The German Christmas and New
Years cakes, as known across the
water Gin the Fatherland). are little
known in this country. There they have
n distinctive name that is perhaps ex-
pressed in English by the word "Leb-
kugeu.r They are made by bakers al
most altogether. for the reason that the
dough or paste is prepared about six
months before il is baked for the holt
days and during this period lies in
trOughs until time has thus matured it.
Honey enters into the composition OF
these cakes as prepared in Germany,
aud few German bakers even have at
tempted their production in this coun-
try.
The cakes made here are very nice.

 Whereas. it pleased our Heaven ly Father on Feb. "A, 1901, to call from the Presbyterian church our brother James N.

From ear ly manhood the deceased had cast his lot with the people of God, .ns>., it4 -l s2Ezz7bcr r,-,.4 ~.. ,.sa. .s the church he loved so well as deacon. Having had pious par entage who were diligent in form ing good habits, our brother was punctual and regular attendant sson Sabbath services. His seat was seldom vacant on communion sea sons. How lasting and how ten- derly will memory hold to the ties of Christian fellowship! On earth we mingle our penitential tears together in our Fathers Kingdom we will exult and triumph in re- deeming grace! Talented in sweet:song, the deceased consecrat- ed his gift to the service of the Master, and nowhere will we miss him more than in our praises. When We meet to worship his voice is not heard, but faith draws a ar the mortal door and To. the praises begun by sinful life on earth are perfected and perpetual ed in that seraphim song of "Glo- " and might and honor be unto Him that sitteth upon the throne and unto the Lamb forever and ever. In his home and in the church the deceased adorned the doctrine of Christ in a meek and gentle spirit. We no longer tread the busy walks of life by his side :; he now has no share in harrassing tolls and cares, but we trust in the bosom of a Savior,s love we may find rest and peace which is Heav- en. Therefore be it
 Resolved. Ist. That in his death the church has lost a re- spected and honored member, and the board of deacons a faithful and wise counselor.
 and. That we extend to his family our deepest sympathy and point them to the Savior for con- solation. in the storms of life we are sometimes stunned by the thunder of Gods providence, heartbroken by the flash of His christening. but through the fast falling tears we can see the rain- bow of promise: Fear not, 1t is r. "What I do now thou know est not, but thou shall know here after.

OUR Legislature IS certainly composed of a lovely set of ducks They spend three or four daysin passing some foolish bill. and then consume as much more time in trying to pass resolu- tions. praying that the Govern or veto the bill. Sensible people sometimes do things in haste that they repent of at leisure; i; but the proper thing for the leg islature to do, if 1t finds that 1t has made a mistake, is to repeal the law, and not be calling on the Governor to get 1t out of the dilema. The Governor ought to veto all such bills, without being asked, but the legislature should not depend upon him to do so.

 The church at Andrews Chaple is growing stronger on the right basi; than it has been for several years. notwithstanding the dissatis- faction over the old appointment We feel sure that there is a future for this church. Some of the mem- bers take a sensible, religious view and are pulling along an d doing fine work under disadvantages. The good crowds that come out to preaching shows that the com munity is still alive.
 Rev. o. G. Horton will preach at Andrews Chaple from now on the and Sunday at II o'clock.
