From The Marshfield Times.

@~@~S~ o11AASANA
Mr.. Upham has finished off two
rooms in rear of library hall, that
would do credit to any city. Mr..
David Arnoldson, who has charge of
the warehouse, has one, and doctor
Lathrop occupies the other He is
pleasantly located
Mr.. Phillip Jacobus and a young
lady whose name we were unable to
learn, were married on Monday last.
Phillip is one of our substantial har-
ness makers, and owing to his attention
to the now happy bride, he of course
was obliged to neglect the harness
business, until he should harness up.
He now has all he can attend to.
Blessings were called down upon
Marshfeld bv two honest farmers,
last Tuesday, after they tipped load
of hay into the mud and water near
Upham's store. One fellow COM
menced with Upham and went clear
through to the discovery of America.
The other looked at the wagon,
then at the combination of wagon,
then at the combination of wagon,
oxen, mud, water and hay, then he
emtpied his mouth of a whole German
dictionary. Finally they loaded up
the mixture and sadly meandered to-
wards home.

The announcement Of the news oil
the death of Mr.. Frank Brown,
formerly of DexterviIle, reached US as
we were going to press last Thursday
morning, too late to make mention of
the fact at that time. He and his
wife, formerly Miss Phoebe Hiles were
at Winona, on their way home in
Minnesota and obliged to remain il
Winona on account of the trains being
snow bound Er Brown had lump
on the large cords of his neck and he
thought he would have an operation
performed while he was in reach of
good physicians. He did so and it
resulted in his death. His mother
was telegraphed for and arrived just
two hours before his death. His
remains were taken to Beaver Dam,
this state, where his parents reside.

went to them with Tdcts--tacts con-
corning Jesus whom God had annointed
to reveal to men the truth and the life.
who was proved to be such notwith-
standing he was crucifed-for that he
rose from the dead.
This was all news to the men of
Corinth as it is not to the men of
Berlin and Grand Rapids. But see
again, hoac Paul worked to commend
his news, and persuade men. If
ssChrist and him crucifed" aCas his
one theme, yet he reasoned about it,
called upon his PHILOSOPHY" and his
''scicnce" to aid him-addressed him
self in long letters to the task of
reproving, exhorting, and instructing.
IN all sorts Of matters.
If any will read through those two
letters to Corinth he will find that
''nothing but Christ and him crucifed"
included about all that men thought
of or knew anything Of, in those
days.
That wonderful 18th chapter of the
1st Letter, does not even mention
Christ and him cruciied. And yet
all the world calls it the cream of
Pauline literature. 1t is the pro-
foundest system of moral science
applicable TO all PHASES and concerns
of human life.
And as to healing wounded spirits
and binding broken hearts-those who
claim, with no little arrogance that
they preach the Gospel and not some
thing about the Gospel, or that they
want the Gospel and not something
about it-have no monopoly of that
angelic ministry and love service.
The binding of broken hearts and
refreshing of thirsty spirits is matter
of personal JoUe is the outflow Of
the Christ-spirit, and not any mere
talk be it gospel, or only something
about it. The writer has found NOR,
people who had been troubled and
perpleued and confused by those who
boast of knowing nothing but Chris
and him crucifed, than such as have
been comfortcd and illumined by them
And it has been his exceeding Joy
even by the help of philosophy anc
science. to pour light and gladness into
such souls, and make the Christ o.
the New Testament the altogether
lovely one in their eyes.
But I am taking too much of you
space.
The above from Herford is all right
with his idea but in the popular mine
it is chiefly sentiment-with no basis
of real thought or intelligent con
viction.
And If in the want of tract tt
help brother he had no true anC
strong and loving words out of hi'
own soul { he could have writer
them down if needed } SO much tn
worse for Mr.. HEREFORD.
