CHURCH LIFE

Pastor Oliver, clad for winter possi-
bilities. disappeared in northeasterly
direction, Tuesday. 9th ult., and turned
up again on Monday last, hoarse a. .
crow, but reporting good time. He
had been out in the Avslo country, max
ing young couple happy by tying them
up together, visiting the families within
range, and preaching twice on the sab
bath at the Liberty school house. This
sod building was made of purpose larger
than was needed for the school children,
and was none too large for the congre-
cations that gathered: forty In the
morning, and only two less in the eve
ming. The interest was keen from the
opening of the Sunday School thruout.
and it was said that the audiences would
have bssn larger but for local funeral.
So the prospects are bright out yondsr.
The next day out there will bs March l.
In the meantime, the pastor will visit
the Sunnyridge school district, and
preach there the 18th inst. Everywhere
the snow and ice are thinning out. and
it il not likely that any serious hindrance
will arise in the way Of regular meet
ings in that country from the beginning
of March onwards. Other school house
appointments will be taken up as con-
ditions allow. There seems to be no
danger of the parson rusting out.
Good news of last sabbath's work at
home; still better things to be enjoyed
on the next, if we will 20. Pastor Oliver
will preach in the morning. "The Wise
Man and the God Of the X-Rays," and
in the evening on 1.-THE Bible Revela-
ton from God." No. 8. The Epworth
League leader 10 Miss Anna Jobbins,
and George E. Schoonover will give .
character sketch of the Apostle Philip.
The whole day should be full of blessing
and satisfaction.
