ChriBt." Commencing with the fact
that Christ lived, he points out that one
cannot contemplate this undisputed
fact without feeling that in some way
this fact is related to those now living.
Ho says that one can read of Alexan
der, of Caesar or of Napoleon and not
feel that it iB not a personal concern;
but that when one reads that Christ
lived and how He died he feels that
omo how there is a chord that stretches
from that life to his. As he studies
the character of Christ he becomes
conscious of certain virtuos which stand
out in bold relief- purity, humility, a
forgiving spirit and an unfathomable
love. The author is correct. Christ
presents an example ot purity in
.-thought and life, and man, conscious of
his own imperfections and grieved over

Farmers and Albany people are
urged not to forget the demonstration
train to be in this city next Saturday,
Nov. 7, from 8:45 to 10:30 a. m. The
city ought to be crowded. The train
will be a practical way to bring the
science of farming before people in a
manner that will make them under
stand. The train will consist of seven cars,
one dovotod to machinery and products,
one to horticulture, one to dairying,
one with stalls.' and cows for milking
demonstrations, etc.
The great need of this valley is up-to-date
farming, the kind that counts,
and such thingsfas this will certainly
help.
