PASTOR OF OLIVET
TALKS ON CORONATION

In Olivet Presbyterian Church yes
terday morning the preacher, the Rev.
Robert A. Elwood, preached a sermon
to a large congregation on "The Coro-
nation of the King" He compared the
coronation of King Edward, of Eng
land. on Saturday, to that Of King
David, over Israel. and then said:
Il read in my Bible that there is
coming a coronation day. compared
with which these earthly coronations
will appear as mere baubles. That day
when Jesus Christ shall be crowned as
King Of Kings and, Lord of LORDS. Thy
King cometh, says the Divine revela-
ton. and as the Israelite lOnged for
David's coronation. and the English
man looked for Edwards. so I long and
look for the coming Of the day when
Jesus shall come to be crowned as
King. The heart of every Englishman
should throb with joy because OF the
royal dignity, honor and glory that has
accrued to the English nation by the
GROWING Of King Edward. They have
a King and all the world pays him
honor. But look at the Church today.

lation.' and then to comfort the weary
hearts He added. But be of good cheer

the day may soon come when We will

nation ode. when saints and angels

power, stream of water running
through the farm and u lane back OF
the farm connecting pasture with the
stables. A southern or eastern slope is
desirable and the buildings as compact
as possible for convenience in order to
save time and steps. a driveway over
the beams or into the gable will save
labor in harvesting crops ah e!$

BILE should be light and airy TN summer

Good air and an abundance OF good
running water are essential in cattle
barns. A neat driveway from the high
way to the farm buildings will add t.
