SO much ike spring that people have
just worked on as though there was
no hereafter, atmospherically speak,

and predict a hard winter yet. We
will have some sharp weather for q
few days at time, but an extended
''speHrof severe winter now in the
very presence OF opening spring is out
of the question entirely.

srssallin full blast, and are doing their
best work. Yet, some preachers re-
port ouiy one on their circuits which
has not gone into " winter quarters"
six weeks ago. For a Sunday school

back, crosse its arms aud invites the
+" devir' to tie it's hands. and, after
virtually giving him command OF the
flock, rolls its eyes upin holy horror at

wonder there Ia blinking and shooting

church does not entertain the young
