On account of the very severe weather,
the past ors and delegates from he invited
churches failed to appear. The First
church of Deer Isle was represented by
pastor and delegate. Rev. Mr.. Boothby,
OF Thomastou, class mate OF the candi-
date, arrived on the preceding evening.
Quite number OF the citizens gathered
at the church, and at the appointed hour
Rev. J. S. Richards, of Deer Isle, called to
order and read the letter missive, and
was then chosen moderator. Mr.. Boothby
was chosen clerk Of the meeting. After
prayer, the roll of invited churches being
called and SO few responding, there was
not thing to be done but to adjourn with
out day.
Rev. Mr.. Boothby remaining in town
over night, it wss thought best to APP
point an evening meeting in which he
was to preach to the people.
No time was set for calling another
council, but it was thought best by some
to postpone the ordination until the
meeting OF the Hancock conference with
this church. next May or June. S.
