0 Father, grant thy love divine,
To make these mystic temples thine;
When wasting age and WeaTying strife,
Have Slapped the leaning walls of life;
When darkness gathers over all,
And the last tOtterlng pillars fall
Take the poor dust thy mercy warns,
And mould it into heavenly forms.
The Epworth League temperance en-
tertainment at the NJ E. church, Sun
day evening was a success. Although
a number who were to have taken a
part we're not permitted to be present
through sickness and other causes.
After the opening song, the invocation
was given by Mr.. A. S. Warmer, fol
lowed by a recitation, "The Sign
Board" which was we'll rendered by
Bessie Waters. Plummie ThOrson re-
cited "Stand Back" in a very pleas
ing manner. After a song, Rev. r c..
Smith gave a very interesting "Chalk
Talk" which pleased both young and
old, and was very instructive. 1.-THE
Bridal Wine Cup" was we'll read by
Mrs. Wareing. The exercises closed
with an address by Mr.. A. S. Warmer,
who spoke on the Supremacy of Law"
which was a we'll written production
and delivered in a forcible manner.
The president of the league, Miss
Rachael Walker, deserves much credit
for the interest she has taken in the
work, and the management by which
she has overcome every obstacle.

Last week The REPUBLIC gave utter
ance to the prevailing impression that
the residence of W. c. johnson was
outside the corporation. This gave
rise to a dispute which caused the rec,
ords to be looked up, proving that Mr.
johnson is within the corporate limits
of the city, and is therefore eligible
to the Office for which he was nomina,
