There was large congregation assembled
In the East Pearl street NJ. e. church yester-
day morning to listen to the sermon
of the pastor, Rev. A. 81. Goode-
nough, ON the subject: 1.-THE Years Crowns"
His text was these words: "Thou Crownest
the Year with thy Goodness" His subheads |
were as follows: "The Grown of Plenty"
II "The Crown of Beauty" III 1.-THE Grown
of Peace" Nv "The Crown of Intellect"
The other things he said: "Our song to.
day is Harvest Home.'" Perhaps there is
no gladden. song on earth than that. Once
more the fields have been white with harvest. |
Once more the golden grain has been housed.
Once more manly vigor and patient toll have
been crowned with Gods goodness, and our
barns and storehouses are full. Husbandry
is the Oldest and, on the whole, the noblest
industry in the world. God made man a
husbandman. There is dignity in hus-
bandry. It Is consistent with the highest
culture. Some of the worlds noblest scholars
have been masters of the craft. 1t is the in
dispensible craft; it lies fundamental to all
others. The work of the farmer is sacred
calling. Everything else depends on him.
We are workers together, co-laborers in the
cornfeld as well as in the church"
"The Grown of Beauty" I cannot tell how
it Is, but this world is more beautiful to me
to-day than ever before. I do not mean the
fo1ra vuor1d hat ia orOnnG n and tn
US. do not mean the world Of ceremonial
observance-of ugly letters for dress-of
false smiles, of hollow courtesies. 1care less
and less for that troublesome world. But
this great world of wonder and beauty is
taking frmer hold on me. love it; it
helps me, it comforts me.
"The Crown of Peace" Not long since
this continent was uncivilized. Centuries
ago on transatlantic continents empires
rose, flourished and fell. Here is continent
born of liberty; protected by the sea. We
dwell at peace-we are at peace with the
world and have peace at home. We have
our evils as other nations, many and mighty,
but there is enough of virtue and sobriety
and honesty and goodness to preserve peace
| and secure prosperity.
"The crown of intellect" There is no
better bone to a nation than intellect. God
has given to us harvest of intellectual
/ power. We need brains as no other nation

The church was beautifully decorated with
fruits, flowers and vegetables in perfect
keeping with the season of Natures crowns.
In front of the pulpit these decorations from
field and garden were distributed artistically
and in manner to win approval. Upon the
wainscot of the organ loft in the rear of the
pulpit, were many bouquets of late autumn
| flowers. Perhaps the most conspicuous fea-
| ture of the decorations which beautifed the
church, and high up on the wall back of the
organ, was a cross ten feet high and eight
feet broad of various grains and miniature
sheaves.
In the evening large assembly enjoyed
tho Sunday school concert, with music by the
school and choir jointly and some instrument
