As there are quite number of mares
hereabouts sired by the horse Rook Marandi
we give place to the following from the
Michigan Farmer: "a correspondent at
Vernon writes: WAS Rook Marand trot-
ting horse, and if so has he any descend
ants i'm the standard list?' We never heard
of trotting horse of that name. You
probably have in mind the thoroughbred
stallion Rook Marand, once owned in this
city by the Chappell Brothers, who pur-
chased him in Kentucky. He was sold to a
party near Corunna, and some of his daugh-
tiers have been bred to trottng horses. He
was bred by III. p. McGrath, of Kentucky,
and sired by Lexington; dam, Olio, by
Oliver, son of Wagner; I'd dam, Isola, by
Bertrand; Sd dam. Susette, by Aratus, ETC.,
etc. He was quite race horse in his day,
and ran several races Of four-mile heats.
Never heard of any of his descendants
showing an inclination to trot fast"

Michigan Is the banner state of the union
as regards business and crops" said he at
the Wayne Hotel yesterday afternoon.
1.-THE resources of the state are unlimited
and the crops of the state are anxiously in
quired after by people all over the country.
The bulk of business done in the state is
enormous and among travelling and busi-
ness men 1t is well known that Michigan is
among the leaders. From my observation
lately should say that the oat crop will not
be very large this year, owing principally to
the dry time when the seed was planted.
The wheat crop will yield largely and there
will be big fruit crop In my section OF
country, peach and cherry trees are loaded.
OwOssO is growing rapidly and 1t will not
be many years before it and Corunna will
become one city. There are only three
miles between them now and 1t is wonder
full how rapidly homes are springing up
between the two towns. They seem to go
up like mushrooms. There is considerable
talk at the present time about uniting the
two towns and sentiment is growing in
favor of the scheme. That section of the
country is bound to contain large city one
of these days and don't you forget it,"

GOSPEL HALL, WATER AND 18TH STREETS.
The conversion of an engineer and his family
living in South Washington proved blessing
to them and to many others. This engineer
was moved to make amends for his past life.
First he had meeting in his house Then he
rented an old sail loft. Then tent was pro-
vided. For winter purposes the tent was
boarded up. rough floor laid and stove put
in. 1t was very barn-like structure. but the
oyster men from the wharves found it none too
good for them and many of them heard here
for the first time religious services. This
structure remained until the railroad company
since then the branch has rented various small
rooms in the vicinity and has continued to be o
place of successful work.

The Two angels-Faith and Science.
An angel from the gate of heaven few
Ages ago;
And lighting by the cradle Of the race,
He watched, with pity in his radiant face,
The scene below.
Then as the nations grew and wandered forth
Through all the earth,
He followed close with swift unwearied flight
And loving care, through the pTimeval night,
As at their birth.
None saw the form, nor met the plying look
Upon them bent;
But in the depth ofevery human breast,
Each felt the presence of the heavenly guest,
The blessing lent.
Men called it faith in the great Fathers care
For man, His child
The trust of childhood in its heiplessness.
OF nations cropping in the wilderness,
At first SO wild.
Twas the dear angel Faith who that day came
From heavens dome,
To tend us mortals ON lifes weary way,
More gently than the nurse some child astray
From the dear home.
Ages rolled by-another angel few
From the same gate
Swift in the hearts of men the thought awoke
acknowledge vast, as if the morning broke
From darkness late.
Through all the heavens above and earth beneath
The echoes stirred
Voices that called to man TO seek and ind
Traces of law and universal mind,
Before unheard.
Men spoke Of science, or the golden reign
From darkness into light and truth sublime,
Where through the cycles of the ancient time,
Nature seemed dead.
Twas the twin spirit Of the angel Faith
That came at FIRST,
Who now, when all was ripe in heavens plan.
Came swift through time and space TO enlighten
man,
For truth athirst
Men saw the shadow of their wings above,
And were afraid
Sure-Faith and Science meet today in wrath,
To join the battle on an adverse path
They trembling said.
Vain thought 'Twas the glad greeting Of the
The guardians true
Sweet Faith who kindied hope when all was dark,
Aud Science lighting now the electric spark
The worlds to view.
But to the end, tits Faith that leads the way
We mortais take
While Science bids us view the starry SPACE
Faith whispen-we shall see the Fathers faca.
When we awake.

It speaks much for the wisdom and good
management Of the board of directors that so
many branches have sprung up, but have with
out exception been perfectly loyal to the Gen.
trail management No branch has ever shown
any signs OF discomfort or proposed to either
maintain an independent existence or to put
itself under other supervision. The whole mis-

agement, and is held together not by constitu-
tional bonds. but by q voluntary union for
common purpose.

The work in South Washington expanded
and included SO many sections that it was
found necessary to have branches in different
places. In connection with the gospel wagon
meetings at NJ ami AZ streets northwest
many cottage meetings were carried on by a
gospel band" organized for the purpose As
many as half dozen homes became places for
gospel services, and often when crowds could
not get inside the leader would stand in the
door and conduct a meeting half inside and
hall outside. The result of the religious
awakening in this part of the city was that
many churches interested themselves in start
