Free Baptist Anniversaries.
THIRD DAY.
A social meeting of deep interest was held
from nine to ten o'clock, led by Rev. A. H.
Morrill.
The Temperance Convention was called to
order at quarter past ten o’clock, by Rev. J.
Rand, chairman.
After singing, prayer was offered by Rev. 11.
Whitcher.
Rev. E. N. Fern aid was chosen Secretary
pro tern.
A committee of five was appointed to nom
inate a list of officers, viz : Rev. I. 1>. Stew
art, Rev. W. II. Bowen. E. W. Page, Esq.,
Rev. II. Whitcher, Rev. W. T. Smith.
The committee reported the following list of
officers which was accepted and the officers
elected: President, Rev. James Rand; Vice
Presidents, Rev. II. E. Whipple, Rev. S. 1).
Bates; Secretary and Treasurer, Rev. E. X.
Fernald; Corresponding Secretary, Rev. J.
Burnham Davis.
The officers constitute an executive commit
tee, with the addition of Rev. A. Deering.
The convention was addressed by Rev. A.
Deering of Farmington, in his peculiar and
earnest manner. He launched at once into
statistics and proceeded to show how much
rum-drinking costs the people of this country.
He showed that the direct cost of liquor in
this country is 81,860,000.000 annually: that
the incidental cost of crimes, insanity, de
struction of grain and other properly is 8-6-.
000,000; that it costs in the loss to labor at
least 8600,01)0,000 more. He then showed
that the aggregate yearly expense was equal
to the cost of the construction of all the rail
roads in the country—larger than the value of
all the live stock, and would pay the national
debt in twenty months. He claimed that the
legislature was responsible for the execution
of laws ami the manufacture of liquor. He
discussed, the State Police question, and
thought that it was as essential to have a
special police for enforcing the criminal laws
against grog shops, as a special police for the
enforcement of laws against taking fish, and
wound up with an appeal to the church to be
more active in tins matter.
The venerable Rev. J. Stevens followed in
remarks on the same subject.
The executive committee was instructed to
consider the question of keeping a temperance
lecturer in the field.
It was voted that in the opinion of the con
vention special prominence should be given
to the subject of temperance in the Morning
Star.
The following resolutions were reported
and adopted:
Resolved, That as a denomination we will
hold no fellowship with any person who shall
rent a building as a drinking saloon, or
tippling shop, ami that we will neither ad
mit them to membership with us or to a s> at at
the table of the Lord, if we know it.
Resolved, That the wide-spreading desola
tions of intemperance so hinders the progress
of Christianity as to demand of every Christian
minister an active and outspoken opposition to
the fearful evil. Every church and Sabbath
school we claim should be an active temper
ance organization.
Resolved, That we deem it our imperative
duty to secure the enactment and enforce
ment of such laws as shall most effectually •
etop the importation, manufacture and sale of
intoxicating liquor in this country : and to this
end we pledge ourselves to vote for such men
for office as shall use their official influence
to accomplish this purpose.
The meeting then adjourned.
Afterxoox.
The anniversary of the Educational Society
was held at 2 o’clock, Rev. G. T. Day. Presi
dent, in the chair.
Rev. l)r. Graham of Chicago offered prayer.
The Treasurer of the Society, Rev. Silas
Curtis of Concord, N. II., read the annual re
port, which was accepted. The figures of
the report we gave yesterday. The Treas
urer reported t^iat he held notes, some ol
them dating back as far as 1851, amounting in
the aggregate to $10,000, which is needed to
supply the wants of the Society. Report ae
C-'pted.
The Corresponding Secretary, Rev. \V. II.
Howen of Lewiston, read his annual report,
(the 32d) which was accepted. The report
states that the past has been an eventful year
with the Society. A plan has been proposed,
and adopted by which the theological school
has been established under the guardianship
of Hates College, and the Society relieved ot
that care, leaving it free to use its funds di
rectly for the education of young men. The
Society affectionately appeal to the churches
for encouragement and financial help in their
work to educate young men who are desirous
of preaching the Gospel. We must not only
prav over it, but give for it.
There were some plain words addressed to
the churches. The theological school, al
though just springing into life, gives promise
of great success. About $2,000 have been
expended the past year in aid of thirty-seven
young men in different parts of the country.
