The Busy Berry Pickers.

Few PERSONS are really aware Of the
extent of the berry picking business
in this vicinity, nor of the extent to
which the berry trade is carried on.
Our small fruits such as rsspberries.
currents and black berries, are shipped
from Plymouth as far east as Cincin-
natl, while South Bend AMI other places
equi-distsnt will as general thing take
all we have to spare, and are willing to
paw little more for them than our
home merchant, because there are more
people there to eat them. The nurseries
and fruit farms adjacent to Plymouth
are paying properties and are now in
their harvest time. By thoughtful
provision in Mother Nature these fruits
do not all ripen at the same time, bat
she gives us chance to smack our lips
and relish the nice red raspberres
while the black berries are Just "turn-
ing" and we are ready to pronounce the
raspberry the best berry that ever grew
until the blackberries come, forget
ing that we said the same about the
strawberry few weeks ago.
The owner of berry farm must be
good natured and pleasant, for he is de-
pendent upon small ermy of pickers,
most Of whom are boys and girls and
children are more particular about fair
treatment than grown people. These
little fellows go out very early in the
morning, some of them barefoot, and
often parents accompany them. Indeed
considerable proportion are adults,
who go out and pick "on shares" for
canning purposes. This army of
marauders, sometimes 80 strong, will
march into the "patch" about six in the
morning and by noon they have taken
everything in sight, and then the patch
must rest for two days to ripen again.
The pickers get one-third, while the
owner helps himself to two-thirds of
the amount picked. The pickere are a
unit in declaring that the rule ought to
be reversed in their favor. They are a
merry lot, orderly and proper in their
conversation and with constant chat
ter and occasional sales and retorts up
on each other, the time passes swiftly
until done.
The huckleberry marshes have their
season of fun and frolic, of pickers and
berries. There the pickers stay all day
and the program is more on the hiphip-
hurrah order. There is about as much
noise TO the average huckleberry picker
as there is to steam caliope in opera

"Have Faith in God" Nix. l1:22, was
the text for the morning sermon. DIFF
ferent kinds of faith are mentioned in
the scriptures as historical, saving,
miraculous, ETC., but the time was occu-
pied in showing some of the benefits
that came to him who exercises saving
faith in God.
al Have Enough" was the text for
the evenings sermon-language that
was used by two rich men, Esau and
Jacob, as recorded in Genesis 33:9-1l.
1t is seldom ever that Iich man feels
that he has enough, but is constantly
desiring more. Many people do not
have enough because they are contented
to live an easy life and are satisfied if
only their present wants are met. To
such Gods word says, "GO to the ant
thou sluggard, consider her ways and
be wise" 1t is the part of wisdom to
accumulate and yet we should not have
that greed that would lead us to take
advantage of our fellows, either of their
necessities or their ignorance. None
of us can say that we have God for our
portion. We should strive for the true
riches namely, eternal life.
The usual interest was manifest in
the class meeting, Sunday school and
Young Peoples meeting.

Council Meeting.

The common council met in special
session Friday night for the purpose of
taking up the electric matter. The
proposition that the city buy the plant
was discussed. 1t was ascertained that
the city was not capable of borrowing
sufficient money at this time to puT-
chase, as there would only be $1,000
margin for buying plant, for meeting
current expenses during the year and
for providing an emergency fund.
Moreover, it was brought out that even
if the plant could be bought, the
city would be powerless to raise money
to repair our old wooden water mains,
IN case they should give way, which is
very likely, as they have already stood
over two year longer than they were ex-
pected to last when constructed. Fur
thermore, street paving would necesssr-
lily be delayed for number of years.
The council acquiesced and drew up
an advertisement for bids" which is to

must be submitted not later than Aug.
l4th. No doubt this decision to let the
contract to the lowest bidder will place
the council in the proper light before
the people, yet it is practically certain
that there will be no bids in answer to
the advertisement for ostensible
reasons. The council adjourned and
the electric light matter will hang fire
for at least another month.

ST. THOMAS CHURCH.

The chief transaction on Sunday,
July l6, 1899, was the making of two
new members of the church by the
baptism of Arley &. and Cleo Glenn
Klingerman, two miniature men whose
behavior was good enough to be a
standard example. This is the fruit of
labor under the great commission, "Go
We and make disciples of all nations,
baptizing them in the name Of the
Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy
Ghost" Other children are invited to be
brought on Sunday next.

Street fairs in this part of the country
are novel. People would be attracted
on account of curiosity, if there were
no special attractions. The cities which
take advantage of these fairs now are
the ones which will get the best results.
Being something entirely new, there is
no doubt but there would be crowded
town each day.
The Pittsburg papers note the heavy
shipment through that city to the east
of the product of all Ohio, Indiana and
Illinois tool works and machine facto-
ries. The Pennsylvania and b. 81 o.

tools and machinery weekly, to say
nothing of vast shipments of boiler
flues, sewer pipes, etc.

AT THE CHURCHES.
PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH.

Notwithstanding the excessively
warm weather fair sized congregations
were in attendance upon all the ser
vices Sunday. The morning sermon
was from Ps. 81: "a. "Be We of good
courage and He shall strengthen your
heart, all We that hope in the Lord
The point made was that christian
strength is attained through courageous
service before the Most High. Fear
lessness in religious life is absolutely
necessary, and by this fearlessness
strength ID accumulated for every emer-
gency. Every moment and every de-
partment of religious life demand a
high and commanding fortitude. Other
wise life's hardships and tolls, its frown-
ing aspects and events can not be met
and endured Let us therefore be
courageous for the time is short, our
great enemy is alert, and our Divine
Leader is worthy and good.

Nj, T.. CHURCH.

The morning theme dealt with st.
James definition of religion. The
essence of religion is manifested in
helpful service to man, and such SER
vice springs from pure life. Church
membership, elegant rituals, correct
theological opinions, does not render a
man truly christian If he remains stingy
and Indifferent to the distress of his
fellows. Christian worship should in
spire to holy living. The church does
not so much need new miracles OF
power, nor the organic unity of tie
church. as she needs divinely inspired
men living as Christ lived.
The evening subject was based upon
