Maine and called the Readfield cir
cult The first Westinghouse for the
Methodist denomination built in
Maine was at East Readfield and MAJ

Manchester TO Readfield Depot. 1t

In 1898 a petition to form a society
by some of the inhabitants of Au-
gusta, Sidney and Belgrade was not
granted by the town. The majority
still ruled even in spiritual matters.
It was in the year 1890 that Rev. E.
Kibbey, Methodist, preached in what
was called the Thomas House on the
East side of the river. At the close Of
his sermon a gentleman arose and ex-
pressed his appreciation of the sermon
and of the preacher and, throwing
silver dollar on the table, requested
others to follow his example. A
shower of silver dollars followed. The
preacher protested against this diffuse
liberality but was constrained to, ac-
cept the generous bounty. The gen

Beginning of Church Organization.
Briefly mentioned, some of the fol-
lowing facts are of great interest: In
the year 1895 was commenced the
publication of the Kennebec Intelli-
gencer. in 1892 $50 was raised for
the purchase of a bass viol which was
later used for accompanying the vocal
music of the church services and was
also used for dances. Eighteen hun
bred and seven marked the beginning
of the class in the village proper and
therefore the beginning of the church
organization.

deed rock bound fields for the early

tainly rock bound coast AS
the church of England regarded
state and church inseparable in
England, so the descendants of the
Pilgrim Fathers considered the rela-
ton of the orthodox churches to the
state and inhabitants thereof of New
England. The land was divided into
parishes and dotted over with meeting
houses. and it was held to be the duty
of every citizen TO support the gospel
as much as to support the public
schools or the roads.
AT the conference held in New York
in 1889 one Jesse Lew appointed
a circuit rider and what think you his
Circuit was? New England. A bold
man indeed he must have been to I'M
dertake the work in such a field, bat
he seems to have been successful and
equal to the situation.
In the Early Days.
Coming down to more recent days
the speaker took a brief glance at
conditions as they prevailed in the
early days. In 1773 it is recorded that
a town meeting was held on the 18th
of March at the house of Josiah
French, innholder. This house was
not far from where we are now as
sembled, probably across the street.
At this town meeting among the ap-
preparations was one of Ell. for
l.. Il, sc,
act the Rev John Murray was brought
from Boothbay and preached here for
a short time. In September came
the Rev. John Allen and he was the
first resident minister employed by
the town. Preaching was probably
conducted at the Fort. 1t was in 17777
that the town meeting voted to build
meeting house and the outcome of
this was the building latterly known
as ''Waverly Hail. recently described
in these columns.
The first settled pastor in the par
ish was the Rev. Isaac Foster but his
ministry seems to have been rather
unsatisfactory to some of the elements
and thus early in the old parish we
find a separation and a second church.
In 1891 it is recorded that Rev.
Adoniram Judson preached here for
short time as a candidate, and some
years after this Judson on a mis-
sionary tour to Burmah, changed to Q,
Baptist and his work in founding the
Baptist Society is of considerable
note.
In the year 1894 the town was di
vided into three parishes, north, mid
die and south in an effort to satisfy
| the differences that existed. In 1893,
