Whereas: In the dis pensatioifof an all-wise and overruling Provi dence, it has pleased Almighty God to take away from among us our much beloved and esteemed and faithful brother, James C. Smith, and while we mourn his disolution our hopes are strong iha bis spirit disingaged from the i umb ions clay of mortality, wiij bloom and flourish in mortal vigor and freshness throughout eternity, in house not made with hands eternal and in the Heavens. Therefore! Beit Resolved: —lhat we, as true Masons, submit with Christian resignatian to this af j dieting d : spensation, of him who doeth all things well, we feel thaf this Lodge has been pofrined , of one among its brightest of its Jew els. Resolved : —That we deep 1 y mourn and sincerely sympathize with his bereaved widow and children, and aged father, and devoutly invoke the, protection of God upon them Resolved: —That in token of our love aud esteem for our departed brother that ope page of our min utes be devoted to his memory Resolved :—1 hat „• these .resolu tions be published and a copy fur nished the family.

Presbyterians. \Vh.o i rught me to Remember the Sabbath day and keep it holy (against my Avill), imagine the “holly horror” of one thus taught while listening —there! I now hear another man cutting wood. As though his Father’s supply of sulphur had nearly run out and the vv.'nnfli of his future abode— depended on tus adding a few r;•ks in a hurry. lam not saying against the Trenton’s morality. Taken as whole, no town is more' moral. I only sa v the great Author of the moral law, and out little municipal Authorities are very kind, and indulgent as some of our Sabbath breakers Avould now bo where Giey would have no desire to chop Avood at any time. To dav Ave’had a united Sunday chool at the C. P. church. A ser mon by the M. E. circuit preacher. I never enjoyed a “meeting more— thinking all the Avhile that it was pure brotnerly love bringing us to gether, but I now feel more than ever the truth of tne old couplet: “Where ignoronce is bliss ’Tis foliv to be wise.” Never the less we heard a good sermon—one we will never forget —because it came from a heart overflowing with love to God and his fellowmen. If nature hasen’t written a le f ter of credit and sin cerity on the race of our new preacher I’ll never try and read her hand writing again. Wouldn’t it be sweet indeed if all Christians could or would dwell together in unity. The path of Heaien though narrow is no bridge of A 1 Sirat, it is too narrow to allow us to carry one sin along—yet we can put our beliefs in our bosoms, grasp each other by the hand and be a mutual support. My pen is running away' with me, you know it alway s does when I touch upon the above sub* : jecL I have quoted, he that loyeth not, knoweth not God for God is dove.
