for the families that have moved out to
Dsering ana Westbrook.

MAINE STATE EPwoRTH LEAGUE

We are informed by Mr.. L. S. Robin
son Of Rockland, president of the State
Epworth League, that the state conven-
ton has been cancelled for this year. 1t
was to have been held in September at
Northport Camp ground and the pro-
gramme and arrangements were nearly
completed.
Several ministerial associations and
many members have asked to have it can
celled so as to make greater success of
the first general conference district con-
vention which is to be held at Bangor,
July SO. The first district includes all
the New England states, and a large pro-
portion of Maine Epworthians wish to at
tend it. Doubtless more will attend it
with the state convention cancelled for
the year. The programme of the first dis
trict convention is magnificent one, and
includes many topics Of interest to youn g
Methodists. Many of the eminent leaders
in the denomination will take part and
a very large gathering is expected.

present. Mr.. Heating has received let
ter from the Canadian authorities an

fourth at some suitable point to be
designated by the Portland city govern

decorate their stores deliberately with the
colors of the tartan plaids worn by the

tanned as yet but will be learned by cor
respondence with the officers of the regi-
ment. The battalion will take part in the
parade in the for enoon, the proposed drill
in the afternoon being additional. The
Royal Scots will probably quarter at the
| Armory where cots will be provided and
their meals furnished in the basement by
a caterer. The officers will quarter at the
hotels.
1t is expected to have the exercises re-
lating to the Grand Trunk on the Eastern
promenade. Mayor Randall will intro
dune the orator of the day, probably Hon.
Charles F. Libby, and MIR. Hays of the
Grand Trunk will probably respond
