bath afternoon was indeed interesting.
Miss Rosa Greer, our accomplished music
and assistant school teacher, In her grace
full and intelligent way, read little tract,
Goods Hand in Cuba" II told briefly,
though plainly, of the start and progress
OF Christianity in Cuba. Prof. Hamlin,
in his impressive style, discussed why
we should educate and instruct our
youth" He thought it mere selfshness to
educate children because the profession of
letters has, in these days become fashion,
and that the man or woman OF general
proficiency can best work out thstr sue
cess in worldly affairs, and he gave that as
one cause for so many failures IN college
education but that We should educate
with view that knowledge is treasure
which gladdens the heart, dignifes the
mind. enuobles the soul and prepares 1t
to understand Gods problems and carry
them out. He held that simple truth,
we'll ascertained, is greater than the
lRrandest theory founded upon questionable
premises. Our pastor, Rev. w. Hawkins,
in his able and Instructive way, spoke on
| Emissions in Cuba" It seems that he was
| inspired for the occasion, and We believe
| the large audience caught the inspiration,
| Judging from their strict attention. He
told what one man who has consecrated
himself to Gods work has done in Cuba,
ard the mysterious way in which God
brought him to do this work, which
shows that Gods ways are not our waye.
He concluded by saying that God honors
the home missionary as we'll as the Tor.
eign, and that it is every ones d1ty and
privilege to be missionary in some sense
Of the word.

Some Of our farmers are complaining
about hard times, and always will
Why ? Because they do not economize
enough and do not pay enough attention
% their own business at home. They
should take less interest in politics anc
care more for self and family. Let BeI

speakers hearing, say nothing and df
