OF Christian progress is the prize, "The
prize OF the high calling Of God in Christ
Jesus" And what is this calling but to the
perfection OF our being2 To be like Christ
is the end Of life, and its crown and glory.
That we should strive for the things which
are before Is true OF associate as well as
individual life. 1t is true Of the churches
OF this community. Your problem is in the
future. The sermon was in DR.. Brastow's
best vein, and was one of unusual eloquence
and power.
An unusually exciting runaway took place.
Monday morning. A pair of horses, at
tache1 to a Transfers wagon filled with
furniture, had been placed in charge OF a
small boy for few moments, when they
took fright at something and dashed furious
y down Centre street. As they turned the
corner OF Centre street and College, turning
east, the wagon swung around and struck
the carriage OF Mrs. NJ. N. Villas, which hap
pened to be standing in front Of Mr.. William
SCOTS book bndery, overturning both the
carriage and horse on the pavement Mrs
Villas, fortunately, had not entered her car
rage, although just on The point OF doing
50, and thus escaped what might have been
very serious injuries. The boy on the load
OF furniture hung bravely to the reins OF the
them upon the sidewalk in front of Smiths
feed store, where both horses were violently
thrown, and the boy pitched of the load.
When the damages came to be sized up, they
were found to be much smaller than might
have been expected. The hind axle of Mrs
Vlss's carriage was broken, and one OF the
runaway team was bleeding from the
mouth and nose. The plucky little driver
was uniniured, and, strangely enough, the
only articles Of furniture that were frightened
enough to Jump Of the load were kitchen
chair and a bed slat. 1t is fortunate that no
lives were lus;, as the runaways evidently
meant business.
