This plan was cordially sdop'ed BY the Ass0-

each Church, was appointed to secure all necss-
rary information. As Chairman, I now addres,

prompt and hearty cooperation. dcrirs you

RELIGION.

1t finds man in darkness, and gives
him light; it finds him guilty, and brings
him a pardon; it finds him sinful, and il
makes him holy; it finds him blind, and
it opens his eyes; it finds him naked, and
it clothes him; it finds him ignorant, and
it makes him wise; it finds him weak,
and it makes him strong; it finds him
hungry, and it feeds him on bread that
comes down from heaven; it finds him
thirsty, and gives him to drink of the wa
ter oflife; it finds him wanderer, and
brings him to his fathers house; it finds
him companion of fiends, and makes
him the friend of Jehovah; it finds him a
child of the Devil, and makes him a child
of God; 1t finds him a slave, and it makes
him free; it finds him in prison, and 1t
sets him at liberty: it finds him weary,
and it gives him rest; it finds him in dis
grace, and it makes him honorable; it
finds him in the road to hell, and it pla-
ces him in the way to heaven; it finds his
feet in the mire and clay, and places them
on the Rock of Ages; it finds him in dan
ger, and it.makes him happy; it finds him
dead, and it makes him alive; it finds him
a worm, and it makes him king.

THREE PICTURES.

The following poem of surprising sweetness will
ind response with many of our readers who have
learned in the bitter experiences Of the past that
is waiting for me:"
There is form Of girlish mould.
Under the spread of the branches old
At the well known beechen tree,
With the sunset lighting her tresses Of gold.
And the breezes waving them. fold upon fold.
Waiting for me-.
There is the sweet oice, with cadence deep.
Of one that singeth our babe asleep,
And often turns to see
How the stars through the lattice begin to peep.
And watch the lazy dial creep.
Waiting for me.
Long since those locks are lain in the clay.
Long since that voice has passed away,
On earth no more to be;
But still in the spirit world afar
She is the dearest of those that are
Waiting for me.

Revolutionary Relics.

Mr.. r. d. Whitney, OF Ravenna, ONO,
has handsaw made before the Reyolu-
tionary war, which was idle during the
seven years of that struggle, because his
father, who owned it, was in the service;
since then it has been in use, and Mr..
Whitney declares it is better now than
any new one that can be purchased. He
also has an iron square made on black
smiths anvil during the Revolutionary
war. We venture that Mr.. Whitney has
not lost Imuch by losing or neglecting the
care of his tools; though many would lose
a good sized farm in a lifetime by careless
ness with tools, vehicles aud machinery.
