honored Us with their presence-from Ken

The occasion was made interesting by
the presence of ven Past Masters. and
the Grand Chaplain and the District Depu-
ty Grand Master. The work in the first
degree was exemplifed by Eggemoggin
Lodge in very excellent manner. The
work was to be followed by criticism, but
all declared 1t to be above criticism. At
high twelve adjourned to the Grange hall,
for dinner.

Some Stubborn Thing ;cr Non
Church GoeLs

1T Is with great effort that the
churches to-day hold their maximum
strength and numbers, without gaining any
addition to their congregations and church
members"
So reads the opening paragraph of the
article reformation" published in the
AMERICAN of Jan. 81, ls9e
Such an opening goes far toward caus-
ing an utter distrust with reference to all
that may follow. Let facts speak for
any unfavor,h,. o-,. y rchester is rec
simply to give some of these Ny do. nv
After studying carefully the period from
1900 TO 1850 he says: We have here evil
dence of remarkable growth of 10000
churches. % 900 ministers, and nearly
$500 900 members 10 fifty years. or 500
churches and 60, 900 members annually"
After like careful study of the follow
Ing twenty years he says I'm the two de-
cades (ls50-ls70) the number of the
churches increased nearly 81 900; the min
listers. % 900, and the communicates over
3, 100, 900, or about as much as in the pre-
vious fifty years-a most surprising fact"
Then review of ten years leads him to
say The remarkable growth of the pre-
vious periods seems not to have fallen of
In the years since 1870, for the gain from
1870 TO 1880 was equal TO that of the first
fifty years Of the century, carrying the
numbers of the evangelical communicates
in the United States up to ten millions-an
increase OF about twenty seven fold since
1900" ...
But his study extends still later and
from 1880 to 1886, six years, 2 ,066 SOS com
municants are added to evangelical
churches. Let single table prepared by
DR.. Dorchester emphasize what has been
presented.

By The Sea.

BY THOS. A. CRABTRFE.
I'm standing by the sea
A mist hangs DER the waters blue,
| look and look. no distant view.
Where can the bound'ry be:
I'm walking on the strand
The pebbles glisten at my feet,
just where the rising waters meet
And kiss the burning sand.
But 10. the mist is flown
On wings. up, up. to misty air.
And ail the ocean, bright and fair,
Shines like Jewelled throne.
Thus, on life's rolling wave,
A mist shuts out the distant view.
Though faith perchance may pierce i
through,
And look beyond the grave.

"All persons" he says, familiar with
the history of Christianity will agree that
the above exhibit of religious progress
cannot be paralleled in the history Of Gods
kingdom il any land or any age. 1t is all
the more remarkable because only about
ninety years ago it was a common boast of
ntidels that Christianity would not sur
yive two generations in thiscountry In
stead of that, Christianity, since then, has
achieved her grandest triumph. How Of
ten has the progress of Christianity in the
apostolic age been cited a. a marvel of
growth which the church Of our times
should emulate. Such persons forget that
the growth of the churches Of the United
States in this century has far transcribed
that of the first Christian celturies."
DIR. Dorchester then turns 20 the "Popu-
lation Test" saying, I'm cUntry Of such
marvellous growth, where s. many things
SO luxuriantly flourish, thGe are strong
competing forces. and Christianity is sub
jected to severe crucial tests The popu-
lation test is one of the mostlegitimate as
well as one of the severest. If Christian
ity would fulfill its long a'owed predic-
tions Of the conquest Of tbs world for
Christ, it must not only KEEP pace with
the growth Of the population, but also
gain upon It," And statistis which he
presents enable him to say 1T appears
that the communicates In TIE evangelical
churches in New England kDt pace with
the population from 1850 to 1880. notwith-
standing the large foreign acessions."
Let us have before US one nore striking

So he tells Us that while In he cities and
In New England, the localities in which
the foreign elements Of our population
have so largely concentrated, the struggle
has been severe, in the nation as a whole,
evangelical Professionalism las wonderfully

