Meeting Of the Ministerial Associa-
ton.

A meeting of the Ministerial Association
of Portland and vicinity was held in I. "a.
G. A. Hall yesterday morning
Rev. Henry Blanchard was appointed
chairman.
Prayer was offered by DIR. A. X. P. Small.
A committee from the City Government,
consisting of Messrs. Marks. Burgess and
Dewey, was present to request the co-opera-
ton of the pastors in arranging for Sunday
services in connection with the city centen-
NAL. The following action was taken by the
association:
RESOLVED, That, accepting the Invitation of the
City Government, this Association invite all the
pastors OF the city to preach historical sermons
concerning their parishes on Sunday, July 4th,
and to give to the committee having the matter Ill
charge such reports as they shall deem pest Ior
preservation In the centennial volume.
The question for discussion was Sunday
Excursions" Rev. Fl. c. Durham opened
the discussion by calling attention to mems
need of the day for rest and spiritual I'M
provement All cannot keep it alike, as cir
cumstances differ If short excursions to
the country or the islands could be kept
from the spirit of worldliness, they might
become helpful. But the tendency is to dis
sipation. He suggested as remedies the
Saturday half holiday and pay day earlier in
the week than Saturday.
Rev. Marion Crosley reported his observa-
tons as to the practical working of the "half
holiday in Scotland. The effect was bad,
giving increased time for dissipation, and
resulting in empty churches on Sunday
morning. He advocated shorter hours each
day and closed stores Saturday evening
Rev. Francis Southworth spoke earnestly
of the increasing dissertation of the Lords
day by the Sunday excursions to the iflands,
and felt that we should refuse patronage to
those who thus violate law.
Reys. Marsh, Small and others spoke with
streng conviction concerning the matter, and
the general inquiry was, ''What are you
going to do about it?"
Rev. l.. II. Hallock presented the follow
ing resolution, which was adopted
Resolved, That the executive committee of the
Ministerial Association of Portland and vicinity
are hereby authorized and instructed to confer
with the owners and managers of steamboats,
running to the Islands and to other ports, and
with the managers of the railroads running out OF
Portland, and to present to them our respectful
but urgent appeal that they will cooperate with
as in maintaining the sanctity of the Sabbath, by
withdrawing and withholding all boats and trains
on Sunday. except such as are absolutely nsces-
sary, and that they do not cater to the reported
demands for Sunday excursions"
1t was reported that in Portland stores of
different kinds were opened and business
was being transacted on Sunday. A COM
mittee Of three was appointed to investigate
the matter of Sunday trade" This COM
mittee consists Of Revs. Dunn, Hallock and
Durham.
The association adjourned for one week,
then to hear the report of these committees.
