This society and the denomination at

death of Prof Edward w. Hall, l.. l..
d., senior vice president of the society.
For many years in connection with mis-
great work as librarian of Colby Col
lege nc has carefully gathered mate
rial of interest and value to all who
would become acquainted with the his
tory of the Baptists of Maine. This ma
teriai is part of the Colby College
library. We place upon record our APP
probation of the service that he rem
dcred and our sorrow at his departure
from us.
The work of the society has gore for
ward quietly during the year and its
collections are increasing. Room for
their proper arrangement and use is
greatly desired. The society has re-
ceived from Mrs. N. 4. Dutton several
books prepared by the late Rev. New
ell! T. Dutton. containing much valua-
BILE matter, also addresses and papers
prepared by him for special occasions.
Pamphlets and documents covering the
early history of the college are Daclud-
ed. There has been received from a
friend Of the society from Woolwich a
large number of copies of the Advo-
cate in the early years, making it pos
sible for this society to go on hopeful
ly in the securing of a complete file of
the paper. Miss Madeline Pendleton of
Brunswick has evidenced her interest
in the society by gifts of valuable his
torical material w. L. Hubbard of
Bangor has begun a special collection
of Baptist Historical matter, which,
will be kept, at least SO far as dupli-

T. J. RANDALL, For the Com
mittee
c. e. OWEN. on Reform
The report was followed by a spirit
ell temperance address by Rev. c.. e.
owen, ID. d., representing the Chris
tan civic League. He said in open
,inS that in this question four classes
were to be dealt with: Those who
positively want the liquor traffic. abol-
ished: those who positively witt ,the
liquor traffic regulated by licenE ana
local option; those who don't c;re and
the liquor dealers The first class, he
declared, want prohibition because
they believe it to be right and that
under it the State would be a safer.
sancr and more prosperous State.
They also want it for the sake of the
great prohibition wave that is sweep
Ing over the country, for they feel that
for Maine to take q backward step
wnen Representatives will go to Wash
ington from the South that favor pro-
hibition would be backward step that
would greatly iniurc the cause of tenn
perance.
The second class want the traffic reg
uiated because they want better liquors
, for our men and boys to drink, SO they
say. They want respectable places to
drink it in instead of dens. They
would have our men and boys drink
nnd in, 4
good men do as good a liquor business
| as possible that shall be as decent and
respectable as preaching or farming
and they would have the saloon men
to help pay our taxes
The third class don't care, They are
indifferent and it is this class that we
want to win over to the cause which
the first class is confident is right.
There is danger that so many of this
third class will unite with the second
and fourth classes when the contest
comes as to make the result close.
And right here YOU want to remember
that this contest will take place be-
fore the Maine Baptist Missionary
Convention holds it's next annual meet
ing. The election upon which this
question is to be voted upon, if the
Legislature determines to resubmit,
will be held in September 1911, not in
September 1912.
The liquor dealers, the brewers, dis
tillers. wholesalers and retailers of the
whole country desire protection for the
liquor traffic because it gives them ad-
vantages. The law will help them col
lect their bills and show their goods
and give them a legal status, social
standing and political power
Hon. George. D. Bisbee of Rumford

owen, said that if results were to be
accomplished in voting to retain our
prohibitory amendment We wanted to

Report of Directors.

