'1 hut kind of work is outlawry, and does the cause of temperance no good, but inst< ad conduces to its positive injury. People who desite to enter upon a Christian life and live consistently as such, should weigh well the following the yard, a just weight and a just measure. It means honesty In all dealings, purity in all conversation, a charity as bn ad a » the race, unllinching integrity, sympathy, humanity to man. lovaltv to God.

Goshen holds on tenaciously to the hope that she may vet get the Three I extension. She claims that the route has n>t yet been settled, and will therefore continue to make a light for the n ad. It looks as if Goshen were hoping against hope, as the South Bend-Walkerton route seems to have decidedly the inside track at the present writing. Still railroad extensions are sometimes uncertain, and there is no telling what may develop yet. Rev. Goss' subject at the M. E. church last Sunday morning was “Justification," taking his text from the first verse of chapter 5 of Romans: “Therefore being justified by faith we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ." The subject was presented in a very interesting and able manner. At the conclusion of the sermon the doors of the church were opened to those who wished to become members. Sixteen went forward to the altar and joined on probation. Rev.
