GOSHEN.

GOSHEN, May H.-After an absence
of some weeks we again try to pen the
news from this place.
Brother Oakley filled his regular APP
pointment here this morning and made
us a splendid talk, touching on some
very important subjects, and in con-
clusion urging the people to come out
and form a Sunday-school. We people
need several sermons OH that one sub
ject. Bro. Oakley appointed the fifth
Sunday at O'Clock as the time for
organizing. We sincerely trust that
the people around Goshen will come
out and do their best, and that we may
have the best Sunday-school ever
known here, If parents could only
realize their responsibility, the train
ing of an immortal soul for eternity,
surely they would not only send their
children but would come and bring
them. Then we would have Sunday
school and Gods approving smile
would rest upon us and His love fill our
hearts.
Misses Elllin and Oakley accom-
panied Bro. Oakley to-day.
Mrs. Lou Skelly spent the past week
at the home of her father-in-law.

SANTA FE, May 25-We are in the

time, sunshine and Vernal showers,
vocal with the sweet songs of birds, the

fragrant, melliferous clover bloom,
babling brooks, lowing herds and the
plowman's call, from early morn-Er'e

And welcome thee, and wish thee long
