WITHIN OUR TEMPLE DOORS
Last Sunday Services IN Scotland
Neck Churches
IN THE METHODIST CHURCH.

At Ii o'clock pastor Ryder preached
from Cor. II 10.
What was this thorn? The speak
er here dWeIt upon the different theo-
ries advanced. No one is exempt from
a thorn, OF some kind, in bis flesh
saints and sinners have thorns. May
[ inquire what is your thorn IN the
flesh?
It Is universally admitted fact that
all men desire to get rid Of then thorns.
From experience and observation we
have learned that God frequently has
some better way for His children than
exemptlng them from trials, or remov-
ing all our thorns.
The speaker explained and illustrated
the above truths,
At 80 O'Clock he preached from ST.
John u 81
These Greek strangers at Jerusalem
approached Philip and addressing him
said, "Sir, we would see Jesus" In
this request we have a condensed state
ment OF the desire of all hearts and of
all ages this has been the longing de-
sire of all hearts Of all ages.
The speaker elaborated and lllustra-
ted this great truth for at least fifteen
minutes.
The longing desire of all hearts and
all ages can be and is met in Jesus. 4
sight of Jesus in His character as a
redeemer and personal saviour alone
satisfies the souls longings.
The speaker dwelt upon this truth
tor few minutes.
The principal attraction of heaven
will be to see Jesus and to bask
in His presence forever. Jesus is the
center Of attraction in both the church
militant and the church triumphant.

Some "signs" of Improvement.

The COMMONWEALTH cOmmends the
progressive steps of some Of the mer-
chants Of the town in having new signs
painted. Mr.. G. A. Camp, proprietor
OF the Racket Store, led off by having
a large and attractive sign suspended
over one Of the drives of Main street
ana a handsome sign placed oyer his
store entrance.
e. C. Josey & Co. haye followed with
a handsome new sign to their store, a
cross-cut saw design over the entrance
to the Hardware Store, and full paint
ing OF their store front. Let the good
work go on.

Small Pox Getting General.

It goes out from Rale Ugh that small
pox has developed in II counties in
the State, and DR.. r. III. Lewis advls-
es general vaccination.
Ii is an appr eciable observation that
the disease has perhaps never been
known to be so mild. It is very diff
ferent from what 1t was here at Scot
land Neck about fifty years ago. Some
of the older people here remember it,
and say there was number OF deaths
from the disease in this community.

Farmers Much Behind.

The exceedingly unfavorable wealth
er has put the farmers badly behind
with their work. There was not much
done IN January, less done in February
and thus far in March there has been
very little done. Even tobacco beds
are not get all prepared. But let US
not despair. A few weeks Of sunshine
and balmy breezes can make mighty
changes in prospects. Behind the
clouds the sun is shining.

DIR. Hartman explains it fully in his

Here is letter from Mrs Harmening,

told me I had to die Of consumption.
Then I thought would ask DR.. Hart

scrihed Pe-ru-na for me, and took it
according to his directions and was
