Grove in the United Presbyterian church of this place, Sabbath morning:. March 2, 1002. The editor was preseut, and at the close of the service, requested Mr. Grove to write the sermon for publication iu the FultonCounty News, which ho kindly consented to do. There is nothing denominational about it, and it will be found to be prof itable reading for anyone. Ed iron. Text: Ye lust, and hav: not. James 4:2. The thought of the text springs out of a contrast instituted, in the closing verses of the preceding chapter, betweeen heavenly wis dom and earthly wisdom. The former, "Is first pure, then peace able, gentle and easy to be en treated, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy." The latter, "Descendeth not from above, but is earthly, sensual, develish." Wisdom here, is manifestly to be understood, not in its narrow or limited sense, but in its com prehensive and commonly scrip tural sense. The wisdom from above intended here is, hence, the whole disposition of heart that is begotten from above, and put in contrast with those carnal and natural principles that hold sway in the unrenewed state; and even show themselves, in greater or less measure, in the renewed man throughout his earthly life. To this latter wisdom the apostle traces the strifes, bitter envyings, wars, and fightings that destroy the order, harmony aud peace of human society, and the unrest, distraction and confusion among the members of the human soul. Speaking of these evils he says "Whence come they?" "Come they not hence even of your lusts that war against the soul?" "Ye lust, and have not." The word lust, in our present use of the term, though not always, yet very commonly has a bad signification, expressive of desires springing out of the evil passions of man's nature. The scriptural sense is more general, expressive of ' strong desires either good or evil. For example, it is said, "We de sire that every one of you do show the same diligence" &c. The same word is used here in the orignial that i-- rendered in the text lust. So, also, when Christ said, "With desire I have desired to eat this passover with you" &c. the original word is the same ren dered in the text lust. Hence, the word lust means strong de sire. "Ye greatly desire and have not." My theme is, hence, Unsatisfied Desires. The experience expressed in the text is no uncommon one. We see it every day. We all ex perience it more or less every day. AncLthe fact suggests the inquiry, Why? And by following the context a little further we find the inspired answer in these words, "Ye ask, and receive not, because ye askamiss.thatye may consume it upon your lusts (plea sure). These desires are, hence, misdirected and therefore sinful and, consequently, unsatisfied. 1. Then let us consider some whatof their nature and the realm of their government in order to understand 2. The true and only remedy for their correction. Desires are native with us. They are doubtless God given en dowments, and essential faculties of our boing. . They are the real motive impulses of all our life ac tivities and aspirations. Man could not be man, nor fulfill the purpose designed by his Divine Creator without them. They were good gifts; and, "Every good - gift and every perfect gift is from above and cometh down from the Father of lights"&c. But when first bestowed, like man with all is other powers, they were wise ly and benovoleutly placed under divine government aud law. So long as exorcised within the lim its of divine prescription, they (Continued to fourth iif.) IOWA FALLS, lOWA. Breezy Letter From Rev. Geo. B, Shoemaker. Oranges Cheap er than Apples. Two years ago to-day I was in old McConnellsburg, after an ab sence of twenty years, looking in to the faces of old time friends, and trying to guess the names of one time boys and girls who had grown out of my recollection How I did enjoy the privilege of those few days among the people of my old home! I am free to con fess that with the coming of spring, the longing begins to grow within me to see the "old scenes" again; and if I were "flush" with money I would, e'er long, be wending my way to old Fulton for the three R's Rest- Recreation, and Reminiscence. On the money question, at least, for Jraveling purposes, I am somewhat like the Irishman who said to his friend, "Plase, sur, will yez lend meyure pipe and to- backy, and fale in yure pocket if yez have niver a match, while I load her," was for the material with which to proceed with his morning smoke. But I'll come sometime, if the Lord will per mit me. While in one of our grocery stores the other day, I noticed some navel oranges and apples placed side by side. The oranges were marked forty cents a peck, and the apples were marked six ty-five cents a pock. Which would you have taken? Oranges?. Well I did not, I took the apples, aud they tasted good and high too. The letter signed "Echo" in last week's issue interested me very much. I have some very distinct recollections of a num ber of persons mentioned therein; but have not the slightest idea who "Echo" is. No doubt he is a school teacher. I wonder if the following happened in his school. Teacher: "Johnnie, you will have to stay after school to-night. " Johnnie (dolefully): "I can't stay; I've got to go to the doctor and have an oppur-a-shun." Teacher: "Well, I'll operate first." We are having delightful weath er. To-day while the sun shined brightly, and there were appar ently no clouds, or, but very thin ones, there were patches of rain bows scattered all over the sky. They were to the north and south of the sun, and above and below the sun, aud one of considerable length immediately over our heads in the sky. I never saw such a display before, and they continued most of the morning. "Sun dogs" bright spots on ei ther, or both sides of the sun are common here, but the display to-day was of rainbows. We closed a month's revival meetings in our church' on last Sunday night. One hundred per sons professed conversion. The meetings were characterized by the old time fervor and enthusi asm. Almost every night some one or moro were converted. The closing meeting on Sunday night, March 2, was one that will long be remembered as a time when the Spirit manifested himself in convicting aud converting power. To God be the praise and glory for His marvelous work of grace. Miss Anna Gleason an evangelist from Illinois, led the meetings to this glorious result. To all my old friends a greeting and an adieu.

