One Of St. Paul's distinguished citi-
zens who reIaioes in the title Of gen
eral, and whose name is O household
word all over town, Is q mecber of
the Presbyterian denomination. In
former years he used to cross the
ocean quite frequently, and eaoh time
before venturipg put on the briny
made bis will in which he bequeathed
good round sum to the church OF
which he is q pillar, for building
fund. But he always passed through
the perils Of the great deep with safety
and returned home in Better health
than ever before. Then he would tear
up the will and leave the church out
in the cold again, This sort Of thing
has become rather monotonons to the
congregation, and it is understood
that they have taken matters into
their own hand aud will make up a
building fund by subscription instead
OF waiting longer for the demise OF
the healthy church member.-St Paul
