THE PARSONS CORNER.
STANLEY IN DARKEST AFRICA
A. PARSON EDITOR.


STANLEY IN DARKEST AFRICA.
For some days the parson has
been going up the river Congo and
on into the dark forests of Africa
with Stanleys relief expedition.
How vivid is the picture of the
people and their wild home.
What courage, what endurance
Stanley and his men have shown.
And how natural it is that a man
who has seen so much need of
divine help, should give such
testimony to the existence, power
and care of the Almighty God.
On Oct. 9TH, 1887 the expedi-
ton was so reduced that many of
the men were entirely disabled and
Stanley himself was reduced to
two bananas for. one whole days
rations. Faint with hunger they
sat around their camp fire at night
and Stanley was talking to the
men, he said: ''The age of mira
cles is past, it is said but why
should they be? Moses drew
water from the rock at Horeb for
the thirsty 1sraelites. OF water
we have enough and to spare.
Elijah was fed by the ravens at the
brook Cherith, Christ was minis
tered unto by1Angels. I wonder
if any one will minister unto Aus?'
RANDY AND THE GUINEA Fowl.
just then there was the sound of
a large bird whirring through the
air. Little Randy his small dog
lifted up one foot and gazed in
quiringly, and that second the
bird dropped beneath his jaws.
1t was guinea fowl and Mr.. Stan
ley said, ''there boys truly the
Gods are gracious. The age of
miracles is not past" A few days
later they reached village where
there was food in abundance.
VALUE OF SELF-CoNTRoL.-Mr.
Stanley says in letter to the Lon
don Times: ''For myself, 1 lay
no claim to any exceptional fine
ness of nature. But I say that,
beginning life as rough, ill-edu-
Gated, impatient man, I have found
my schooling in these very African
experiences. I have learned by
actual stress of imminent danger
'eF-control is more indispensable {
than gunpowder, and that persist
ont self-control is impossible with
out real, heartfelt sympathy" {

SOUTH HARBOR NOTES.

SOUTH HARBoR, Aug. IS, 1891.
Our crops look well but it is a
little to dry for late potatoes.
Mrs. M. Phalen has gone to
Anoka to visit with her parents.
Mrs. H. j. Hiesland expects to
start on visit to her old home in
Lacrosse, Wis.
A. j. Porter made flying trip
across the lake with the 'tPirate. -
Time best on record.
Among the late arrivals in town
are A. Wilkes, G.. O. Jahr and A.
Fink all with their families.
And now our chat has been a.
pleasant one, and we have MANY
calls to make, SO we bid you adieu
until a later day.
Mr.. Krugen arrived in the big
lake safely with his sail boat the
'Merry." He has been around
the lake three times. His boat is
well furnished with everything
that is needed cookstove and cook
ing utensils, furniture, bedroom
set, etc.
We get our mail once a week
regularly, as the sail boat Lula
makes connections with the stage
at Garrison every Friday; but our
Princeton UNION gets delayed as
we 90 not get it more than eyerv
other week and the delay causes a
great many unpleasant thoughts.
AS it is customary to salute, we
doff our hat and bid you one and
all a good morning. We are from
oouth Harbor, that new town lust
organized up at Mile Laos Lake,
and here is what we have with us:
You may think that we are in q
wild and unciv1lized country but
