4 Suggestion.

NR- EDITOR: May ! be allowed 10
make 4 suggestion with reference 10 the
future storage Of water and prevention OF
water iamines. We shall no doubt have
rain sometime in the near future, and
while the Nuuanu reservoirs are dry
why not line them with Portland cement,
and so prevent the little water that runs
into them during the daytime TO nearly
all disappear in the night through
seepsge. All the apologies they have
made as vet in Nuuanu Valley are mud
holes, and can never serve as reservoirs,
unless something practical is done TO
prevent the water from escaping
through the bottom. Now is the time to
do good work, and not Z" mahope.'

Rev. DR.. Kerr Preparing a Book for The
Presbyterian Church.

Rev. DIR. Kerr Preparing a Book for the
Presbyterian Church.
For year or more the Rev. Robert P.
Kerr. D. d., of this city, has been engaged m
the preparation Of book Of hymns and
tunes
II is 70 be called The Hymns Of the Age.'
and is intended 70 contain the cream ~ 'he
hymns and tunes of all countries and al pc
RODS of the Church's history.
At the same time IL is 20 be n comparative
small collection, consisting Of less than seven
hundred hymns
II will be the same size as that of the Eps.
copa Church of the United States and that q
the Church Of England.
The present book of the Southern Preshyte-
rian Church. including the. psalms and hymns,
consists Of more than 100 pieces. many az
which are never used. while some very yalu-
able sacred lyrics are wanting from the cole
lection.
DR.. Kerr has aimed. the Central Presbyte-
rian will say IN its issue to-day, 10 supply the
long-felt want of praise book of moderate
size TO contain none but pieces of real merit.
In the prosecution of this work. which has
been very labOrious. he has ayailed himself %
the taste and experience of a number Of MIN
isters in different portions Of the Church.
He has had the active assistance of the Rev.
Drs NJ ID. Hoge. w. 5. Lacy, L. ID. Wlther-
spoon, J. =. Smith and others.
1t is Ia be published in n short time. and Is
intended 10 be sold az an extremely low price
To put it within the reach Of all. so that m
churches in which II shall be adopted ever
worshippcr may have a book.
II is prepared and designed 10 promote tho

The special committee Of the Board N nj.
rectors of the Young Mems Christian Associa-
ton, who had been appointed soon after tho
death of Secretary wilkinson Ia recommend
a successor. had requested Mr.. 5. W, Trayers,
the president Of the association. TO call meet.
ing Of the,Board for last night. The meeting
took place in an upper room OF the building
and lasted nearly three hours.
The following directors'were present: Messv.
S.sW. Travers, Il. VI. Quarles. John r. West,
s. III. Bowman b. f. Johnson. Charles II.
Willis. w. J. Whitehurst, r. s. Bosher and
R.A Lancaster The utmost secrecy was
observed in regard TO the proceedings. and
even the notwithstanding of the association.
Mr. James $. Atkinson. who usually records
M the meetings of the Board, was excluded
Mr.. Lancaster acting in his place. State Sec.
rotary II. O. Williams, who had Just returned
from the State Convention at Lexington, Ky,
was closeted with the directors.
When the directors finally emerged from
their meeting room they were as dumb as
oysters. the promise having been extorted not
10 utter a word about the result OF the meet
ing. Ii was stated that the next meeting
the Board would be held on Thursday Mar
5th. and that on that day the result would be
made known.
What little there could be learned.after the
meeting points TO the fact that none of the ap.
plicants before the Board would be considered
FOR the reason that the gentlemen IN question
dill not possess any experience IN the WORK.
Thereby remains only the name OF Mr. AK.
Candlish before the Board, and lnasmuch as
he has never been an applicant FOR the place
INT j. ver,, HIGHLY recommended for the posi-.
ZION low those who are familiar with his work.
il is reasonable to suppose that he VIII b. t.e

He thought that about 1880. would be
sufficient 10 start the library, and later on 1t
might be advisable to ask the Legislature TO
combine the State Library with the pubic IL

Richmond had no means to study the history
of their own State. unless they could 60 10 the
State Library between the hours OF , IN the

The history of jamestown, for instance. was
hardly known 10 any extent IN this city untll
about six months ago The question had been
agitated recently to start magazine for the
South. but this could not be done without
good library, which would have to furnish the
material. Outside of the churches the only
influences for good in this city were the MO
Fart Association and the Young Mems Chris
tan Association. 49,
Mr.. Page stated that he was willing 70
pledge himself to move the Rosemary Library
into a more centrally located house on Nam
street. and he urged the advisability of form
ing an association for the establishment ol
library.
For this purpose application blanks would
be distributed at the close of the meeting,
which. when properly filed out, shouIu ps
sent to Mr.. Henry Hutzler, the secretary Oh
the Rosemary Association, or 10 MI Mere-
dith its treasurer He added that during the
day he had already received subscriptions
amounting 10 800.
A motion was then made that all those
present who were willing % form the assoGla-
ton should signify it by their vote. ms
was done. and nearly the whole audience as
seuted
II twas then decided TO enlarge the Executive
Committee to twenty five members. ,
4 motion was made and carried 10 fix the
membership fee ut : per year, but this mo-
ton was afterwards reconsidered and the
whole matter left for the Executive Committee
to decide at the suggestion Of Judge Wexford.
