The protracted meeting closed
at Patterson's chapel last night
after series of very able sermons
by Rev E c Sullivan.
1t is gratifying to note what
successful vocal music school the
good people of and around Col
den have enjoyed. This school
was under the leader ship of Prof
A ] Wilson who is truly a good
music man and man who is ev-
er ready to do anything for the
good and uplifting of the commun-
ity in which he lives. This was
the largest school that has ever
been taught in this or any of the
adjacent communities The en-
rollment reached 76 and the av-
erage daily attendance 65. When
Prof Wilson took charge of the
class, approximately half of the
students didn't know the notes,
but at the close the whole school
had mastered all the rudiments
and shown to the welcome visitors
that they had not been there for
nothing, but had been there for
the betterment of themselves.
Should comparison be made now
between singing c. a S s
which is equal to Prof Wilson'S
10 days ago. would make the one
blush with shame to see how far
behind they are.

you all the same. But that first
love for my first sweetheart finally
for some cause, or some how else

AT the age of % | found myself
all kaflumixt in love with another
girl and this love proved to be the
real genuine article of love, as
gained this girls love as thought,
and l had it down all pat as she
finally promised to be my wife.

right to smile at the girls while
young but be a man before you

There is kind of love would

seek for while young and that is
the love of Jesus.

BACK TO THE FARM.

With the dessimi, alton OF the
American census figures it be
comes increasingly apparent that
as a whole they seem to bell
sentiment with re gard to the
back -the-farm movement. 1t
would be unwise, though, to reach
the possibility, already suggested.
that the figures cover too long a
period to offset recent indications
that can hardly be mistaken. For
the back to -thc-farm- movement is
IA ia t; the tide has turned and
the next ten years unquestionably
will tell IA different story from
that which the census figures, un-
qualified, give us now.
Metropolises have gained thous
ands in population during the last
ten years, while rural communities
have only just begun to offer
greater attractions Much of the
influx to American cities is from
broad; immigrants naturally graz
itate toward quick profits while
avoiding the prospect of toll such
as many OF their number left
home to escape. While numerous
young men still leave the county
for the city, the movement is
less general, owing to the many
inducements for them to stay at
home. These now include the ed
ucative associations made possible
by higher standards of thought
and action. and the more adequate
school facilities that are accom-
plishing the transformation of the
old narrow views into the com
prehensive ideals now applied to
individual life and municipal gov
ernment.
The city-born man is not fitted
by training to attain immediate
success as farmer, but by pre-
liminary study and fairly lib
oral supply of funds he may rise
above tenantry or doubtful profit.

thereby to support himself and
