 A large audience gathered at the | Methodist church on Sunday evening, April p, to hear the lecture by Dr W. J. Dedsick of Amenia Union on the Temple in Jerusalem and it's area in the days of Christ. In the opening he said that he had been led to an sxamina- tion of the subject for the reason, that the different statements in the Sunday school lessons for the past two or three years seemed contradictory, and having commenced the study he had followed 1t up because of the large interest con- nected with it. A brief review of the Temple and it's destruction was then given. The specific subject of the even- ing was the temple area rather than the temple building. A clear and concise statement was then made of the temple rounds, beginning first with the exter- for walls and gates next the porticos and porches. Especial attention was riven to Soloman's porch and the royal portico built by Herod. The court of the gentiles, its size and uses, then came under review. A description was then given of the court and Actresses of Au- tona at the North of the temple grounds. The frequent referen- ces to the temple in the New Testa- ment were fully and clearly explained In closing he said the subject called for three rather than one lecture, and that in order to fully appreciate the Temple and all of its appointments, full state ment of it's regular service and one of the great Jewish Feasts celebrated there should be given. In Illustrating the subject two large maps were used, the first one with reference to ''the entire temple area" the second ''the sacred enclosure" The lecture was an exceed ingly interesting one and we are anxious to hear the rest. His lectures are prepar- ed with great care.

 Another of Rents oldest inhabitants has been removed by death. MT Allen Gilbert died, April Is, at the advanced age of 88 yaars. Mir Gilbert was well known here, having been resident of the town, many years. He was a man possessing most excellent qualities, hon. est and upright in his dealings with others, consistent in his ery-day liv- ing. always ready to help where help was needed, kind neighbor, worthy citizen, and more than all, christian. He was member of the Congregational church, and made it 8 point to attend with his family, not only Sabbath services but the weekly prayer meetings also. l Those who knew him in his younger days, speak of him as being very social, | and of lively disposition. He leaves many friends who in his death, mourn the loss of an estimable man, and who l sympathize deeply with the bereaved wife, and the sorrowing son and daugh- 1 ter. For two years past MT Gilbert has | been very feeble, but was able to walk out only few days before his death. | The funeral was very largely attended | at his late home near Macedonia. It | was noticeable that great number of those present were advanced in years, who have long known the deceased and have grown old with him. The services were conducted by Rev Vorce and the remains were inferred in the upper cem- etery In this village. Sc, &C.
