Minister'S Meeting.

The evangelical ministers of Portland and
vicinity held their regular meeting at the
Y. M. @. A. rooms yesterday morning at
1890 The question for consideration: SIS
our city agency doing legitimate bust.
ness?" was fully and fairly discussed.
While ministers were not supposed to know
much about the legitimate business of the
liquor agency, yet, from the knowledge they
possessed the subject was carefully consid-
cred. The sentiment was unanimously ex-
pressed that the use of intoxicating LIQUOR
as medicine was very rarely necessary, and
great regret was expressed that it was so
generally used, yet while the medical faculty
prescribed it and while it was used in
mechanism and the arts, it was necessary
that some place should be provided where it
could be obtained in harmony with the law
for the suppression of drinking houses and
tippling shops. But the feeling was ex-
pressed that even this was attended with
great peril to the progress of the temperance
cause. The following resolution was adopt
ed by the association:
Resolved, That so far as we can ascertain from
the Information in our possession, we are of the
opinnion that the agent for the sale of intoxica-
ting liquors for medicinal and other PURPOSES Is
using his most careful efforts to conduct his bust
ness In a legitimate manner.

The New Pastor Of Chestnut Street
Church,


We copy the following from the Grinnell
Herald, of Grinnell. Iowa, May 18th, relative
to the new pastor of Chestnut street church I:
Rev. Matt s. Hughes closed his work with
us Sundav-his visible work, but the in
fluence of his manly character viii be felt
among us for years. Sunday morning he
said good bye to his people. In the evening
he preached in the Congregational church
to the largest crowd that was every inside
Nicodemus :-"Verily, verify say unto thee
except man be born again he cannot see
the Kingdom of God" The sermon was
plain, clear presentation of Bible truth show
ing that a changed life comes only from
changed heart 1t was delivered with that
fervor which characterizes Mr.. Hughes's
discOurses and was effective in its appeal to
the highest aspirations of his hearers. Sure
ly no one could listen to such a sermon and
90 away without feeling stronger in impulse
towards higher life.
Inc work of this eloquent young preacher
closes here under the most favorable cir
cumstances. All that he has of influence
among us he has secured by steady per-
sistence in the line of duty. pleading Bible
creeds and doctrines. BE and his family
will be much missed among us and will
carry to their Maine home many war I'm
friendships of all denominations. These
resolutions were read by Rev. DIR. Magoun
ob viz OiooC VI buo Ouuudy evening service:
The undersigned pastors and resident ministers
In GTinnell have learned with great and unusual
regret OF the coming removal Of Rev. Matt s.
a. hughes from our town and from the charge of
the Methodist Episcopal church here. We had
noted with glowing pleasure his acceptable and
thoroughly evangelical preaching, his firm and
earnest stand for every thing good among us, his
success In winning souls to Christ, and eleYating
the standard of Christian experience. Our other
churches were stronger and the cause of Christ
at large, for the strength he brought to the
Methodist church and was developing more and
more. His unusual power with the young, and
MS spirit OF kindly Christian manhood and charity
towards all believers were making his ministry
here one Of great value, the close of which we
deeply regret; Our affectionate and ardent good
wishes 60 with him to the Atlantic coast.
