The Universalists of Maine assembled in

The convention was called to order by the

lug committees as follows:

Portland, Mr.. Gee of Auburn, Rev. W. W.
Lovejoy OF Calais.

original convention.
Rev. Mr.. Little gave brief account of the
flourishing condition of the church in Bruins
wick.
At II o'clock Rev. W. W. Lovejoy of Calais
preached from I'd Kings, 8: 10. The cure of
leprosy of Naaman was used to illustrate the
importance of kindness and duty in small
things as the suggestion of the Israelitish
serving maid led to his going to Elisha for help
for his malady, and from the course of Naaman
was drawn the lesson of active faith and of
humility in doing something, and that thing
repugnant to him.
At 2 p. m. the convention re-assembled.
The President called the convention to order
and introduced Rev. J. P. Weston, D. D., as
president of the educational meeting. After

brook Seminary, reported as to the fourishlng
condition of that institution, as regards its dis
cipline, instruction and its general standing.
Rev. W. G. Haskell of Lewiston followed
with an essay, "The Relation of the Church
to Education" claiming that the Romish
church was the enemy of the common school
and taught its priests that which was written
in the Greek and Latin, and what was to be
found in books written in the ink drawn from
their own fountains; the Protestant church
was the founder and promoter of the common
school, and regarded public education as its
strong ally.
Rev. II. Whitman of Mechanic Falls read
an essay, "What We Owe to Education, %
claiming that as denomination, the Univer-
salists owed to education more philosophic
statement of faith, a more highly educated
clergy and an increased amount of denomina-
tional literature of higher standard
Mr.. G. s. FObeS OF Portland presented the
claims OF UNCONVENTIONAL schools. !.
Rev. DR.. Quinby of Augusta, Hons. S. Per.
ham and M. P. Frank urged the claims of
Westbrook Seminary to the patronage ard
support of the people of the State.

Badly Burned.

The schooner D. r. French plies between
this port and Damariscotta. Last week, while
the vessel was lying at anchor at the latter
place, Capt Andrews was using some benzine
in the cabin, near lighted lamp. The BEN
zine caught fire and the captain undertook to
carry the bucket which contained the benzine
on deck, but was obliged to drop it in the COM
panion way and rush through the flames to
the deck. He was very badly burned about
the face, neck and hands. The fire in the
cabin was soon put out, although the cabin
was considerably scorched.

GORHAM.
Common cement Exercises at the State
Normal School.

Yesterday was Commencement at the State
Normal and Training School at Gorham and
that pleasant village was crowded with strang-
ers and friends Of the scholars, as we'll as with
many of the former pupils of the school, 1t
is conceded that the class of 80, for devotion
to study and for scholarship, have proved
themselves worthy of the school and reflect
credit on the teachers who have devoted them
selves Increasingly to their work.
Commencement at Gorham differs in some
respects from Commandments elsewhere, in
that there is no special effort made at prepare
ton, the regular work of the school proceed
ing up to the day itself. This year the subjects
for the essays were not announced until about
one week previous to the Commencement
While such a course detracts somewhat from
the effect of the Commencement, it adds
much more to the success of the school as a
school.
Considerable attention has been paid to the
study of geology and collection, every way
credltable to the school, of specimens made.
In design drawing the effect of a very few
lessons given toward the close of the term was
apparent in the studies on exhibition.
Yesterday the morning and afternoon SER
vices were devoted to the examinations, and
the result showed marked progress, being in
every way satisfactory.
At the close of the afternoon exercises the
Hon. N. A. Luce, State Superintendent, ad-
dressed the graduating class briefly, comforting

men forming the class of 80:
