UuiyersaIist Grove Meeting.

A more beautiful day than last Wed
nesday could not have been selected fol
the annual Universalist grove meeting
which is held at Dearborn's Grove, Bry
ants Pond. And as all who have ever
seen it know, there is not in all this out
door state more beautiful spot for sucf
a meeting, or one better adapted to the
purpose. A number of benches recently
built furnish seats in the level space
directly in front of the stand, but the
larger part of the audience generally
prefer to sit comfortably on the grass or
the sloping sides of the little amphi
theatre, within easy reach of the speak.
er's voice.
The first meeting was opened at II
O'Clock A. NJ, the programme being in
charge of j. II. Barrows of Bethel
president of the Oxford Association Of
Universalists, under whose auspices the
meetings are held. A double quartette
from Bryant's Pond led the singing, be-
sides singing several anthems.
The sermon of the forenoon was an
impressive discourse by Rev. c. R. Ten
ney of Auburn, from the text, "Whithei
goest thouP''-devoted to a considera'
ton of our aim in life, the true aim
being to do the Fathers will, at what.
ever cost.
For the dinner, hot coffee was served
free and in ample quantity. Those in at.
tendance brought their own lunch, and
ate in groups in the pleasant grove, and
more than twelve baskets full of frag
ments might have been gathered up.
An hour of general sociability followed.
A song service opened the afternoon
session, after which prayer was offered
by Rev. Miss Macduff of West Paris, and
the sermon was given by Rev. c. A,
Knickerbocker of Arlington, Mass, who
is at Paris Hill for the summer. Mr.
Knickerbocker, who weekly delights
large congregations at the Hill, gave ar
eloquent discourse from the text, "Fol
God, who commanded the light to shine
out of darkness, hath shined in oul
hearts, to give the light of the knowledge
of the glory Of God in the face Of Jesus
Christ" beginning with word picture
of the poets dream of creation as giver
in Genesis, and his final thought being
that creation would not be justified un
til Gods purpose had been fulfilled II
bringing men to perfection.
Following the sermon, Rev. F. E
Barton of Bethel, the state superintend
emit of churches, spoke briefly, extend
ing especial congratulations upon thu
constructiveness and inspiration of thu
sermons that had been heard.
The attendance at this meeting wa!
larger than at any previous week-da!
meeting held by the association, being
estimated at 400 or more. Count mad,

The time for filing nomination papers
expired at midnight of the 10th, and the

Republican candidates for all offices In
the state filed their papers, and all that
are lacking on the Democratic side are
two candidates for representative. In
two representative districts, one In
Aroostook County and the other In
Washington, there are no Republican
candidates, the Republicans having en-
dorsed the Democratic candidates.
