The young lord was naturally melancholy, and the lawyer pro posed visit mg a theater opposite, which proposition was accepted. _ Therd was a slight fire in the thca- ter, whereupon the young lord was ■ y among the first to bolt, “like a rab bit,” out of the building. Return ing leisurely to the club, Mr. Wil- | liams found there his young friend quietly smoking a cigar. “What on earth made you bolt that wat ? You seemed frightened ,|.OUt of your wits (not a difficult mat ter perhaps). ,Don’t yoti know that on such an occasion if everybody got up and rushed out a jianic would ensue, with very likely fatal conse quences?

While ' these assets do not pay any dividend in i dollars and cents into the general vil lage fund as a well managed municipal; light and water plant may, yet are they equally a source of | ublic welfare, j and the essential value of every lo cality is enhanced by the existence of j churches, which help every community to discharge vital obligations. Every h( useholder in choosing a home selects preferably that community vehttae life and property is most secure and the surroundings moat conducive to the welfare of his 'amily. The; church is a preserver of life, property ! and moral welfare, and so a church . town is by common consent preferable j to a churchless community as a place of abode. It is almost inconceivable : to think of a village of nearly 3,000 j inhabitants with about 2,000 summer visitors being without and not requir ing any pol;cu protection. Yet that is a fact published in the town paper of Northfield, Mass., where this past summer their solitary constable was away in California . upon a vacation. This Massachussetts village has valua ble religious assets thru the moral tone ' given to the community by the loca tion there of the late Dwight i,. Moody’s Christian institutions. i The church as a preventative of crime and immorality brings a direct saving to the taxpayer as well as plac ing other advantages about himself and family. Consequently the fullest effectiveness of churches in tH$lr in fluence ought to be encouraged by every loyal, sensible and far seeing citizen. Revival meetings are essen tially a church’s attempt to make itself of highest value and efficiency to a community by intensifying its own members’ spiritual and moral life and by calling into actively beneficial — --------- 1!— before you jump at some Greater New York Propobitiuu you know nothing about It doesn’t cost anything and yon might save something.

JUST THINK Would you buy a house today that you would have to spend good money on to-morrow to make it look re spectable? It is not pyobable tint you would, providing yon could buy another, that suited you just as well, for the same price plus the cost of repairs. ; That Is Oar Proposition in a Nutshell A frame building must be painted every three years to preserve the wood and make it look respectable. This will cost from one to three hundred dollars. Assuming that a man owns a home for thirty years, this cost will be repeated 10 times. That means $1000 to $3000 spent for something that brings no Biaterial return. We have worked oat a system of construction planned to meet iho many objections to the cement block and it is as far superior to it as gold is to silver. No more dead looking, wat-r soaked walls. We have passed that stage and are offering the prospective builder something that ia dry, bright nnd attractive. The cost of this construction is but little more thqji frame apd the saving in paint bills alone will give yonr children a snug litile nest egg. Should yon desire to sell, what an argument that would be.—No $200 paint bills every three years. ..

About fifty men sat down at the well-laden tables. After the repast, served by the ladies of the Church, S. R. Smith, in a short address, interpreted the significance of the event and th in suggested some im- proniptu remarks by those present. The audience first called on the pastor, who spoke and introduced a new Class Song, “ Tne Man of Galilee,” which was sung with great heartiness. He was followed by a number of others, including Prof. R. L. Smith, W. B. Osterhodt, S. N. Gibbons, George Wal lace, R. H. Hunt, C. M. Flint, Itaac VanRipe^, W. E. Colder and Harold E. Brown. An intermission for social converse was declared and greatly en joyed. The class, which had had a temporary organization for some (ime, adopted a formal constitution, and elected officers for the ensuing year, as follows: Teacher, Prof. Roy Leon Smith; president, S. R. Smith; vice president, W. E. Colder; secretary, if. H. Hunt; treasurer, C. ,P. Seaman; librarian, John Cornelius. The char ter members number 38. The class meets from 12 m to 12:45 p. m. every Sunday, for study in “ The Life of Christ, by Mark,” and is to havesociql and other features connected with i All men who wish to study the Bible in | this way, whether members of the I church or not, are welcome. Union Evangelistic Meetings to be held in Freeport during January may be practically called a vital step in the development of this village by making it a better place in the creation of bet ter men and : women through the staunch principles of Christian living into which these religious ^ meetings lead persons. Every citizen who is interested in having a “ Greater and Better Free port,” should zealously co-operate with the churches which are planning to develop a more Christian Freeport. It is hoped that everybody will conse quently lend hearty support and sym pathy to the followng committees in their work for the approaching Union Evangelistic Meetings as they are in the highest and best sense a “ Village Improvement Society.” Sub-commit- tee on Cottage Meetings: Chas.
