WEDDING ANNIVERSARY.

Mr.. and Mrs. S. Fred. Racine, of Castle
ton, celebrated the tenth anniversary OF
their wedding on last Monday night.
Many invitations had been issued, and
although the weather and roads were not
propitious, a goodly number responded
to wish the bride and groom of ten years
much future happiness. The house was
beautifully decorated inside with bowers
of greens from which tiny fairy lamps
shone brightly. Doors, windows and
pictures were wreathcd, and potted plants
were banked beneath the windows. The
large porch was strung with Chinese
lanterns, and the bright lights, gay cos
tunes of the ladies and happy faces ofthe
expectant assembly made the evening one
that will long be remembered. The bride
was attircd in white andlooked rs sweet
and charming as when she approached the
marriage altar ten years ago. Though
changes have taken place in that time,
there were many to congratulate the
bride and groom who did so on May n,
1891. The evening was spent in games
and music, and about midnight the guests
departed for their homes.
Among those present were Mr.. and
Mrs. Richard G. Smith, the brides par

The United States received more prizes
at the Paris Exposition than any other
nation, except France. The total being

every cline offers some alleviative there
from, it remains for America to produce
an absolutely reliable remedy for such
common diseases. This remedy is Hos

M. Z. SOUTH PARSONAGE.
To THE EGIs.
In behalf of the ministry of the Great
Universal Church must express to you
my appreciation of the most excellent
editorial in this weeks EGIs in reference
to the sad death of Dr. Babcock.
You give us, it seems to me, the only
true solution of the dark visitations that
come to this life crowded with impene-
trable mysteries. We see through a
glass darkly-in dim outlines. Neverthe-
less God rules; and in our faith in His
goodness we dare not surrender. When
that faith goes, we are much weaker,
and the world with us. There is high
est good; a supreme joy here, and we are
told this is it-"Summum bonum est
suprema lex"

Judge not the Lord by feeble sense,
But trust Him for His Grace.
