| very large audience, the church being
closely packed and yet large numbers Of
people went away unable to obtain adj
mission. The John A. Adams Post of
Gorham as well as the Relief Corps were
guests. On Monday Mrs. Livermore de-
Hvered the Memorial address and it was
indeed memorial service. 1t was a
living, thrilling recital by one of the
| grandest women in America as she talked
| to the boys Of the scenes they had been
through together and as she earnestly
called upon the young people to remem-
Der as long as they lived, what these men
had done in order to preserve the Union.
On Sunday Mrs. Livermore went out
after the sermon and passed the line
| shaking hands with each comrade. On
Monday an informal reception was held
in the church after the address. We
feel that the post has conferred upon the
village great benefit in bringing such a
woman to speak to us twice. Preceding
the address Rev. Mr.. Tucker read brief
portion of scripture and Rev. Mr.. Aiken
of Windham Hill led in prayer. Music
was furnished by Bodge's band and Bux-
toms Quartette. Many of the Post went
to Gorham village Monday evening to
listen to the Memorial address.
