pr. Barstow Hits Politicians who Op-
 pose Presidents Attitude.
 In the sermon at the last union ser. vice of the Lenten series, held in the Methodist church, Good Friday eve. ming, Rev. J. W. Barstow, of the Nor folk Congregational church, preached a notable sermon, touching upon theme that has not been expounded during the series, and which caused the con. gregation to sit up and take notice, and filled some with consternation. The latter part of his discourse was a scathing arraignment of "cheap poli- ticians," In and out of congress, who from ulterior political motives, an. tagonize the President of the United States in the impending crisis with a mighty and warlike nation," and would make it appear to the world that the people of the country are divided on the vital moral question involved.
 pr. Barstow took for his text the 18th verse of the 18th chapter of Mark:
 And so Pilate, willing to content the people, released Barabbas unto them, and delivered Jesus, when he had scourged him, to be crucified.
 The speaker reviewed the character of Pilate as a cowsrdly and weak kneed Roman governor, who, admit. ting Jesus innocence of any offense, toadied to the mob that clamored Cruelty him '" and, washing his hands of "the blood of this just person, |" liberated Barabbas, the robber, and handed Jesus over 10 his executioners, thus hoping to gain popular favor and avert personal humiliation at the hands of the emperor. Pilate was likened to many men in our own generation, and in all generations, who fall short when the supreme test comes, of making their moral or religious pretensions square up to the exigencies of their business, political or social life.

''WilT' Miles Explodes Ground For
 Setting Out Trees.

Setflng Out frees.
 W. A. Miles, of Twin Lakes, is set ting out an extensive apple orchard, on the land a short distance north of the Smith Hill road. To the 300 trees he set out last year he is adding 400 others this spring, the whole occupy. ing about twelve acres of ground. MT. Miles, who is an enthusiastic and ex- pert orchardist, employs up.to.date methods in the cultivation of his fruit, the treatment of his trees. and even in the setting out process.
