If you will look on the map of Maine in
about the centre of Franklin county you will
find the township of Eustis. In Stratton, an
adjoining town, there is Methodist church.

OF the people are practically without the
Gospel- They can raise to help sustain a
preacher two or three hundred dollars Their
membership is 49, A preacher could live
a M comfortably on five hundred dollars.
Ihere are many such points In Maine, and
s sucn places az least the Parent Missionary
society ought to make appropriations.
n Inc Question Box, conducted by Rev. A.
%. Leonard, DID, Of New York. was very
interesting part OF the programme.
Evening Session.
Rev. Mr.. Adams opened the services with
prayer
Rev. A. B. Leonard, DID,, of New York,
secretary of the Missionary Society of New
York, was then introduced as the speaker of
the evening. He gave brief
history of the Methodist church
starting from the time of John
Wesley. In 1919 the first organization was
formed for missionary work in this country.
Inc missionary society today is the sue
cessor OF that of 1919. 1t is an organization
for the evangeliZation of heathern lands In
1927 the tract society and the Sunday School
Union were organized. In 1864 the church
extension society was organized. He related
the labors of the Methodist Missionary So
eiety In the West-among the Wyandotte
Observation-Disclosures Of whom were brought to
Christ. Meth0dsm has built 14.0O0 churches
in this country. If other churches do as
we'll there will be no danger of the reign of
the Pope.
The missionary society in the South have
brought no the Methodist church to 100000
souls; 200, 200 whites and 2OO, 900 blacks. In
1866 the Freedmen's Aid Soclty was organ
lied and SO Institutes of education are the
result In 1869 the Woman's Foreign Mis-
sion Society was organized, and sent be-
tween 140 ami 100 missionaries to foreign
lands. Then We drifted along till 1880 when
the Woman's Home Missionary Society,
which has done and is doing work, was or
ganiZed.
The programme today will be the same as
that already published, with the substitu-
lion of Rev. 7. Whiteside in the place of
