ALL THE LATEST NEWS
From the Somerset Towns.
MARYLAND.

Rev. James II. Gray has recently
accepted a call to the Methodist
Episcopal church at Hartland and he
aud Mrs. Gray were given delight
full reception last Tuesday evening in
the church vestry and auditorium.
The church was beautifully trim
med with a profusion of pinks, Gala
lilies and apple blossoms under the
supervision of Fred Abraham, assist =
ed by Mrs. Mary Fuller and Mrs. 4.
A. Linn. The altar was handsomely
arranged with chairs, stands and
floral appointments, and here the re :
eeiving line, consisting OF Mr.. and
Mrs. r. A. Linn, Mr.. and Mrs. M.
Schwartz, and Rev. and Mrs. Gray
with the assistance of ushers received
the large number of guests. During
the performance of these pleasant
duties, Mrs. J. E. Fuller rendered
piano solos.
After the receiving line had retired,
ID. A. Packard welcomed Mr. and
Mrs. Gray in behalf of the community,
and r. A. Linn spoke for the business
men of the town. During the course
of his remarks Mr.. Linn made very
interesting mention of the fact that
sufficient funds has been raised
whereby the mortgage of $500 on the
parsonage could be paid. Through
Abe splendid efforts of T. A. Linn, of
the Linn Wooden Co., it became posi-
BILE for this to be done, firms with whom
he, in behalf of the company, had
business dealings, very generously
contributing for this purpose. 1t was
pleasing feature of the evening that
A. G. Cross of Boston, one of the
most liberal givers, was present and
during the evening he was given a
Chautauqua salute by members of the
Methodist parish. The program con-
cluded with several choice musical
and literary numbers and following
this, delicious ice cream and assorted
cake was served from the vestry by
several young ladies and gentlemen.
The members of the Methodist So
ciety and the citizens of the town are
much pleased with the Rev. Mr.. Gray,
who is we'll known as one OF the most
prominent Methodist clergymen in
Maine. He was born at Newcastle,
England, and came to this country in
1884. He was educated at Mount
Allison, Sackburn, n. B., and at the
Boston University Theological school.
Mr.. Gray was married to Miss Bessie
Raworth at Port Elgin, N b., July 8,
1892, and came to Maine from Boston
in 1898. In the spring, 1899, he was
admitted to the Conference and was
ordained deacon at Clinton by Bishop
Joyce in 1901, while in 1908 Bishop
Andrews of Newport ordained him
elder. During this young PASTORS
ministry he has accepted charges
frst at Gushing for one and one half
years, and at Rockport three years.
Four years ago he received unani-
nous call to Boothbay Harbor. AL
though being invited to return to that
place for another year, he removed
from that town to Hartland, much
against the wishes of the Methodist
Pensioners of that town. That his
stay in Boothbay was profitable as
well as pleasant, will be shown from
the fact that extensive repairs were
made on the church, new chapel
built and parsonage stable erected.
Rev. and Mrs. Gray are receiving a
hearty welcome from and giving a
hearty hand grasp to Hartland resi-
dents.
