For his discourse, Elder Davis
chose the following text from the
twenty-frst chapter of Job:
Wherefore do the wicked live,
become old, yea, are mighty in
power? The houses are safe from
fear, neither is the rod Of God
upon them. They send forth their
little ones like a flock, and their
children dance. They take the
tlmbrel and harp, and rejoice st
the sound ofthe organ. They spend
their days in wealth, and in mo-
ment go down to the grave. There
fore they say unto God. Depart
from us; for We desire not the
knowledge of thy ways"
The address that followed was
largely made up of quotations on
the dance question from eminent
authorities, interspersed with log
lcal arguments against the dance as
a social evil. Elder Davis describ-
ed the church as u community of
Christians, gathered together for
the purpose of spiritual and moral
culture and engaged solely
Ia good work, the object of living
purely being to secure eternal life.
On the other hand the public dance

An enormous hay cropis one Of sat
isfactions the country will have for
enduring phenomenally wet May,
June and July. The dry weather of
April made the outlook for this crop
doubtful, and as it is one OF the most
important to the Eastern farmer the
cool temperature of May and the
plentiful rainfall were eagerly wei
coined. All through New England
the yield is a big one, the only
trouble now being the lack of dry,
warm days, in which to cut the grass
and secure the hay. There will also
be a great yield of aftermath, en-.
abling the farmers to pasture their
cattle until late in the season and
patch out the short supply of other
crops. Nature always has its COM
pensations, and big yield of hay in
a wet season is one OF them.

RAIN, RAIN, RAIN.

July beats the record for floods. The
last day of July was pour-down,
extending from Lynchburg, Va, to
Portland, Me. All through Mary
land the waters were high, flooding
fields, destroying crops, and
damaging property especially hard
on farmers. The Monocacy bridge
at Frederick was washed away. The
rain storm in New Jersey was
terrific, aud many dams and bridges
were destroyed. Fredericksburg,
Va, was flooded, so Danville and
Lynchburg. In Delaware the peach,
melon and corn crops suffered from
washings.
The severity of the storm in Della
ware and Maryland was almost IN
precedented. The peach crop is re-
ported ruined, bridges, dams and
railroads are washed out and sub
merged and grain fields and
orchards are flooded so badly that
the loss will be enormous.
Plainfield, n. j., suffered severely,
eight dams in and around the town
bursting and flooding the surround.
ing country, undermining houses and
sweeping away many bridges 1t is
thought that the loss in and around
Plainfield will aggregate S150,000.
In Newark and Orange, Paterson
and Passic the damage was also ex.
tenSiye.
In Penn, the rainfall was very
heavy. Many houses and mills
along tue Brandy wine, in the viclni.
ty of West Chester and Downing
town, were flooded, and business
was seriously interrupted. AT Eas-
ton the rapid rise of the rivers
checked railroad traffic and compell-
ed partial suspension of business,
while at Williamsport the bridges
over the Susquehanna had to be
ballasted with heavily laden coal
cars. A large section of the Schuyl-
kill Valley, in the vicinity of Norris
town and Conshohocken, is almost
entirely under water.
