MENTOR.

MENTOR.
Nsntsr folks all well again as far as
we know.
The first day of March got its back up
somewhat and acted something like a
blizzard, bat settled down again in nice
shape.
The new county schems is breaking
everybody up in these parts. It ought
to break into thousand pieces the man
that originated it.
Warner VrOman. township treasurer,
goes to Chsboygan Tuesday to settle with
the county.
There is Just 55 Mentor men, all tax
payers, that are ready to sign rsmon-
STRANGE against the new county scheme.
When Indian River people are willing
to locate the county seat centrally we
will talk with them, and not until then.
Geo. Culver and wife, +. H. Pike and
wife, and many others, passed by on
Monday to attsad the great Mentor mu-
steal and dramatical club entertain
ment.
Fred Weber is still swearing about
those concert bills. Fred, let up.
Hayden Spencer and Geo. Culver and
wife went to PetOskey on Friday. We
understand Mrs. Culver is to remain and
visit friends for short time.
From politics to the stage. Were
noxt?
Joe Spencer thinks it would DO an ex-
pensiye luxury to start a new county for
the sole benefit Of few property holders
in Indian River and few political dead
heads through the country, whe
support the scheme with view to Sc
curing county office to live out Of. Joe
should be taken care Of; he is evidently
crank of the first water.
We understand that the Mentor must

Mr.. Beechcr's First Sermon.

The account which you send of
my "first sermon" is more nearly
true than most stories of me. My
brother George wished to be away
a Sunday, and was requested by
him to supply his pulpit Text, SER
mon, and all attendant circum-
stances are gone from my memory,
except the greenness-no doubt of
that. My earliest remembered adj
dress was given at Brattleboro, Yer
mont, on temperance, when | was III
my junior year at Amherst College.
But my earliest remembered SER
mons were ut Northbridgc, Massa
chusetts where | taught school for
three months, in 1881. | conducted
conference meetings almost every
night, and temperance address at
Upton, Mass, when old Father
Wood was pastor, in his church. In
the winter of 1882 taught in Hop
kinton, Mass, and carried on revival
meetings every night and preached
on Sundays, The people were plain
and simple, and liked the eilusions.
During the winter of 1888 | again
taught school at Northbridgc, and
made q formal sermon in a chapel
over the new store built by the
Messrs. Whitins. Thence | went to
Lane Seminary, near Cincinnati.
and occasionally preached in small
places. When in 1897 / was ready
to leave the seminary | went over to
Covington, Ky, and preached in
the Presbyterian Church for several
Sundays, and expected to form Il
church there and remain; but q call
from Lawrcnceburg, Ind, was made
and | was soon settled there for two
years and over. Thence to Indian
apolis for eight years, and in Octob-
er, 1917, | came to Brooklyn. ! have
been preaching over fifty years. My
next call and settlement will proba-
bly, be in Greenwood.-Brooklyn

Lightly the breeze blew in and stirred

And in the distant copse we heard

Blown softly out upon the air.
Some spell was on us, strange and sweet
Too strange for words too sweet for

Our trembling glanccs dared not meet,
For in our heart there throbbcd and beat
A sudden host Of hope and fears.
And so we sat, apart, alone,
With cheeks that burned we knew not

Nor guessed that as the hour flew on
A flash of wings had come and gone,
And Love himself had passed us by.

Without thee what were life?
One bliss cannot leave behind:
I'll take-my-precious-wife!
The angel took a sapphire pen
And wrote in rainbow dew.
The man would be boy again,
And be husband, too,
"And is there nothing yet unsaid
Before the change appears?
Remember all their gifts have fled
With those dissolving years.
"Why, you," for memory would recall
My fond parental joys:
Il could not bear 10 leave them all
I'll take my girl and boys"
The smiling angel dropped his pen,
"Why, this will never do:
The man who would be a boy again
And be father, too"
And so | laughed my laughter woke
The household with its noise.
And wrote my dream when morning
70 please the gray-haircd boys.
