The root was laid in tne 13th and 14th centuries in the miracle plays, the oratorio itself de velonin? in the sixteenth century, and not in Italy but in Germany did it reach its perfection. there are only ihirty-eignt stanaara oratorios. Of these the Messiah. written by Handel in 1641, at the age of 56 years, in 23 days; Creation, Havdn's masterpiece, a little later, a composition requiring two years' time; KUiah, which toon Menaeissonn 4 years to compose, a hundred years after the Messiah, and St. Paul are tne oest. Prof. Palmer sang, with mucn reeling, selections from Messiah, a story of Christ, prophecy, sufferings, and ressur rection; The Creation, which suggests its theme: and Elijah, which Prof. Pal mer considers the greatest of all of them. During a resting spell Mrs. Palmer was heard in a pretty Beethoven sonata, splendidly presented. Prof. Palmer received many compli ments for the excellent program, an incentive to the b?st in music.

There is a free chart of in structions with every pattern a face appreciated by the women and one Chambers & UcCune knew nothing about. Women that have used Pic'.oral Re view patterns told of their many ad vantages over other patterns, most especially the tact that they are true to measure. Disturbed Again. Editor Democrat: That man back east, mentioned in tho Democrat, would not have done the deed he did if our divines would preach God's word instead of platonism, a relic of heathenism, that the church is eo loath to get rid of. The Bible teaches the dead know nothing until the resurrection morning, Ps. 14ti:4. besides God's word in no place says werhall go io neaven at aeatn, or at any otner time. To teach that the soul of man is immortal, and knows more in death than while living in this life is enough to make the devil and his imps laugh and dance with glee. One' would think our would be teachers could see the point and teach God's word. A. J. CAROTHERS. Morning Star Grange. Morning Star Grange No. 311 met on the 13th for an ail day session.
