Winter Reading.

II appears to be notable fact that the
best farmers. and the best stockmen are
the very best friends of newspapers.
It is generally the old fogy and the
nc'er-do-wells. that scoff at "book and
newspaper larnin," and if they are in
duced to take their home county paper
they never read it. The progressive
farmers, those that get thirty bushels Of
wheat to the acre, and own fine, fat,
sleek cattle and horses, are invariably
men whose sitting room table will be
generously supplied with, not only local
newspapers, but agricultural journals,
books relating to stock, to feeding ami
mails, which contain the thoughts and
experiments of able men, who devote
their time and energies to advance the
cause of agriculture and to learn how to
produce more abundant crops, as well rs
to surround their stock with the best
conditions for raising them successfully
and probably.
Every farmer in the Northwest will be
benefited greatly by subscribing to one
or more good agricultural papers, and if
one is published near by it certainly
should be a regular visitor in the family.
The Northwestern Farmer, published
at Fargo, Dakota. is doing good work
throughout the Northwest, and We have
decided to offer it to every old subscriber
as well as to all new subscribers in con.
nection with the PIONEER EXPRESS fol
q year, the subscription being paid in
advance. Or, YOU can order the North.
western Farmer direct from Fargo fol
one dollar per year in advance. We will
have sample copies sent to any address
on application.

juries. He is recovering under the care
of DR.. Mclachlin. Some time ago New

Thanlssrivins Service.

Public service was held at the NJ. E.
church on thanksgiving day, the address
being delivered by Rev. H. G. Baskerville
The NJ. E. church choir rendered an ap-
propriate selection after the opening SER
vice. The Reverned gentleman took his
text from Pc. 50, 10; "that men may know
that Thou, whose name alone is Jahoval,,
art Most High in all the EARTH"
He called attention to the different
names by which God had revealed HIM
self; stating that the name Jahovah is the
name peculiar to God, as Jupiter or Bac-
chus are names assigned to imaginary
deities. It designates Gods independent
and necessary existence; the eternal one,
four whom all things else have been
derived by the fiat ofcreation. Herefer-
ed to Gods dealing with Babylon, under
Nebuchadnezzar, and to the expression
four times repeated. that the Most High
ruleth in the kingdom ofmen, and giveth
it to whomsoever He will. He proceed
ed to say that God was known by His
judgments as seen in the deluge, the de-
struction of Sodom and Gomorrah, the
overthrow of the Canaanites, the disper-
sion of the ten tribes. the judgment upon
Jerusalem, the downfall of the great world
empires. etc, But God was also known
by his benefits. This was theme that
we should delight to dwell upon. He
now proposed to do 80. He would sketch
the mercies and providences of God over
the Anglo Saxon race, and specially over
the great American nation of which We
now formed part.
This was thanksgiving day, and it be-
hoved us to take view of Gods blessings
to the country. He observed that our
constitution and laws were the best in
the history Of the world. They were the
result of the lee scriptu and lec non
scriptu in the English constitution. God
has protected civil and religious liberty,
as appeared in the overthrow of the Span
ish Armada in 1883, and of the Stewart
dynastry in 1888. There was a wonder
full providence later, in the successful re.
bellion against the cncroachments of
British tyranny. Great domains had
been added later to our territory, by the
Florida and Louisiana purchase, and by
the cessions from Mexico. The devel-
opement of the great West wasa marvel
of prosperity and of divine favor. We
were now living in peace,with no plague,
pestilence or famine. The people were
growing in intelligence and the churches
were gathering strength. He hoped, in
conclusion, that none of us would be un-
mindful of Gods benefits, but endeavor
to render him gratitude and service, as it
was our duty and interest to do.
