Ellsworth American. [volume] (Ellsworth, Me.) 1855-current, 1914-08-05

REV. P. A. A. KILLAM.
most gratifying to the pastor as token
of appreciation, was the receipt of SUBJ
scription pledges sufficient to wipe out
the Indebtedness on the church.
The sermon by the pastor in the morn
ing was reminiscent, as natural at such a
time, and yet WAS prophetic, in accord
with his hopes and plans for the future.
The congregation was unusually large,
and enjoyed heartily the singing of the
vested choir of young girls who were in
fine voice.
1t was at this service that the final
shares in tie campaign that the pastor
has been pushing, in order to cover the
mortgage indie btedness of the church, were
taken. Seventy shares were needed, of
which sixty were pledged and five others
were offered on condition that the whole
number was taken by the first Sunday in
August, the offer being made by Miss
Chilcott, OF Brooklyn, n. Y, a former
member of the church. The pastor gave
a statement OF the standing OF the
campaign, and in less than a minute the
remaining shares were pledged. The
communion service was the largest in the
history of the pastorate.
The congregation and the auditorium
just fitted each other for the evening SER
vice. Words of greeting and felicitation
were voiced by Rev. j. w. Tickle, of the
Unitarian church, followed by Rev. T. f.
Ross, of the Methodist church. Then
came Rev. r. B. Mathews, of the Congre-
gational church, who is rounding out his
eighth year as pastor here, and who spoke
those years.
After short sermon by the pastor, a
midsummer musicale was rendered BY
the regular choir, each number being
preceded by short passage OF scripture
that gave the key-thought to the number.
The benediction by Pastor Ross brought
to its close day Of happy and grateful
memory to both pastor and people.
