The mass meeting of the citizens in the
Granite church last evening, called in aid of
the Howard Benevolent Union of Augusta,
was very tally attended considering the frig-
idity of the weather. The usual evening
prayer meetings Of the several churches were
suspended to allow their members an oppor-
tuniiy of attending the meeting The pas
tors of nearly all the churches were present
Ex-Gov. Connor, president of the Union,
presided Rev. Mr.. Penney after reading
several very appropriate passages Of the scrip
lures offered prayer. The president stated
briefly and in clear manner the objects of
the Union. II is an endeavor to enlist the
sympathy of the people in benevolent work,
to bring together those benevolently inclined
to aid deserving ones requiring assistance
and to make such relief prompt and full. 1t
is the intention to institute an industrial de-
partment to teach the poor to help themselves.
We need funds; need business men and
women We of course cannot employ paid
agents and must rely on the citizens. We
require the cooperation of the entire COM
munity. General Conner was followed by
Revs. Messrs Tilden, Thacher and Bradlee
who spoke briefly and in an explanatory
manner of the Union and its objects and ex-
pressed their approval of the organization.
The secretary read the constitution of the
Union, after which 80 names were added to
its list of membership, s55 being received as
fees. Hon. j. W. Bradbury and Rev. I. J.
Mead made brief but cheering remarks in
approval Of the Union. The meeting closed
with singing by the choir and the benedic-
ton by Prof. Ropes of Bangor.
