The Late Rev. Alex. X. PIumer.

Some weeks ago there appeared in THE
AMERICAN under the Bass Harbor items
a brief reference to the late Rev. Alex
ander K. Plumer, who died at DeLand
Florida, March I, 1898.
As Mr.. Plumer was well-known all over
the western half of Mt. Desert Island
from 1871 to 1880, a more extended notice
will doubtless be of interest to those who
knew him in the early days.
Mr.. Plumer was born at South Berwick
June %, 1927, and educated at Berwick
academy, Dartmouth college (class of
1851, and Princeton theological seminary.
He was ordained to the ministry in De-
cember, 1854, and soon after his ordina-
ton went to Turkey as a missionary of
the American board of foreign missions.
After spending some months in Con-
stantinople studying the Armenian Ian
guage. he went among the Armenians and
labored at Sivas, Tocat and Trebizond
His wife's health failing, he was obliged
to give up foreign missionary work, and
after travelling for some time in Egypt,
England and Scotland, Mr.. and Mrs
Plumer returned to their native land after
an absence of four and one half years,
and took up home missionary work in
Maine, laboring at Industry, Arson and
otHtl IidtSS ulilli lcil' " iltI hS liioNSu W
fremont, where his wife died in January,
1872, leaving one daughter, now Mrs.
Catherine Bement, of Dorchester.
In 1874 he was married to Miss Lucy A.
Gibbs, of Berwick, a graduate of Mt.
Holyoke, class of 1859 who survives him,
and who is now living in DeLand. He
preached at fremont and Mt. Desert until
$780, when he went to Massachusetts, be-
ing first located at Gill, afterwards at
Phillipston, and later at New Salem.
Mr.. Plumer's last pastorate was CRANKY,
VT, but his health failing, he resigned and
moved to fremont, where he built house
on lovely spot commanding a magniti-
cent view of sea and land. and after forty
years of faithful work settled down to en-
JOY his declining years among his former
beloved people, only preaching OCCASION
ally as bis health would permit, and
spending the winters in Florida, where he
died.
lie was inferred at DeLand, to remain
until Novem Der, when he will be taken tG
his native State and buried in the lot
which he had prepared in the cemetery at
South Berwick, where his kindred lie.
A quiet. unassuming man of high cul'
F., ture and refinement, ever genial and help
full sincere and thorough in anything ht
undertook, Mr.. Pumer was remarkably
successful wherever he preached in arous'
ing and deepening interest in religious
matters, and drawing many into the
church.

following. 1t ran as follows:
"You must not so into debt. AvCld
debt ne vol, would the 1evil Make IT
n Fundamental rule-no debt: cash or
nothing.
MAKE few promises. Religiously op
serve even the smallest promise. a
man who means to keep his promises
cannot afford to make many.
BE scrnpulously careful i'll all state
ments. Accuracy and perfect franknesS
no gupsswork Either nothing or ac-
curate truth.
when working for others sink your
self out of sight, seek their Interest.
Make yourself necessary to those WHO
employ you, by industry. fidelity ana
scruptlous integrity. Selhshness Is
fatal. ~
Hold yourself responsible for II
higher standard than anybody else eN-
poets of you. Keep your personal
standard high. Never excuse yOurseit

hard master to yourself, but lcnfent to
everybody else.
Concentrate your forces on your
own proper business: do not turn OH.
Be constant, steadfast, persevering.
THE art Of making ones fortune is
to spend nothing: in this country any
intelligent and Industrious young man
may become rich if he stops all leaks
and is not i'll % hurry Do not make
haste; be patient.
do not speculate or gamble. You
go to a land where everybody is eN-
cited and strives to make money, sud
denly, largely and without working for
it. They blow soap-bUbbles. Steady.
patient industry is both the surest and
safest way. Greediness and haste are
two devils that destroy thousands every
year.
Il beseech you to correct one fault

Of any man. no matter what the facts

makes enemies to yourself, and is
wicked.
IF by integrity, industry and we'll
earned success you deserve well of your
fellow-citizens. they may in years to
come ask you to accept honors. Do not
seek them. do not receive them while
you are young-weit; but when You are
established you may make your father

fathers and yorr mothers God, Be
cause YOU will be largely deprived of

do not despise small churches and hum
