A GRANGE GATHERING.

On Wednesday, July 2G, Bethlehem grange, No l2l, entertained Excelsior Pomona consisting of the following sub ordinate granges Mad River of Water bury, Beacon Valley of Naugatuck, Pleasant Valley of Woodbury, Oxford, Washington, Watertown, Newtown and Bethlehem. About 100 patrons were present. At the morning session, a class of two were initiated in the fifth degree. At noon all partoOk of bountiful din ner served on the basket plan with lem onade, coffee, bananas, and watermelon and pleasant hour was passed in social chat among the patrons. At the after noon session the question That the farmer bears more than his share of the taxes," was discussed pro and con. Worthy Master Heman O. Averill of New Preston took the lead for the af- firmative. Postmaster Henry T. Day ton of Watertown opened the negative. They were followed by Brothers G. w. Percy of Bethlehem, Hotchkiss of Mad River, c. NJ. Flower of Bethlehem and several others took part and the argu- meuts were very interesting. The judges decided that the affirmative side were right. Miss Della Baldwin of Bea- con Valley, Miss Benedict of Pleasant Valley and Arther $. kilton of Water town gave recitations that were heartily applauded. Brothers sherman COgs- well and Bert Smith of Washington gave us some very fine vocal music. Sister Julia Averill presided at the organ, Sis ter Clark read very interesting essay on" Our duty as patrons.' Several visit ors were present from Litchfeld, Morris and Beacon grauges. Brother Peck of Beacon grange had dish washer on eX- hibition that attracted the attention of the ladies.

Take these volumes from the libraries and examine them. Many were written against him. Open the covers and on the title page you will discover date. What does that mean? Tbe Grecians reckon their time by olympiads. Rome, from the founding of the city. No oth- CT name in the center of dates. History says that the founding of cities, or na- tions, or the recurrence of events indi- eating the civil life of q people are alone sufficient to mark the boundary or the flight of time.

for number of men to J oricate such 8 book, than that it should contain the ac- count of real life. No Jewish writers assumed the tone, none expressed the morality of the Gospel. It has such striking marks of truth, such inimitable marks, that the writer of such books would be greater wonder than their hero"
 We can confidently claim as true that which the Gospels assert of Jesus Christ. All laws of historical evidence confirm the Scripture narrative. That which would subvert it, would overturn all his- tory and destroy all literature. The pro- cess of reasoning that denies to the Chris tian church it's great leader, would equally well blot out Egypt and Chaldea, turn Greece and Rome into a myth, de- s troy the Dark and Middle Ages, and strip us of everything up to the 10th cen tury.

or of Heavenly gain, except the peace and contentment offered by their Leader. But they tlocked to his standard and en- dured everything for His sake. In 50 years He had not only overrun Palestine and Syria, but had invaded Rome. It would be instructive to read from Fertul- lian and lraenrus and others of the con- quests of the unscepteted King. In less than 300 years His disciples filled all lands and Christian emperor sat upon the throne of the great and once naughty empire. Ard tbat hold which Christ ob- tained on the world has never been re- laxed. The apparent loss of power was not retrograde movement. The spirit ual has passed through the same stages as the physical world. The glacial epoch was not a backward, but for ward step.

 projected into the 18th century.
 How wonderful has been the effect of Christ on the worlds moral and religious life? I have indeed hinted at this in many places of the discussion already. 1 shall not retrace the ground to speak | particularly of the transforming power of the Gospel, as witnessed in individual l lives and seen in the tremendous uplift of the worlds civilization. But I cannot turn from this part of the subject with out calling your attention to the inher- ent power of Christ to conquer and sub- due hostile thought and opposing moral ities and religions. One of the greatest miracles of time is the marvellous spread of Christianity during the first three cen turies. It began without social prestige or civil power, or priestly favor. It had nothing to commend it but it's own truth. fitness and the unique personality and character of it's founder. Not only was it without the favor of the world, but il found arrayed against itself the insttu tions of society and the powers of the state. Christ was not only crucified as a criminal, but his followers were hunt. ed from place to place and their lives put in jeopardy. They were beaten and i'm. prisoned; they hid in dens and caves ot the mountains; they were stoned and sawn asunder and perished by the sword and the flame. They had

Take the most illustrious names in history-Alexandor Caesar, Ma poleon, Washington, Shakespeare, Ba- con, Newton; men in the church or in the state; in letters, or science, or art, and what do we find? At the most there are few score of books written con corning them, and that, not so much for the men themselves as the times in which they lived. They are taken only as cen ters, and history is grouped about them to make it luminous. But not so with Jesus Christ. The volumes written concerning Him are almost countless. And who is he? A Jewish youth, who lived 1900 years ago; born of obscure parents; born in poverty; the son of a carpenter, despised even by his own brethren; youth who grew up in ig- norance so far as the schools were con- cerned; who lived in obscurity, then taught for three years and finally died as a criminal dies,

But, while other systems are hedged about by insurinountable obstacles are confined by the very nature of things to race, or class, or cline; are unable to discover the ascending way and lead the race to the summit of it's achievement, Christianity comes forth clothed with di- vine power, "xu!ting in it's glory, defy ing natural or artificial barriers and re- joicng to help all men in their search for peace and for God. r. comes alike to the ignorant and the learned, the poor and the rich, slaves and kings, old and young, of all colors, nationalities and climes everywhere the same glorious and beneficent results follow.

Socrates blesses him who could not give it to him without tears Jesus, while suffering the sharpest pains, prays for his most bitter enemies. If Socrates lived and died like a philosopher, Jesus lived and and died like God.'' Napo- leon said, "Everything in Christ aston ishes me. His spirit overawes me and his will confounds me.
