ON of of e1o
and that any form of slavery was un-Ameri-
can. He spoke of the highest kind of free
ON that came only with the religion of Jesus
Christ He said that friendship was akin to
freedom and recited beautiful poem by James

the evening Miss Maud E. Mathe WIS gave an
interesting accoun. of the recent meetin gs of
the Missionary Conference in New York city
The Maine Congregational conference at
it's recent session in Norway, adopted the fol-
lowing resolutions:
Resolved That the conference reaffirm the
resolution passed one year ago recommending
that every local church provide for the ex-
penses of it's pastor and delegate delegates
in attendance upon the annual meeting, and
that where such provision by the local church
cannot reasonably be expected, the conference
vote of financial assistance be carried in due
effect. In view of the conditions that may
arise in the coming meeting of the national
council at Kansas City. recommend that
memorial Of this conference be forwarded to
the council protesting most decidedly against
any increase in demand for financial support
from that body either by per capita assess
ment or appointment of any kind until such
demand shall have been submitted to and has
received endorsement of our individual
churches is what we still believe to be our
authoritative method of Congregational usage.
Resolved: That, recognizing the claims of
various agencies for social service in promot-
ing actualization of the ideal of Christianity in
the world and in the moralization of the vari-
Gus realms of life according to the christian
standard of social justice and human welfare,
we reaffirm the declaration of a year ago of the
creation and sustentation of social service
commission and we recommend to the program
committee of our State and local conference
bodies, the giving place on their program to
representatives of social organizations and of
organized labor.
Resolved: That the conference appoves recent
action of our governor in removing from Office
several negligent sheriffs. That in view of his
pr=roeative, now so effectively used, we re-
affirm our confidence in the prohibitory law,
that we pledge all sheriffs and their deputies
our active support in this effort to reintrench
respect for law in the will and practice of our
State:
