the meeting since, and is delivering
some very able, convincing and per-

The congregations have been good

from service to service. The pastors
OF the other churches of the town are
giving their presence and support to

highly appreciated by the Methodist

The Gazette is most apprecia-

Gently sent out, and most CRATE
full to the large number of sub
scribers who have complied with
our request that subscriptions
be paid in advance. By several
people our action in sending cut
statements and trying to ob-
serve the same business rules as
the larger publications, has been
most warmly commended. In
only two cases have subscribers
been "peeved" because they were
sent statements, and in both~ca-
ses the account was sadly in ar
rears. The February statements
will be sent out this week.

INJUSTICE.

The world, being in the con-
slant commission of vast guam
titles of injustice, is little too
apt to comfort itself with the
idea that if the victim of its
falsehood and malice have a
clear conscience, he cannot fall
to be sustained under his trials,
and somehow or other to come
right at last: ''In which case"
say they who have hunted MIN
down, though we certainly don't
expect it-nobody will be better
pleased than we." Whereas the

Live Stock Needs Feed First.

Live stock is necessary to
build up our soil but we will have
to raise more feed before we
can go into the live stock on a
very large scale. We should
raise twice the grain we do and
feed one-half to live stock and
put the other half into the
bread basket.
