This season so far Is noted for its
almost entire lack of clover, which
means a loss of one of the richest, most
nutritious portions of our ordinary crops
The dry weather may account In part
for It but not entirely. During the hot
week early in May it grew very rapidly
This rapid growth also made It unusually
tender. Generally it Is so hardy as not
to be affected Dy trie frosts, Dut the re
peated severe frosts of last spring were
too much for It, killing much and giving
the rest such a check as to prevent
further growth.

STEPNEY AND VICINITY.
REV H. MT. JONES DELIVERS HIS FARE
WELL SERMON.
It was with feelings of uncertainty that
the members of the Stepney Baptist
church , entered their sanctuary, last
Sunday afternoon, when Kev H. W
Jones, who has been their pastor and
leader for the past two years, was to
preach his last sermon to the people
Itumors were rife that he would make it
warm for some members of his church
but contrary to expectation, be proved
himself very sensible and gave as bis
farewell words a sermon that was filled
with good spiritual truths. The facts
that have led up to i he resignation of
ltev Mr Jones are well known. When he
first came to Stepney be was universally
lined, being a orient speaker ana verv
social with his people. But be had not
been here lone before be started a cru
sade against the wrong doing he saw In
the town, and in his enthusiasm and zeal
in trying to ferret out wrong, many think
ne overstepped tne Dounas oi ms canine
At any rate it had the effect to divide bis
church, some supporting him and some
working against him. Such a state of
affairs can never promote a deep religions
church growth and fervor and owing to
tnese circumstances people ana pastor de
cided to separate, l ne cnurcn was well
filled when ltev Mr Jones stepped for
ward and announced the text for the ser
mon. The Scripture passage was taken
from Joshua 17:14, "The Lord hath
blessed me hitherto," and the theme was
"A retrospect of the past." Said the
Ereacber in part : I presume one of the
ardest things to try to do is to try to
please every body. 1 never aia ana i nev
er will. Joshua was placed in a very pe
culiar and trying position wnen ne bad
to divide the land among the claimants
and notwithstanding the fact that though
ne was a wise man oi uoa ana divided
the land ot Canaan justly, yet there were
tnose wno complained. That is the way
with men to-day ; not satisfied with God's
dealings with them. They were not sat
isfied with the Lord Jesus Christ when
he was on earth and I believe were he to
come to earth to-day he would have the
same barriers to break down now as he
had then, for men would not be satisfied
with him. No Christian man or woman
has a right to grumble and as the best
parting word i can leave with you
would say be satisfied with your. lot.
Look at the grand old truth of predesti
nation. Some of you don't like it, but I
believe In It, and 1? I only implicitly trust
In God I believe all will be well. Some
of you are only to your ankles In the wa
ters oi uoa's grace, but launcn out. for
the waters of God's grace are deep enough
to swim ana enjoy yourselves in. Uod
has let some sunshine Into every life so
that none need be entirely Id the shade.
The trouble with so many Christian peo
ple Is that they will sit In the cold and
shiver and will not go to the source of
neat to get the warmth. The text has
two principal points. First a confession.
You and I are either lost or saved, but
the man who Is wearing a spotless robe
of Christ's righteousness, whether he be
in the pale of the church or not, I believe
la a Christian. lie then referred to God's
Highest of all in Leavening Power. Latest U. S. Gov't Report
ABSOUITEE.Y PURE
unchangableness, His justice in that all
men are equal in bis sight no matter what
their position here, His blessings which
run through the life of a Christian like a
silver thread. He then referred to a
mother's love and to his sick baby girl,
saying that though God in bis infinite
wisdom saw fit to take the little jewel to
Himself, Heaven would but seem the
dearer to him from the thought of her be
ing there. His closing words, he stated,
were not for the audience but ' for the
members of the church. Two years ago
I came among you and from this pulpit
preached from the text, "Bear ye one
another's burdens." Have you been do
ing it? In my ministry I have only
preached one farewell sermon and I mean
never to preach another, for when I'm
through 1 step out and that is the end of
Jones for the present. I said when I firBt
came that it any had a grievance against
me to come to me personally and tell me.
Have you done it? 1 ou know you have
not. lam ashamed to leave Stepney and
I am ashamed that I have ever been the
pastor of the Stepney Baptist church, be
cause the Stepney Baptist church wont
eat and when a church wont eat look out
for Mr Devil skulking in. The service
of prayer has been sadly neglected, but
if you want the church to grow you must
pray, and pray earnestly. Some have
said that Jones has had too many irons
in the fire, but I don't think so. I wish I
had hat 25 more. It wasn't the Christ
ian people who had said that, but Mr
Devil. One of the society's committee
has told tns that he did not believe in this
work I was carrying on (referring to the
work of trying to suppress illegal rum
selling), but I believe the church should
be strong against the rum and rum poli
tics of this country. The brave men who
went to the front did not fight for brib
ery but for honor and that is what tbe
church of Christ should fight for. Ail I
have to say in closing is that our time
has come to part. Be men, be women,
and loin the ranks of those moving on
ward to the land where parting? never
come, and I say farewell, farewell. May
we meet in Heaven where partings never
come
The ordinance of the Tord's Supper
followed the sermon. Just before tbe
service Rev Mr Jones apologised to Dea
Burr Hawley before the church for his
unchristian conduct toward him since he
had been in Stepney and then continued
with tbe communion service.
