THE WoRsTED TRADE.-Some idea of the
extent OF the trade in worsteds done by HI.

the fact that they received one day this week

cubic feet. The case was so large that it

OLD ORCHARD, July %.
The Faith Camp Meeting, under the direc-
ton of Dr. Charles Cullis began today. The
morning services, as will be seen by the pro-
gramme below, and by which each days exer-
cises are governed, are services of prayer and
participated in by all under the special diree-
ton of DR.. Cults.
The preaching service at 1880 a. M today
was opened by DR.. Cults, assisted by Rev. Mr..
Sanford of Boston, F. E. Shaw of Maine, True
P. Adams DIR. Ball of New York, and others,
with singing CAN hail the power of Jesus
name, "All glory to Jesus be given" and
'Beulah Land" followed by prayer by F. E.
Shaw of Maine, and singing Precious Prom
Use" by the congregation. DIR. Culls then pre-
faced his sermon, which was from the 9th
chapter Isiah, 9th verse, "For unto us child
is born, unto us q son is given" by few re-
marks, saying, eve are here not only to wor-
ship God, but to acknowledge blessings al
ready received. Let this day be special day
of prayer" DR.. Cults then talked from the
Bible without notes explanatory of the text in
both interesting and effective manner.
After the sermon the meeting was thrown
open for personal testimony of the love of God
in our souls. Rev. Luce introduced the sub
ject for present discussion, Goods special care
over us, with few pertinent remarks. The
congregation sang ut is well with my soul"
after which members of the congregation of
both sexes related personal experiences. Sing
ing by congregation Wonderful words of
Thine;'' remarks and prayer by DR.. Cults;
chorus ''Praise God from whom all blessings
fow," and benediction by Rev. Mr.. Dobbs of
Canada, closed the meeting.
The following were in attendance and as
sisted in the forenoon meeting: Rev. Mr.. San
ford of Boston, True P. Adams, F. E. Shaw of
Maine, DR.. Ball of New York, and Rev. Mr..
Dobbs of Canada.
The singing at these meetings is led with or
gan and cornet.

NTH the gloss and f1eshness Of youth.
Thin hair is thickened, falling hair
checked, and badness often, though
not always, cured by its use. Moth
ing can restore the hair where the
follicles are destroyed, or the glands
atrophied and decayed. But such as
remain can be saved for usefulness
by this application. Instead of foul
ing the hair with a pasty sediment, it
will keep it clean and vigorous. It's
occasional use will prevent the hair
from turning gray or falling of, and
consequently prevent badness. Free
from those deleterious substances
which make some preparations dan
tgerous, and Injurious to the hair, the
Vigor can only benefit but not harm
it. If wanted merely for q
