ORDINATION AT WATERPROOF Monday,
Jan. %, was a red letter day at Winterport
On that day the new and loved pastor Of the
Congregational church was ordained to the
gospel ministry, and was installed as pas
tor Notwithstanding the severe weather
there was fine attendance. The examina-
ton was in the afternoon. The candidate,
John Frederick Schneider, graduate of
Bangor seminary in the class of 1902, and of
BoWdOin college in the class of 1904, gave a
moving statement of his Christian expert
ence and of the way he was led into the
ministry, and followed this by carefully
prepared paper giving summary of his
faith. 1t was fresh and original and was
followed by thorough course of question
ing by the council. The decision of the lat
ter was unanimous for ordination, and,
after bountiful collation. and social
hour, the ordination itself came at night
Pres. Beach preached the sermon; Prof
Beckwith offered the ordination prayer
full of tenderness and inspiration the Rev
John 4. Wilson of Frankfort gave the right
hand of fellowship in a few well chosen
words and Secretary liarbutt. of the Maine
Missionary society, gave the charge to the
pastor and the address to the people, each
most fittingly. There was excellent music
pastor of the Methodist church, conducted
the opening devotional service, and shared
in the deliberations of the council. The
very considerable attendance. and the hearty
God speed of the Methodist people was one
of the pleasantest features of the occasion.
Mrs. Schneider, lately Miss Kimball of
Bangor, and her mother, ARE winning golden
opinions as sharers in Mr.. Schneider's
work, and it looks like bright future for
both these young ministers of Winterport,
and for their churches.-D. n. B., in Bangor
