church was dedicated. The society's
financial affairs were much mixed, the
dobt amounting to the entire cost of the
church. They raised $4,000 toward pay
ing the debt, but 1t was all swallowed
up paying 10 per cent interest.
Mr.. Pottle said he had always kept up
his interest in the church and took great
pleasure in being with the church and in
oongratulating them On their prosperity.
A duet by Misses Cobb and 5ohu-
macker was next rendered very delight
fully.
In 1879 Rev. G. P. Pittblado became
pastor and served three years. He was
next introduced by Mr.. Lindsay. He
said that in 1872 he was on his way from
the Provinces to Brooklyn, and stopped
over here and preached. He expected
then to be settled over church in the
Provinces which was good enough for
him and for anyone, in fact. daughter. J
But he had call to come here. and &C.
cepted ii on Mrs. Pittblado's advice.
HIS recalled how the old church looked
with the plasuering off the walls, and the
blue ceiling with stars in it. They
changed that, repainting the church at a
COST of $500, which they paid.
They had very large revival, one of
the largest he had ever experienced. A
very sad experience of his life here was
the loss of his little daughter, whom they
buried without any funeral, because be
could not bear to have any one make re-
marks on the occasion, in the cemetery.
And every time he came here he visited
that grave. and said in his heart, "Not
dropped in the grave here, but dropped
In the heart of God"
Or. Pittblado said he never was in a
place no liked as we'll as here. although
he was sent to nice place with large
salary.
He had been moving West all the time,
and If he lived would surely reach Cali
fornia. daughter. He had not had the
best charges always. H is ambition and
bis ability were too far apart. 1t waf
hard to have ones ambition way uE
yonder and his ability way down there,
and no nimbleness in the feet of the
ability to climb up to the ambition.
(I.uughter.)
But he had more religion than he used
to. He was always running his head ur
against wall In theology, but his heart
saw better than his head.
Rev. g. W. Rradlee. who succseded DR..
Pittblado, was next introduced. He said
he was boy when he came to the
church. he had the misfortune to follow
an eloquent man, and the
pulpit ministrations were rather feeble,
he feared. But there was prosperity in
the church and he felt that there was
some good done.
In calling she list of pastors Mr.. Lind
say read TINT of A. S. Ladd, "who wal
prohibition candidate for governor and
failed of election" (laughterl but made
80 many good speeches that he felt
obliged to rest and could not be present. y

DR.. Mcdonald then told how he came
to the church after the death Of the wife
of his youth. His health WAS feeble and
before many months he had to take q
leave of absence and shortly after to re-
sign. Ultimately he had to leave the
state and go to the Northwest.
DR.. Mcdonald congratulated the church
The Portland daily press. [volume] (Portland, Me.) 1862-1921, 1896-09-22

upon the position which it held. The
growth Of Munjoy hill had been surpris-
ing since the days when he knew it. A
great field was about the church, and if
1t was responsive to the spirit Of God,
great success would attend it. God grant
that this might be such church.
In conclusion DR.. Mcdonald said that
his days were about over, and he soon
hoped to go to Heaven, carried there BIZ
