METHODIST GROVE MEETING.
This meeting commenced Saturday afternoon,
Rev. d. b. Randall presiding.
At o'clock j. Wolfe gave Bible reading
at the stand, instead of the tent n ceilings
usual at that hour. 1t was not topical read
ing, but selection Of readings, which natural.
ly suggested some things, largely from his own
experience, which he wished to say. His
peculiar style, quaint expressions and stories
are calculated to "draw" and amuse rather
than to instruct and profit.
At o'clock Rev. j. B. Hamilton of New
Hampshire, now preaching as a supply under
the presiding elder at Hammond street, Lewis
ton, preached from Matt. XIV, $50 woman,
great is thy faith. The speaker said, "Christ
was on vacation at the seaside, but he could
not be hid, and multitudes followed him. The
speaker compared the notoriety of Christ to
that of protested Indian doctor that he saw
parading the streets in Lewiston not long since,
saying that the similitude struck his mind at
the time.
He then presented the Gentle woman as an
illustration of wonderful faith. Christ was the
Messiah of the Jews and she knew that as a
Geutile she had no claims, yet she accepted the
Christ they rejected.
2. She felt her need
3. She expected what she asked for.
4. She persevered in her request.
In conclusion he remarked that faith was
victory and controlled the omnipotence of God.
An altar service followed the sermon.
