In response to the emjuiry, “What’s

pounded, by the reporter, to Rev. I*. A.
Jessup, of our town, replied: “I was
in a meeting, a few days ago, of con¬
siderable interest at Delhany church,
lasting four or five days, resulting in
sixteen additions and an awakening
of membership.
“Also, one at Central Point, resulting
in twelve additions, with a general
spiritual outpouring in the eommu

On this occasion the people brought
their dinners, and a table was erected
in a shady grove on a lull .-lope. The
table was heavily laden with all kinds

In fact, everything was complete, and
it was indeed a fine dinner,
It is remarkahle what interest tho
people arc hiking in educating their

An amusing scene presented itself
which is worthy of special mention.
This is the home of our venerable and

The human digeslivc apparatus is
one of the mod complicated and woii
