DR. WILSON'S SERMON.
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.

KIND WORDS FOB THE EDITOR OF THE PRESS
AAD BANKER.
We congratulate Editor Wilson of the Press
and Banner on his long and successful career
in Journalism. Wedouot very much if there
ia Mnnth'er naner in tbe Siate that can boast
of anyone having been oonnecled with It as
emRluyee or editor as can the Piess and Banner
in the person ol its present editor, who
began hip connection with the paper forty?i
one years ago. 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.
Rev. Peter Stokes, in charge of the Lowndesvllle
Station, left here Thursday and went to
