SHORT SERMONS FOR BOYS.

Most boys and girls do not like
sermons; they say they are too long
for their highnesses. Perhaps they
like these short sermons. They will
give food to think over, and must
not be read too hastily.
A Swedish boy fell out the win.
dow and was badly hurt, bnt with
clenched lips be kept back the cry
of pain. The king, Gustavus Adol.
phus, who saw him fall, prophesied
that the boy would make man for
an emergency. And so he did. He
became the famous General Bauer.
A boy used to crush the flowers to
get their color, and painted the
white side Of his fathers cottage in
Tyrol with all sorts of pictures,

An old painter watched q little

"a member of the board of public
works: eve understand that the board
was established in order to save money
to the city, not to spend 1t uselessly.
We placed the wages of men working
for the city at $l.25. which is the highest
price paid by private parties. The city
can get all the men it wants at that price,
but the council must step in and raise
the salaries to $3.50. 1t was wrong for
the board to place the salaries at SIPS,
80 says the council, but it was all right
for the latter to hire competent engin-
eer and his wife for the water station
for $i3l month. and a man and his
wife to take care of the hospital for $40
month. Those salaries are high enough
says the council, but each laboring man
must receive 81. so day, or $40 u month.
There are plenty of men who offer to
give % cents day of their pay even to
get job from the city, in order TO sup
port their families. look upon 1t that
by paying 81 % the city can employ one
sixth more men, thus supporting that
many more families during the coming
winter, when so many will certainly
need assistance, and at the same time
have more work done for the money. |
don't think that the cry was raised in
the council for political purposes, or out
of demagogery, but from the honest
conviction of the aldermen, but | hold
that they are wrong. There is or should
be no contest between the board and
the council. We are trying to do our
duty according TO the spirit and letter of
the charter and are working solely for
the city's interests"

INTERESTING INSTALLATION
SERVICES.

The ceremonies attending the installa-
ton of Rev. 1. L. Cory as pastor of the
Congregational church, yesterday after
noon and evening, passed off very hap
PLY. The church council met in the af-
ternoon and listened to a thesis which
the pastor had prepared and read. At
forwards number of questions were
propounded to him, which we're satlsfac-
torily and clearly answered. The coun-
Gil then accepted the pastor. In the
evening the church was well filled by
the congregation and interested specta-
tors. The scribe read the minutes of
the afternoon council meeting and ex-
animation. Rev. WILDER Fiske, of Free
born county, opened the services with
prayer and reading of Scripture, which
was followed by a finely rendered duet
by Miss Hale and Mr.. Manly Haynes,
and hymn by the church. Rev. c. +.
Thwing, of the Minneapolis Plymouth
church, preached the recognition SER
mon. He is young man of pleasing
address and scholarly attainments. and
preached fine sermon. Itwas the first
time that the majority of his hearers had
ever heard him preach, and he made a
good impression. Rev. G. w. Merrill of
Minneapolis, offered the installing pray
err. Rev. J. E. Smith, of Waseca, ex-
tended the right hand of fellowship in a
few appropriate and touching words.
Rev. A. III. Heath, of the st. Paul
Plymouth church, proceeded to give the
address to the pastor. He is very IN
teresting and graceful speaker, full of
wit as we'll as wisdom. His address was
one of the best and most practical that
has been heard in this city for many
day. He gave the new pastor goodly
amount of advice as to his conduct and
efforts ss minister of the gospel, which
was replete with the accumulated wis
dom of long experience. The congre-
CATION learned not little by it, and some
very good and exceedingly pertinent
hits were made which certain members
of almost every congregation could profit
by. Rev. Heath left very good inn
preston among his hearers.
Rev. John Morley, the State Superin-
tendent of Missions, of st. Paul, gave
the address to the people, and told them
of their obligations to their pastor, and
how and in what spirit they should full
fill it. His remarks were pointed and
| well received, and if carried out would
make the performance of the pastors
duties much easier and more pleasant.
At the conclusion of the services hand
shaking was INDUCED in, and Rev. Cory
received the congratulations of all pres
ent. He begins his passionate in this city
under the most favorable circumstances.
The church is finely finished, pleasant
and free from debt. The congregation
is large, united and already ardently at
tached to him, and there is every reason
to believe that the relations between
church and pastor will ever remain the
most cordial. Rev. Cory is an earnest
Christian, deep thinker. an incisive
writer and good speaker, and person
ally pleasant, and more than this no
church could ask.
The council met again this forenoon at
' nine o'clock and proceeded to examine

has not at present enough money to
spare to make the fair grounds into a

down the fences and buildings, think
that it would be better to hold fairs there

be successful that it will be profitable to
