People That Are There-The Conyen-
the Largest Ever Held.
Especial to the PRESS. J

Dexter, June AT 10 O'Clock this
morning, President M. B. Coolidge of Port
land called to order one OF the largest
conventions ever held by the Universalist
church of Maine, and this, 9th gather
ing of the delegates bids fair in the
amount and value of the work to be
performed to be one of the most import
ant.
The attendance is very large, among the
delegates being the following clergymen
W. H. Gould, Dexter; W. w. Hooper, Deer
ing; H. R. Rose, Auburn; W.F. Small,
North Anson; f. E. Wheeler, Foxcroft
+. L. Payson, Lisbon Falls ;Thos. Stratton

Angel, Norway; WE. Gaskin, Vinalhav-
en-; 7. B. Payne, Dixfeld.
Visiting clergymen present are: Rev.
Ill Demarest Manchester, NH, Rev.
Edward Smiley, Newfelds, NH.
After the convention had been called to
order, prayer was offered by the Rev. E.
r. Pember of Bangor, and then the Rev.
Mr.. Gould, pastor of the church here,
where the convention is held, spoke few
cordial and appropriate words of well
com. Singularly fitting is the name given
to the committee of Dexter ladies and
gentlemen whose duty it is to open the
doors of Dexter homes where cordial
greetings await them. These ladies and
gentlemen are called the hospitality
committee and as Mr.. Gould reminded
his hearers, they are known by the blue
badges they wear
President Coolidge responded to Mr.
Gould's remarks, expressing the appre-
citation of the convention for the hearty
welcome and calling attention to the
fact that it is 10 years since the conven-
tion met here before, almost time enough
for a new generation to become old
enough to take interest in the proceed
ings of the convention.

Mr.. A. H. Woodcock, Mr.. T. f. Lamb.
Then DR.. G. L. Demarest of Manchester
n. H. secretary of the general convention,
was presented and delivered an eloquent
address, impressing upon his hearers
that each individual Universalist is the
unit Of the. church, not the parish. The
strength of the church therefore, depends
upon the strength of the individual Uni
versalist. Or. Demarest is an elderly
man, rather thick set, with smooth shay
en- face, at once strong and kindly, and
hair fast becoming snow white, stood
before the platform and talked in aFman-
ner, the quiet earnesJness of which made
his words additionally eloquent, and held
the attention of his hearers so closely
that his voice was the only sound that
broke the stiffness. DR.. Demarest caused a
smile when he referred to the people of
Maine as 'Maine-iacs. "
The forenoon sermon was preached by
Rev. Thomas Stratton of Rockland.

REPORT OF THE EXECUTIVE COM
MITTEE,

The executive committee report that
they have aided parishes financially at
Madison, Kingfeld, West New Portland,
North Anson, North New Portland,
Rumford Falls and Stockton. The as
sistance given to Kingfeld and New
Portland was for the purpose of main
tanning the circuit on which Rev. o. f.
Atwood labors and where he consents to
remain another year. A new church at
kingfield is almost certainty. The
money given to North Anson and North
New Portland makes it possible to have
the Rev. W. F. Small preach in this circuit
Caribou has been made the centre of the
work of the state missionary this year.
Rev. Stanford Mitchell, our noted singing
evangelist, has now accepted a call to the
church in that place. He has been
preaching there for six month now and
fills the church at every service The

sUNDAr siNaAE TAX MEETINGS.
Tho Opinion OF city solicitor Hartman
Respecting Them,


City Solicitor Hartman delivered the
the Board Of Police Commissioners, on
Monday, the following opinion respect
ing Sunday Single Tax meetings.
In reply 20 your question as TO the
use of the Opera House next Sunday
by the Single Takers for the discus
| sion of the doctrine of their party,
would respectfully say that, call it by
what term one may, the discussion OF
their theories is discussion Of politics
pure and simple, or savors of ii 10 such
an extent as practically to amount to
the same thing; and, in our opinion,
does not come within any exceptions
made by the law, which are solely
those of charity and necessity. The
meeting would, therefore, be politi-
cal meeting. They discuss the subject
of taxation and coniine themselves to
land. A Democratic or Republican
meeting would discuss tho subject of
tariff ttaxation) and confine itself to
| personal property. The principle in
both cases is practically the same, and
each OF the parties has for its sole OBJ
| ject the attempt to solve the question
rs to how the affairs Of the government
should be administered.
=" A meeting of this nature, we be-
lieve, would be proclamation Of the Sab
bath. 1t is neither moral nor religious
but worldly and secular in the full
sense Of the word. The moment, there
fore, that the meeting drifts into one of
a political nature or actions or demon
STATIONS Of a boisterous OF disorderly
character are made or INDUCED in,
that moment such a meeting becomes
an unlawful meeting and renders those
who partake in it amenable to the law.
Neither the constitution of the
United States, nor the constitution and
laws of our State, ever contemplated
the use of the Sabbath for the discus
sion of public and political affairs any
more than it did for the transact N Of
private business; but intended III It the
day should be devoted solely and exclu-
sively to rest and to religious worship.
The opinion was handed to Chief OF
Police Dolan with instructions to abide

Secretary OF State j. Harvey White
man Mas been engaged in distributing
the printed copies of the laws passed
by the last session Of the Legislature.
Tho work was long delayed, but has
finally been accomplished
An examination of the printed vol
ume furnishes ample extenuation for
the delay ON the part of Secretary
Whiteman in issuing the last volume
of Delaware laws. On page 222 he prints
the following notice; z
Appendix AT the adjournment of
the General Assembly the following
acts were not duly enrolled and signed
| by the Speakers of the respective
branches, but were delivered to the
Secretary of State incomplete in these
particulars. Upon a careful examina-
tion of the original bills aud the on.
dorsements Of the respective clerks
thereon, and also of the journals of the
Senate and House of Representatives
except in cases otherwise notedl, it
appears that all acts published in this
appendix passed both branches of the
General Assembly. They are herein
published from the original bills.
Then follow so pages of bills of this
character. Ii is held that bill be-
comes Il law as soon as il has passed
both houses of the General Assembly,
but the signing Of enrolled copies by
the Speaker of each branch has been
deemed wise and proper course, as a
certiflcation of the passage of the bills.
The extraordinary circumstances at
tending the issue Of the laws Of the
last session are unparalleled in this
State. The omission of the Speakers
to attach their signatures to so many
laws that were duly enacted-a proceed
ure really of much Importance as a
matter Of record-shows how complete
was the decentralization that prevailed
in the last Legislature by reason of
the disgracefu contest of the Republi
can factions over the United States
Senatorship. II is an event that should
stand forth as warning to the people
of Delaware to never send another
Republican Legislature to Dover.
When the difficulties with which he
was confronted are considered, ii will
be acknowledged that Secretary Of
State Whiteman is entitled to great
credit for his careful, conscientious
and reasonably prompt work in issuing
the printed volumes of the laws of the
last session.
