should not forget, after all thst Is said in
and out Of the pulpit, that there are few
Christians, outside the theateF, who have
contributed as Pat Short has done, $500 TO
the asylum az Lsuderdsle Springs.

dren. There were very fair arguments put
forward on both sides OF the question. By
debating Il calmly and thoughtfully for
half dozen meetings the whole merits Of
the case may be fully understood. The
