The Bishop of Efuron, in his last Lenton lecture at lirar.tford, said: "I am of opinion that entertainment of any kind gotten up for church purposes, is wrong and opposed to Scripture.

He would not go, and he would be sorry to see any of his people go to. the rich man's door to beg for funds to carry on the work. Such gifts were not acceptable to God he was sure. It was only by self-denial they could hope to ac- complish the grand work. That was the fruit which showed Christ's abiding spirit.

Mrs. Lamport was a daughter of William Dick who died about 16 years ago. After the death of her fath er the deceased lived with Mr. Alex. Dow of Exeter, who raised her as one of their family, and they became very much at- tached to one another. Mrs..Lamport was born Aug. 7, 1370, and died at the young age of 22 years, 7 months and 29 days. About 4 years ago she became a member of the Methodist church in Exeter, and when she was married and moved to Cred- iton she joined the Methodist church here. On June 12th, 1890, she was married to Mr Sam']. Lamport, and from that time up to her death it was a happy union. About 3 weeks ago she was confined, and from the result has never recovered. She leaves to survive her a husband, son three weeks old (doing well), a mother who lives in Cali- fo rnia, one brother and one sister. Mr. Lampert ;has the sympathy of all his friends. The following lines from cne of our great poets is appropriate for the oc- casion : It seems but yesterday, my love, thy little heart beat high ; And I had almost scorned the voice that told mo thou must die : I saw thee move with active bound, with spirit wild and free And woman's grace and beauty gave their glor- ious charms to thee. So gentle in thy loveliness 1—Alas 1 how could it be That death would not forbear to lay his icy hand on thee? Nor spare thee yet n, little while, in woman- hood opening bloom While many a sad and weary soul was longing for the tomb ? I never trusted to have lived to bid farewell to thee, And almost said in agony it ought not so to be' I hoped that thou, within the grave, my weary head should'st lay. Anil live beloved, when I was gone. for many happy day. Yes I am sad and weary now ; but let me not repine, Because a spirit. loved so well is earlier bless- ed than mine ; My faith may darken as it will, I shall not much deplore. Since thou art where the ills of life can a ever roach thee more. HORSEMEN.—Get our prices on horse - bills before ordering elsewhere.
