condition Of. Christian life.' Each one of
this series OF sermons is replete with thought
and delivered in an extremely able manner.
| The speaker insisted that the great scientific
| truth: that use will strengthen every mem
| Der of the body, while idisease will enervate,
and finally, after enough generations, destroy
| a member, was as true In the spiritual king
dom as in the natural kingdom.
The base ball nine played at North Wind
ham last Saturday, and did not enhance their
| hitherto excellent reputation, furnishing an
| other Illustration that exercise is condition
| of success in any thing.
: AT the church on Friday evening Rev. Mr..
Bean will deliver lecture on 1.-THE Devil In
| black and white, or the corrupt in literature
and art" The proceeds will be for the bene.
