The Sunday Globe contains series of inter-
views with the presidents OF the various Boards
of Trade on the business outlook Hon. Geo.
P. Wescott, president of the Portland board
said:
$50 far as my observation extends, there is a bet
ter feeling all around than there was last year.
There is general feeling that the tide of business
is setting in our favor that is in favor of the pub
lie generally. People seem to be giving their Der
sonal attention to business and when business men
give attention to their business they will make 1t
success it shows too that they feel that they have
lishments, like the Portland company and the roll
ling mill well all the similar firms, are doing
we'll all are busy. Outside the city, in Cumberland
and York counties, manufacturers generally are re-
ported to be in very healthy condition, and all ex
pect better business than last year. This is of
the manufactures of Saccarappa, Springvale, San
ford, and in fact all through the State They give
in some cases as reason that Congress has
adjourned and, therefore, for the present. the tariff
will remain as it is.
"What other reason is given by manufacturers for
their confidence that trade is to reTive?" injured
the Globe reporter.
1.-The fact that the stock of goods in the hands of
importers and wholesale merchants is generally
very small, replied Mr.. Wescott.' And as they
are not handling many foreign goods they must buy
amount of goods in first hands, they expect to make
free sales.''
elbow about the crops?''
"The bay crop on old land was light this year; on
new land it was heavy think that take it through
the State there was about two-thirds crop. In
gard to other crops our reports indicate that they
will be large The streams and ponds are well
filled; what drought there has been has been local
in its nature, and not very serious that For the
first time since 1843 Lake Sebago is full"

Ferry Beach Park.
FERRY BEACH PARK, July 2e.

A. De
To the Editor Of the Press:
So many correspondents arc busy writing ND the
beauties Of the beaches in this vicinity that feel
it an imperative duty to speak word for this end
of the beach. The weather during the past week
has been, for the most part, delightful, and every
body has enjoyed every minute of it. While our
neighbors at Old Orchard, have been frettng about
hard times, no people and no money, everybody
about here has been enjoying that peacefuness and
tranquility of mind that comes only to those good
people who are striving to lay up their treasures in
heaven rather than on earth, and that is the kind
we are.
But, gentle reader, don't you think we don't have
some awful good times; we do and the coming
week we going to have big time that will last
to the end of the season.
The entire management Of all the property at
the Park belonging to the Boston g. Maine Railroad
Company. including the pavilion, bowling alley,
bathing house ana restaurant, has been placed In
the hands of 5. q. Hamilton, Jr. of Saco who will
open one of the cosiest skating Kinks on this coast
Mr. Hamilton is a mighty smart young man. and no
better choice for a manager of such an important
enterprise could have been made. During the pres
ent season fine hard wood floor has been laid in
the pavilion, and it can be said, without fear of
contradiction, that it is of the finest skating
surfaces about here. A brass band will furnish mn
SIC every evening, the building will be brilliantly
illuminated, and ever 300 Japanese lanterns will be
hung up about the building, The restaurant will
be strictly rstcass and those who desire to enioy
fine surf bathing find unsurpassed facilities for
doing SO Those who do not care to participate in
any of these exercises or who may become fatigued
from skating or from the rigorous exercise of the
bowling alley, can find plenty of room and seats in
the broad piazza surrounding the building Here
one can sit with the waves dashing up on the
beach at the very foot of the piazza and have one
of the finest views to be obtained at any part of the
beach. Old Orchard people have a good deal to saw
about ozone, and speak as though that portion Of
the atmosphere between Dunstan and Goose Fair
rivers only was charged with it. But God, in His
infinite goodness, has extended 1t across Goose Fair
and as far beyond as the Saco river that we are
well supplied with it. merely mention this SO
that Old Orchard people need not be afraid to come
and sit on our piazza for fear of not getting
any ozone.

details as have not yet been perfected but am at

NEW JERUsALEM CHURcH.

NEW JERUSALEM CHURCH.
At this church in the morning Rev. G. II. Mann
editor of the New Jerusalem Messenger, preached
from Luke xxi, &c and 67-"Art thou the CHRISTI
tell US; and He said unto them, If tell We will not
believe" He said: The disciples asked no proof
of Messiahship; they obeyed the request, "Fellow
me-" Unbelievers will not believe even if they are
shown truths. Belief comes direct from heaven,
True faith in the Lord is from within: Is in the
exercise of the higher faculties of the SOUL Genu-
inc obedience to His laws is the best manner of
procaiming His glory. Many say, "Prove that the
Scripture is the Word of God" but to all such God
says to-day, IF tell you, ye will not beeve' He
but to the higher or spiritual. Important lessons
should be learned by the right faculties of the
mind In His love He does not tell too plainly but
that may be left to Judge for ourselves There
are higher and lower depths of the interior realm OF
thought, of which we have conception. This
inner faith will lead to unselfsh life such as
has not entered our hearts to conceive.
