The contract price for this piece of work is $5,500, and it is a part of the contract that the building shall he ready for occupancy by Septem ber Hist. next. Phis building is to be two stories high, and will Include four class rooms, eleven bed rooms, dining room and kitchen. The con struction will be of wood.

In his evening discourse Dr. Stokes spoke in anticipation of thc coining forty years, prophecying con tinued bet tennent of home and church and State, a higher and sin gle standard of morals, the constant advance of science and invention, the universal cessation of war. the world wide spread of the Cospel, and the federation of denominations - all tending to the recognition of the common fatherhood of Hod and the universal brotherhood of man.
