Wednesdays Sessions of the

Maine Missionary Society was in 1884
when he was elected president, holding
the Office until 1901. He was elected
trustee at the close. Of his term as presi-
dent and held abe Office until he became
trustee and director Of the newly or
ganized society. holding both offices un-
til his death. This means q years OF
continuous service which has been rem
dered with singular faithfulness and in
terest in the work of the society.
The Country Church.
1.-The work in the aided churches has
progressed steadily throughout the year.
Recognition must ever be given to the
fact that the depletion of the country
village still continues and always will
continue. Even in the more prosperous
villages. which show steady growth, the
young people from the class of homes
which usually support our Congrega-
tional churches will be found drifting
away to fill positions in the larger out
side world 1t Is not without signih-
canoe, when we come to consider the
work being done in the average country
church, that the majority of these young
people make good. The names of most OF
them can be found on the rolls of the
Sunday schools and many of them on the
rolls of the churches of the places from
which they went in Maine.
''The position of pastor Of rural
church in Maine today is an exacting and
very often a discouraging one. No one
engaged in religious work needs more the
sympathy and prayers of all our people
than do the men who are manning these
outposts of the Christian faith. and with
patience and devotion are doing well a
most difficult task. It is impossible to
put into figures all that this work means,
or what is accomplished, but in so far as
figures can tell the story. it is to be found
in the statistical report.
"A sum total of over 81 years of toll
and faith and prayer, Of preached word
and loving ~ service, such as was rem
dered by those whose names are men,
toned in the statistical report must of
necessity have had a great influence on
the life of the State, greater far than
human eye can see or tongue can ex-
press. 1t is the lot of the country pastor
to give this kind of service in calm but
strong assurance that the Lord of the
Harvest knows all about it and that even
they who sow in tears shall reap in
joy and come again bringing their
sheaves with Them With this band of
faithful pastors, it has been a joy to la
Dor and while it is not possible to give a
detailed report of the work of each
church. it is still source of great pleas
ure to be able to testify to the splendid
character and service of the minute men
of Maine Congregationalism, who man
the churches"

mandate by which the decision of the

Rev. c. M. Clark

In his report for the State Work
Committee, Rev. c. NJ. Clark said that
one Of The most notable pieces of work
of the past year has been the housing
of the Italian work at Rumford Falls
by Transforming the old M. c. r. R.
station into a chapel. A most signifi-
cant statement made by Prof. Clark
indicated that it is very difficult to
obtain men for the various branches
Of the work. He called upon the
churches to watch for young men who
should enter the work, to talk with
them about the minister's calling, to
direct them toward college and semi
nary.
The report of Treasurer G. F. Carey
of Portland showed that over $4,000 had
been handled during the year, about a
third of which was expended for pastors
and missionaries. The cash balance for
January. 1915, was about $4,000 less than
the balance for January 1914. The au-
ditor's and trustees reports were largely
In terms of figures giving detailed ac-
countings and intimate knowledge of the
conference finances.
Finance Committee
The finance committee reported
through w. S. Bass Of Wilton and Rev.
A. D. Leavitt of Portland. Mr.. Leavitt
sketched the plan for the emergency and
equalizing fund. The meat of Mr. Bass
report was contained in three parts of
an outlined financial policy: First, to de-
velop among our churches a vision of the
importance of our State work, and an
individual sense Of responsibility for its
advancement; second, to make such ad-
justments in expenditures as will bring
them within current income; third, to
proceed vigorously with the emergency
fund in order that stable income from
the fund may replace a fluctuating one
from legacies at the earliest possible
date.
Rev. Henry Webb
In presenting his report for the benev-
olence committee Rev. Henry w. Webb
of Bucksport called attention to the fact
that though he did not wish to discour-
age Belgian relief work and other COM
mendable benevolences, he thought it adj
visable to call attention to the fact that
the whole country is interested in the aid
for the Belgians whereas only Congrega-
tionalists are likely to be substantially
Interested in the Congregational organi-
cation. Upon the presentation Of the re-
port of the committee on ministerial
standing by Rev. r. B. Mathews Of
Ellsworth the conference adopted new
resolutions relating to the method Of re-
voking ordination.
