Hicks Prediction

"We predict that most parts of the
country will have favorable tempera-
lures and propitious May weather in
sunshine and moisture. +" Hick' wealth
er predictions for June are summed up
as follows:
We advise our readers to make the
very best use of all rains and moisture
this month. Taking the country as a
whole, we predict that those who scru-
pulously plan and plant to realize
early crops will come out ahead" In
regard to July, Hicks says; s"Sum-
ming up July, we predict better
month than July, 1901, but a hurtful
shortage in rain, the last half, espec-
tally, being hot and sdry." In regard
to August he states: ''If the weather
is warm and dry when the Mars
period sets in much the same will be
the condition until the Mars dis turb-
ance is nearly enned. But 1--we have
good, general rains will occur be-
tween the 18th and theend of August. +"
Ills September prediction is as fol-
rvs: 1--WE predict that rains will be
moro abundantly diffused through the
interior grain growing and grazing
regions than in 1901, and that the
weather will be propitious, on the
whole, for seeding and outdoor
work.'

REV. CULBERTSON INSTALLED
impressive Ceremonies and Eloquent
Talks at the Presbyterian Church
Tuesday

The Presbyterian church was crowd
ed last Tuesday by members of the
congregation and friends who gathered
TO witness the impressive ceremonies
incident TO the installation of Rev.
Mr.. Culbertson as pastor of the
Presbyterian church OF this city. 1t
was beautiful and interesting cere-
mony, the selection of ministers to
participate in the service having been
most happy.
The ceremony was divided into
several parts: The sermon, prayer,
installation, charge to pastor and
charge to people. The choir, a double
quartette, had prepared music especi-
ally for the occasion and the anthem
rendered was beautiful and appropri-
ate. Miss Rosalia Charles sang a
solo in her usual delightful manner.
DR.. James G. X. Mcclure, president
of Lake Forrest University, under
whom Rev. Mr.. Culbertson has work.
ed, was invited and expected to give
the charge to the pastor but he was
detained by illness and could not be
here.
Rev. Frank NJ. Alexan der, of Ottawa
delivered the installation sermon,
speaking effectively on the cost OF ser.
vice. and drawing lessons from, the
life of Christ to show that the work of
a pastor makes strong demands on
him. '' ~
Rev. L. l. Drake, OF this city, gave
the installation prayer and performed
the solemn ceremony of placing Mr..
Culbertson in charge OF the local
church. Mr.. Drake is a white-haired
man who has devoted most Of the
years of long life to the ministry
and his prayer for Divine help for the
young man taking up the work was
like benediction.
Rev. E. A. Bess, of Independence,
delivered the charge to the pastor, his
thought being we'll EXPIRE SIS ed and his
delivery being most pleasing. Charity
sympathy and love, he pointed out as
the requisites for successful pastor
ate. DR.. Orlando f.. Hart, ofParsons
gave the charge to the people, admon-
ishing them to be honest with their
pastor and mutually helpful. With
charity, sympathy and love on the
part OF the pastor and honesty and
helpfulness on the part Of the flock,
the relations between them should be
pleasant and the work of the church
advanced.
The services began at O'Clock and
lasted until 10 o'clock. AT their close
an informal reception was rendered
Rev. Mr.. and Mrs. Culbertson, they
standing besideIthe altar and the con-
gregation marching past and congra-
tulating and wishing them success and
happiness.
