Newcastle. Me. March 27.-(SpeciaD.
The announcement that Bishop cod
man Of the Maine Episcopal diocese
would speak at st. Andrews church in
this village brought to the serVicem many
members of the ConGregationalst,
Methodist ana Baptist churches.
1t is apparent that Bishop C2dman's
late controversy with the newspapers
and recent alleged uttcrances regard
ing the intellectual plant Of the State
to which he has been sent, have excited
great deal Of curiosity to hear what
he has to say from the pulpit.
1t may perhaps be stated that to say
the least. the remarks made by tht
bishop have furnished food for a vast
amount Of discussion in this place
and the nature of them created no lit
tie astonishment. After the bishop :
earnest denial. a few days ago, that
the newspaper talk attributed To him
in the RoXbury instance was correct.
listeners here perhaps entertained the
idea that he would remove the impress
sion Of antagpnsm to Maine institu-
tions by telling his audience how mucn
they knew and how much superior they
are to all other pers MS on earth.
But evidently the bishop is not q flat
terer-not man Who deals in Cajol-
cries The bishop graciouyly admitted
in the course of his remarks that the
services Of the other churches Were"
sometimes helpful. but ne especially
extolled the prayer book Of the Epsc"-
pal church as a means of education
and grace.
Then greatly to the surprise Of those
who listened. he added that in the
other churches it Will Re found that
extemporane Gus preaching and prayer
service is often coarse and vulgar.
And yet it seems that the bishop is
receiving encnuraEement from the
other creeds. for he stated in his ad-
dress that a Congregational clergyman
had said that he was glad to have him.
the bishop come to Maine. as it was
necessary to have some one to defend
the faith.
"It is high time" said the bishop,
that tho mother church sent some one
t. Maine t. tell tho people how to wor-
ship.
"IIundreds Of children in Maine"
said ho. have never heard the com
mandmcnts."
Most interesting. however. was his
reference to the mere man made
laws of the State Of Maine against
drinking, dancing and gaming. and 70
the disObedencc Of the God-madc laws
against adultery. etc.
Maine has sent out many able men,
said he, but sh" will not do 50 in an
other generation"
