LADY WORKERS DINE

The lady workers employed in the trimming department of the Judd & Andrews Hat Co.'S. factory enjoyed their annual dinner, last week We'd nesday. Tables were procured and set in the spacious room on the second floor of the factory. Every eatable that could be easily provided by a score or more of noted good cooks was spread for meal at the monday hour. Several varieties of salads, sandwiches, macaroni, pies, buildings, cakes, ice cream and fruits: also tea and coffee. About 25 ladies were present, who no doubt did justice to each dish and dis covered the qualities and receipts for compromising the same. At the close of the days tolls second repast was served, when few gentlemen friends were present and made welcome for sC- cialibility's sake and were Messrs J. H. Wheeler, A. T. Noxon, Charley Beecher, Engineer Sherman and also MT Davidson, the New York salesman, who happened in on business and seemed gratifed with the novelty o1 the occasion The ladies wish to ex' press their thanks to MT Cutts, who donated gallon of ice cream, which was very acceptable and timely.

Text: 'I know that my Redeemer liveth and that he shall stand at the latter day upon yet in my flesh shall see God" Job l6: 26, 27 What an illustration of faith! It is one thing to believe, another to know
 I believe every work of the Bible from
 the first chapter of Genesis, when God said "Let there be light," unto the
 last chapter of Revelation, when John said, "The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all, amen," either inspired or revealed. No theological
 student or professor of languages, how ever skillful in the use Of those gifts
 way conveys the same impression on
 the mind of any thinking person as
 those contained in the book of Psalms,
 Proverbs, Chronicles, or in fact any of
 the prophets of old, or those words of the Saviour or his disciples.
 The words of the text do rot admit
 of a doubt. It is not belief, it is knowledge. How is such knowledge derived? It is when persecution be-
 comes unbearable and the subject has lost faith in any worldly relief, when trial and the Saviour reveals to him the truth. The silent prayer of Han
 nah in the presence of Eli was answer ed through faith. Then Eli said, GO | in peace and the God of Is ael grant
 thee thy petition that thou has asked What but faith in the Lord caused the birth of Samuel? It is no new l thing that we have Saviour by faith.
 Did not the old patriarchs have the same miraculous episodes in their ha 1oI hi
 to Samuel in Shiloa by his word. About that time the ark of the coven- ant was taken by the Philistines and
 upon receipt of the news of the defeat of the army of Israel Eli fell from his seat and his neck was broken, and as
 his two sons, Hophni and Phineas, had
 been killed in battle, his son Phineas,
 wife exclaimed, ''The glory isdeparted from Israel for the ark of God is talk en- And she was delivered of a son
 and named him Ichabod, an example Cf lost faith. But what became of the ark? 1t was carried to the temple of Dagon, the Philistines' God, and set
 up beside Dagon and when they arose l in the morning Dagon was fallen upon his face before the Ark of the Lord. Then they set him again in his place and early in the morning they found | him fallen upon his face again and the
 head of Dagon and both the palms of his hands were cut off upon tine thres-
 hold and nothing but the stump of him remained. Then the PhilisJines
 became as eager to get rid of the Ark
 as they had been to get it. In order to
 do so they built a new cart and yoked two milch COWS to convey the ark back
 to where they took it from. The COWS
 went looking through the streets for
 their calves were shut up in the stable
 Is not this example applicable to-day? Our longing for things we loath when
 we get them, and in trying to dispose of them attract the greatest attention.
 Happy is he that condemneth not that
 which he alloweth.

 When the two spies went to Jericho they tarried at the house of Rahah, the harlot. She protected them from the guard of the city and let them down from her window with red cord and she let the red cord remain in the win dow so when they returned with the army of Joshua her house might be recognized and her people saved. The red cord was token of truth and sin cerity that no other person in Jericho was endowed with. 1t made no differ ence, what her position: She had God saved her and her people. Tie prophet Amos said the virgin of Is- rael is faller! The city that went out by thousand shall leave hundred, and that which went out by hundred shall leave ten. An example of lost faith. When he had regained faith he said, "Seek the Lord and thou shalt live, lest ye break out like fire in the house of Joseph and devour it." In the writing of the prophet Joel this same hundred and the same ten are spoken In the lost prophets work is written, "But ye have departed out of the way, ye have caused many to Stumb ble at the law, ye have corrupted the covenant of Levi, saith the Lord of Hosts. But who may abide his coming? Who shall stand when he appeareth, for he is like a refiner'S fire, like a fuller's soap" l But "a book of remembrance was writ | ten before him for them that feared the Lord and thought on his name, and they shall be mine, saith the Lord my jewelS.' Blessed be thy name and promises, O God of Isreal. It is writ ten in Revelation, ''The dwellerS on earth shall wonder whose names were not..written in the Book of Life from the foundation of the world." Those people of which was written at that day, "The sons of God saw the daugh- ters of men that they were fair to look upon and took themselves wives of such as they choose; and there were giants in those days" and through that occurrance the fallen man, the seed of Adam, was lifted up to an in- heritance by faith, when he came to believe in the purity of women, who For whom he did foreknow he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his son that he might be the first born among many brethren
 "WhO shall lay any thing to the charge of Gods elect? It is God that justiti eth. Who is he that destroyeth coun cil by words without knowledge? Ht that dashes to pieces stands before thee." But again the delicacy of the gifts of woman cannot even receive the faintest breath of censure without
 them being marred, unless they are SC
 far above the worldly view that the in
 f1uence does not reach them. The
 scenes witnessed by your servant ol
 Easter morning amidst beauty and in
 nocence was something that can never ; die. Even the rustic of garment wa
