showed the necessity of the spirit of hope-
fulness in Christian work because neither
God uor man can accomplish anything
with a discouraged man. The name wae
depression following a viotory owing to
the absence of human sympathy and
companionship, Hie enforced inactivity
and disappoinment in viotory over Baal
were oleo contributing oaueee. Elijah's
intensities were heroic however and he
would sooner die than live to no purpose.
The remedy prescribed was Physical—
rest and foot ; Spiritual -in the voice of
God ; Praotical—in the object leeeone of
Dyclone, earthquake, fire and voioe.
Everybody should seize by Faith on the
silent forces of Divine Omnipotence, with-
out which other remedies are vain.
"Sing on" and "When life's Summer
days are over" were the contributions by
the choir. The day's services were of an
inspiring and helpful oharaoter and will
be evergreen for many a day. Decora-
tions in the shape of flowers, fruit, vege.
tables, grain and cedar were abundant
and artietieallyarranged.' The collections
totalled over $17.00. Monday evening
the people from near and far assembled
to enjoy the tem meeting. Tables were
set in the commodious shed and for
hours diligent waiters catered to the
wants of young and old as they eampled
the cooking of the ladies of Union ohuroh
congregation. Food was there in abnnd•

epicurean could desire was on call and in
lavish abundance. Eollowing the supper
name the musical and literary bill of fare
in the ohuroh, a program rich in good
things, varied in ite oharaoter .and con
taining many pointers worth remember-
