THE TITLE OF REVEREND"

An interesting contribution to the history of
the title Of reverend, applied to the eler-
rymen. is made by the Rev. Brooke Lambert
in A letter 70 the London Times. Mr.. Lambert
says:
'.The registers OF the parish O. Tamwoth

reign of Philip and Mary, 1856. The first title

BUILDING ASSOCIATION.
The meeting for the organization Of a new CO
operative building association was held last night
at Marini's hall.
The attendance was larger than that Of Wednes-
day evening Iast, and there has never been
greater interest manifested in the organization
Of a building association.
The committee on the constitution reported the
Franklin constitution; which was read and
adopted.
The advantages OF the Franklin and Jefferson
prIncples over what is termed the 'hve-year
PLAN are very great and apparent. If a person
receives 81 OOO and agrees to return it in four or
five years by monthly installments, he necessarily
must have larger payments than IL he agrees to
repay in ten years IN monthly installnents, and
there is where the prE iplcs'Of these associations
help those who are trying TO purchase property.
At the same time they afford as great induce
mems to those OF the members. who place their
savings in the association rs an investment.
The following officers were elected, and 1t Will
be seen that they compose some OF our most sub
staptiaI business men: President, DIR. F. Howard;
vice president, Thomas Il. Pinieks; secretary,
John lay Edison: Directors; Japles Fras u. j. ID.
Free, H. II. TwOmbly. William II. MeLain, A. T,
Longley q. W. Fisher, George X. Thompson,
Edward Medler. J. G. Judd.
The unanimity and earnest manner In
which the Organization Of the Jefferson was ef
fected makes e success from the start.
