On the rostrum, with a rich -lackground nf flowers, was a bed of moss with the word JKSUS In large letters made of lovely white flowers. This word Jesus and Christian Education, was the in­ spiration of the opening prayer, the singing readings, recitations and clos­ ing address by the pastor. And the large congregation were in full sympa­ thy with these sentiments, in proof ol which was the libera! collection for the Board of Education of the Methodist church. One of the hopeful signs ot the times is the increase of these forces over the agencies that would destroy the potency of the Jesus of the Bible. and vitiate the atmosphere of our Educational Institutions with tlie poi­ son of unbelief. «V cannot meet on Monday their names so that it may be definite- lj decided aB to whether or not a class may be frnmled.

When cholera rages it takes away more single] than married people, and so of all con­ tagions. Professor Richard A. Proctor! while admitting these facts warns sick-] ly people against marriage. He sayi they have no right to burden whole­ some partners with invalid companions] for life, nor should they run the risk of bringing children into the world, that] may inherit their chronic ailments. The greater mortality of the single may be due to the tact that invalids of both sexes o'ten abstain irom marriage. The question has been raised whether any one should be permitted to marrv without a doctor's permit. Certainly School. rrm TAYLOU. by request^ has concluded to open a Select School In this village.
