have gone forward.
A crisis came. The churchand village
had done their part, but the money from
outside had not materializtd. Some.
thing must DO done. It wouldnot answer
to leave the building unfinished, and
this involved an expense which they did
not feel justified in contracting for.

conclusion that IL has rarely bsen the
fortune Of Cum herland conference to
help so worthy and SO hopsfulsan enter

church has gone forward, relying ON the
good faith of the church of the confer

purposes and tbs work on the nsv build

by completing it's exterior at once.
1t was then voted to secure at once
from the churches Of the conference
$500, and measures were put on foot
to accomplish this object.
AS this sum of money must be pledged

spirited Congregationalists rare oppor-

movement which has not been para lleled
In this vicinity for many year and will

which included all the leading churches

For many years the Congregationalists
have been convinced that owing to the
situation OF the old North church In
Cape Elizabeth, the needs Of the village
of South Portland were not being met in
church matters.
This growing suburb of Portland also
came to feel that there would be ample
room for Oongreg ational church. To
test the matter few meetings were held
some three years ago and IL was quickly
(ascertadnel that there was decided de-
mand Tor the proposed movement
There being Methodist church on the
ground the Congregational people were
unwilling to enter the place without
their consent and the approval of the
MISREPRESENTATION commission. 40
cordingly the commission convened, the
whole matter was thoroughly canvassed
and the decision was reached that the
future Of this growing suburb justified
the gathering together of the Congrega-
tional element, and from that day to this
there has been the best Of feeling between
the two cooperating denominations.
Rev. g. e. Andrews, an able m mister,
became the leader Of the movement, COM
bining this field with tho church at Nor
rill's CORNER, DesrinR. Large congrega-
tions gathered Gods spirit was poured
out. RemaIka conversions took place,
and the little church of 15, organized
By council, was increased three told by
the joyful additions Of last Easter.
All this while the church had been
worshipping in hall. They soon found
themselves unable to accommodate all
who wished to attend the services. Sun
day after Sunday people were turned
away from the doors. Like good Con-
gregationalists they CALLED council, ask
ing them: "What shall we dor" The
council, after careful confederation adj
vised them to build and assured them
that the churches of Cumberland Confer
encs would sustain them in the move

Speaking of campaign experiences
the story is told on Judge Steve o.
borne that while before election he
went out into the Russian neighbOr-
hood in Ellis county with Jim Reeder
to make a speech. The house was full
of emigrants from the neighborhood
of the Volga, and>as the judge warm
ed on financial questions and the beau
ties of the tariff system he observed
that the audience was apparently CIV
ing the strictest attention. The evil
dent interest acted as an inspiration
on the speaker, and he buckled down
to his work with unusual zeal and
earnestness. After he had closed and
was wiping the perspiration from his
brow with satisfactory consciousness
of duty well performed, he asked
Jim Reeder in whisper if he had
ever in his life seen SO attentive an
audience. Eyes, I noticed they seemed
to be keeping still" said Jim, siand l

EDITORIAL COMMENT.

We think there might be some i'm
provement made in the Australian
ballot law of this state. There ought
to be a provision whereby anyone
wishing to vote d straight ticket could
do so by making cross in a single
square at the top of the column con-
tanning the names of the candidates
to be voted for. This would be easier
for the voter than the present method
of marking in the square at the left
of each candidate in column. 1t
would also be much easier to count
the vote if thus cast. We believe an
other good change in the interests of
honesty and principle would be pro-
vision prohibiting the name of can
didate appearing on more than one
ticket. The Kansas ticket this year
presented a queer spectacle in that it
had one man running on two or three
tickets at the same time. If there is
sufficient difference in the principles
of the parties to entitle them to sep
arate columns on the ticket. a man
must have a very elastic conscience
who can honestly make oath that he
by both parties and at the same time
belong to one party or the other par
ty or both parties. For instance, the
Rev. Jeremiah Botkin, Methodist
preacher, an avowed prohibitiOnist,
ran on the same ticket with Leedy, a
profane, lrreverent man, who is Op-
posed to prohibition. Both men can
not be true to the parties which they
assume to represent. Fusion is wrong
whether it be of Democrats and Pop
ulists in Kansas or PopuliStS and Re
publicans in Texas. If a temporary
advantage is gained it is at the ex-
pense of party and principle. 1t will
not pay in the long run. The first
change mentioned can be made with
out detriment to any party. AS a
majority of the members of the next
legislature owe their election to flu
sion, it will not be expected that they
will legislate against any fusion
schemes.

THE NEW STATE OFFICERS.
