session today. In the afternoon, after col

called upon as he had nothing fitting to say,
but there was no mercy In crowd whether
the crowd was composed of good Christians
or outside barbarians. Hence he must sub
init. Conventions like this were very bene-
fcial. Man and man were brought together
and improved by contact. Our highest duty
to God was discharged when we performed
all our duty toward our fellow men. If there
was any class of men that need sympathy, 1t
was the clergy. IL a minister had some
fault, foible or falling. remedy the matter by
encouraging him. "As a layman," he said,
81 urge you to encourage and cooperate
more heartily with your ministers"
DIR. A. w. Small, president of Colby Uni
versity said: AT the centennial celebration
at the Baptist church in Bangor which l at
half Baptist and that too it was his better
half That man was Hon. Hannibal Ham
lin your honored president, a man to whom
we may point as type of loyal Ameri-
can citizenship" President Small then elo-
quently urged the necessity of harmonious
cooperation among all denominations to the
end that the kingdom of heaven might come
on earth.
Rev. Mr.. Cressey of Bangor, DIR. Hill of
Portland, Rev. Grindall Reynolds of Con-
cord, Mass, and others made speeches.
