His first point was that the religion of Christ is based upon svents. It is not speculation, argument, thought merely. Something has happened. Jesus lias lived. It is not a myth that is the basis of the Christian faith. It is reality,

The usual provisions for water and gas pipes ars of Christ would remain. We should have it still in the records of St. Paul. Paul wrote to Christians in widely sepa- rated cities-Rome, Corinth, Galatia, Philippi. There were, then, psople in all these cities drawn out of heathenism by the power of Christ. Even if the whole New Testament were lost we should lose that which is of inestimable made, and the order is not to abridge

placs in this world would still remain in this Christian church.

The second point was that the Chris- tian religion is based upon great idsas, grest thoughts, doctrinas. Its great Idea about God is that He is a Father, that

He is love to men. Its idea of man is that He is a child of God and a brother to svary other man; that there is in Him a certain divine elsmant to bs realized

MR. EDITOR: As tbsre has been some criticism in regard to the expanse at the almshouse the past year I wish to state just what that expense was for. The overseers of the poor last year asked for an appropriation of $5,000 for the sup- port of the poor for the ensuing year, which was granted. They then asksd for an appropriation of $1,000 for making some improvements at the almsbouse that were recommendsd by the agent of the State Board of Associated Charitiss at his annual inspection here. This was also grantsd-two separate appropria- tions for two separate purposes. If they had been kspt separate and re- ported ssparate on the annual report sveryons would have seen at a glance what the ordinary sx >enses of maintain- ing the almshouse were; that instead of $2,748.90 it would have been $1,748.90, which, with the dsduction of $325.76 dus from the almshouss, makes $1,423 .- 14, which is correct, making a cost of $1.72 1-3 per week for each person sup- ported at the almshouss, including su- perintendent's family, help and visitors. Ths $1,000 appropriated for improvs- ments ware expended for that purpose and the overssers bave told you in their report what those improvements wers, and, of course, are an addition to the real estate and are in no way connected with the ordinary expanse of the alms " house. This explanation is due ths overssers of the poor and the superiu- tandent. N. B. STONE, Supt.
