The Democratic advocate. [volume] (Westminster, Md.) 1865-1972, 1878-04-20

The interest of our citizens in the sue
cess Of this institution could not well have
been more fully manifested than it was at
the meeting in the Hall on Friday night
of last week. The house was packed, and
an enthusiasm in behalf of the College
seemed so pervade all present. The in
teresting statement of the operations of
the institution by President Ward, was
followed by able addresses By Prof Reese,
Hon. VIM. p. Maulsby, Hon. John +.
Smith, ReF j. B. Walker and James A.
c. Bond Esq. Resolutions expressive of
the sense Of the meeting were introduced
and adopted, and more active and earn
est feeling in behalf of the institution was
awakened throughout this community.
This has been attested since the meeting
by the fact that about ene-fifth of the re-
qaired sum Of $3.50 to place the insti
tuition firmly on its feet financially, has
been subscribed by Westminster and vi
entity. The proceedings of the meeting
are published in another place, and the
interesting statement of President Ward
IS especially commended to public notice

cate of intention to terminate the contract

Secretary Sherman will at once advertise

retary Sherman has prepared bill TO be
presented TO Congress for passage, to pro-
mote the deposits Of savings and the re-
funding Of the national debt. 1t proposes
that any holder of United States notes
may deposit them at any postal money
order office in the United States, aud shall
be entitled to receive, free Of charge, a
postal order on the Treasurer Of the Unit
ed States. Such postal orders when pre-
sented TO the Treasurer at Washington IN
sums of $40, or any multiple Ofthat sum,
shall be convertible into certificates OF de-
post of the United States Of the kind and
description provided for in the bill. These
certificates Of deposit are 70 be issued OF
denominations of $40, $50, S50, and 800,
and bear interest at the rate of $50 per
cent, for one year, and are then TO be
redeemed in United States four per cent,
bonds; and may be held by any national
bank for = portion of its reserve. The
Secretary is authorized to receive either

certificates of deposits at their market

bonds issued under suthority Of law, or
in lieu Of such bonds, q registered or in
scribed debt on the books Of the Treasury
similar in character, leaving the interest
to be compounded every SIX months. This
Is an excellent and well guarded measure.
and will not only be Of great assistance to
the government in refunding its debt at
lower rate of interest but also very
convenient savings investment for men Of
small means.

"A good many peoples nerves and
backs are quite unequal to the task OF
sitting through one religious service on
Sunday, an hour and half long, without
WEAKNESS and they think sermon OF
forty minutes "intolerably long" Some
of them will, however, pronounce con-
cert of two hours length quite short, and
sit without complaint through a play three
hours, long, with charming resignation.
A writer in the Methodist has been revly-
ing recollectiOns of OId-time church SER
vices that lasted six hours, with an inter-
mission of only thirty minutes when the
prayers were longer than modern sermons
and the sermons required more time than
the entire service does now. Either the
piety, the "narves," or the back-bones Of
this generation, have evidently developed