A very pretty home wedding took place near Clear Ridge, March 5, 1902, at the home of the bride's parents, Andrew J. aud Elizabeth Fraker, when their daughter, Miss Teressa, was uni ted iu marriage to Mr. Jesse B. Heefner, of Gracey, Pa. The ceremony was performed at noon by the pastor, Rev. J. R. Melroy, after which all partook of a very delicious wedding dinner, which every one heartily enjoyed. The young couple are highly esteemed by all that know them; and, that their voyage on the mat rimonial sea may be a very happy and prosperous ono, is tho wish of their many friends. Mr. Heef ner has purchased the home farm near Gracey where he intends to settle down in the near future. New Grenada. 19 inches was the depth of the snow at this place last Wednes day. Old 773, I. O.

Arthur Cunningham is a man now since Friday 7th inst. The anniversary was duly celebrated at his home on tho evening of that day by the young folks of the vil lage.

Ross Stains purchased George Shafer's fine Bob horse lately. Robert Ralph, son of A. D. and Alice Keith, died suddenly Sun day morning after an illness of about four weeks. The little fel low was aged about four years. Ho was first attacked by tonsili- tis, and when he had about recov ered from that, took pneumonia, which in turn, was followed by croup. This was more than his little body could stand. He was a bright child, and the parents alone, can tell how sadly he is missed, but their loss is his gain as he is safe beyond this vale of tears, free from all sickness and pain, to rest forever with the Sa viour who said, "Suffer the little children to come unto me and for bid them not for of such is the kingdom of Heaven."

An Eventful Year. Editoh. News,: We still think of our friends in Fulton county, while we are la boring in the Master's vineyard iu Clearfield caunty up here where we get the fresh breezes as they are wafted over tho sum mit of the Alleghenies. Fresh breozes did I say? well, yes, de cidedly "fresh," many times. We just now turned to our diary and find that the mercury ran down to 6 or 8 degrees below zero several times during February, and "zero weather" was common with us. We had about six weeks of elegant sleighing, though not at any time had we a heavy fall of snow. We are located six miles from Philipsburg, on a branch of the New York Central & Hudson Riv er R. R., with good railroad ac commodations and mail facilities. Our town is known as Munson Station. It has a population of about 1000 souls. The principal industry is mining. We have five "openings" within a mile of the parsonage. One of these "openings" changed hands about a month ago, which brought about the changing of hands, of $25,000. Our people are frugal and in dustrious, and, in general, good citizens. The year 1901 was a very event ful year to us. Reaching this point April 13, 1901, I found our people wanting to build a parsonage, which enter prise was at once begun," the con tract being given April 22, which specified completion of the build ing July 4th. Accordingly, "on time," there was finished a six room "T" house painted inside and out, good cellar, and neces sary out buildings. On the last night of July some heartless wretch set fire to our church the only church in the town proper (though two others stand in the suburbs), and burn ed it to the ground. By heroic efforts most of the furniture was saved. (The church was worth $2,300.) With renewed energy, our most courageous Board of Trustees took up the task of re building. The contract for anew and bet ter church the auditorium of which is 44 by 80 feet and the an nex 26 by 28 feet was let Au gust 28th. This building will be ready to dedicate early in April, which, when completed, will be as good a church building as there is in this county for the cost possibly $2,- 600 and that means complete in every way. During the month of Septem ber, the Hawk Run church, an other of the churches in our work was thoroughly repaired inside and outside at a cost of $240 alj of which is paid. This year it is expected that a new church will be erected at Winburn, the other one of our ap pointmenis at a cost of $1,000 or more. The membership on the charge numbers 110 -an increase of 20 duriug the year. We find by "casting accounts," that during the Conference year our people raised $1,100 for building and im proving. The pastor's salary of $550 will be paid, and the collections, up to former years. During all this time we have" been laboring under disadvanta ges. We have been laboring in sadness of heart. More than four months of tho time since June 1, there has been sickness in our home. At preseut my wife is ly ing very ill, indeed, with blood poisoning. We are hoping and praying for the cloud to be lifted. Friends, will you pray for us? Married. At the M. E. parsonage in this place, on Tuesday.March 11,1'JC2, by Rev. A. D.
