unite all OF the women's societies under
one organization-The Women's Guild,
and an earnest plea was made to every
woman in the parish to attend the meet
ing at 1879 next Friday morning in the
church.
The future of st. Mark, the rector said,
will depend on the individual efforts OF
every one who has the interests of the
church at heart. The question Is often
asked, when shall We have a new
church? 2" The answer rests with
the congregation. 1t does not
seem expedient, however, to press
this project now. It would be a mistake
to begin too soon, before sufficient sum
can be raised to complete the work. A
big debt on parish is often a fatal en-
cumbrance. Let us view this matter
calmly and patiently. Any inconvenience
IN the way of coming long distance to
service can better be borne than the heavy
tax of contributions for building in times
when people are not prepared to give.
We have reason today to be full of hope
and consecrate ourselves anew to the SER
vice of Christ in this church where we are
appointed to do Gods will. At other
times in the years to come we shall open
the books and may our record then be as
good as that We have shown today. And
then, when the last account is given may
God grant us place and portion in the
heavenly reward that awaits the life well
lived on earth.

WITH A RAISED % BILL.
An Offender Captured While Making .
Second Attempt.

Second Attempt
A man who gave the police the name OF
r. S. Scarland was arrested yesterday by
Officer NJ. T. Powers upon charge OF ut
tering counterfeit money. He endeayored
to pass a raised 50 bill for SO.
Scarland entered Jackson street saloon
yesterday, and, tossing bill on the
counter, called for drink. The bartender
started to make the change, but ut
glance saw that the bill was raised from
81. and handed it back. Scarland exam
ined it carefully. and. appearing TO be
greatly surprised, paid for the drink with
silver.
The bartender was suspicious, followed
Scarland and saw him enter a secondhand
store. Officer Powers came up, was told
the circumstances and went into the
secondhand store and arrested Scarland
as he was endeavoring 10 have the bogus
bill changed.
The bill was raised by means of the fig
ure 10 being pasted over the figure =
wherever it appeared on the bill. The
work was very clumsily done, and the bill
could not have been passed upon any one
accustomed to handling money
For several weeks past complaints have

then engaged in conflict. The Mohammedans
defeated the Aryans, and destroyed all the men,
leaving the women. The princess and 800
women were all made widows at one blow.
News was brought that their husbands were
dead. They erected funeral pile, set ire
to it, walked on il and were consumed, saying:
we will not survive our dead The deed was
too great to DO forgotten. A monument was
raised learned pundits wrote books and poets
composed poems in praise OF their courage and
loyalty. These women were ignorant, but they
were loyal The custom has no holy writ no
sacred book, to support II
The same author says: western scholars
have said that 1t is custom in India for women
to throw their children into the Ganges. This
was never q custom. There were women who
had Legitimate children whom they wished to
get rid of. They feared to leave them on land
where they would be found, so they threw them
into the river. This is infanticide, which is
a crime that prevails in Western countries. 1t
was never a religious custom in India
Another fallacy relates to chid-marriage. No
such thing exists in India. Sir Edwin Arnold
SAYS, in the February number OF the North
American Rerietc, that no pauperism or proetitu-
ton exists in India as in the West Sir Edwin
says the reason is the practice OF child betrotha,
and that the same custom might be introduced
in our own country with beneficial results. 1t
is this: Boys at or years of age are betrothed
to girls of or z, by their parents. When the
boy reaches II or - and the girl Is or II mar
rage takes place. The marriage relation is not
assumed until after marriage. Should the boy
die before or after marriage, the girl is adopted
by his parents and cared for ever after.
