The entertainment given by w. III.
Whedon, as sisted by local talent, at the NJ.
e. church last Thursday evening was very
enjoyable and worthy of larger patronage
than it received. Mr. Whedon's readings
were very good and added much to the
pleasure of those present. The selections
rendered by home talent were excellent.
We have received some excellent sugges-
lions from the patrons of this paper in re-
ply to our advertisement of last week. We
are pleased to receive these and hope we
shall get many more during the time our
offer remains open. We want our readers
to tell US frankly just what change would
make the paper more interesting to them.

of this paper.

All the milliners had their openings last
week. Their windows were very tastetulIy
and beautifully ornamented. The floral
displays were, perhaps, never finer and the
trimmed hats in the latest and most fash
ionable styles, added to the decorations
and caused the ladies to pause and admire
the displays. The science of making arti-
fetal flowers was never so nearly perfected
as now, and the milliners utilized this per-
lection to make the decorations "a thing
of beauty al d joy forever"

Rev. r. l.. Sheaff ministered to large
audiences both morning and evening yes
terday. He spoke of the brotherhood OF
man and of the fatherhood of God. Sal
vation>is the getting into right relations.
Christ's work was to bring men into right
relations. Law is cool. 1t binds society
together, but love can do more than law
1t is better to be disciple of Christ than
to be a disciple of the law. We are all
under law. Are we all under grace? In
the evening he spoke of the religion OF

subject much study and he brought many
facts of interest, showing the sincerity Of
the great poet, his genius, his many good
