The church was rebuilt at a cost Of
$7,042, which amount was entirely pro-

cash. The church is a stone structure OIL

arranged on all modern lines. A new
piano has been placed in the Sunday
school room, and the contract for the
pipe organ for the church has been
awarded, the latter to cost in the neigh.

Some knew ''that few wanted it," 1t is
most pleasing to learn by way of New
York of a tactful patient pastor, leading
his flock like a good shepherd, by still
waters.
A famous writer wv. 81 of songs who
surpasses the Psalmist in musical effu-
sions, once wrote "The Shepherd leads
his sheep and they trust him''-some six
months, some a year; fewer eighteen
months, only 2 to 6 longer than two
years. And the black sheep increase
faster than the flock of the cunning old
CRATER, Jacob-Gen. 3; 27-43.
"All brought into line"-all but eighty
remonstrants, who said it unnecessary and
a glorious mistake, like the 'Charge Of
the Light Brigade" for call the town
wondered" And "there are others'still
wondering, what the harvest will be
from such a sowing.
GAIL harmonious at work." The
young folks have been wanting work
for fifteen years and like the child who
wanted the bee,-they have got it.
The Psalmist says "He leadeth them
by still waters. He restoreth their soul"
Also, "How good and how pleasant it is
for brethen to dwell together in unity. 1t
S like the precious ointment, the dew of
Hermon.'
Harmony will surely arrive with the
organ. The ligger the organ the greater(?)
the harmony. Some say the contract
has not been awarded, but surely The
Christian Advocate correspondent, or his
inspiratOr, knows.
Some say, "We are never merry when
we hear sweet music"-of a 50 900 pipe
organ. 10 buy or not to buy. All, that's
the rub.
