anthem. The next speaker was the
Rev. j. Hewett, superannuated min
lister. In introducing him ihc chair
man said, eve have with us tonight
more than what we had in early
days, superannpated minister. This
thirty years have brought" The
Rey. gentleman in arising said there
was . time IN his life when he felt
large but now he felt small. Ever
since his heart was changed 10y Gods
grace he had felt little, He felt he
was in an awkward place; with lit
tie abilities and a short time allotted
hm--only ten minutes--to advocate
a great cause. But he loved the
cause and was not ashamed of little
things, especially the denomination
to which he belonged. His words
were certainly rebuking to any who
might be ashamed of their church
because of it's littleness.
The preacher in charge next ad-
dressed the assembly and in a few
words brought the speaking to a
close.
A collection and subscription
were taken and the amount realized
was over $4,000. The singing was
excellent, the speaking was we'll
received and all seemed to be well
PLEASED. The amount realized was
considerably in advance Of the last
few years.

Thus says the Galena Gazette
"Mr. Fred Phillips, the popular and
efficient telegraph operator, who has
had charge of the instrument at the
Chicago, Milwaukee & Northwest
ern Narrow Gauge depot in this city,
for several months past, left town
this morning for Montfort to assume
the duties of assistant station agent
at that place, to which position he
was recently promoted at an adyanc-
ed salary. Montfort is now one Of
the most important stations on the
Narrow Gauge Branch, requiring a
force Of six men in the railroad
Office to do the work. The promo
ton of Mr. Phillips, who will prove
an efficient aid, will be hailed with
light by his many friends both on
and off the road.

who can indiscriminately pick up.a
beau on tho public high way without
disregarding herself and proclaim
ing reckless disregard for the rules
Of society, which is the first step to
ruin I Chastity is the jewel OF 6
woman's character, which is essen
tial to all other female virtues, and
she can only retain it by chastity OF
thought and action. The moment
that she advertises to the public that
her acquaintance is public property,
she becomes a practical free lover.
The least divergence from the strict
part of propriety and decorum is
dangerous. People do not generally
go to crime by leaps, they go sradu-

harmless Emergencies. Young ladies
should remember that no worthy

even the unworthy have no respect

one passenger train leaves now in

go by way of Milwaukee they can
do so. This train returns at 1856

Annual Missionary M g o ting.

The annual missionary meeting at
the Primitive Methodist church last
Sabbath evening was quite success.
Just at six o'clock the minister in
charge arose in the pulpit and said.
''The Ecumenical Methodist confer
ence held in London in September
last confined the speakers of that
august assembly TO ten minutes for
the longest speeches and five min
utes for the shortest. read Coun-
ellor Waddy's five minute speech
and thought it contained as much as
many long speeches. The speaker
was Wesleyan local preacher.
Now the speakers tonight are all
local preachers or have been 80 fol-
lowing Councillor Waddey's exam
pie you may expect very much to be
said by each speaker in the ten min
utes allotted him this evening. |
now give the meeting into the
charge of Bro. Allen Sr. who is the
Chairman for the evening"" Mr.
Allen then opened the meeting by
announcing the familiar hymn, GAIL
hail the power of Jesus name" The
singing led by the choir was thrill
ling. Prayer was offered by the
Chairman after which the choir sang
an anthem.
The Chairman in his address re-
ferred to the early days OF tho soci-
ETY. and some of the workers who
have passed to enjoy the fruits of
mission labor forever and ever. He
said this is coming back to old
methods. At the first the local
brethren with the minister in charge
used to hold the meetings at the
various appointments in the circuit.
For years ministerial deputation had
taken the work in their hands but
now it ls as of old. He looked at
the work of the past and said, "It
has not been in vain" Geo. Brewer
lately of Laxey, next addressed the
congregation. He did not profess
to be speech maker, but was will
ling to do what he could to hep
forward the noble work He would
impress the thought upon each mind
of the importance Of each becoming
a true missionary. This he illustrat-
ed by very beautiful anecdote of
young lady who consecrated her all
to Christ. The choir gave another
beautiful anthem, after which p.
Allen Jr. was called to address the
congregation. He spoke of his love
for mission work, especially the for
eign work. He referred to a speech
made in that house many years ago
by returned missionary from India.
That made him feel as if the foreign
work was all, but he had learned by
experience and observation that we
have a great field for mission labor
at home. We have heathens in the
centers Of civilization and Christian
privileges. We need not 60 to
China, 60 TO Chicago, Milwaukee,
St. Louis and the other centers Of
cur country. He did not disparags
tie foreign work, but the home
work is vast and pressing. He
turned cur thoughts away, from the
method we had adopted of stunning
cities, to their great centers as the
places for our efforts.
J. Pearce in very neatly prepar-
ed speech show ed what mission work
meant and then urged the friends to
do heir best.
Tie choir gave another beautiful

THE man who saves something
every year is Oh the road to pros
perity. 1t may not be possible to
save much. If not, save a little.
Do not think dollar or dime is
too small a sum to lay by Every
body knows that small expenditures
get away with large sums. But few
seem to know that it is rule that
will work both ways. If dime
here and dollar there, soon makes
a large hole in mans income, so do
dimes and dollars laid away soon
become a respectable accumulation.
