IT is the law OF human need on which

Haryests of the world.

LONDON, July 24.-The Times
summarizes the harvest prospects OF
the world as follows:
I'm Russia there is a grave deficit,
the peasantry are starving, and
there is small hope of relief. In
India there is serious anxiety; a
famine prevails over a considerable
portion of the country. Madras,
Rajputaua aud through Punjale are
the worst sufferers. There is
drought in Bengal, and the need OF
more rain is urgent. Bombay alone
promise, good harvest.
The American harvest will be good
in quality and amount, but with the
failure of the Indian and Russian
supplies it is of the utmost impor-
lance that the English crop shall
not be short. The prospect on the
whole is good. In the chief wheat
counties-Essex, Norfolk and Suf-
folk-the crop is above the average,
and in other counties up to the aver
age. The harvest will be late and
prices will be high There is, there
fore, good outlook for the English
farmer to break the long series OF
disastrous years.

The wheels Of the world 20 round and
round,
In the press Of a busy throng,
Morn with its matin melody,
And night with its yesper song;
The tides are out and the tides are in,
Like the sea in its ebb and flow,
For there's always one to stay at home
Where there is one to go.
Abroad on the highways noisy track
There is rush OF hurrying feet,
The sparks fly out from the wheels of
time
To brighten the bitter and sweet;
But apart from the beaten road or path,
Where the pulse of earth runs slow,
There is always one to stay at home
While there is one to go.
Over AMI over good-bys are said
In tests that die with the day.
When eyes are wet that cannot forget,
And smiles have faded away.
Smiles that are worn as over grave,
Flowers will blossom and blow;
For there's always one to stay at home
When there is one to go.
Always one for the little tasks
OF a day that are never done,
Always one to sit down at night
And watch with the stars alone.
And he who fights on the worlds broad
field
With banner, and blast, and drum,
Little dreams Of battle gained
By the one who stayed at home.

REV. G. g. wEsTFALL RESIGNS
From the Pittsburg Church lie Has
Served So Long.
Pittsburg Post

Pittsburg Post.
There is considerable hard feeling
existing between the members and
the pastor of the Fourth Methodist
Protestant church ON Park avenue in
the East End Both parties to the
difficulty are exceedingly reticent in
expressing themselves One thing
is certain. a new preacher will occu
Ply the pulpit after September.
Rev. G. G. Westfall, who has been
pastor of the church for nearly seven
years, resigned bis charge last Sun
day. Monday evening following at
meeting of the board of trustees the
resignation was accepted unanimous
ly. When the resignation was read
from the pulpit on Sunday Rev. West
fall expressed extreme sorrow at his
leaving. He said he would rather
stay, but some members of the church
having objected, he considered it
were best for him to go. BY this
course he thought he could leave
without causing any more trouble.
The prompt acceptance of his resig
nation is said to have been favorably
received by the 200 odd members of
the church. IL was said further that
only a dozen or so of the members
desire Mr. Westfall to remain. He
will, however, Gil his position until
September, when the Methodist Pro
testant conference will meet and APP
point his successor.
Rev. Westfall resigned three months
ago for the same reasons he gave on
Sunday. But the trustees at meet
ing reelected him. When the min
lister was informed of this decision
he decided to remain. Then he learn
ed that more objections were made
to his administration Of the gospel,
wbereupon he resigned again. This
statement is made on the authority
of VIM, McMannigle, a trustee, who
was seen by reporter. He said; Il
believe the church would be much
benefited by Rev Westfall leaving"
What are the objections?' he was
asked.
"Oh, well, we would rather he
would leave"
John Gibson of Lincoln avenue,
secretary of the board of trustees,
gave The same reasons as Mr. McMan-
nigle. He thought that few mem
bers of the church were friendly to
Rev. Westfall. A. II. Davidson, an
other member, was ready to tell his
objections. Said be: REV. Westfall
has not been in my house to pray or
talk for over II year. He has not no
ticed my wife nor family when he
met any of them on the streets for
months. In other ways he has slight |

he drove me from the church. / am

When a call was made at Rev |
Westfall's house the reverend gentle
man was away at the bedside of a |
sick child. His daughter, Mrs. Elem
ing, refused to express an opinion
She said her father also would have
nothing to say.
