HIS 1dsL Ouuudy mornings DISCOURSE, |
1.-The last journey of Moses on earth
where he viewed the Promised Land but
could not enter" Mr. Evans thereby en-
deavored to illustrate how many noble
lives are wrecked in realization of their
highest anticipations and how very few
reach the goal of their ambition. 1t
takes sometimes generations to accom-
plish what one man early in life hopes |
to do. So Eternity even will be neces.
sary to finish what is commenced in |
this life and but just commenced.
Mr. Tucker of New York state has |
been engaged to take the place of
Thomas Renfrew on Mrs S. G. Good |
hue's farm at Arrow Point. While we
deeply regret Mr. Renfrew's decision to
change his abode, we hope the mantle
of thrift, industry and good citizenship
he has manifested in every way while
with us, Emay fall on the man to come.

who has been engaged during the past
