Editor Brookhauen Ledger
We hear that the. members OF the Pres
bvterian Church of Brookhaven have long
desired, for many good reasons, to have
their church placed in a more convenient
and suitable locality. This feeling is
unanimous. lust now the opportunity TO
make a move towards the accomplishment
of that purpose presents itself The first
thing is to sell the property as it now
stands. A purchaser can easily he found.
Then, having settled upon the location,
which Will be generally acceptable, the
congregation can lend all their energies
towards he erection of a new and suitable
church building.
1t is a great thing to know how to i'm
prove an opportunity promptly. The man
that IL ready to perceive and quick to act is
| always sure to succeed; while the allow and
irresolute and inlecisive seldom accom-
piish anything. This ia 40 Iess true Of
churches. Their very life sometimes de-.
ponds upon their arousing themselves from
lethargy and indifference ancl entering
upon a new departure Of harmony and
united activity.
We would like to ask the Presbvterians
of Brookhaven if il is not time for them
to lay aside all personal preferences and
differences, and in common love for their
church. and above all, to Christ himself,
to mite their efforts to hnIld np and estab-
lish it here upon a foundation stronger
than heretofore?
It ia not lack -of sufficient membership;
il is not lack of intelligence; it ia not even
D ,verty. Can il BE- possible that their z9st
for the church of their own choice. and.
nerhaps. of their fathers and mothers
before them, has dwind'ed down to 80 low

wounded, bleeding and dvi,g without
lifting a finger to raise her mp. molly her
wounds and restore her to health and
vigor? Look even at her poor. fo'orn
building, covered with dust and cob.webs.
and everything about the house showing
the absence of even ordinary cleanliness.
n~eatness and order! Is it not a disgrace?
What q sin timiditv becomes when it in
~terferes with duty I What a pitifnl spec
tacle to zee persons destitute Of moral
courage to take hold and even lead when
others refuse to act Lord, what wilt
thou have me to do?" is the great inquiry.
The question of personal duty should
press upon each ones conscience and do Il,
do ii nor!
We learn that a congregational meeting
ia soon to be called to consider the questions
Of selling the present property and select
irg another church site. Nav all the
members attend. May tb v all act in the
spirit of concession, harmony and unity !

Quarantine Violation.

One day last week Mr.. Joe Allen
came from Byram on the train, and was
fined $50 for violating the quarantine
ordinance. Before he got off the train,
he was Informed of the ordinance. He
appealed his case to the Board OF Alder
men, and they recommended that the
Mayor reduce the fine. which he did.
The action has caused soma talk aud
the general opinion seems to be that
the fine shpnid nave remlined at so,
AZ it was clearly a case of violation OF
the quarantine ordinance. The quar-
antiue has received a heavy blow.

A Card.


Editor Broohhaven LEDGER
The fact of Mr.. Aliens fine being
reduced from $50 to 80 20 last week,
has caused me to be charged with re.
ducing our quarantine ordinance to a
nullity, 80 l am informed. | would
respectfully ask those who make the
charge to remember that the authority
OF sthe Board Of Aldermen is para
mount to mine, 80 far as decisions Of
my court are concerned. They sus-
tanned my decision, but recommended
me to remit Or reduce the fine. when
an appeal was taken to them. They
were masters of the situation. and l
could hardly do less than obey their
command, even if it was couched in
the form of advice.
Respectfully yours.
