ure in seeing class of young people
consecrate themselves to the service
of God; and the Confirmation service
of the Episcopal church is we'll calcu.
lated to impress all, with the solemn.
ity of the occasion. As the Bishor
lays his hands on the head of candi.
date and prays that God will defend
this child with His Heavenly Grace
and bring him at last to His Heaven.
ly Kingdom, deep and solemn hush
comes over the whole assembled
throng, the people realize that it is an
awful moment in the life of the per.
son confirmed.
Holy Communion Church never had
such a mass of people in it before
Preparations had been made for a
crowd, but the numbers exceeded all
expectation, every available inch OF
space was occupied, aisles and all, and
the entry was filled with standing
people.
On Friday afternoon, Rector Beer
drove the Bishop and Mr.. McGonigle,
accompanied by Mr.. Sinclair, to Nor
ton. Here a very large congregation
again, greeted the Bishop and clergy,
the large church being completely
filled. Here the Bishop confirmed
eleven persons, and preached to them
a sermon that will make a lifelong
impression on many a heart and
mind. 1t was interesting to observe
how the eyes of all were riveted on
the Bishops every motion. It was
most gratifying surprise to the clergy
to find the church filled, even crowd
ed, on weekday afternoon, and it is
to be hoped the interest manifested
may not be mere passing whim, but
may develop into something real,
practical and permanent.
From Morton the Bishop, with

had a nice little country parish there,
but he felt that his energies needed
the stimulus of a more active life.
Any one looking at his face will see in
a moment, that he is hustler, to
speak in the slang of the day. So
when he met Bishop Gilbert in Eng
land, two years ago, he arranged to
try Minnesota as Missionary, and he
has been placed in charge of Marshall.
His success there has been most graft
flying, and his short visit to Redwood
Falls has left a strong desire among
us, for more extended acquaintance.
Rev. H. P. Nichols of St. Marks,
Minneapolis, is a gentleman to whom
we are much indebted for paper and
address. The people here will not
soon forget the scornful emphasis,
with which he spoke of those who
pleaded hard times as an excuse for
small contributions towards the Lord g
work, and yet could afford to buy
bicycles.
Dean Butler is another man, whom
once having heard you wish to hear
again. But it is impossible to give
here resume of all that was spoken,
with description of the speakers. 1t
must suffice to say that the Convoca-
ton has left decided impression that
the Episcopal church has among her
ministers, many men that average very
high, as men of intellect and scholar
ship, and at the same time they are
men strongly imbued with desire
for the service of the Lord, and the
salvation of souls.
The Convocation was brought to a
close by a Confirmation service in
which Bishop Gilbert confirmed ten
persons. The interest which our COM
munity takes always, in a Confrma-
ton service, is proof of the natural
goodness of heart of our people. All

Marvellous Results.

From letter written by Rev. j.
Gunderman, of Dimondale, Mich, we
are permitted to make the following
extract: Il have no hesitation in
recommending DR.. Kings New Dis
covery, as the results were almost
marvellous in the case of my wife.
While I was pastor of the Baptist
Church at Rives Junction, she was
brought down with pneumonia sue
ceeding Ia grippe. Terrible parox-
ysms of coughing would last for hours
with little interruption and it seemed
as if she could not survive them. A

TIE OWEN ELECTRIC BELT AND APPLIANCE Co. :
Gentlemen Solely in the interest of others
who are or may become similarly affected with
myself, venture to offer my experience with
the use Of the Owen Electric Belt, and that
l am actuated entirely by that motive, must be-
apparent from the fact that until you see my
name and address recorded on this letter you
had no knowledge Of either. had long been q
sufferer from chronic dyspepsia and nervous
prostration, contracted or aggravated by many
years residence in the East Indies. About three
years ago purchased one of your Belts in the
hope that its use might afford me some relief,
and wore it continuously as directed for about
four hours every afternoon for month or so,
and the result was perfectly marvellous My
indigestion with all its attendant mseries, ner-
vousness, depression, irritability and insomnia,
from which latter l was a great sufferer, have
disappeared. then discontinued the use OF the
Belt (the existence Of which had indeed for
got.en), until about six weeks ago, when a
recurrence Of my old trouble very forcibly
reminded me Of it. / again put it into wear
(after ceasing its use for over one and one half
years. and with the same extraordinary results,

vigor, after wearing it for only ten days. Under
these circumstances | can most emphatically

although l must admit that derived some
benefit from their use, I am bound to say the
general result did not approach the benefit
derived from the use Of the owen Belt

On Friday we get a field glass from
q gentleman in town and went up on
the town clock to view the county.
Where enc is familiar with the sur
rounding country it is pleasant TO take
tbs view. air. A. Z, Davis house,
near Monticello, could plainly be seen;
the residence Of Mr.. Moses Clark, the
new Lebanon Church and several
places near il were easily made out.
The fields and hills near Mr. Samuel
McCorm;ck's we're also seen. 4 new
two-story house was sighted below
town and it puzzled rs to know where
it was. The trees and general sur
rounding suited for Mr.. Samuel
DuDose's place, but the house did not.
It showed to be q two-s1ory white
house. We learned, however, that
Mr.. DuBose had added story and
was having painting done at the time.
Mr.. D. II. Robertson's place, near
Durham's, could be seen and points
fifteen and eighteea miles could be
seen that we could not make out.
We are indebted to Mr.. C. NJ. Chandler,
who owns the glass, for this treat, f1r
such it is.
