QUARTERLY MEETING.
Free Baptists Hold Interesting Ses.
sion at Mt. Desert Ferry.
fContributed.l


The March session of the Ellsworth h
quarterly meeting WAS held at the school
house at Mt. Desert Ferry March 2o-2.
The bad travelling prevented the atten-
dance OF many, so the congregation was
made up chiefly from the good people OF
Hancock, who attended in large numbers.
The meetings were marked to high de-
gree by spiritual good fellowship.
Friday evening Rev. ID. B. Lothrop, OF
Bangor, preached the first sermon OF the
session, which was stirring and eloquent.
Bro. LOthrop preached again Saturday
morning. Rev. $. B. Whitcomb, OF BAN
gor, and Rev. p. A. A. Killam, of Ellsworth
alternateo in the pulpit during the re-
mainder OF the session. Bro. Whitcomb's q
clear-cut practical sermons are always ap-
preciated. Mr.. killam, pastor OF the Bap-
tist church at Ellsworth, did much to
make the session success. His eloquent
sermons, fine singing and hearty good
spirit OF fellowship, endeared him to all.
We were dependent chiefly on our
Baptist brethren for entertainment and
congregation, and they met the situation
with unbounded measure, opening their
homes and hearts 10 us in the most gem
erous hospitality and Christian fellowship.
we also received courtesies and valuable
assistance from friends OF Hancock
not identified with any church, all
tending, with other good features, to make
the session one of the best Generous
contributions were received.
The June session will be held with the
church at South Biuehill.

SOMEHOW.
Sometime the tempest that frights thee will
cease,
Sometime the Master Himself will speak
peace.
Sometime the sunlthrough the clouds will
appear,
Sometime the meaning of life will be clear.
Somehow the burden you bear will be borne,
Somehow be healed the heart that is torn;
Somehow the grace that is needed will fall,
Somehow thy heart will be strengthened for
all.
Somewhere the treasures long lost will be
found,
Somewhere the harp that is silent will sound,
Somewhere is ended earth's wearisome quest,
Somewhere is rapture and somewhere is rest.
Stay thou thy soul onithe promise SECURE,
Stay thou thy soul then, and bravely endure,
All thy distresses and doubts will be past
Sometime and somehow and somewhere, at
last. Sci cted BY Pet.

Eastern Trust n Banking Co. o.
Bangor Heads the List.


In recently issued supplement. the
New York Ftnancier publishes a roll OF
honor OF the trust companies OF the
United states, the list comprising 25s
companies having surplus and profits in
excess of capital.
An examination OF these statistics,
which have been prepared from the test
data available, discioses the fact that
Bangor institution, the Eastern trust q
Banking Co., stands fifty-seventb in the
list of 239 companies in percentage OF sur
plus and profits to capital, standing first
in Bangor and also first in Maine in this
respect. The figures for the Eastern Trust
& Banking Co. are; Capital, $4,000; sur
plus and profits, s3s9, 1918; percentage OF
surplus and profits to capital. 232.67.
The Portland Trust Co. stands first
in that city, second in Maine and sixty
eight in the United States, with capital
of s250,0O0, surplus and profits Of so23, 1853,
and percentage of 2oa.39.
The Bar Harbor Banking & Trust Co.
stands first in Bar Harbor, third in Maine
and seventy-third in the United States,
having $4,000 in capital, sl0i, $50 surplus
and profits, and percentage OF 203.64.
The Augusta Trust Co. stands first in
fourth in the United States, with capital
OF 100000, surplus and profits OF s2o2, isS
and percentage af 202ls.
The Rumford Falls Trust Co. stands

percentage of l4l.si.
The Aroostook Trust & Banking Co., of
Caribou, stands first in that town, sixth in
Maine and 159th in United States, with
capital of $4,000, surplus and profits OF
S62, 1877 and percentage OF 1A.27
The Fidelity Trust Co., Of Portland,
stands second in that city, seventh in

The Union Trust Co., Of Ellsworth, sue
cessor Of the First national bank, has been
in business as q trust company since last
September. Its capital is t100, 100; its
surplus and profits, $4,000.
These statistics, compiled and pub
lished by one Of the foremost financial
journals in the world, must be very graft
flying to the stockholders and customers
OF the Maine institutions named, and that
. Bangor institution should stand first in
the State and occupy SO high position as
fifty seventh place in the list Of 2B COM
panies, including the richest and most
powerful in the country, must be . source
OF local satisfaction and pride, as it is
eloquent testimony to the stability OF the
Eastern Trust & Banking Co., and to the
ability of its oficers and the soundness Of
their financial policies.
