Reminded of RueI Williams

To the Daily kennebec Journal:
Since attending the school meeting
Monday evening, it has occurred to
me that possibly a few words in re-
Eard to Ruel Williams will not come
amiss in this year 1925. On Novem-
Der 10, 1907 Ruel Williams brought
his bride to the Williams mansion.
which is tie oaly perfect colonial
house which stands at the top of
Cony hill. He gave the land for the
State House and brought about its
location at Augusta. instead of Port
land. Portland has long fought
for it during the eightytwo legisla
lures but Augusta continues to hold
her own. Ruel Williams was instru-
mental in establishing the State
Hospital for the Insane and he gave
very generously of his time and
money toward the building up of this
city. North s History, a volume
written in 1870 cites Ruel Williams
as the greatest benefactor Augusta
ever knew. In these modern days,
people come from Philadelphia ana
New York to see the room, termed
the octagon. upon the walls of which
is the original wallpaper, depicting
scenes in the Hawaiian islands and
hand painted in Paris in 1906. The
Metropolitan Art Museum in New
York has several panels of these
scenes. the museum in Philadelphia
has several. but the Ruel Williams
octagon has the entire series in per-
feet preservation. The carpet on
this room was woven by hand in
Paris and remains intact and unfad-
ed, although three generations of
one family have trod upon it. Many
students and lovers OF the beautiful
in early architecture when motoring
through Augusta, stop and admire
the perfect doorway which graces
the entrance of this mansion.
In 1917 President Polk and his
secretary of state. James Buchanan,
were entertained here. For one hun
dred and seventeen years the house
has been occupied by Williams.
and there are great, great Erandchil-
dren to reverence and preserve this
beautiful estate as a memorial to
their ancestor. Ruel Williams, Au-
gusta's greatest benefactor.

MAINE METHODIST CONFER.
. ENCE

A new century of Methodism in
Maine is in the thought Of the Con-
ference now upon the threshold.
The spirit Of the Conference is one
of optimism. The reports from the
districts are on the whole encourag-
ing. In the Augusta District, for in
stance, 1t is said that notwithstand-
ing the past year has not been pros
porous with us all. that many have
worked in industries on short time,
there IS no evidence of a disposition
to reduce the salaries of the pas
tors; also there have been notable
instances of reduction in indebted
ness and reasonable activity in
evangelistic effort Moreover there
is in evidence, a quite general desire
to provide ways for pensioning the
clergy. ''
1t was In 1928 that the Maine
Conference was set off from the
New England Conference, the first
meeting after that change being held
in Gardiner 100 years ago. The
fruitage of that 100 years is surely
cause for optimism respecting the
century to come. The evidences of
success attending devoted effort are
many within the limits of this Dis
trict. The Conference is reminded
that at East Readfield is the Oldest
Methodist church building In the
State. it having been built in 1894,
and the plans include a visit, which
for many of the members of the
Conference will be happy and in
spring occasion.
While 1t nanifestly would be i'm
possible to measure the influence of
Methodism in Maine all ace aware
that it has been powerful for the
good of the communities affected by
it. That ways may be found for
continuing the great work to which
it is dedicated is hope that should
be common with us all.
