for holding the Harvest Home in Div.
er's woods. While there were not so
many present in the morning yet about
100 took dinner.
As Rev. G. M. Boswell did not arrive
In the morning Rev. b. c. Lippincott
spoke for about an hour before dinner,
giving much wholesome adaice in his
| usual humorous manner.
He wanted all to be full of sunshine
as God intended us to he happy. When
we get To worrying over life affairs we
often get SOL like honny clauber. God
las a purpose in every mar and woman.
| We will be successful in doing good to
one another 81 long as we do Gods
will. Life consists of little things and
every one can do some small act or say
some kind word to make those around
them happy and bring a great deal of
cheer and comfort. He exhorted old
men to stop getting old and be young.
He was go, but only Is lin spirit and
intended to stay young by associating
with young people and teaching them
In the Sunday school. He believed
there was something in the old proverb:
Laugh and grow fat"
His advice to the girls was to look
out when n young man gets .loOking
around among the girls and see whether
he was good for anything or only a tri-
| fer. He believed in blood and fam
| lily based on righteousness. If a young
man likes a girl find out how much he
| likes her. Be like the girl who, whena
| young man said he loved her dearer
than life, asked him to throw his tobac-
co away. Stop think and consider to
avoid such a mistake in marriage as
the person reported in Mondays papers
did. They became dissatisfied with
one another and the wife said they
would settle it by trading off. She
would take anOthers man and he could
| TAXI the other mans wife.
Everybody should be useful and
young girls should be more than parlor
ornaments. When Lyman Beecher
wanted a wife he selected one from
among his congregation and made a
call on Monday morning and found her
| at the wash tub. Instead Of apologize
ing she Kept on washing and when he
told her he wanted her for a house,
keeper she accepted and became the
mother of the large Beecher family.
He wanted no apOlOgists. BE manly
| and wOmanly and not afraid to work.
Character is everything to a young lady
and is only founded on truth and
righteousness. Be good, but be good
for something.
In the afternoon there was a good
audience present, who listened to the
music of the PENIS Grove Band and
while they were disappointed in the
absence of the speaker expected, yet
they were entertained by the hulnor-
GUS speech of Rev. VIM. Mitchell on
Babies. Rev. G. NJ. Boswell, who vas
expected to give a lecture Oh his trip to
the Yosemite had sent a telegram he
could not come, as a little girl had ar
rived at his house about noon. This
suggested the subject for the Dominic.
In the evening "a large crowd was
present and witnessed the most enjoy
able entertainment given by the Peak
