OF SEASON
AT FERRY BEACH

Ferry Beach, Me, Aug. 23.-(SpeciaD.
The season of 1916 at the Universal
list summer meetings at Ferry Beach
has been a remarkably successful one.
To begin with the weather has been
ideal One could not reasonably expect
% consecutive days to contain more
suitable ones for grove meetings than
from July 20 to Aug. 20. 1916. Then the
news that the long negotiations with
the Boston & Maine for the purchase
of the grove had been brought to sue
cessful conclusion received just before
suspicious send off.
The excellence OF the program and
the fine spirit and great ability of the
speakers AMI instructors promoted
success and finally the attendance, the
number and generosity of the gifts,
The large incraa Sc in membership. both
annual and life, have contributed to
a most gratifying ccnsumation. There
have been several things not on the
,lrogiam that have adCed to the inter-
est One of them was the camp
fire on the beach Saturday evening
lighted by Rev. A. Francis Walsh OF
Amesbury, Mass, which had all the
characteristics CT these Ferry Beach
occasions.
Another thing not previously announced
was the excursion along the boundaries
OF our new possessions led by Rev. NJ G.
Folsome one afternoon after services.
Though not as fascinating. perhaps, as 4
climb up Mount Washington, it yet was
no trip for those shod in silk slippers.
The closing services on Sunday, Aug.
20, were fitting end to the season. In
the morning large company assembled
in the cool cathedral grove Rev J.
Frank Thompson of Winchester read the
lesson, Miss Ecksloff sang two solos. Rev.
D. A. Ball offered prayer and Rev. A.
A. Blair of Belfast, Me-, preached an able
and earnest sermon from the words Let
him be crucified."
In the afternoon Rev. c. W. Penny
man of Peabody, Mass, read the
Scriptures. Rev. q. F. Alvoid of Med
ford Hillside offered prayer and Rev.
G. Fl. Pennoyer Of Attleboro, Mass,
preached a fine, inspiring sermon on
"Ways and Means Of Helping" (Rom.
xii:5). The Y. P. c. L. service in the
evening led by Rev. D. A. Ball Of
West Paris, Me, brought the formal
services to a fitting close. Ferry
Beach. 1916. has passed into history.
