The spiritual element is made prominen,
IN all of the work at Good VIII Farm.
MIR. Hinckley would consider his work for
| a BOY in no sense satisfactory except as he
saw him rounding up spiritually, morally,
mentally and physically. His plan in the
programme for the Assembly has been to
touch the boy in every part and help him
to better life. Hence professedly
Christian men and women are called to
his aid in all departments
Saturday afternoon, as usual, was
spent In recreation. Saturday evening,
Hon. Timothy b. Hussey of North Ber
wick, delivered lecture on Palestine -

words and pictures, his pictures being
shown by aid of the stereopticon. Mir.
Hussey has travelled extensively and eyi-

time. Being successful business man.
he naturally sees the practical side and
gathers much information that would
escape many Others.
He has seen and can explain much that
people desire to know, but that is rarely
found in books of travel He has made a
large collection of pictures and curios Of
all kinds, and these he uses in wonder
fully effective manner. His lecture was
fitting introduction to the rest and wor

During the night, heavy showers came
and washed the face of nature clean. and

day morning, he never looked on fairer
world, The air was sweet, clear and cool ;
The skies were never brighter; the fields
and forests never looked fresher; the birds
never sang sweeter; the happy family at
Good Will was never happier Earth, air
and sky combined in making the day a
perfect one
at 10 O'Clock the tent was crowded to
hear Mr. Hussey as he talked in hi,
familiar and interesting manner of the
land of the Bible and many were led to
see new beauties in the Sacred Book, as
be exhibited almost endless curios To an
eminent degree, he has the faculty of max
ing the Bible seem real, and next to trip
90 the Holy Land is the privilege of hear
Ing him talk about it. The boys have
seemed intensely interested and beyond all
question they have been much proflted.
Sunday afternoon, the audience which
gathered for the annual sermon was very
large, filing the tent and extending far
out on all sides. A large number drove In
from the surrounding towns and all from
the farm and vicinity were present
Capt W. ". Bustard of Brown Univer,
sity, preached the annual sermon. He
has shown himself TO be man of mind,
muscle and heart. He can play good
game of base ball, handling himself in the
water like fish, eat three square meals
each day aud sleep eight hours out of the
"a; and all this time show himself a
Christian gentleman of high and holy
purpose. His sermon was much enjoyed
and highly appreciated by all.
The service, Sunday evening, was con-
tucted by Mr. HiDckley in his own mimi

and all seemed impressed that we were In