All the quotations in theabove are from
the book "Christianity in the United
States, from the First Settlement Down to

The best way to preserve the grain in
butter, and also retain its aroma, or desired
flavor, never so pronounced Us during the
first "a hours, John Gould says is to salt
md pack it direct from the churn. Henry
Talcott, the great Ohio dairy expert, says:
"The buttermilk should all be washed
out of the butter so it will not color the
last water. The butter should then be
allowed to drain. It needs no working
whatever. but should be carefully weighed;
then press i'll or squeeze in one ounce of
good, fine dairy salt to the pound of butter,
and if you intend to pack it down for
shipment or to keep in crooks or tubs, you
never can have it in as good condition to
pack as the minute you first get the salt
into it. The butter will retain its rosy
flavor better to pack Immediately; every
particle of working but what is actually
necessary to press in the salt, Injuries the
grain of the butter and reduces its value
in market. You must have some brains
or gumption about you, to be a coed but
ter maker"

Northwest Trade: Eggs are quoted at
Hillsboro, N. D., says a correspondent of
the Fargo Forum, "at can't get 'em" and
the market does no vary. For several
years the northwestern market on eggs
has been an excellent one, and the far
mers, whose wives and children might look
after a hennery without much trouble,
have blindly ignored the substantial little
income there would be in keeping enough
hens to always have eggs to market. BY
and by, all the farmers in the northwest
when they have learned better the wisdom
of diversified farming-will rush into the
business, and the first effect will be a
tremendous smash of the egg market
Now, however, the farmers who have eggs
have a sure side line that doesn't cost
mush for the returns.

Bismarck correspondent in the Min
heapolis Journal: The annual report of
DR.. W. c. Langdon, state veterinarian,
shows that $50 horses, 512 cattle and
25,477 head of sheep were shipped into
the state last year. Five of the horses
proved to have CHAMBERS, and we're des-
'troyed and the exposed ones q%uarantined.
A large number of the sheep had the scab
and they were %quarantined in the morgan
lied counties, and after being thoroughly
"dipped' were allowed to be distributed.
Among the thousands of cattle owned in
the state but six outbreaks of symptom
attic anthrax (blackleg) were reported.
There we're but four cases of tuberculosis.
From the diseases among cattle the doctor
reports the losses as slight, probably not
over 100 head. This speaks volumes for
North Dakota as a cattle country. The
loss from disease this year is practically
nothing. The cattlemen have learned that
it pays to put up hay for cattle at a cost
of less than 81 per ton, and millions of
tons go to waste every year. Besides the
work done by his three deputies, the doc
tor has travelled 11,437 miles by rail and
754 by vehicle.

The Helena "Herald' says that it is only
4 question of a few years when large herds
of cattle will be unknown in Montana.
Many entire herds were shipped to market
this year, and others were largely reduced.
This has become necessary from the en-
croachments of settlers and the increasing
numbers of sheep. The result will, of
course, be favorable to the state. The
great ranches with large herds will be sue
ceeded by farmers who will occupy the
valleys and keep such stock as can be
properly cared for in severe winters.
Large ranches and large herds of rowing
stock do not promote rapid settlement of
the country.

Recently Bishop Potter of New York
child his pretty Pensioners for being so
tempting. The New York World gets
back at the crusty old Potter felicitously
thus:
"Beauty is its own justification. 1t is
almost q virtue. Certainly it is not a vice.
Every woman is entitled to be as beauti-
full as she car. Nay, more; it is her duty
to her fellow-beings to make herself SO.
The poet uttered a universal and perfectly
justifable demand of the human mind
when he sang:
If a woman be pretty, to me 'tis no matter,
Be she blonde or brunette, SO she let's me
look at her.
"Never mind the bishop, dears. Go on
cultlvating yourselves into high health,
good compilations, elastic steps, comoly
forms and brightness of intelligence. So
shall you make life better for all of us, and
you will be none the worse for it if some
s%oundhearted man is won by your beauty
to love you ard cherish you as his most
precious possession"
