The opening services iu connection with the new Methodist church at Epp- ing w^ere commenced ou Sabbath last, Eev. John Patts, D. D., President of To- ronto Confrence, preached at 11 a. m. and 6 p. m. The church was crowded to overflowing at both services. In the morning the reverend Doctor took for his text "I was glad when they said unto me let us go into the house of the Lord," Psalm, cxxii, 4 and in the evening he preached from Ephesians iii, 8, "Untoi me, who am less than the least of all i saints, is this grace given, that I should preach among the Gentiles the unsear- chable riches of Christ." The new church, which is of sohn brick, and which is known as the Mount Hope Methodist Church, stands on the south west corner of lot number 19, con. 4, Euphrasia, (one of the Epping cor- ners), the site, which is a very pretty one, having been generously donated by Mr. Wm. McCnonell who also contribut- ed by a large cash Subscription toward the erection of the building. The church is 28x44 with a basement the full size. The archictural design is of the most modem, and the interior fittings throughout are cheery and attractive and are suggestive of comfort and con- venience. We feel safe in saying that though notthe|largest it is by far the nea- test church in the township if not, in- deed, in any country place in northern artificiallv constructed. Ontario. The bricklaying and plaster ine were done by Messrs Sparling Son of Clarksburg, the wood work bv Mr. James Thompson of Meaford, and the painting by Mr. George Marshall of GriersviUe. The work of each of these contractors is highly creditable to them and is most satisfactory to all concern- ed. The cost of the building so far (the interior of the basement not being yet completed) is 81346,44, but of course this does not include the hauhng of material and other labor performed fratuitously by the members and ad- erents. Of the above amount $207 was subscribed on Sunday morning, ♦700 had been previously subscribed and it is confiently expected that with collections of last and next Sabbath, -when the dedication services are to be continued. Rev. P. D. Will and Rev. Richard Clarke to preach morning and evening respectively, and with the pro- ceeds of the the tea meeting to be held on Monday evening the amount un- provided for will be reduced to consider- j able less than ,$300. We heartily con- gratulate the good people of Epping and vicinity upon this excellent showing, and npon the erection of so beautifid an edifice, and in the words of one of the the hymns selected by Dr. Potts we pray: Here, Lord, display thy saving power, While temples stand and men adore.

The closmg scene, when she conducts ^^^Z^'fr'^oZ^l^ •^°* °' that he may taste of immortality, is a fit climax to the fine creation. The question naturally suggested by this strikingly original story is whether there is not somewhere in nature, a po- tent force whereby life may at least be temporarily prolonged. Mrs. Annie Jenness Miller, editor of "Dress" says "In every instance War- ner's Safe Cure has the effect to give new energy and vit ality to all my pow- ers." Mme. Gray, teacher of Oratory and Physical Culture at Syracuse, de- clares "Before I tried physical culture and Warner's safe cure, I was a confirm- ed invalid. I owe much to that excell- ent remedy, and do not hesitate to ac- knowledge it. Human life seems too short, though men in former ages hved longer than those of the present. History tells us that they hved more in accordance with nature's laws â€" their mode of living was extremely simple, and in their daily life they followed the dictates of human in- telligence. If sickness comes, we of to-day, seek the remedy among the artificial forces instead of resorting to the field of nature. If when diseases come, we would con- sult nature, the chances are that we would then treat the cause of such dis- orders. Modern research has shown that most of the commonly known dis- eases owe their origin to the unhealthy state of the kidneys, the blood purifiers of the system, and if they are kept in a healthy state by the use of -Warner's safe cure, a vegetable compound and simple production of nature, much of the prevailing sickness would be happily averted. It is probable that the author of "She" derived many of his beautiful imaginings from close communings with nature, for we are all agreed that what- ever is of or from nature, is more beaut- iful and wholesome, than that which is JUST EECEIVED V i" 3 Carloads Finest Variegate Marble t3^ Largest stock in the Dominion select from.
