MIR. Chas. Anderson. The wedding
took place at the residence of Mr.. ID. Al

Mr.. VIM. Fanklin's people from Ster-
ling; Mr.. Elmer Merickle, wife and sis
ter from Medic and Miss Anna Christian

mony ofthe occasion took place at eleven
O'Clock under the management of Elder
ii. Grant, of Medford, after which the
dinner hour was spent to good advant-
age and passed off pleasantly as dinner
usually does on such occasions. The
numerous presents given by attending
guests were much appreciated by their
recipients on account of their practical
and sarviceable nature. On the whole
the affair was pronounced a success at
least by the two most intimately con.
cerned, who contemplate setting up
house keeping in few days. The best

SOUTH BEND, Oct. q, 1889.
| Editor Free Press:
A clergyman preached at South Bead
in the Congregational church last even
ing in reference TO the present drought.
He took his text from Matth A, MAN
| shall not live by bread alone but by
every word that proceedeth out of the
mouth of God" Some of the remarks
were as follows: "These words OF the
text in the face of the present drought
may be comfort to us; especially if we
read the chapter from which they were
quoted, the Sth of Deuteronomy they
may lead us to understand the great
cause of them being spoken. They re-
fer 10 the provision of the Lord for Israel
in the wilderness. 1t looked almost as
bad on Israel after crossing the Red sea
as if in their former bondage. They
would be kept alive III Egypt but in the
wilderness they would die of hunger.
Moses said, That he might make thee
know that man doth not live for bread
only, but by every word that proceedeth
out of the mouth of the Lord doth man
live" God commanded the clouds to
give mamma and the rock to give water.
Sustenance came in manner and from
"a quarter no man looked Tor and | just
tell YOU here tonight friends that Moth
ing but religion and good common sense
will uphold us In the near future that
awaits us all. The world has gone SO
reckless and inconsiderate that some
change will take place TO convert it full

many time but henceforth | believe
will not. We must renounce our sins il
we have any, TO be prepared for the
coming emergency. | do not believe
that any man that commits ain will be
able to withstand the"end fthe world
The clergyman referred to believes that
the lend of the world is change oil
temperature, winters becoming mild
and summers losing their extensive
heat. And he believes the present
winter will be milder even than last.
