AT the IDterdenominational Conference of
the churches Of Maine, held in Waterville,
Nov. 4th, 1891. the representatives assembled
unanimously passed the following: 1--WE de-
sire to affirm our conviction as follows: That
in our judgment the churches in our cities and
larger towns should cooperate on the basis of
the Evangelical Alliance plans or others of
similar nature" The pastors Of the churches
OF Ellsworth have carefully studied the Evan
geIicai Alliance plans in private, and, in three
OF the ministers meetings have considered
them They believe that the united adoption
OF the plans by the churches should prove a
blessing to the city q whole. They have,
therefore. decided to bring this matter before
the churches. On Sunday, Feb. Dist, each
pastor will present the subject Of the Evange-
ical Alliance 10 the pulpit of his own church.
1t is earnestly hoped that the public generally
Will be interested In the presentation of the
subject The pastors would especially urge
every church member and every professed
follower Of Christ to be In his or her place at
the preaching service on Sunday, Feb. 21st.
II that day be stormy the matter will be pre-
sented on the first Sunday following.
