The place God puts US in is the place
of honor, because we are in trust with
great opportunities to magnify that
place.-Nea0 Orleans Christian Advo-
cate. -
A no small trouble is for one to;
know when he is in a certain place
that God put him there. Men gener-S
ally seek q place to suit themselves
and, having found it, hope that God
approves so far as they care anything
about his approval or disapproyal. It.
does not seem hard matter for even
religious men to persuade themselves
that God has had hand in placing
them in certain place specially so
if it be one of honor and fatness- but
a "cross providence" is ''hard to be
understood" What mortals we be-.
The Episcopal church is the oldest
of the Protestant denominations in
this country.-Greenvi Nea0s.
The age of church, like the "hoary
head,"'is "crown of glory If it be
found in the way of righteousness"
While in point of time the age Of a
church should not be overlooked yet
the Ctristia'aity-faith and practice
of church is that by which it should
be judged and on which a church
should base its claim to be of the,
"whole family"
While one church is none the better
or none the worse for being simply
older or younger than another, the
Greenville Neaos might do a favor to a
considerable number of people within
and without the churches by giving
the date of the organization of some
of the older churches in this country
making special note of the oldest.
Personally, we care precious little
about the age of any church; all we
care about the question is to learn the
truth.

Levi Dumbauld .One of our most enter
prising farmers, is putting in a steam

30xSo feet. Mr.. Dumbauld goes on the
| theory that hogs Will be lower, as they
have been in the past, and the lower
the price the more economic the farm
er must be in feeding to get any returns

| twenty-five cents per bushel and hogs
at five cents per pound there is money

with corn at twenty-five cents and hogs
at two and half cents or three cents
economy must be used or the feeder
will be short. The plant will cost over
