Some Of the many advantages offered to
farmers by this system are that the live up
paper is in touch with the daily markets OF
the world, and the current news as we'll:
Another is the quick ana ready means OF
sDot6er, sDs'S as one :s can communicate with bis
neighbor, or every one along the route In the
short space OF q few hours. These are op-
portunities and advantages that the wide
awake farmer already sees and is taking ad.
vantage OF, for once enjoyed. they can't afford
to do without them. Duriug the past two
months the Carriers have had picnic, owing
OF dust but now they are out of the dust and

Matthew y and first part Of the 5th verse.

was to show that men everywhere are max
ing light of the great gospel FEAST" the
feast Of Salvation" which the great king"
OF the universe has prepared, and to which
all are invited. They make light OF IT., by
their rejection OF 1t, by their non.attendanee
upon the various ordinances Of the church,
and in various ways they are daily and
hourly sighting the invitation, which is Of
fcred TO the whole world without money, and
without price. There was much wholesome
food for thought in his discourse which was
listened to throughout With marked interest.
In the evening Rev. T. w. Sloan Of the A. Il.
P. Church preached a fine sermon In the
Methodist Church to a large and attentive
congregation.
