Good Wheat Crop Outlook. Reports from the different sections of the state agree that the outlook for the wheat crop is excellent and that the recent freeze lias had no effect upon it. But few sections have had any of the stalks jointed and even in these the damage was not great. Far-

mers say that the prospect is the best in years, and that with the continuance of favorable conditions the crop will be an exceptionally good one. Work is greatly advanced in all other crops, and the oats which were sown in March have already come up and show a healthy growth. Ground has been broken for corn in all sections and the crop will be planted two weeks earlier than usual.

The party had pretty fair luck, but it remained for one of the Chicago gentlemen, Mr. Magnan, to carry off the honors. He caught one of the finest bass ever taken out of Koontz's lake. It weighed six pounds and a half by actual weight, which would make it a good eight pound fish at least. Mr. Magnan is only a novice at fishing, and no one was more surprised than himself at his cutch. The expression on his face, it, is said, when he hauled in the big fish, would have been a study for an artist. Messrs.

His first reason was a physical People are physically profited ^^congregating together and expeißncing a change of thought end tin* ^lifting influences of animated ora®ry.

Mr. Gillette's peroration ay powerful and effective. The s«r .■pen was apparently extempore and iJleld th© ur. hvebJ alteuti n of a large audience. M. E. CHVIK H. Rev. Slock Larger preached a very interesting sermon List Sunday evening, having for his subject, “Behold, a sower went fmth to sow.” Jesus used simple illnstralimis to tench the truths concerning his Kingdom. The sower is every Christian. The seed is the word of God, that produces swlvn ] lion,.joy and peace. It can be found ] tn flowers and sky, but few see it then*. It is revealed in the Bible, yet many fail to be iud lenced. It must be made

couck tn. It is so in lifr of Jesus. It is so in every one who has tin* spirit of Jesus. The sower went forth on Monday and Tuesday purposely to sow. That is to be our first business—xvhether at work or play. We can do it only as we constantly enquire—How would Jesus do this work ? How would be treat this man? How would he enjoy this recreation? The Christian ought to be a greater sower in politics. Christian citizenship can be exalted by sowing the seed at the ballot box—by voting only for honest, moral men. Our responsibility rests in the sowing.
