Major Sheppard, of Niagara, delivered an ad. dress on fruit culture and the'planling of trees, in which he gave much use1111 information, which, if pub into pra01100 by our farmers generally, would enable them to make much more profit out of their 'mallards than they do now.

The land of Beulah, at which Christian arrives, ea- oording to Banyan's story, represents 1110 highest and ripest stage of Christian ex. parlance. It was a land of (1) Singular Beauty, with its pure atmosphere, bloom- ing flowers and radiant sunshine. (2) Bioh Abundance, where everything was enjoyed that was wished for at previous stages in the journey. (8) Congenial Companionships ; here Christian bad fellowship with te inhabitants of the country and with some of the shining ones from the Celestial City. (4) Un• wonted Happiness, es greater joy was ex- perienced than at any earlier part of the journey. This arose from the greater light which shone upon him and the greater love of which he was conscious.. (5) Alluring Outlook 1 just beyond this land lay the glorious City of God. Sab- bath evening the text was "The fool hath said in hie heart there is no God," Ps., 14:1. Atheism is a system of unbelief which is (1) Lawless in its origin ; (2) Presumptuous in its claims ; (8) De- etruotive in its aims ; (4) Materialistic in its spirit ; (5) Deplorable in its results.
