The Sabbath service Sunday in Gorham at
the Methodist church was peculiarly interest
ing. 1t being Harvest Sabbath" the church
was handsomely decorated with Autumn leaves
and fruits of various kinds. In the afternoon
Rev Mr.. Corey delivered discourse especial
iy appropriate to the elderly portion of his
congregation, in which he took occasion to say
that as a pastor of parish he was especially
anxious to have the elder and the younger peo-
pie of his charge well united and familiar with
each other, the younger always respectful and
attentive to the old, and the old ever seeking
to promote and advance the best interests OF
the young. In the evening the Sunday school
held a. Harvest concert, which called out a
very large crowd of earnest and attentive lis
teners. The children and youth did them
selves and their teachers great credit in their
interesting performance, and the concert was
pronounced a decided success by the large au-
dience present.

AFTERNOON SESSION.

At2 D. m. Rev. E. S. Stackrole preached an
able and interesting sermon on l John Ii: IL:
Topic-"Christ our way of access to the Fa-
ther;" and was followed by Campmeeting
John Allen, who related his experience.
The next topic, "The duty of minister to
his predecessor and successor was discussed
byIRev. P. Jaques. Grace did not always at
once take all selfshness out of the heart. He
illustrated what he considered the proper
course by incidents in his own history. Some
times the retiring paste sought to retain the
highest place in the affections OF the people he
had served. He could easily drop word that
would effectually block the way of his success
sor for time.
The roll was called and the most of the
brethren expressed their views under five
minutes rule of limitation, taking in substance
the ground that successors way should
be opened by kind appreciative words and the
predecessor defended if he should be, or else
nothing be said
1t being announced that Rev. G. G. Mason,
presiding elder of the Lewiston district, was
very sick, Rev. Mr.. Jaques was appointed to
express by letter, and Rev. Mr.. Randall in
person, the Christian sympathies of the breth-
rem, and Rev. Messrs. Randall and Hatch then
led the meeting in prayer in his behalf.
The next topic, "Relation of social enter.
tainments to the prosperity of the church,
was opened in good essay by Rev. s. L. Ad-
ans, and was briefly discussed by the mem
bers of the meetings.
Rev. DR.. McKeown was excused from
preaching in the evening on account of the re-
vival interest in his church requiring his pres
ence at home; and the last topic for the after
noon, "How can a better attendance of the
children on preaching be secured?" was sub
stituted for the sermon.
