Rev. Franklin HIadley based his address
III the afternoon on the Feast of Harvest
which was one of the three leasts the Jews
were commanded to keep, as a remem-
brance that the first fruits OF their labor
soWn in the field. The harvest exhibits
the wonderful powers OF God and his un-
stlnted abundance merits our praises.
The planting OF seeds in faith and labor
ing for the increase shows faith in God
who giveth life and increase which the
most learned chemists can not explain.
The mercies aud bounties of God to his
creatures the just and unjust is worthy
of praise, because he is the given of every
good and perfect giftA
Rev. George T. Harris spoke briefly.
He recently heard Dan Crawford, a re-
turned missionary from Africa say that
the American people are deteriorating
physically. 1t was because the people do
not live i'll Gods out OF doors as formerly.
Man was planted in the Garden of Eden.
We should eat and drink to the glory of
God. The Church should be the most
social place. Christ was called a glutton
and winebibber because he ate with pub
licans and sinners, but he retained his
goodness, goodness, and taught others
by his example. He preached in the
open air and fed multitudes when they
grumbIed and thought there was a fam
inc. A lew weeks ago many thought the
drought would make short crops, but
now fruits and vegetables were never more
abundant. Peaches and pears are being
knocked off TO hinder the break
ing OF trees and to give full maturity to
finer fruits.
God is behind all and will provide as in
the past. Not only should he have the
spirit of praise to the giver of all good,
but present our bodies a living sacrifice
and drink %abundantly from the well OF
salvation.
The illustrated lecture on Ben Hur, by
Rev. Edward Mount was witnessed by a

on the allies, especially on tho English

achieved by the Germany army, the

among many German soldiers that
they are fighting against too great
odds.
Despite all efforts to conceal the
news from Prussia, it is stated, infor-

German Holland.
"The German Emperor has made it
