EDITOR RECoRD-AmOng the many

whose Inhabitants consist principally of

scarcely find one exhibiting stronger in
d%ications of the industry and prosperity
Of its people than Pedricktown, and
this is no doubt largely owing to the
fact that 1t is comparatively free from
The curse of in'emperance, and its at
tendant evils. Having no legalized rum
traffic in their midst, her people are not
tempted te spend their time in idleness
OIL their earnings in drunkenness and
debauchery, but being sober and indus
trious they are consequently thrifty
and prosperous. and spend their earn
ings in providing comforts, convenient
ces, and adOrnments for their homes,
thereby promoting their enjoyment and
contentment. During the recent past
a number of very fine dwellings have
been erected, others have been repaired,
painted, and improvements added,
which has greatly increased the at
tractive appearance of the town, if fur

viding in the day of prosperity, for a

Our Baptist friends having not long
since built a new and beautiful house
of worship, have recently completed
their new parsonage which, together
with the church has wonderfully i'm
proved the appearance of that part of
the town. The Methodists, while they
have every advantage in point of loca-
tion, being pleasantly and conveniently
situated neal the centre of the town,
their house of worship is far behind the
times in artistic design and modern
conveniences, and there seems to be a
want on the part of the society, of that
enterprising advancement, so charac-
teristic of Methodism elsewhere. While
attending service there recently, as we
occasionally do as well as at the Bap-
fist church, we could not but notice
the great need of improvement in every
arrangement of the house, and the
question presented itself to us, in the
midst of all these surrounding evi.
dences of general prosperity, why should
this be so. In view of the enterprising
activity the Baptists are manifesiing,
we could not avoid the conclusion that
unless the Methodists bestir themselves
they will erelong have to take second
place in the line of religious societies.
Since writing the above we learn the
Methodists are contemplating and have
already taken preliminary steps toward
enlarging, undermining, and beautify-
ing their church. We shall await de-
velopments with great interest, hoping
they may not only retain their place as
the leading church, but be found i'll the
very near future. far in advance of
their present position, not only in the
line of temporal improvements, but in
spiritual power, and religious influence
in the community. ONWARD.
