In late weeks at least two persons here in
middle life or later, who were ailng with
ch:onic troubles, and so to say, given up to
die, are recovering. A third case Is that of

sufferer, recovering apparently from a
severe surgical operation, when, IL had
been authoritatively said, and repeatedly,
that she would not be able to undergo
surgery.

The West Lebanon, IN. H., Congrega-

church here. The expenses of that church
last year, as shown in the Congregational
/ De-
rally larger salary for the minister than
what the church here raises. Altogether it

things, Mr.. and Mrs. Womer were to be
| congratulated on the advantages OF the

could not fail to draw out the kindnesses of
those about him. AS we recall, here and
now the many kindnesses OF our farmers
thus shown to each other in times OF dis

good to think OF them.

Womer in the devotional exercises, her
people having voluntarily given up their

Second Corinthians, 1871; "Finally, breth.
rem farewell. Be perfect be of good Gem
fort, be of one mind, live in peace, etc"
his theme being "the conditions of success
for church" Briefly stated, these would
be, high Christian character; liberty, but
not license in doctrine and practice good
courage; oneness in Christian aim, it being
npossible and even undesirable, at this
stage 10 mans development, that there

preacher, Mr.. Womer seldom fails to COM

case to compel assent. In this farewell
discourse he was not below his high level il

admit there were many excellent things
said. Probably it would not be too muct
to say, that there was not a little curiosity
