MORE LAND FOR THE OAKS.
Shall the City Buy the Property of Messrs.
Deering, Conant and Wescott?

When the city acquired the possession
Of the Deering property back of the
Oaks it was tacitly understood that the
boundary line between Deering and Port
land !. should be the stream. The
course of the stream was and is a tor
tuous one. When the Rochester road
ran its extension through this low land
through which the stream runs, there
was good deal of land left between the
track and stream. Now it is proposed
that the track shall be the boundary line
and the city acquire the land as far as
the track for the park at the Oaks. Messrs
Deering, Wescott and Conant own the
land, some 81, 900 feet, which would have
to be bought. Mr. Deering owns the
most and will sell for five cents per foot
if used for park purposes. Aldermen
Tolman and Josselyn, special committee
of the city government appointed to con-
slider the ACCESSIBILITY of purchasing this
land looked over the ground Saturday
and will report later to the city council.

Kyoto Hospital.

We have received from DR.. John G..
Berry, the medical director, the sixth
annual report of the Doshisha Mission
Hospital and Training School for Nurses
at Kyoto, Japan, for 1892. This hospi-
tai is connected with the American
Board of Foreign Missions. 1t shows
200 in-patients and 2199 out-patients.
When the earthquake occurred at Ogaki,
the hospital sent a corps of u physic-
ians and nurses to the relief of the suf-
ferers. They labored there 10 days until
relieved by Japanese surgeons and the
Red Cross Society, and during that time
4S1 patients were treated. Ten nurses
were graduated during the year. Con-
siderable charity work is done by this
hospital, and much more could and
would be done if contributions were
larger.

TEMPERANCE TALK.
John M. Todd at the Gospel Mission-Mr.
Pearson's Plan to Help Drunkards. .

Last evening Mr.. John M. Todd deliy-
cred a spirited temperance lecture be-
fore the Gospel Mission. He
said that temperance people would take
more stock in high license if all the
rumsellers were not so anxious for it..
Mr.. Todd exhorted his hearers to sup
port Sheriff Cram in the coming election.
In the last year the sheriff had made
20S6 seizures, and had 364 cases before
the court. ''They say,'' said Mr.. Todd,
sthat the sheriff pays too much atten-
ton to the liquor law. Suppose he had
caught 20S6 thieves. Would they say he
had paid too much attention to the
thieves? The reason why he seizes
more rum than thieves is because the
liquor sellers are more numerous and
persistent than the thieves"
After Mr.. Todd had concluded, Mr..
Pearson spoke of the Kelley cure. He
said there were hundred men in the
city of Portland who were longing for
the opportunity to be released from that
thraldom to rum. But they have not the
money to take the Kelley cure, which
costs about $125. Mr.. Pearson said he
had been studying on some way to re-
lieve these men; and he had determined
to endeavored to get a loan of $1,000 to
establish in Cape Elizabeth a refuge
where men could be treated for intern
perance at moderate cost. He thought
that plan could be arranged to help the
poor inebriates out of their bondage.
Mr.. Pearson's plan does not contemplate
the use of the Kelley cure, upon which
there is a patent; but another cure,
which, will be administered by very
skilful professional man. He hoped to be
able to arrange it SO that penniless inc
briates may give them their notes in
payment.

RED WING SMASHED.
A Perilous Collision in the Harbor Yester-
day.

Yesterday afternoon Officer Newcomb
saw from the Eastern Promenade of this
city what appeared to be yacht bottom
up half way between Great Diamond and
Mackworth's Islands. 1t proved to be
what was left of the yacht Red Wing af-
ter an exciting and perllous collision.
Yesterday morning a party of % young
men chartered the Red Wing to go to
Cow Island to spend the day. Captain
Henry johnson, owner of the yacht,
went along to manage her. The party
left Cow Island about o'clock, the Red
Wing keeping compan ny with Randall &
McAllister's sloop skow Ripple, Captain
Doyen. When off Mackworth's Island
the Red Wing was on the port tack, and
a heavy breeze was blowing. Both YES
sells were bowling at a high rate of speed,
so the Red Wing people say, the Ripple
took short tack and at once smashed
into the Red Wing, breaking down her
port bow. The Red Wing filled at once.
A part of her party were in the cabin,
and the water was all around them be-
fore they got out. But they and the rest
of the party managed to scramble aboard
the Ripple. One boy fell into the water
between the two beats, but was fished
out all right. Nearly all the party lost
clothing, a great many coats going down
with the Red Wing.
Last evening Captain johnson went
down in one of the Carter yachts to see
what could be done about saving the
Red Wing.

THE COMING MAN.
Rev. DR.. CIymer's Farewell Sermon at
Pine St. Church.

Rev. DR.. C1ymer's preached his fare
well sermon at Pine St. church yesterday
taking for the text Cor. 16-10E"And if
Timotheus come, see that he may be
among you without fear, for he worketh
the work of the Lord as / also do"
By the coming man do not mean the
ideal man of the age but the coming man
who shall be pastor of this church. For
the most part you have been faithful and
loyal to me, let me give my farewell
counsel in behalf of my successor. Let
the coming man who shall be your pas
tor, be with you without fear as to
material support. Your minister lives a
public life, and the expense of living con-
stantly in the public eye are great. He
must be an honest, generous man given
to hospitality and to be this he must be
without fear as to substantial finan-
cial support.
Again let your minister be without fear
as to your personal love. He is. not your
hired man under obligations to do SO
much work for so much money but he is
your brother to work with and for you
for your upbuilding in character. He is
not your merchant to give you SO many
sermons and so much pastoral attention
for so many dollars, but he is your min
lister to minister to you in righteousness
according to his ability. He is not a
politician to seek for himself a place
among you for his own ggrandizement,
but he is your pastor to lead and guide you
in the paths of righteousness. Recognize
hi HE hoo6cl1ir1 vo1.o n Ill
the affairs of the church must be
recognized or there can be no success in
church work. Recognize and honor his
individually, for individuality is the
secret of power in any man. Receive
him into the sacred circle of your family
love, and obtain in him the ownership of
love. He is yours in love and as such
you ought to honor him as your minister
at all times.
Let the coming man be with you with
out fear as to your personal loyalty. Be
loyal to him. He will not be perfect
man. You may not be pleased with all
his ways. Do not let your tastes or
preferences make you disioyal to the
man who stands in your pulpit.
His plan may not suit you. Never
theless be loyal to them. Though
in your Judgment they may not
be wise, work them. His headship and
leadership must be acknowledged, or
confusion and destruction will come to
all your church work.
Let the coming man your minister be
with you without fear as to your spirit
ual cooperation.
The Christian church is not club
house for few select people to gather
for the care of themselves, but it is a
house of prayer for all people.
There was a large congregation and
after the service the members present
came forward to shake hands with DR..
Clymer and bid him God speed.
Rev. Mr.. Palmer the presiding elder
will preach next Sunday at Pine Street
church. The pulpit of the church will
be supplied through the month of August
as follows:
August 7, by Mr.. Mcdonald secretary of the
Y. M. C. A.
August IA, Rev. James Wright.
