doned, while the central cross pours
upon your soul the sunburst of heaven
as it says: ''By all these wounds l
plead for thy heart. have loved thee
with an everlasting love. Rivers can
not quench it. Floods cannot drown
it." And while you look, the right
hand cross will fade out of sight, and

dream. In this our most aroused
mood we throw down at the foot
of that middle cross sin, sorrow, life,
death, everything. We are slaves;
Christ gives deliverance to the captive.
We are thirsty; Christ is the river of
salvation to Stake our thirst. We are
hungry; Jesus says: II am the bread

resurrection and the life; he that be-

peace with God through our Lord Jesus

thou shalt be saved" | want to get
from under condemnation: There is
now. therefore, no condemnation to
them who are in Christ Jesus" The
cross-he carried it. The flames of
hell-He suffered them. The shame
He endured it. The crown-He won
it. Heights of heaven sing it, and
worlds of light to worlds of light All

Judd, formerly publisher of the Amer.

years ago lie failed for $4,000 w,tl,

to Chicago. Such a colossal failure
might well cause suspicion as to his

found resorting to such mean lodges

Eiltor PIONEER ENTREES
AS Mr.. Godfrey who formerly lived in
your vicinity, but now in this country, ex.
pressed the wish that might write an
article for your paper, giving some facts
about this region. chcerfully comply, if
it can afford any information to any
who are Wishing to learn of the South.
l have been here with my family most
1G months, came from the State of Maine,
as missionary pastor to the people on
this plateau. This is very desirable
climate. We are 1000 feet above the
sea level OH the Cumberland plateau,
which contains 500 square miles, about
one hundred and twenty miles from
Nashville, Tenn. There is no malaria
here, no epidemics. The air and water
are the rurest possible. There is free
range for cattle over this plateau where
they grow and fattell. Land is cheap
and know of both improved and un-
improved which would make delightful
homes which can be bought at a low
figure from one dollar to ten per acre.
We hayc an excellent school eight
months of the year at Pleasant Hill,
where we reside.
The soil is not so rich as some parts of
the west, but the people raise fine crops
OH new land for a number of years with
out manure; but if very little manure
is put on it is surprising what difference
1t makes with corn and all other crops
yet few use it. This is the home for
fruits, and honey, and fine country to
raise poultry and hogs, which fatten
on nuts. l am having charge of the
building Of Il fine house here at Pleasant
Hill for two schools and sabbath services,
80 feet by II. If any wish to learn
further about this country with the idea
of coming here to enjoy this delightful
climate ofshort winters and cool sum-
mers, shall be happy to give them the
light they seek. 1t is II miles to Sparta,
our. nearest railroad. Come by way of
Nashville Tenn, and Tullahomat Sparta
and teams will be there to take YOU
up the Mountain I know of several
fine places near by to be sold
cheap by the native people. The native
people are kind and good neigh.
bors and we have several intelligent and
cultivated northern families, and give
strangers hearty welcome to share with
us in this genial and lealthful air and
water. This is great country for wild
flowers. The woods and timber land in
spring are filled with the perfume.

Governor Pierce is doubtless an nc.

we sympathize with him in the feel.
ing he must have from the awkward
chunks of taffy which he is compelled
to endure from certain class of

that he is expected soon to resign; for
the self-respect of SO brainy a man

G. S. Goss. of Boston, well known

number of copies paper prints, al.
though an important point, is not the
only one by which to judge of it's
worth us an advertising medium. The
character, influence, and standing of
the paper in a community are all
equally important factors in dctermin-
ing its value rs a medium by which to
communicate with the people of the
section in which the paper circulates.
Experience teaches that careful edi.
torial guidance and sllperlative care

advertising columns much more val.

upon sales effected through making a

and careful of it's assertions, as all adj.

Hon. Hugh Sutherland, president OF

Hon. Hugh Sutherland, president of
the Hudson Bay r. r. company, was
interviewed last week by reporter of
the Winnipeg Free Press. He thinks
the road will be built in less than two
years. In regard to the navigability
OF Hudson straits he says: "Like
many other situations, more init.
mate acquaintance with the actual
nature Of the ice in Hudson's straits
removes nearly all the terrors and
difficulties supposed to be connected
with the navigation of those waters.
There is nothing surprising in seeing
ice there during any of the
spring months, or even as late us June
OF July. Much of the ice coming
down from Fox's Channel, is discharg-
ed into the ocean through Hudsun's
Strait, and the period, as we'll as the
extent Of it's flow, varies according to
the character Of each particular season.
The spring flow may all be down by
May OF June, or it may be as late as
July; and the fall flow may set in in
October, November or even as late as
December. But in any case it is not
rs terrible us most writer's leave one
to imagine, nor as terrible as it sounds.
Heretofore the navigation of Hud.
sons straits has been confined exclu.
sively to sailing vessels of small ton.
mage. The story that these have ut
times been besct in the ice, drifting
helplcssly about, suggests terrors which
have no existence except in the imagi.
nation. They have been detained
most probably, as it does not require
very tight ice to hold a sailing vessel.
But there are no dangers, and deten.
ion is the worst that happens. Those
delays would almost entirely disappear
before ocean steamships. I have al
ready made it clear that a ship is
actually in less danger of accident or
misllap of any kind in ice than out of
it. y broken propeller blade is the
worst injury that can happen to ship
i'll going through Hudson's Strait ice,
i'll every Other respect it is as safe as
in port. 1t is quite mistaken notion
therefore, to connect with the navi.
CATION of those waters, thoughts of
hardships and damages such as are
usually associated with Arctic ex.
plorations; the exaggeration is both
