FIRST PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH TIiis beautiful church is one el the a> w and cntumodio'.:-: buildings that hare liiM-n finished and put into us during the pact summer. Ii rras dedicated on June IIUli with appro priate and impressive ceremony and >s proving every week ils Justlfiea >1 on for existence by the wav in which it is being used for the good of the community. It is built of fine red pressed brick with cement trimmings, and is gen erally conceded to be a most, beauti ful and commodious structure. The train auditorium is fifty five feet square with a nicely bowled floor, and when filled by the usual congre gation is found to be a pleasantly lighted, comfortably seated, and con venient room for general public gath erings. The annex or Sunday school room is fifty five by thirty feet and Is equippeed with separate class rooms, a pastor's room, and .a separ ate room for the library and secre tary of theschool. In the basement will be found a splendid arrangement for carrying on the business and social side of the chttrch’s work. A good primary room. Immln il children, a completely ap potntcd kitchen with cupboards, draw-' crs. tables, sink, hot and cold water, 1 range and what not, necessary for the easy and constant use of the ladies. A complete new sit of beautifully clear white dishes and new sliver spoons, and table ware of ail kinds hearing the imprint of tiie church on il may he found then*. The dining room is fifty five feet long and twen ty-seven feet wide, beautifully lighted and with a ceiling that averages ten feet. Here will he found all the necessary tables, chairs, and other implements neeessnrj for a success ful attack on the good things the ladies prepare to eat. In Hie south east corner of the basement is the I gymnasium twenty-seven feet square. Some of the “tools for playing" have been secured, and others will be ad ded as fast as money can be ac cumulated with which to buy them. Then there is the lady's rest room and coal cellar. The system heating plant is proving the right thing in the right place, keeping the whole of the large building warm on the cold est days without any effort in drlv lug it. A description of the mater ial sub of this church would be in complete without mention of the splendid pipe organ which adds so much to the dignity and efficiency of the public worship. The organ was presented and installed by Mr. Henry ( Smith, one of our honored towns men and is very highly appreciated b both pastoi- and people. We find Dr. Hailey not very coinmunicative as to Hi actual cost of this building which was erected under his personal super vision. but we have no doubt that one like it in quality and convenience and equipment will esriously spoil the look of $20,000. W. C. T. U. Abraham Lincoln said: “For thirty years I have been a temperance man Had it not been for my total-abstin ence principles in the early days of my temptation. I should probably gone the same way that so many of my companions went who lived drunk ards' lives and are filling drunkards' graves.” THE FARMER’S LIBRARY. Every farmer should have a work j nig library, a library for his own use and the use of his hoys who are in terested in farm work. A library is not something to lie bought all at once. No good student buys a large number of books at one time. People who wish to have the reputation of being "literary” will buy large num bers of books, put them up on elegant shelves but these books are seldom r< ad. Really good books are like , medicine, which should be bought in ; small quantities as wanted for use. One of the best foundations for a , good working library for the farmer i is copies of three or four of the best I farm papers. There is no one’paper I that covers the whole field of agri culture. if ip,' farmer is engaged in j stock breeding, he should have a j breeder’s paper, the best he can get. If lie is engaged in general farming | be should have a farm paper that reaches the principles and the prac i ice of the kind of farming suited to j his section of the country. If he is j engaged in dairying, lie should have a dairy paper, the very best he can get. Our readers all know the names of the best in those classes. Then keep files. These papers will furnish an index for each year. Have them hound in volumes, and thus lay the the foundation for your library. The I reading of these papers will from time to time suggestbooks you should purchase. If you are engaged in horticulture to any great extent, you want a hor ticultural paper, or at least a paper that gives special attention to this subject. If your good wife is engaged in poultry farming, as she probably Is, then secure for her the best poul try paper to be had anywhere, and do not hesitate on account of the price, j To these add books on special sub jects as you become interested in them. This is your working library. It does not, however, suffice for the needs of the farm. Your children should have the best literature to be found. Don't buy a novel unless it has been before the public five years and is still selling. This shows it, reaches the right spot. One can safe ly invest, when opportunity offers, in the works of the standard novelists, Such as Dickens, Scott, Thackeray, and others: blit as a rule it is well not to buy any novels except those that have been time tested. Don't pure base any books that your ehildre will not be anxious to read later on. In this way you will gradually in crcn -e your library from year to year and ti.oid the accumulation of a great deal of useless rubbish. Where books are linn lit indiscriminately or hastily and without previous knowledge of their contents, they occupy shelf space to no purpose and often the far mer would be better off if be would make a bonfire and*burn a good man of them. Ordinarily nowadays there is little danger of children getting too few books to read; while there is a good dt al of danger of their getting too many worthless ones. That was a wise saying, “Deware of the man of one book" the inference being that, the book was worth reading to begin with, and that he has read it so thoroughly that it is like iron in his blood. The children growing up can not well do with out a good encyclopedia and a first class up-to date diction ary. You can afford !o spend money for these things. Whatever books you purchase, see that they are written in plain, direct terse English. It is a waste of the child's time to let him read slipshod writing. To lie useful in any depart ment of life, he should have a vocab lary; tiiat is, an assortment of words, words tiiat will enable him to express himself on any subject; and tlie nearer his books come to being written in English undefiled, the bet ter he will talk, the better lie will write and otherwise express himself, for all time to come. Every child ought to have that quaint old book, Banyan's Pilgrim’s Progress, if for no other reason than to show him the use of the simplest and most effective English When you come to speak of the source of English undefiled, how ever, there is no book, that, even for purely literary purposes, is equal to the liible; and every child should liav one with his or her name in it— a 1 lace Farmer. i * Salesmen Wanted. *•> !
