No other scientific hypothesis has ever
had so potent an influence on contem-
porary thought MS Dsrwin's ingenious
theory of the Origin of Species. 1t al
ready permeates the whole world of ma
tural science; it has given valid ground
for real PHILOSOPHY of history; It
has even entered the sacred precincts of
theology. No thinking man can afford
to be ignorant of the facts and argu-
ments upon which II rests; and this
treatise by Prof. Huxley is the fullest
and most popular exposition of them
that has ever been offered. For sale by
VIM. S Alden.
1t would not be risking much to
say that Dan Giddings of Centerburg,
Knox County, Ohio, took from our depot
last week the best carload of ewes
with very few rams that ever left this
place. There were forty yearling ewes
and one superior stock ram from the
flock of Cherbino 81 Williamson of this
place, they being the best of their own
yearling ewes, the best of the flocks of
l. G. Wooster, Mrs. Milo Ellsworth
and c.. II. james, Cornwall. lie also
bought thirteen, including the best OF
the yearling ewes from the flock of +.
u l. E. Moore, one very superior owe
and ram selected from the flock of j.
T. Stickney, Shoreham. and twelve
superior ewes selected from the flock
of L. S. Wright, of Weybridge, max
ing altogether a very choice lot, and
one that cost great deal of m on ey
but Mr.. Giddings is never satisfied UNI
less he takes good ones, cost what they
NAV.
The reopening of the Methodist
Episcopal church in this place occurred
last Tuesday. Several ministers from
different parts of the district were pres
ent and participated in the services.
Rev. Merritt Hulburd, of Burlington,
preached from L Corinthians 1921. |
He showed the failure of men in all |
times to grasp God by philosophy or
by science. Man, the finite can never
reach the infinite by his own efforts. |
But God both revealed his Son unto us
aud through Him we have life and |
The sermon was eloquent |
and powerful and made profound |
At the close of the sermon Prof. II. |
M. Seely made brief report in be-
half of the building committee. He
stated that the repairs had cost about
$4,000, of which all was provided for |
except about $3.50. He referred With
gratitude to the efficient labors of the |
nd 10 l. 90
members of this church, who had gener-
ously shared in the new burdens. At
ter the report, the balance of the debt
was raised by voluntary contributions
on the spot, aud before the sevices
closed the account stood even. The
success thus attained was gratifying to
all concerned.
Rev. L. s. Walker, of Sandy Hill,
N. Y, and formerly of Middlebury,
preached in the evening, from | Cor
Inthians $40, "For we are laborers to-
yether with God" Tho sermon was
both earnest and practical.
Rev. j. +. Yates, former pastor,
preached Wednesday morning from
Gen. 47:8, GLOW old art thou2' The
sermon, 1t is needless to say, was fin
shed, pointed, practical. Rev. j. w.
Bennett followed in the evening with
discourse founded on words!found in st.
John 1910, which was able and very
acceptable 10 all who heard.
Much credit is due the choir who
furnished the music throughout the
ervices. {
