VILLAGE CHURCH NOTES.

We were favored last Sunday,
as announced in last week s
BEE we would be, by the presence
of A. P. Smith on the pulpit
platform at.church, and still further
by his address based on the text, "My
God shall supply all your necd,"a SER
mon Tiled with cheer and encourage
ment for all life's burden bearers. 1t
was an address which particularly
reached toward the everyday, working
class of both sexes who toll at home
as mothers and sisters, or who are
found on the farm or in the shop and
factory as employees and husbandmen.
The motto of the sermon seemed to
be "Trust, merited by action on our
part as striveTS, workers constant
towards the right" We regretted the
inclement weather of Sunday but were
glad so many were present to listen to
the excellent address. We believe
many more would have been at church
through regard for Brother Smith, if
wind and threatened rain had not pre-
vented. We noticed several in the
congregation whom we have not seen
there before in many months, and
wish some good influence would draw
them oftener. From some of these
individuals, as we'll as others, we have
heard many words of commentator
concerning Mr. Smiths efforts and
great kindness in consenting to occupy
the platform in Rev Mr. POSTS absence,
on Sunday. Mr. Post is expected to
return here this week. Mr. Smith was
a guest of Hon G. p. Lyman while, in
