Rev. Charles Harbutt secretary of the Maine
Missionary Society, gave an able and interest
ing address at the CoQgreg gational church last
Sunday evening. He showed in clear convinc-
ing manner the Importance of our home mis-
sionary work In Maine there are many towns
sparsey populated which do not maintain any
religious services outside those carried on by
the missionary society. The gospel must be
carried to them or hundreds of children will
grow up in ignorance of all religion. Another
very important work carried on by the Maine
Missionary Society is that done for Italians and
Firms. Rev Mr.. Harbutt showed how neces-
sary to the welfare of the State and nation and
to church all these lines of work are. The
speaker showed very clearly that every Chris
tan church owes something to the State and
wider fields as well as to its own immediate
neighborhood. od.-Norway Advertiser January,
