Manchester. In his most happy vein
he spoke to the children on the beauty
of a life ruled by temperance, and
their obligations to the future man
hood and womanhood Of this country.
He pointed out to parents the respon-
sibility or privilege resting with them,
of guiding the steps of the children in
paths of rectitude and sobriety. Mr..
Chapman's remarks were well receiv-
! ed
The next speaker was terse and
practical in his talk. He offered no
far-fetched theory in advocacy of the
Temperance cause, but gave as reasons
for his stand on the subject, facts
gathered from personal observation of
many years. Mr.. Davis has the gift
of making one "see things" The lake
near which he lived as boy, the
campers who came to fish, who "the
first day tshed more or less and drank
apple jack; the second day fished less
and drank more, and the third day
drank more and fished not at all; on
the fourth day sat on the shore of the
lake and held their heads in their
hands, trying to sober up for the re-
turn home" These and other pictures
were so wildly drawn that one could
not doubt the need of a probationary
law. Surely, there is need Of the man
who will not shirk the responsibility

an Things to be Considered in Pur.
chasing Farm
Several from this village attended
the meeting of Mt. Aeolus Grange in
East Dorset last Saturday evening.
The question for discussion was
what are some of the most import
ant things to be considered in purchas-
ing farm ?" Owing to the lateness
of the hour when this subject was
reached it was passed over with but
little said upon the subject. Most OF
the public works of this and nearby
communities arc rather dull at pres
ent and indications are that it will re-
main so for some time, while in Mt.
Aeolus Grange are some of the fine
young men of the community. 1t is
not at all improbable that some Of
these young men may become agricul-
turallv inclined in consequence, and II
seems to us that the Grange will ans
wer the above question if it is the az
ricultural institution it processes to
be. We therefore give few of the
requirements we have found import
ant on a farm, herewith, and invite
others to give additional or antagonis-
tic views. The first important requls-
tie is the water supply. We can do
without almost anything else longer
than without water, and there should
be a never-failing supply in the pas
ture, and if there is no running water
at both house and barn there should
be an available supply near at hand or
where it can be run. Then there
should be good pasture, no one can
afford to feed cut fodder or gram AT
the ordinary summer price for MIX
although if one has a milk route on
other means of getting high prices,
any milk producing food can be al
forded. Pasture lands may lie on a

southeasterly the pasture will be ootil

He felt that he could do more good
outside the church. I think he Will
see his mistake, for burdensome as
the responsibility Of pastorate often
becomes, one should not forget the
support which the church gives TO
every worthy Christian enterprise
The basis Of the exhortatiOn how
ever. is not the trustwOrthiness Of men
but the faithfulness Of him that prom
ised. Therefore let US keep a firm
grip upon our hope for God holds the
destiny OF all the world in his hands
and in the end We shall see OF the
travail Of our souls and be satisfied
Think Of Others
The third exhOrtation follows
naturally Let US consider one an
other" Alas. how often we forget one
another Our personal and individual
interests press hard upon US Perhaps
none Of US intend to be selfish; to for
get others. but we do forget Some
one is sick but IL is not our affair TO
look after him Someone is in dis
tress but we cannot leave our own
affairs to minister TO him Someone
has a sorrow. a perfectly heartbreak-
ing sorrow but then these experiences
are common and We must not take IL
too seriously How much we heed the
exhOrtation to consider one another.
But the purpose OF the writer Is not
simply 70 urge US 10 be sympathetic
and friendly. but to urge US TO 50 act
as TO provoke others unto love and
good works. We are TO inspire and
arouse others by the nobility OF our
deeds. the lOftiness OF our lives There
is nothing in all the world that stimu-
lates US to high living like the eI-
ample OF such living IN our fellows.
We are in the world to be lifted and
to lift Christ saves US in part at
least by the loftiness OF his life, and
we, who profess to follow him, are
to be examples in holy living 10 those
around US
Need God.
The text afford US, therefore, a sum
mary Of Christian privileges We need
God and II is possible for US TO draw
near TO him We need a steadfast hope
and on the basis Of the faithfulDess
OF God we may have it We need also
the inspiration Of each others holy liv-
ing and this too is afforded US In
order that we may lose sight OF these
high privileges we are eShorted alsc
not to forsake the assembling Of our
selves together. The service of the
sanctuary brings us face to face with
