On last Sunday morning Dr. Wilson chose his text from Hosea,2:14: 15: "Therefore behold-1 will allure her and bring her into the wilderness, and speak comfortably unto her, and 1 will give her vineyards from thence and the valley or Acbor for a door ot hope." In the introduction Hosea was reviewed and it was shown that throughout the book the littleness of Israel, the greatness of God were set forth. God's enmity against the sins ol Israel but Ills desire to save her from them. lHt. Tht allurement Into the wlldernese was noted. God did sot blot out bis people or crush them for their sins, but allured them to Himself. He did not allow them to remain in tbe wilderness, but made It a place where He might speak oomfortably to tbom, and cheer them for their onward Journey. 2nd. There He gave them liberty in the place of bondage of sin to which they had been subject. 8rd. Great possessions were given her; vineyards i. e. all earthly Joys. The valley 01 Aehor, the entrance In the land of Canaan, hitherto cursed tor the sin of Achor now was to be turned to a door of hope, and should lead to ? land flowing with milk and honey 4th. The agent by whom all this was to be accomplished. Tbe Lord himself, an the wan derlng sheep are sought and reclaimed by tin Shoperd, so tenderly and lovingly, slnneri are reclaimed by Him. He demands that nc creature shall be put a6ove the Creator, thai we shall make no Gods of Mammon or ol Pleasure, and In return He will speak com, iortably unto as and turn tbe valley of A^Bl unto a door of hope.

His vim, energy and pluck tiave brought It op from a small double sheet to. a much larger eight page, sometimes twelve and somtimes more. Then tbe space tiiat advertisements did not take up was mostly filled with local news; now the whole world Is called upon for matter In its make-up, and there Is no better county paper to be tonnd, , WK ARE ALL MARRIED SOW.
