ing.
MARTHA's GROVE, Fryeburg, Aug. IL
The heavy showers of yesterday afternoon
and evening cleared the air, and the breeze to
day has carried away all superfiuous moist
ure, making the campground cool and at
tractive place, as was shown by the increas-
ed attendance
A conservation service was held at a. M,
followed by another similar meeting, good
results attending both. The forenoon SER
mon was preached by Rev. G. G. Andrews of
Wilton, from John xii, 24-25, the theme be-
ing Life out of Death"
AS there is life from the wheat only as it
dies, living it abideth alone, and ultimately
loses its life-producing power-so the death
of Christ was necessary for the spiritual life
of humanity. Living, stunning death, he
abideth, the only representative of humani-
ty in heaven In subordinate sense man
is to die to bear fruit; living and not abiding
alone he loses the life through the very
means he used to save it.
At p. m. there was meeting at the Frye
burg Cottage, conducted by Rev. M. B.
Greenhalgh, now of Gorham, but last year
stationed at Fryeburg.
The afternoon service was in charge of the
Troy Praying Band, and consisted of prayer,
singing, testimony and passages OF Scripture
The leader, Mr.. Joseph Hillman, said,
"The world today wants witnessing
church Different revivalists have different
methods of work. God bless them ALL Our
way is to begin with the church; we want to
know how you stand"
The drift of the meeting was the need Of
valiant soldiers of Christ, and how best to
serve in his army.
The hymn book used in the meetings is
The Revivalist, compiled and published by
Joseph Hillman.
Among the ministers present are Rev.
Tommy Jones, son of the presiding elder,
and Rev. Theodore Gerrish of Biddeford,
who gave some thrilling war lectures at the
CL. S. C. meeting here last year.
