MENDELssoHN oUlNTETrz CLUB.

The Mendelssohn Qaintette club, of Bos-
ton, brought to this city by the Nakoma
club, was greeted by good audience at the
opera house last night. The concert was
one ofthe most delightful ever given in this
city, and it would be hard indeed to say
much of the musical taste of any place
where this company should fail to draw
full house. The audience is at once struck
with the quiet demeanor and dignifed bear
ing of the performers. How it is that it
seems that they enter SO quietly into the
work, as if moved by one controlling spirit
would be hard TO tell, but the auditor sits
spellbeund as if enchanted. The Nskoms
club has the thanks of the community for
affording sucha fine class of entertainments.
We hope that the purchase of land made
for union depot by Mr.. "April LIST" proved
satisfactory TO our real estate men. As a
boom for the first of the month it was about
the most plausible scheme We could think
of. al Thomns declared that he los. five
thousand dollar sale, which is TO be re-
GREETED. John Exton said for while he
thought it was all day for the east end of
the avenue. Commodore Woodman &C
knowledged tina, he caught on in the regular
way, but declared that it is the most sensible
and feasible thing for the railroads TO do,
after all. Oak Davidson loaded up his shot
gun, avowing that the LIST day of April was
too thin for such serious matters. Pat
Healy telephoned Us early in the day that he
had just made the biggest sale of the season
and sll on account of the satisfactory loca-
ton of the union depot. And SO they went
all day. In truth. not few gulped the
whole business; in truth there was but very
few who did not hold fast for greater or
less number of minutes. Well. the LIST of
April comes but once year at about this
season.

On the first of October, 1895, the first class
was organized. Six persons constituted the
nucleus around which have gathered the forces
of MethOdlsm.
Methodist society became strong enough to
build a place for public worship In the years
1905 the first Methodist church edifce was de-
TAYLOR and the society with its ffty-one members.
From this humble beginning after varying

church the eldest of the comedy MethOdistc
daughters thal reflect so much honor upon their
less pretentious mothers
Methodsm being simply Christianity in earnest
as it has been said by a distinguished Scotch
divine positively aggressive ever on the alert, she
has always been planning larger things.
In harmony with this spirit in the year 1S46 she
planted a colony in the western portion Of the
city from which has grown the present Pine
In the year 1851 she turned her eyes toward
Munjoy Hill which is beautiful for situation like
coveted it for Christ and the church. and in the
generosity of her nature she set apart sixty OF her
members to form the nucleus OF another Methodist
society. The first class and prayer service was
held in the summer of 1851 in the house OF SQlo,

And Mrs Solomon Davis still l1nger with us and

three hundred persons was erected at the corner
of ST. Lawrence and Congress streets upon a lot
which was the gift of DIR. Elphalet Clark whose
name is in the Methodist churches OF Portland
and vicinity and whose consistent life and spot
less Christian character and unstlnted charlty
have made his memory, sweet perfume IN all
the churches.
Dedicated to divine worship in the middle OF
the conference year by the Rev. Dr.. weber the
new edifce was occupied till the ensuing session
of the annual conference by the Rev. Eaton Shaw
who has gone to his reward. -,
In the Spring of 1852 the Rev. VIM. f. Earring
ton who still survives in health at the advanced
age of more than four score years, was appointed
