To the Editor of tho Kennebec Journal:
Sir--As Maine clergyman desire to
protest against the statements published
in your press dispatches yesterday, cor
rectly entitled "a Foul Slander. To give
the impression of the religious condition
of Maine which the speakers at the Evan
gelistio Association evidently did, at their
meeting in Park street church, Boston, Is
unjust and un-Christian What does

ordination for deacon, she would confer
great favor by naming that branch.
am truly sorry for the young men.
They evidently got into bad company.
tt seems pity that, as they come into
the State to do religious work, they did
not seek to meet and fellowship with re-
ligious people, as associates in their
work. l have done religious work OF va
rious kinds in this State for seven years.
and have never been in place yet l
care not how small, where there were not
men and women in plenty, who could
teach me the alphabet of Christian expert

class of people in Maine is not looking 1or
them. Again, a man who would boast
of having eludcd a board IF health In the
proper performance of its duties, and
thereby endangering the health OF every
child in the community needs considerable
more religion, and the addition of a large
supply of common sense. The religious
condition of Maine is similar to that o.
any large State into many sections OF
which a railroad does not pcnetrate-no
better, no worse. There Is not leading
denomination in our State that is not do
ing effective missionary work within our
borders. 1t is high time that these state
ments made in Boston pulpits. about the
dreadful spiritual condition OF Maine,

that such things should have been SAID
