The table OF food for the year shows that
cultivated fruit is only eaten to any serious
extent during the months OF June and
July, when it amounts to 30 per cent how
ever, during the same months the insect
food amounts to over 46 per cent, thus
showing the benefit to largely exceed the
damage. The cultivated fruit eaten in the
month OF December was necessarily waste

robin receives no protection whatever.
It can not be claimed that it eats culti-

BAYsIDE, 416, ELLSWORTH.
Bayside grange met July q with Master
Remick in the chair and an attendance of
seventy members and ten visitors. Mar
tin Garland, master Of Msriaville grange,
and Harry wheelden, oversesr of Nicoiin
grange, worked the fourth degree on five
candidates. After the work, recess was
declared.
At 1870 supper was served in the ban
quet hall for the married members. Two
OF the single sisters passed around tickets
numbered by which the married members
drew their partners for supper. A grand
march was formed, led by Master Remick
and Sister circuit. The tables looked
beautiful, laid with white table cloths
and decorated with green vines, potted
plants and flowers. Glasses At each plate
were decorated with q white Dutch bon
net. All the single members stood in line,
the sisters dressed in white, wearing
Dutch caps. The brothers had on large
white aprons and Dutch caps.
As the married members took their
seats, they were welcomed by the single
ones, and after g long wait and much
cosxing, the food was brought on. First
mashed potatoes; then anot her wait and
more coaxing, and then came the meat,
green peas, salads, cream biscuits, sliced
bread, cakes, pies, ice-cream and sherbet.
Ii is needless To say the married members
enjoyed the feast, and expressed the hope
that the single ones will be defeated in
the next contest, as the married ones
think ii impossible to defeat them in the
dining-room.
After supper there were remarks from
visiting members and from Rev. 0. q.

Topic.-Christ our Friend--John ~. s-i&
(Consecration meettng.) Edited by Rev.
Sherman H Doyle. D. D.
Friendship has been the theme Of
philosophers and poets throughout the
generations. 1t has been one of the
choice subjects of the Christian pull
pit. Marked Illustrations of friendship
have been recorded both In sacred and
secular history. and men have been
charmed with the stories of these sa-
cred ties that have bound men to men.
Every human being Graves friend.
one with whom 1t is knit together"
one from whom no condolences are
kept and no betrayals dreamed of. one
who extends the helping hand in the
hour of need and seems almost like
ones other self. without whom life
would be a dry and dreary waste.
Such friendships are not unusual even
between brave and strong men. Illus
trated by that between Jonathan and
David, Damon and Pythias and, as
lately revealed in the papers. Robert
q. Lee and Stonewall Jackson.
But human friends cannot always
fulfill the demands and needs Of the
human heart Therefore each one
needs to have the one friend who Is
completely able to do even this-Jesus
Christ, "the friend that sticketh closer
than a brother"
/. Christ is friend In need "A
II T. L. svIr
Jesus shows His friendship best at
such a time When humanity was In
need as the result Of the entrance Of
sin into the world He manifested the
greatest friendship possible toward the
human race by dying for It. For
greater love hath no man than this
that man lay down his life for his
friends" In the darkest hour of Gods
church Christ appeared, and in her dark
est hour then. as at all times. He has
been the church's friend. In individ-
ual lives the same has been true in
millions Of instances. To Mary and
Martha He came in their dark hour Of
bereavement and proved great friend
in restoring their brother Lazarus to
life again In proving by His own
resurrection from the dead that our
departed loved ones and ourselves
shall rise again He has also brought
profound comfort to the human race
and to individual human hearts.
what friend We have In Jesus.
All our sins and griefs to bear,
What privilege TO carry
Everything TO God In prayer!
2 Christ Is a divine friend. What
force this ADDS to His friendship! 1t
assures its constancy. The best Of
friends will often fail. but Christ, be-
ing divine, can never do so. 1t would
disprove His character Of Deity. In
this character also Christ possesses
the power to meet every want and
need In our lives. Abraham was the
friend Of God, and God blessed him.
So Christ can and win bless us IL we
are His friends.
3. The condition Of friendship with
Christ is obedience to His will. "Ye
are my friends If ye do whatsoever
command you" But why shirk such
condition? His yoke is easy. and His
burden is light"

Up to about ten O'Clock yesterday
morning there was every reason to
suppose people in this city and vicinity
were destined to experience another

conditions verged on the sultry. Shortly
after ten O'Clock, however, the weather
vancs began to veer to the west, later
to the to northwest and finally to the
northeast, at which point they remained
stationary. The temperature had IN
the meantime fallen considerably.
Throughout the day it was cloudy and
decidedly cooler. The temperature
made further drops during the night
and a cool rain set in from the north
east after midnight. At six O'Clock
this morning the mercury III the Their
mometer stood at GO degrees.
The rain which commenced ut an
early hour this morning continued till
this evening when the skies partially
cleared, the temperature i'll the mean
time remaining cool. At noon the
mercury registered 81 degrees.
