Miss Bessie Corner, of Bonner,
Mon, spent week with Mrs. ID.
NJ. Price, of the "Orchard Homes
during the meeting of the Epworth
league rally and the converting of
the NJ. +. Conferences. Bishop
Fowler was present and delivered
an able lecture on the life of our
great statesman and president,
Abraham Lincoln. Sunday fol-
lowing he delivered an able adj
dress on the evolution of man and
what he might expect in the great
beyond. 1t was as great an effort
us we ever listened to, not because
it was Bishop Fowler, but we con
ccivcd it to be ON line with the
truth. He thanked God very en-
phatically for the scientist, which
would not have been tolerated 20
years ago, when men let God di-
rect their minds; the world will
reap hcneiit.
