Potter is an eloquent and forceful
speaker and commands the very clos

THE Three Fold Marvel, and was

The text for the evening was found

Rev. Potters Sermon.
The sermon was in part as follows:
twenty-five miles south of Samos
and 200 miles east of the coast OF
Greece, in the south portion of the
Aegean sea there lies rocky, bar
rem, desolate isle, eight miles in dia-
meter and twenty-five in circumfer-
ence, with a present population of
near 600 souls. This island was used
by Rome as convenient place for
exile of those who opposed her au-
thority or offended her rulers.
A Man Who Had Seen Christ.
'In &c A. D. there lived man who
offended their authority by preaching
Jesus Christ and the power of His
resurrection. He had been the init.
mate friend and companion OF
Christ for three years, had witness.

talked with Jesus after the resurrec-

to Patmos and eXiled.
Soon after his arrival one Sunda!

the central hill to witness the sun

tall, erect, calm, with long grey
beard falling upon his chest while
the white locks of his long hair man
tied his shoulders.

"The second marvel is that He should
wash us in His own blood Here the Di-
vine love becomes active and would
spend itself in doing something for the
object of its affection. This is our real
need for We are unclean. Sin and it's
practices has stained our garments and
left us polluted. I declare to you our
chief need is cleansing.
Shakespeare understood this when
he put into the mouth of Macbeth the
question: What can cleanse my red
right hand?' That is the problem of ev-
cry man: What can wash away my
stain?' What can make me whole
again?' Nothing but the blood of Jesus.
His blood cleanses from every spot of
sin. This is a great marvel.
The Third Marvel.
1.-THE third marvel is that having
loved us and washed us, He then
proceeds to make of US useful and i'm
portant factors in His kingdom. He
makes us to be kings and priests I'M
to God. What an honor! What a dig
nifty! To wear a robe of righteousness
to have placed upon the brow crown
of glory and to have dominion, through
the spirit over the Kingdom and then
to be set apart for holy purposes. God
alone could have conceived such a
thought.
ITO take a man cursed by habit, a
man, in whose image God has been
marred and mutilated until the Divine
likeness has departed and then left
little more than the wreck of his for
mer self, to take such one and wash
him, forgive his sins, love him with
an everlasting love and then having re-
stored the Divine likeness set him
free from his former self and give him
dominion over lust and passion and
self and sin, so that he lives clean
life and radiates from his personality
pure atmosphere. This is the three
fold marvel OF Gods grace. BY this
process Christ takes the servants of
the devil and makes them to be living
personalities in His everlasting king
dom.

OATS OF INFERIOR. GRADE.
Last Years Crop Not Good-Present
Growth is Excellent.

Owing to the heavy rains and much
high water, the oat crop was not as
good as it has been previously, accord
ing to the statement of q prominent
farmer. The quality is of an inferior
grade and will not demand the price
that would have been paid had the
circumstances been otherwise. A
prominent grain dealer stated this
morning that the farmer should bring
in ali his old crop Of oats and not
wait until this years crop is ready,
as the prospect is that the present
years oats will be far superior to the
last crop and that both the good and
the bad, should not be mixed. The mar
ket price for old ats is Is to 30 cents
per bushel.

The little Red Morocco Shoe.

The little red morocco shoe,
A-gap where babys toes peeped through:
Here tiny pigs to market went
In the old days Of sweet content.
The buttons dangling by a thread
Once touched with fingers, with the
dead
Each struggling one it brings to me
A perfume from life's sacristy.
This tiny shoe without @ heel,
Where little piggies used to steal.
To me Is more than priceless gem
Plucked from q royal diadem
It brings from amaranthtne shore
The face my loving eyes bent o'e-;
It brings, dear heaven! from the night,
Her kiss, her voice. her smiles delight.
All! what may not a mother list
Whose cares are Bonded to the mist
That rises out Of shadow land
Made glad by the angelic band?
Their voices come on wings OF air
To greet her, patient, waiting there.
Enrapt with this morocco shoe
A-gap where baby's toes peeped through.
There comes no sweetness like the song
OF loves Invisibles who throng
The sacred cloisters of the heart,
Unknown to all the 20. Id apart
So; may list the whispers soft,
Watt to me from the throne aloft-'<'
All, only heard by me, the while -
NY mind recalls the babys smile.

How Bachelor Came to see the Error
Of His Ways r.,
A curious tale is told of young
man from Grants Pass, Oregon, who
was cured of the bachelor habit by
"mud-dauber", wasps. The hero tells
the story on himself of how he was
working in a mine near his native
town and at the end of hard days
work always tumbled into his bunk
in an old log cabin without taking the
trouble to arrange his blankets. The
cabin was infested with ''mud.daub-
ers," and one day several Of these To-
Gated themselves in the miners bed.
The young man retired without cere.
mony that evening, but he arose again
very rapidly. According to his own
statement, which may perhaps best be
taken with grain of caution, he flew
clear to the roof and knocked off half
q dozen or more shakes, came down,
kicked over the table and otherwise
gave evidence of worried man for
several minutes. The wasps ended his
bachelor career, for the miner went
next day to Grants Pass and secured
a housekeeper in the person of a pref
ty bride.

A story is going the rounds regard.
ing a farmer who is greatly troubled
with absent mindedness. On the way
home from town: as the story runs,
the thought came to him that he had
forgotten something. He took out his
notebook, went over every item,
checked it off, and saw that he had
made all the purchases he had intend
ed. AS he drove on he could not put
aside the feeling that there was some
thing missing. He took out bis note
book and checked off every item again,
but still found no mistake. He did
this several times, but could not dis
miss the idea that he must have for
gotten something. When he arrived
at home and drove up to the house his
daughter came out to meet him, and,
with look of surprise, asked: why,
where As maw?"
