many acquaintance and friends.
Mr.. Paul has also many friends in this

ness men. At present the groom is

Gospel Mission.

The friends of the Gospel Mission will
be interested to know something of what
has been done by it during the past year.
Previous to year ago Misses Nash and
Whittier had been doing missionary
work in private homes for many months
and many who knew of this work felt
that an opportunity should be given
them of enlarging their work. A
Gospel Mission Association was accord
ngly formed and A. f. Bisson's hall on
Water st. was leased for one year to be
used as a mission hall. The year ex-
pired on July lst. The Association
closes the year with bills all paid. Re-
ports of the work done during the year
are most gratifying. There have been
held 1873 regular gospel services with a
total attendance of 5,777 persons, at an
average attendance of 81. There have
been 3S sessions of Sabbath school with
an average of II. Open air meetings
have been held 10 times on Sunday after
moons and Saturday evenings.
During the latter part of the year 6
temperance meetings have been held,
addressed by prominent citizens of the
town, with an average of 80 in attend
ance. Three meetings have been held at
the jail. cottage meetings, social
gatherings and or sessions of a sew
ing school. A Christmas entertainment
was given and 100 presents distributed
from the tree. Articles of clothing to
the number of 100 have been given to
needy ones and many books, papers, etc.
have been distributed.
Misses Nash and Whittier have made
4l0 visits and calls among the people in
their field of work. And as a result of
all this Christian work Al have express
ed their purpose to live Christian lives.
Surely this Is most gratifying to all
friends of the Mission. During the year
the missionaries have worked without
any compensation. 1t has been a service
Of love, and 1t Is their purpose now to
resume the kind Of work they were do
ing In private homes previous to taking
up the work in the hall.
There will be one more meeting of the
directors of the association when all
business of the association will be finish
ed.
