Its lawns were perfect and its foun-

cuts into the roof of this fine old

towers over it and only the rays Of

1t Is the old home Of John James
Audubon, the American naturalist,
which he purchased in 1912 and lived
in for some years with his sons
Victor and John and their families.
He died there in 1851 and was buried
in Trinity cemetery, near the woods
that formed part of his estate and
which were later called Audubon

Things Of a hitherto unknown race

that the natives bear names that can
be translated into English, suggesting
that survivors OF the Franklin expedi

They have some Scandinavian chaI-
acteristics and are different from any
other American aborigines. Two Of
them wore boards of a reddish color
and all had light eyebrows. Nothing
learned from them indicated that the
race as 1t exists today had ever seen
a white man.
The courier who first went forward
to parley with them almost lost hia

a knife. Friendly advances were final

sign language and the assistance Of

Among the Churches.
FIRST PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH.

There will be preaching morn ing and evening by the pastor. The morning subject will be "The Ten Virgins" The eve ming subject, Three Reasons why the Testimony of God con- corning Christ is unproductive. !"
 Every child of God who labors in the Kingdom of God should know these truths. Every in- different. careless, thoughtless, pleasure seeking person, should know the true reason why when the WORD is preached it seems so dry and why they are not profted by the instruction and warnings. The day is rapidly approaching when many, like the foolish virgins" will find their lamps going out and them selves not prepared to enter into the marriage of the Lamb.
 Salvation from the coming wrath of God is a reality and men and women by occupying their time, mind and affections with the tymporal affairs of this life. to the exclusion of the eternal things. are committing soul suicide and when they enter into the darkness of eternal night they will realize too late that they have trampled under foot the most priceless treasure ever offered to a mortal soul.
 Come, let us bow down to- gether and worship the Lord. ''He healeth the broken hearted; He bindeth up their wounds; He
 
 covereth the Heavens with clouds and prepareth the rain for the earth and maketh the grass to grow: He restoreth our souls and leads us by still waters; redeeming our lives from de- struction and crowns us with loving kindness and tender mer- cies." Fools because of their trangressions, and because of their iniquities are afflicted, "but let us sacrifice the sacrifice of thanksgiving, and declare His works with rejoicing.