The number of young men needing aid this
year will be double that of last year, and the
contributions should be made accordingly.—
There are twenty-two young men in the first
class at the school.
ltev. I. D. Stewart read a statement of the
financial affairs of the Commission for the pro
motion of education in the South, a commis
sion which was established for a temporary
purpose, and is soon to be transferred to the
West Virginia corporation. The liabilities of
the commission are,$10,502.85 ; availabilities,
$;i2,541.43; balance of property, 820,000.—
The farm at Harper’s Ferry has been pur
chased, with other buildings. Present cost of
entire tarm, $11,000. Received on land sold,
82,000; due on land sold, 84,725. The cor
poration known ns Storer College owns some
valuable land. This with the property owned
by the commission is worth somewhere be
tween 810,000 and $50,000.
Rev. Mr. Hall was called for and briefly re
sponded in eloquent remarks. He said that
whether talking on the subject of education,
Sabbath Schools, home or foreign missions,
the theme is the same. During the past
twenty years a million of dollars had been
expended by the Free Baptist church. Con
sidering the poverty and obscurity of the
church in its early days, this is a large sum.
Bates College is a monument of industry,
perseverance and generosity. Pittsfield Semi
nary, the Green Mountain Seminary, and N.
11. Seminary, all demand help. Alter these
latter institutions are established on a firm
basis, it will be a pleasure to add $50,000 to
the funds of Bates College. Hillsdale College
is doing excellent work, as are also our edu
cational institutions in New York. When we
consider the advancement made, we have
good reason to thank God. The money for
these contributions has come generally from
men of small means. Ministers have given
one hundred dollars to these funds when they
have not property enough to give them a de
cent burial, and salaries so small as to fright
en a liberal man. They have given money
when they themselves should have received
aid from the benevolent societies. He closed
with an affectionate appeal to the young men
who are about entering the ministry to get as
good an education as possible and then conse
crate it by heart devotion to the cause of the
great Master.
l’rof. Hayes of Hates College addressed the
convention. He commenced by saying that
he wished those who were to undertake the
task of educating themselves, to adopt such
improved methods as are being used by France
and Prussia, although these nations use their
light and knowledge wrongfully. He wanted
young men to be trained for the gospel minis
try ; to be prepared by a thorough knowledge
of the arts, sciences and languages, to meet
the assaults and the arguments of those who
are delving into the mysteries of science to
disprove the doctines of the Christian religion.
An educated ministry is demanded. We
speak of a young man being filled with
fervor and enthusiasm. While this is neces
sary, there should be a trained mind to hack
up the fervency and enthusiasm, lie dwelt
at length upon the work of preparing our
young men for the gospel ministry. Prof.
Hayes’ address was an able argument in fa
vor of ministerial education, but too long for
any report that would do it justice.
The interests of the Maine Central Institute
at Pittsfield, Penobscot county, were then
presented by Kev. G. W. Bean, agent lor the
institution. The school is in an important
section of the State. It is commended by
people of all denominations as a school that
is doing a vast amount of good. One hund
red and fifty-five students, young men and
women, first class students, are receiving an
education within its walls. The school has
able and efficient teachers; but it is in debt,
and greatly in need of money. By the efforts
of the Penobscot Yearly Meeting and other
friends, the clouds have been gradually lift
ing, but still there remains a debt of $28,000.
To offset this there are notes and pledges to
the amount of 88.000. The dimensions of
the Institute building are 118 feet by 08 feet.
Only the first story is finished; the whole
should be completed to meet present wants.
He called upon the friends of education to
assist the institution by contributions.
K. W. Page of New York pledged §51X1;
Kev. Mr. Kimball of Wells, $100; A. N.
Hutson, a student in the theological school at
Lewiston, 825; Mr. Watson, $50; ami others
in amounts of ten and five dollars, the whole
fooling up in the neighborhood of about eight
hundred dollars.
Kev. Ebenezer Knowlton, a liberal donor
to the institution, spoke of the blessings flow
ing into the heart of the liberal giver. The
people in his section were willing to lift to
the last ounce, in raising the debt from the
institute.
The meeting then adjourned.
Evening.
In the evening the anniversary of the For
eign Mission Society was held. IIon.E. Knowl
ton, the President, presiding.
