Interesting Addresses Yesterday-Rev.
Smith Baker Chosen President.

The annual convention OF the Maine
State Sunday School Association hezan
yesterday afternoon at the Chestnut
street Methodist church, and will con-
tinue for two days. The annual conven-
lions of this association always beings
out very large attendance and the meet
ing this year promises to break all former
records. Up to six O'Clock last evening
over three hundred delegates had been
assigned to places of entertainment, and
a great many more had registered who
did not apply to the entertainment COM
mites for accommodations.
These delegates come to Portland from
all parts of Maine. A large proportion Ct
them are women and there will be a
great many olsrRymen OF all denomina-
tions present. The arrangements for the
entertainment of these delegates were
we'll made and the various committees
did their work with very little Trouble.
Hon. W. j. Knowlton and K. S. Everett
had charge of the assignment to places
OF entertainment, and from twelvs until
six these gentleme en- were constantly an
swering questions and providing accom-
modations for those who wished them.
The early part of the afternoon was de-
voted to s;the quiet half day" which was
conducted by the Rev. Thomas H. Stacy
Of Saco. The big church was well filled
during these services, the audiences
changing several times during the after
noon when the doors were opened. A
great many of the delegates offered prayer
and spoke in these services and the sing
ing, conducted by the Rev. Mr.. Stacy,
was exceptionally fine.
At the conclusion or the services of the
early afternoon the Rev. AQuila Lucas
of Sussex, New Brunswick, general sec
Rotary of the New Brunswick S. S. asso-
citation, delivered brief address ON the
"Joy of our SERVICE" in which he told of
the great work which the Sunday school
is doing in New Brunswick and eIss-
where in the Cansdas He referred TO the
close ties which bin1 together New
Brunsw wick and the state of Maine. With
only narrow river to divide them with
no guns. seutinels or other warlike bar
riers between the two sections the Chris
tian workers mingle with one anotnsr
and carry on the work in Christ's service.
Over here In Maine they love one flag,
over in New Brunswick the Sunday
school workers love another But In their
labors they are Under single banner.
Rev. Mr.. Lucas's words were received
with much enthusiasm and at the conclu-
sion of his address the applause was long
continued.
The president of the association, Rev.
j. M. Frost of Bangor then announced
the following committees OF the oonven-
ton: Committee on credentials, Rev.
Ebenezer Bean. Mr.. a. S. Russell, W. ].

Prof. Hsmill sat before the convention
the value of a State Sunday school as
ISOLATION, and the methods and results
the great work as illustrated by the
Maine association of Sunday school work
ers. More than all other agencies COM
bined, the terdenominational association
the many county and township oonnec-
tions and organizations were unifying
the church in binding the many d.
visions togetf er In aggressive Christian
labor for the saving Of the hosts of hoys
and girls Of the state by setting before
them knowledge OF Gods word and
b. bringing them under religious ex-
ample and training. This tendency of the
denomination in doctrine ard polity was
centrifugal rather than centripetal and
there was needed this point Of contact
not only as a matter of enhancing bet
ter sentiment Of Christian fellowship. but
because the several denominations Ey
working together along lines and meth
OILS common to all and vital to all, would
th -eby do far greater work for ths
D4ndsy schools of the State than 1t was
pc ssihle for the denominations to do sew
orally for themselves There was a wide
field in the state unoocupied except by
the united workers OF the churches, and
thers was economy OF time and effort in
the alignment of all evangelical forces
to meet the imminent and urgent needs
of the tens OF thousands of children and
youth who, without an extraordinary
movement OF all the Christian workers in
q compact and aggressive organization,
would fail TO receive tine religious in
struction nesdsd to equip them for the
citizenship of a great and growing COM

matter of vital Importance TO consider
and to discover such unreading territory,
and to stimulate the churches and the
volunteer workers in all parts of the state
to organize the neglected masses into
Sunday schools, and teach them from the
Bible how to grow up into a righteous
and useful citizenship. Just how many
such schools the association has inspired,
directly or Indirectly, In the years of its
history. no one could say. 1t would be
as easy to count the benefits Of the sun
shine or the pure air. But it was enough
to say that this was the primary object
of state association, aud as such 1t had
proven indeed mighty power. The
association had not only planted new
better schools. 1t had stimulated the

its conventions the best ms thods, had

corps of lay workers. had called them in

them into unions for superintendents,
for primary and other work, ami had
radically advanced the ancient ideas Of

l4eIe Was great suspicion shown by de-
ontnatiou against denomination. AT
that time people who believed In different
doctrines never could be very good
friends. Sunday school superintennsnts
of different denominations never thought
OF extending to one another the right
hand Of fellowship. But those days have
passed and 1t Is not thought strange to-
day that Christians of different branch
IS of the church should labor hand In
hand for the saving of the world.
81 do not loss sight Of the fact that
this was brought about by other means
than the Sunday school association. The
British and Foreign Bible society did its
part towards bringing unity In the
church. but the Sunday school association
has done the most In this work.
The association has helped the preach.
or. 1t has made them teachers of the
Bible where before they were not. 1t has
called attention to the intellectual part
of the Bible. There Is no one church
which contains all OF Gods blessings.
By association the denominations will
gather all the best things Of all denomi-
nations and so improve the work In saw
ing the world.
