Pastors Meeting.

The regular meeting of the pastors
of GAINESVILLE was held Monday
morning.
There was full attendance and
quite an interesting discussion of
"Church Finances" Tithing was
put as the basis of offers, and no one
should give less than the tenth.
If we would adopt this method all
departments of church work would
get due attention.
Systematic giving was also con-
sidered as essential to church as to
State.
If the finances of our government
were as poorly managed as those of
the church the government would
not stand one year.
While we should give as an obi
cation and because it is due the
Lords treasury from us, yet ones
love for the cause should be the
prime motive.
Much time was devoted to the
discussion of the PASTORS relation to
the financial interests of the church.
He is to speak of these from the put
pit and use every effort to interest
the people. All the general enter
prises of his denomination are to be
kept before the denomination by
HIM. TIL re may G instances in
which it is prudent for him to soiit
contributions, but as a rule this
SHOULD be done by the officers OF the
church. Thorough business plans
by these will bring into the treasury
a sufficient revenue. AS to the
method, it was considered always
best to put the Offering directly and
plainly before the people; show
them their duty in the matter aud
then let them give
Money given for tn Lords Gus
must be given for that and for that
alone. Al methods where riVa nv
or some worldly matter is put as an
inducem mt are unS rip ural, while
the social element in chur h work i
never to be- omitted. Much OF our
present way of securing mon y, :
by public suppers, appealing to meu'o
pride to build up the town 10y fine
church buildings, is too much of the
world and should BE- let alone.
Let all strive to brig the p pie
up to the id that "Upon the fri
day of the week let every one of you
lay by him in store as God hath pros
per, d him"
Also, "Eo give to the Lord is Il
great gain and pleasant duty"
sit is more blessed to give than to
receive"

Improving on Dore.

May | contribute little anecdote about
the late Gustave Dore in addition to the
many that are told in and are drawn out
by Mr. Evelyn Jerrold's book? | was taken
to visit Dore once or twice in his Paris
studio many years ago. indeed, before the
German invasion. One of the party which
accompanied me on the first occasion was
a clever young Englishwomau, who had a
taste for painting and was beginning-iust
begiuning-to pratt ice the art with an en-
couraging promise of success. M. Dore
was working, think, at the Dream of
Pilates Wife"
The young lady did not like one of his
touches, and bluntly told him So Dore
smiled blandly-what may you next ex-
pect from an English girl? He argued the
point with her-she fancied that he did
not quite understand what she meant
which | think is quite possible. To my
horror she suddenly exclaimed, Look
here, this is what mean!''-of course she
spoke in Frcuch-and then she seized the
brush from the painters hand and pro-
ceeded to touch up after her own fashion
that bit of the figure on which she had her
own views. Everybody was horrifed-ex-
cept herself and Dore.
The painter took her movement with the
most exquisite politeness and the greatest
gravity. He studied the picture carefully
with the new and unexpected touch given
to it--looked mt it from this point and that,
rs if it were really II possible revelation to
him-and finally declared that the young
lady was perfectly right and that he would
adopt her practical suggestion. | wonder
if he actually did adopt it? | should rather
think not. But whether he did or not he
got us all well out of trouble.-Justin

The times are favorable we think, for
the presentation of new political ideals.
Strong men of the old type iron handed
warriors and stern legislators, are out of
date. On the other hand, the want of
tirmness and principle in co lnection with
political affairs was never more conspicu-
Gus. We want a new race of strong men,
in whom the gamester element shall be
wholly absent, and who shall aim to &C
complsh their ends not by personal tours
de force, nor yet by craft and fattery, but
by steady adherence to principle and pa
tient efforts to awaken the public to a
sense of their true interests
The strong man of the future will be
strong in knowledge and in social sympa
thy, and his strength will be spent, not in
efforts to perpetuate his personal ascend
ency, but in efforts to develop all that is
best in the society of the time. The true
strong man, as we conceive him, will have
uo greed for power; his greed, if such it
may be called, will be for usefulness, and
he will show his strength by his willing
ness to retire at any moment from a pub
lie to u private position rather than prove
unfaithrul to his convictions or do any
thing unworthy of II man Of honor.
Strictly speaking, n man who with ade-
quate knowledge and intelligence tries
faithfully to serve the public can never be
obscure, though Offices should not seek
him nor CauCuseS make mention of his
name. The public at large will recognize
and honor his efforts, and his influence
may be greater in u private station than
that of "A score Of average legislators
