Rev. DIR. q. w. Field breaches a Vigorous
and Eloquent Sermon to His Old Parish
toner's
All who attended the services at the Cen
tral church on Sunday morning were de-
llghted 10 see Rev. DR.. Field in his former
place. His text was Zephanah 2 3, and the
Leading thought was Gods intimate relation
and dealings with men. Not a God afar but
as near as ourselves and loving more than
we love ourselves or friends, and Interested
in all our welfare.
He showed how love was manifested in
Gods discipline, and chastenings. that il
was the meek who trusted in God who
should inherit the good gifts that those
who sought happiness an end would miss
it, while those who sought character would
surely find happiness.
1t was rich treat to be present and hear
| such a sermon from such a man A hush
rested upon the audience and with intent and
eager faces the gracious words and truths
were taken in.
The fullest power was given to his words
because his life and spirit every dav ex.
emplify the gospel in gentle and Christ-lik 9
| character. Never taking up reproach
against any one but living to bless and help
every one.
| The doctor seems to have lost none of his
old time vigor, but preached with the same
| strength and power of twenty five wears
! ago. AS some listened to the PRAYER thew
wished stenographer might have taken il
that it might be read for comfort and heir
in future days.
AS was well said by church attendant
He seems to see truth with prophet,
vision and declare it with an apostles power
| He has the fire and zeal and power Of Eliial
united with the gentleness ard persuasive
ness Of the disciple John.
1t was interesting to note the comments
as the people were on their way home

SeasonabIe Suggestions.

Please, Messrs. Legislators, while you
are tinkering up the Maine laws this win
ter, fix up a good strong one to fit the
case of the fellows who leave medlcated
lozengers and sugar coated pills on our
doorsteps as flee samples, to be eaten in
unknown quantities and with doubtful
results by the first children who find
them. This is dangerous nuisance and
deserves attention. Maine Coast Cot
tager.
Why wouldn't it be well for the Maine
legislature to follow in the footsteps of
other States and make the appropriations
for departments, cover postage, express
age, printing and packing? In this way
each department would know how much
was available and the State would know
how much was to be expended. Maine

am not here this evening to establish
the grounds of the Christian faith; nor am
I here to deliver to you lecture on the
evidences of Christianity. The founda
lions of the Christian religion are so
broad and founded so deep in the re-
searches of scholarship that do not for
moment pretend to the competence to
properly discuss them; nor would there
be time to give more than a hint of the i'm
pregnable position of the Christian reli-
gion in the foundations of reason.
But as | am a plain business man, and
IN that sense at least man of the world,
address you simply as layman, claim

fact but the authority of reason, to
which you all appeal, and not attempting
even to appeal to the authority of the

In BRIEF. The American Missionary AS
so citation has issued an appeal to the Con
gregatiohal churches OF the United States
to observe Feb. z as Lncoln's memorial
Sunday, which occurs on the anniversary
of President Lincoln's birthday. Rev
George G. Lorimer, d. D., pastor of the
fremont Temple, Boston, Mass, is under
engagement to supply the pulpit of Re
gents Park Baptist church, London, Eng
land, during July and August again this
summer, his own pulpit being supplied by
DR., p. S. Henson, pastor of the First
Baptist church, Chicago. .....Pope Leo,
according to the Rome correspondent OF
the London Daily Chronicle, contemplates
a universal jubilee in 1900, to mark the
opening of the Goth century. The amount
of material which enters into the con
struction of ship will surprise the aver
age person. For example, the five maSted
schooner Nathaniel L. Palmer, recently
built at Bath. required 80 tons Of heavy
oak timber, 300 tons of iron ana S75, 600
feet of hard pine..... On the 18th ballot
taken Jan. 18th the Montana Legislature
elected William Clarke, Democrat, of
Butte, L. S. Senator, to succeed Hon,
Lee Mantle. The vote was "a for Clarke;
for Conrad, 27; for Marshall, 4; scatter
ing, 1. Eleven Republicans voted for
Clarke. American shipping interests in
the Hawaiian islands have been largely
increased since annexation. There are
now loading for the islands at San Fran
cisco 80 vessels. Thirty five fly the
American flag; five are British; eight
Norwegian, and two German.
