Miss Ellis, field secretary of the Congrega-

interesting address at the church last Thurs

Maine Missionary society. She spoke at some
length of the work being done among the
ever increasing number of foreigners in this
State, including that of the italian missionary,
Mr.. Parilo, in Rumford, Mexico and Milli-
nocket, and of the Finnish missionary in Paris
and Harrison. She then brought clearly home

periences. the necessity of maintaining the
work now carried on by the society in the vii
lagos and small towns, in keeping the church
doors open at least portion of the year.
Miss Ellis was listened to with deep interest
and will be welcomed to Belfast again.
THE Boys CONVENTION. The evening SER
vice last Sunday at the Baptist church was an
exceptionally interesting one and was devoted
to reports of the Boys Convention recently
held at Lewiston. On and around the pulpit
large flags were draped and decorated with
| Lewiston and Auburn banners. The choir con-
sisted of about dozen young men of the
church, who sang the Convention songs, and
the ushers were four young ladies from Mrs.
Robertson's Sunday school class. The young
men who attended the convention were seated
on the platform and were as follows: Albert
Gunner, Claude Nutter, William Greenlaw,
Harry Snow. Eugene Cannon, Ralph Clifford,
Sturgis Dexter, Clifford Tinker, Edward Ben
son and Donald Spear. Each one took part in
the program beginning with the trip to Lew
iston and telling the most interesting things
to them of each days session. With them
were seated Rev. w. F. Sturtevant. Mr.. O. E.
Frost and George H. Robertson. who were also
in attendance at the convention and assisted
| in the evenings program. The boys told of
the welcome accorded them from the city, the
churches, and from the boys of Lewiston and
Auburn. They told of the enthusiasm and
interest shown by the boys at these meetings
and some of the most helpful things brought
out by the speakers present. How to help
'.The Other Fellow" was one of the most help
full and practical thoughts discussed, and the
talks on Efficiency, mental, spiritual and phys.
ical were also great inspiration to the boys.
The statistics given of the large number of
| bows at the convention who had promised to
become Christians and engage in different
kinds of church work were very encouraging.
Each delegation of boys at the Convention
gave their cheers and yells, the Belfast dele
cation being assisted in this by three boys
from Brooks and joining with them for the
Brooks yell. The Belfast boys were very
much elated at the election of officers when
one of their number. Albert Gunner. was made
one of the vice presidents of the Association.
The reports brought by the boys were all
given in very creditable manner and showed
deep interest and appreciation in what was
was done for them at the Convention.
