There is something in the way of Il
stir in the State in preparation for
Names "Old Home Week. Col. F. +.
Boothby, president of the board of trade
of Portland, has issued circular calling
attention to the proposed celebration
and advising the New Hampshire plan
of keeping open house to all visitors
during the week. Portland proposes to
extend grand welcome to the visitors
entering the State upon some day when
the most of them will be likely to be
passing through that city, with ger =
eral meeting attended by delegates from
the Maine towns and cities. It is SUI =
gested that other towns and cities take
action by formation of associations or
otherwise to extend warm welcome to
these visitors. Little has been done,
thus far, but Col. Boothby has given the
cause start and others will doubtless
follow in good time. II would be a good
thing for Skowhegan to move in this
direction, either through the board of
trade or otherwise To make necessary
arrangements to properly observe the
occasion and show proper attention to
our visitors, that week. Who will be
the first to move in that direction?

Bishop Goldman preached in Newcastle.
Sunday last, and in view of the publicity
that had been given to remarks attrib-
uted To him in Massachusetts, a decided
interest was taken in his sermon at that
place. In the course of his sermon he
is reported to have said: ut is high
time that the Mother Church sent some
one to Maine to tell them how to v or
ship" "Maine has sent out many able
men but she will not do SO ia another
generation" The Bishop would do well
to avoid the attempt to regulate the
affairs Of the people of Maine, or to fix
their status, intellectually or ethical!y.
His attempts in this direction, thus far,
has been very unfortunate, judging from
newspaper reports thereof. Rev. Charles
f. Lee, rector of St. Andrews Church at
Newcastle, denies that Bishop Goldman
made the first remark quoted above, and
states that the second was said in con-
nection that materially changed the
meaning. The Rector says: "What ne
said was that if the sins against NOR
atty, covered by the Seventh Command
ment, continued to abound and increase,
Maine would not continue to send able
men to represent her at Washington"

Last Night.

The meeting of the Methodist preach
ers of the Raleigh district was held
yesterday morning at Edenton Street
Methodist church; Rev. DR.. j. L. Gibbs,
presiding elder. in the chair. There was
Il full and interesting discussion upon
the needs of the church, and a special
consideration of the best plan to adopt
for securing a large contribution to the
Twentieth Century Educational Fund.
Southern Methodism has undertaken to
raise $1,500.000 this year, and the Raj
eigh District MethOdists are working
to raise their share. DR.. Gibbs and
the pastors are getting ready for an
active campaign.
Other matters came up for consldera-
ton. and plans were matured for united
revival efforts during the year on all
the charges.
At night, Rev. Alpheus McCullen de-
livered an address on Missions 1t
was fine effort, along new lines for
a missionary address, and at its conclu-
sion Mr.. McCullen was thanked for
his interesting and original presentation
of the greatest and oldest theme that
mankind has discussed.
The gathering was full of interest and
will result in good.

WILL BE RAISED.
All Ready $500 of the $4,000 Has
Been Secured.

The Baptists have resolved to
bend every energy toward raising
$50, 900 this year to pay the debt due
on the Baptist University. They will
succeed.
Our special from Scotland Neck shows
how the Baptist congregation in that
good town gave $1,075 on Sunday, $500
of the amount being given by that gen
erous contributor, Mr.. Noah Biggs.
Mr. Struggled is great worker and has
raised most of the money for the Female
University. This weeks Biblical Re-
corder tells of other contributions as fol
lows:
The heartiness of the begin
nings of the effort to raise $4,000 TO
pay this year the debt upon our Baptist
Female University is more than encour-
aging; it is inspiring. At Raleigh, in
addition to the large amounts already
given about $1,000 has been subscribed
within the last ten days. AT Wake For
est more than 500 was quickly contri-
buted in cash, and about 5000 promised
to be paid within the year.

AN ADDRESS ON MISSIONS.
Close of the Twentieth Century
Movement"

The Methodist mass meeting, held here
this week for the purpose of discussing
the twentieth Century Movement y
came to a close last might with an adj
dress on Missions by Rev. A. McCullen,
of Oxford.
1t was a very fine address-short. to
the point and at times eloquent. The
speaker dealt with the philosophy OF mis-
sions rather than with what has been
accomplished or yet remains to be done
in the mission field
die began by saying that the greatest
subject in the world is that of missions.
LAS the rivlIlet is to the ocean so il,
this Twentieth Century Movement to the
subject Of missions. This subject is the
greatest thought that God ever had.
The hunblest angel about the throne of
God is 4 greater thought than was the
creation of this world which we some
times consider the greatest work of God.
Man is Gods greatest Thought He is the
masterpiece OF the universe. so great is
this subject that | scarcely know where
TO begin or where to end.
SIT is the beginning and the end of
mans destiny. The missionary thought =
the thought of the infinite mind.
When the Tempter came to- man in
the Garden of Eden he sought, first of
all, to poison the very fountainhead of
salvation. God is deceiving you. Par
take of this fruit and you'll know as
much as He krows.' This was his reas-
oning and by it he won. The devil is 81
philosopher The first thing to do was
to make man skeptical. Then all else
was easy.
THE fountainhead poisoned, his next
step was to debase morals. / don't be-
lieye an original sin. That's a myth r
like the devils being a serpent. But l
believe In the faint. The moral nature
cam be weakened"
The speaker gave instances of the
,lerJths to which humanity has since de-
scended.
'sWhat is woman?" he asked, where
the Christian religion is not known! y
slave kept simply to crafty
mans passions; a beast OF
burden, to bear the burdens OF
man. And it seems to me If 1 were 4
woman l would never rest as long as
there was corner OF the earth where
the gospel was not preached. it cir>
the bonds, strikes off the shackles from
woman and makes her q queen.
Sometimes we imagine that GOD II
idle and only a few preachers are al
Xix trying to save the world. There
has never been Il moment when GOd
was mot doing his best in the great work
of human redemption. He calls every
human being to his assistance. Not every
man goes or is wanted to so out as L
preacher, but there is a work for each
Missions simply mean redemption OF thu
human race. If every man did his duty
there would not be Il place on the face
Of the earth where every man, woman
and child had not heard of God.
But what does it cost? Well, it's cost:
business. To begin with it has cost the
life and suffering of Jesus Christ. What
would you take for your hope of heaven

ing Then why talk of counting the cost
of human salvation.

such a matter as this, We must have but