| The report Of the, board of directors
of the Maine Baptist Education Society
| was presented by the secretary, Rev.
| George Merriam of Skowhegan, as fol-
lows:
We cordially greet you all at the
close Of the year. Some work has
been done. Some obligations have been
met The responsibilities which you
laid upon the officers of this society Il
months ago have not been shirked.
We>havc willingly performed the tasks
which you assigned us. Students for
the ministry of our Lord have been
examined, have been interviewed, have
been accepted as beneficaries and have
been aided financially. Fourteen men
have been receiving the prayers and
the encouragement of the Society.
With these men and their work some
of YOU are familiar. They have sup
piled the pulpits of your churches and
during the long vacation of the sum-
mer rendered, within the bounds of
|tyour associations, services, which have
|in them the promise of future accom-
/ plishments, which will glory the name
Of God among men, and redeem many
precious souls.
|, You know, that, with the rarest ex-
ceptions. these young men are depend
ent upon their own resources to meet
their academic and collegiate expenses.
The remuneration received from the
churches, which they serve during their
vacations, is small in comparison will,
1.-THE wages received by other students
in other forms of employment during
the same period of time.
| In view of these circumstances, it
seems to be a matter of justice that
the churches of Jesus Christ. whom
I.they are to serve in coming years,
should give them financial assistance
while they are making preparation for
a life to be spent in the Masters SER

They are names well known in the his
story of Maine Baptists. Some of
these men have in their day presided
over the annual meetings of our State
organizations. We have been greet

In our money order work
we should use the uttermost care to
have a clear copy on the advice. some
times it is almost impossible to make

REPORT OF COMMITTEE ON RE-
FORM.

The following report was presented
by the committee on reform and
adopted:
For more than half Il century the
hluor traffic has been outlawed in the
State of Maine. Today we have a
movement backed by the LIQUOR In
tarests of the entire country to over
throw Prohibition and to bring upon
our state the cause of the legalized
saloon. We pledge ourselves to do all
that is in our power in opposition to
this movement We urge the voters
OF Maine not to be deceived by the
specious plea of the saloon sympa-
thizers that we need measures to en-
bale communities to regulate the Ii
quor traffic.
We believe the only right way to
regulate the liquor traffic is to eXtcr-
inmate it, over against the falsehood
put forth by the saloon and it's allies
that prohibition does not prohibit we
place the fact established by expert
e,ce that prohibition does prohibit.
When officials are moral towards or
wler they are in the pay of the high
err interests We cannot expect enforce
ment.
We recommend in the event of re-
submission that the State be thor
oughly organized by the appointment
of committees in every city and town
and if need be in every school district
to see that the largest possible vote
be polled against the repeal of the
prohibitory amendment.
We heartily commend the work OF
the Christian Civic League. not only
In the line of temperance but in for
warding other moral reforms as we'll.
We desire again TO enter our protest
against the granting of divorces with
the right of marriage for other causes
than the one specified by our Lord.
We DO not recognize the right of hui.
man judges or legislature to sit in
judgment upon the teachings of Jesus
Christ.
We express the earnest hope that no
Baptist minister will lend his sane
ton to the union in so called mar
riage of those whom the Lord has de-
clared should forever be kept apart.
We regard it as the duty of all
Christians to strive by precept and
[exarnple to guard the sanctity of the
Lords Day We recommend that All
effort be made to secure legislation
that shall permit railroad or express
companies from lowering their fares
on sundays and thus bribing people to
desecrate the Lords day. In this con-
vention we desire to commend the

! ORMOND is five miles north of
Daytona, located or the western
bank Of The Halifax River. The To-
cation Of the town permits Of good
drainage and perfect sanitation; the
elevation is superb and ideal for
winter homes. A wide bridge con-
meets Ormond with Ormond Beach.
Many fine residences are main

most Of them embellished with sub

the broad Atlantic.
The walks in all directions are
particularly attractive, and the ar
bors, shady and inviting spots and
romantic hooks are crowded with
rustic seats which are mute invita-
tions to enter into the enjoyment

Besides the broad, smooth ocean
beach there are many drives for car
riage or automobile-lonsd drives and
short drives; drives through groves
of golden oranges; drives through
dense tropical forests to Spanish
ruins; drives to the ancient Cause

tions of hospitable settlers, whose
/ places are replete with the interest
Of Southern fruits and flowers.
One of these interesting planta-
tons is Number Nine, located on the
peninsula, five miles north of the

orange grove, together with great va
rieties of other sub-tropical fruits
and flowers.
Five miles further on you come to
