PULPIT AND PLATFORM.
FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH.

FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH.
At the First Baptist church, Congress street,
in the afternoon, the pastor, Rev. Mr.. Ander-
son, preached from the text in Acts 2S:15-"Ho
thanked God and took courage" This pic
ture, portrayed by the sacred historian, is in
striking contrast with that presented to Moses
in coming down from Mt. Sinai to find the
children of Israel given to idolatry, upon
which the preacher spoke two weeks ago. We
need to look at both sides of the picture-the
encouraging and discouraging. Paul had long
desired to see Rome, but he came now as
a prisoner. Those who knew of him as an
apostle, went forth to meet him; and he, en-
couraged by their presence, trod with lighter
step In his missionary work. 1t was an epoch,
crisis in his course,-for after this he APP
peared to pursue his chosen work with new
zeal. Paul was not fearful or timid so as to
interfere with his duty to his Master; for he
had courage, moral bravery that raised
him above the bodily fear that may have beset
him. 1t is the moral courage that men need to
enable them to act according to the convictions
Of conscience. If we are to live Christian
lives in wicked world, to be faithful to our
convictions, we must have true moral Chris
tian courage. Paul had this courage when he
met his brethren at Appii Forum. What gave
him that courage? 1t was first, the touch of
human sympathy. The apostle was not insen-
sible to human sympathy and affection; his
heart was open to every emotion of human
love, and the manifestation of this love at this
time cheered his heart. He also saw in this
sympathy an evidence of Gods favor, for he
felt that God had sent these brethren to meet
him. So as our inspiration, we need to have
confidence in God. But we must seek to apply
these truths to our every day life we may be-
come an encouragement to others by our inter-
est and sympathy in their work. We are not
to feel this interest merely; we are to ex-
press it, and so help them to work courageous
ly. But look at the other side. What is the
source of the Christians courage? 1t is our
confidence in the presence and goodness of
God. We are to feel that God is with us all
the time to help us, to work with u.s. we are to
have confidence that he will always hear our
prayer. Oh, let US remember that God is ever
true, that he will never forsake us; and SO re-
membering his faithfulness and goodness in the
past, let us thank him and resolve to trust
him and be faithful to him in all the future.

A Sad Affair in Alfrad.

The town of Alfred, in York county, is now
greatly excited over circumstances attending
the death Of Mrs. Francis Allen, which took
place about two weeks ago. The particulars of
the affair are furnished by the Sanford News as
follows:
1t is seldom that the quiet town of Alfred
is stirred to the excitement it has been for a
week or two past. Our readers will remember
that we spoke of the sad death of Mrs. Fran
els Allen in our last weeks issue, and caution
ed the people against giving Judgment in the
case, before the facts in it were more publicly
known. The deceased said before her death
which took place last week, Monday, that the
Thursday morning previous, while she was sit
ting on the piazza in front of the house, her
daughter-in-law had some words with her. Mrs
Allen resented the charge made, in doing which
she provoked the daughter-in-law who pushed
her from the piazza AS she fell she struck a
stone, breaking her right shoulder, arm and
hip, besides injuring her internally She was
taken up unconscious and carried into the
house. DIR. Merrill was called and made an
examination, with the results lust named.
The accused party has been arrested, and
waving an examination is held under $4,000
bonds TO appear next September to answer to
the cause of her arrest. While the accused is
charged with the act which resulted in the
death of Mrs. Allen, it is not claimed that such
terrible results were intended, but as mani
festation of her feelings which were chafed,
not only by the answer she received but by
previous occurrences.
The deceased was very highly esteemed by
her neighbors and all who knew her, and her
death has caused sadness to enter many hearts.

The Grand Trunk.


A dispatch from London says: Gan official
announcement is made that the directors of
the Grand Trunk Railway never offered to
purchase S1,ooO,Coo of new ordinary stock at
%, but that they only had option to buy that
amount at that price. The object the direc-
tors have in view in issuing the balance of the
ordinary stock is to strengthen the position of
the company The issue is made without the
intervention of syndicates. The COMPANY is at
present in strong financial position, and in
tends to apply $4,000 in paying off its six DER
cent. preference securities. The applications
already received for the ordinary stock have
entirely justified the directors in the course
adopted"

TO leave Portland about nine o'clock, but the
train from Boston did not reach here till TO- 10

not promise we'll, owing to copious showers, but
by eleven o'clock the clouds had rolled away
and charming summers day was enjoyed.
The party from Boston filled seven cars, and
the Portland party two, all engineers and fire.

THE LAST DAY.
The World Still Moves Although June
10th has Passed.

For some time past an item has been going
the rounds of the press-more particularly in
Canada and the West-that June 10Th. at a.
M, the end of the world would come. In
many cases it was stated that this was the date
fixed by tho Adventists for the second coming
OF Christ, when the righteous would ascend
into Heaven. 1t had also been rumored that
our Advent brethren in this city were prepar-
ing for the event, and therefore a reporter for
the PRESS yesterday made some investigations
into the matter.
AT the Second Advent meeting in Union
Hall no reference was made to the subject, but
some of the members of the congregation,
after the service, were talking about the ru-
NOR. One of the leading Adventists said there
was no belief on the part of the denomination
that any date had been fixed for the second
coming of our Lord. The Bible had especially
stated that no man should know the date or
hour of his coming, and that all must be pre-
pared for the event at any time. When the
deluge destroyed the earth there was merry
making, and feasting just preceding the awful
event, and the world was taken unawares
This was lesson for the present generation.
Another member, Brother Rounds, stated
that he had carefully prepared chronological
table by which he had automatically demon
strated that the time for the second coming of
Christ and the destruction of the world would
be at the date of the autumnal equinox or about
the 23d of September. 1t may be remembered
that some time ago the PRESS gave descrip-
ton OF this chart of Brother Rounds
Still another member of this church said
that prophecy mad fixed the time as falling be-
fore the year 1884, but without settling on any
particular day.
None OF the members had any belief or had
been impressed with the belief that to-day was
especially selected for tho ascension.
There were, however, as we'll as could be
gathered, several people, who do not belong to
this society, who had settled conviction, for
several days past, that yesterday would see
them translated. One man, who drives bake
cart, made all his preparations, and, on Satur-
day, went about and babe all his friends adieu
He seemed very happy in his belief, and must
have been sadly disappointed. A lady, who
lives on Munjoy Hill, it was reported, who
owned small house and had little property
of her own, consisting of some $500, made
deed of the property to some friends, but held
the deed over Sunday before having it regis
tered SO as TO make sure that she should not
need it any more. The question might arise
what good the property would do the lady's
friends if the world did come to an end.
In Canadian and Western towns and villages
many people have had such firm belief in the
destruction of the world on the 10Th of June
that farmers have refused to plant crops. Per-
haps, considering the backwardness of the sea-
son, it was just as we'll.
