we bid him good cheer. Go and see his

Our young friend, the printer boy, the
hale-fellow- well-met, the soldier, the cor
respondent, the self made man and,
finally, the Rev. John A. Cruzan, filed
Rev. S. p. Sloan's pulpit in the Congrega-
tional church last Sabbath, morning and
evening, in a manner we think-which
reflected credit upon the young minister
and to the evident delight of all, and
particularly so to those of his old friends,
who heard him. The speaker handled
his subjects in very instruct tive manner,
sticking to the texts selected. Starting
with the material of which men are made,
his studies have not sectarianized his
mind, but, still holding the broad liberal
views Of his boyhood, he is willing to
accept good for good and acknowledge
christian to be christian whatever the
name. With this sort of mental founda-
ton, good physical frame, clear, full
voice, rather pleasing style of delivery,
and an ample store of native energy, we
predict the day not far away when he,
who was, a few years ago, an humble
devil in printing Office, will Gil no ordinary
station, and do much toward liberalizing
the pulpit Of the country. We shall hear
from our young friend yet, and we are
proud to see in him the evidence which
goes to prove it. Go on: 90 on to the sues
cess your friends are confidently expecting
you to attain in the profession made no5le
by the purest and most humble Preacher
the world ever knew.

D. d. Fraser, lady and little boy are
at, home after protracted absence
East. We all welcome d. d. to Nc
Gregor, but it is melancholy to state
that his visit was sad one, both his
parents having sunk into the grave
during his absence. They were very
aged people and died, as is not uncom-
mon, within a few weeks of each
other. 1905 r0

His report of the crops and the inse-