The exercises commenced with singing the
familiar hymn—
■lie Thou O liod exalted high,’’
followed by prayer by Kev. Mr. Sinclair of
New Hampshire.
Kev. C. O. Libby, Corresponding Secretary,
then read the 34th annual report of the society
giving a detailed account of the whereabouts
and labors of those engaged in mission ser
vice abroad. A steady and general progress
has been made the past year in mission work.
Thirty-six new churches have been added the
past clejen months.
The amount of contributions the past eleven
months is 82,330.31, of which Maine furnish
ed 81,718. Donations and bequests $7,192.2(1;
interest 8395.11. Total 810,487.(16, or 81,
036.38 more than last year.
Kev. G. T. Day spoke ol the mutual rela
tions and dependence of the various causes
presented at these Anniversaries. Foreign
Missions will suggest a strong reason for
training our children so that they may early
accept the duty of devoting life to the spirit
ual welfare of the wot Id. It pleads for Home
Missions that we may have resources on
which to draw. It calls for education that it
may have well trained men for the difficult
work of the missionary in heathen lands.
And so in pleading for this cause there is a
voice heard asking for more efficiency in
every other department of Christian benevo
lence and activity.
The command to preach the gospel to every
creature is addressed to all Christ’s disciples.
Till the Great Master exempts a church or
a denomination from this duty, it may be as
sured that the claim is binding; and though
a worldly expediency may doubt, Christian
wisdom and prosperity lie in the way of a du
tiful and submissive faith.
And both reason and experience assure us
of profit through our work in the foreign field.
Conversions multiply as rapidly under the la
bors of our foreign missionaries as under those
of pastors at home. Conversions among
heathen make a mark and guage real progress
such as cannot be questioned. Such work re
acts upon us by enlarging the plaDs and widen
ing the sphere of sympathy of those who be
come identified with this broad work. It
keeps before us the true ideal of Christian
character and service. And this work is grad
ually but surely undermining the whole sys
tem of heathenism, so that it is to fall sudden
ly at no distant day like the sudden overthrow
of >'apoleonisnj in France. And when it falls
we shall not be willing to lose the moral in
spiration coming from the thought that we
have done something to procure its overthrow,
and are to have a share in the succeeding
work of reconstruction. And we, in our
humble sphere, may be all the while sending
abroad the forces that ultimate in the utter
and final downfall of the false systems that
oppose the truth and keep Christ from taking
his seat among men as the Redeemer and
Lord of mankind.
Rev. C. O. Libby next followed with a few
remarks in which he urged a systematic mode
of raising money for mission purposes, and ol
an increase of funds. At the next meeting ol
the Hoard he hoped to see the appropriations
doubled. He spoke in feeling and commen
datory terms of the devoted labors of Rev.
Dr. Bachelder, who is now on his return from
India, having literally worn out in the mis
sion service. He solicited contributions in
his favor which resulted in raising $3t).03.
On the adjournment of the Society's anni
versary the convention reassembled, the usu
al aeries of resolutions complimentary to the
railroad companies, as well as one to the citi
zens of Augusta for their ample and cordial
entertainment, were passed.
A closing prayer was offered by Rev. Mr.
Day, and the benediction pronounced by Rev.
Mr. Knowlton, whereupon the convention
adjourned without day.
Hallowell Items.
AA'e invite the attention of our Hallowell
readers to the advertisement of Messrs.
Pinkham & Small. They have fitted up an
admirable market-place, a few rods north of
their former stand, and will in the future as
in the past be found attentive and faithful to
their customers. AVe hope their efforts to
wards affording the city every desirable
market facility, will be duly appreciated by
the people.
Mr. G. N. AVoodsum of Clinton, who a few
weeks since purchased a house on Lincoln
street, is moving into it the present week.
He is a gentleman of reliability and enter
prise, and we trust his new surroundings will
prove [pleasant and satisfactory.

death of Gen. Lee, by order of the Deputies,
without Collector Robbs’ knowledge. Robbs
immediately ordered the flag at full mast, pro
voking much public feeling. He telegraphed
to Secy Boutwell asking whether the flag
should lie lowered again. Sec’y Boutwell ap
proved Robb’s action.
