VETERAN OF THE WAR.
soswo rth Post Given a Brass Gun
with a History.

At the meeting of Bosworth Post last FRI
dav evening, Commander George F. French
announced that j. F. Liscomb, Esq, general
agent and treasurer of the Portland Steam
Packet Company, desired to present to the
Post brass gun, formerly the armament of
the rebel privateer 'Tacomy," which cut out
the cutter "Caleb Cushing" during the war.
The members of the Post were highly
pleased and unanimously accepted the gift,
and passed a vote of thanks to the donor.
The following letter from Mr.. Liscomb gives
the history of the gun:
PORTLAND, May Goth, 1891.
George n. French, Esq, Commander BosWorth
Post, No. 2, G.. n. n.
Dear Sir-I take pleasure In asking your &C.
what conspicuous part in the local history Of
Portland during the Civil War. 1t was the arma-
ment OF the rebel privateer "Tacomy," whose
crew entered Portland harbor and captured the
transferred by them to one of their prizes. the
fishing schooner "Archer." which was taken pos
session of, after the destruction of the "Ca-
leb Gushing" by the Forest City," under COM
mand of my father, Capt. j. j. Liscomb. During
his lifetime the gun was cared for by him and
kept on the forecastle of the steamer Forest
City" and subsequently the John Brooks" and
since his death has been in my charge.
Being DESTROYS that the relic should be in the
hands OF those who would particularly regard its
OF no more suitable custodian than your Post, nor
one to whom would more willingly transfer it.
i should be very glad to send the gun upon its
original carriage as It rested upon the deck of the
priyateer to your building at your pleasure.
Yours respectfully,
j. +. LISCoMB.

missionary. The report was the same as he
presented to the convention at the business
meeting 10 the afternoon, and was read In
the evening by request. The addresses
were OF missionary character, the first on
opportunity" being delivered by Rev. E.
r. femDer of Bangor. Many and many
Time In our lives we strike bright moments
what is true of individuals is true of
churches There are certain times when
everything Is at its best l can but believe
tnat there is an opportunity for us in the
state OF Maine, by organized, splendid eff
iorts, call them missionary efforts il we will,
TO put the Universalist church on solid
ground. The question before US tonight is
our opportunity-the opportunity for mis-
sionary effort. l believe there has been ac-
complished wonderful thing in this line.
There are many people In the State of Maine
who call themselves Universalists, but thew
are simply anti-orthodox. There was never
time when the message of our faith was
more acceptable to the masses than today.
NOW Is our opportunity as never before, to
proclaim our faith as we ought few
years have wrought great change in the
preJudices OF people, and men are anxious
TO understand the religion of humanity as
never before. Our Interpretation of the
Scriptures meets the approval of the masses,
and our views are accepted as true. The
opportunity is before us to uphold the ban
ner of our faith.
A collection was taken.
Rev. 9. A. Hayden of Auburn spoke on
"The Work Before U.s." And it is ali before
US, and not behind us. There is for
us future in the State of Maine
that shall make our church honored in
the next quarter of century. We are
the leaven of the Christian world. There
has been leavening going on since the
days Of the Pilgrim fathers. The gospel
does not say that leaven will bring down the
kingdom of heaven. The meal is required
as the iea,yen, and the kneading process. AS
Oniversa!ists we have been too content
with a little leaven. The question will be
asked OF the church of the future, "Can you
produce better bread than the old?'
The hymn "The morning light is break
Ing" was sung and Rev. c. A. Hayden pro-
nounced the benediction.
This evening at the close of the exercises
IN the church, the ladies of the Congress
Square church will receive the members and
friends of the convention In the vestry of the
church. The committee in charge are Mrs.
Geo. NJ. Moore, Mrs. Henry Blanchard, Mrs

Tho Maine Diocese and Or. Brooks.


To the Editor OF the Press:
The decision of the Diocese of Maine in re-
gard to the election of DR.. Brooks, while by
no means unexpected must have sent sharp
thrill of sorrow to the heart of many a
churchman in the state. 1t is impossible to
avoid the conviction that crisis has come
In the history of the Episcopal church in the
United States. Men are awake now, as
never before to the sin and misery around
them, and to their responsibility for its
relief. They recognize that 1t is time to lay
aside all party differences and abandon their
dream of an impossible uniformity that they
may work together in true Christian unity
for the redemption of the world. They look
for leaders in the crusade which is before
them; they await with eager interest the
answer to Their appeal for guidance from
those who proclaim themselves especially
commissioned to do Christ's work In the
world. But they demand that the response
shall show not only pure and lofty purpose,
earnest conservation to duty as 1t is under
stood, but also the intellectual strength
aud breadth of view which can Justly es-
innate and wisely meet the problems of
modern civilization. If the Episcopal church
can offer such combination, its future posi-
ton and influence are assured. If not, then,
as in Babylon of old, its judgment is written
for those who can read it-"ThOu art
weighed in the balances and art found want
ing.U and its doom follows inexorably-
"God hath numbered thy kingdom and
finished it,"
