The Hawleyvil1e Union chapel held a good audience on Sunday evening when Rev Otis w. Barker conducted a preaching service there. He gave the sermon which he had delivered in his own church in the morning, taking for his text phrase from II Tim. Az, "Preach the word" He showed how effective was the preaching of the Apostles, how it was aimed at mark, and always produced one of the two effects, of angering the audience or bringing it in repentance to the feet of the Saviour. He said that men lis ten best to the plain teachings of Jesus simply told. The man of God must be a fresh air man, studying his congre- gation and alive so the needs of the hu- man soul. The aim of the ministry is not to reform society, but to trans form it, to put into its life great prin- ciples which shall work themselves out in bringing in the kingdom of God. The Hawleyville chapel has been for some time without regular preaching services, and the people seemed to ap- preciate this coming again of the privilege of listening at their own doors to the presentation of Gospel truth.

LETTER TO GEORGE w. STUART

VIEWPOINT.
 Dear Sir: Consider one point if you please, in painting your work-a point, on which the practice of painters IS apt to be wrong-the priming.
 The usual practice is to use cheap ochre for priming. Don't do it. Use the same paint you are going to use for the other two coats.
 The reason for cheap ochre is: it is cheap-a poor reason. The saving is very small-a few cents on the side of a house-and the damage considerable. Cheap ochre is very poor stuff; not fit for foundation paint; not fit for the bond between paint and wood. And priming is both foundation and bond:
 Devoe is your paint: the same for all coats; lead and zinc; best paint in the world. We have no monopoly of it. Others can make it; they choose to make inferior paint. Lead and oil lasts half as long as Devoe.
 This is an absurd condition in the paint business; but it exists. Devoe is your paint.
 Yours truly, 66 F. w. Devoe & Go.

The time and patience required to set up indi- vidually from 10, 900 to 30, 900 plants, can only be realized by one who has had the pleasure of doing it. The crop was not materially damaged, if. no
