As surprise to Rev. A. E. Luce who was
TO preach the last sermon of his pastorate at
the NJ. f. Church last Sunday evening, the
pastors of the other city churches planned
union melting at his church, and all were pres
ent except Rev. A. A. Smith, who was in
Stockton Springs. Rev. D. L. Wilson of the
North Congregational Church offered prayer,
in which reference was made to the pleasant
relations existing between the city clergymen.
Rev. Adolph Rossbach conducted the respon-
sive reading, and Rev. Arthur G. Roberts read
the Scriptures. Mr.. Luce did not preach
farewell sermon but took for his text Books
and Education" The church was crowded, and
there was also large attendance at the morn
ing session and much regret is expressed that
Mr.. Luce is obliged to sever his relations with
the Belfast charge. The illness of Mrs. Luce,
however, makes change to an inland town
imperative. She has already benefited by
some weeks sojourn in Patten and her many
frie nds in Belfast hope to hear of her continu-
ed improvement and complete recovery. In
his morning sermon at the North Congrega-
tional church Rev. D. L. Wilson referred feel
ingly to Mr.. Luce, spoke of the pleasant rela-
lions existing between the local pastors, and
said that Mr.. Luce had been a force for good
in the community.
