BELFAST RELIGIoUsLY.
To outward appearance Belfast stands
better religiously at the close Of the year
than at the beginning. Two churches,
the Baptist and Universalist, began the
year without pastors. The close 1lnds

The most advance has been made by the
Catholics. For years this society had
been an appendage to the church at Win
terport, where the priest is located. Meet
ings were held the last Sunday in each
month in the rooms over the High school
building. Mr.. William S. Brannagan, a
public spirited citizen of the Catholic faith,
gave lot and erected on Court street a
handsome church, which was publicly ded-
icated Thanksgiving Day, Nov. 26, by
Bishop Healey, of Portland, several priests
assisting The Church is 40 by 10 feet,
with spire that extends above all others
in the city, The Catholic society has in
creased and with their handsome church
expect at no distant day to have a settled
pastor The church editicc cost about
$1,000.
The Baptist church settled as pastor MI.
John F. 'rilton, of Sidney, a graduate of
