plause The performance glided with rapid az
ton from the first to the last scene. and the
heavy scenic sets were placed and removed with
CELEBRITY. Taking into consideration the short
time allowed for preparation, the number of
characters III the cast and the vast amount of
business required TO produce the drama effac-
lively, the work shows with striking promi-
nence the importance of talented stage man
agership. Mr.. George Oshourne merits I'm.

Contract Awarded for Printing-superin-

AT a special meeting of the school board last

ing the price. All members OF the board were
present. with the exception OF A. 2. Burwell,
when President MacDougall called the meeting
to order Mr. Burwell eams later in the
evening.
Only two bids were on file for printing the re-
port, and these were as follows:
Lowman & Hantori-5.ooo school reports, SIS
per copy submitted. printed on s. s. 4 C. hook
paper. N-pound: thirtytwo inserts, bound in:

lpgrabam 4 Corveil-5.ooo reports on 7o-pound
Eastern book, 25x38, a. per specification, 8, 24a
Oh enaineled paper, l,49a
I. W. Proseh objected TO the bids on the
ground that they were both too high. where
upon Clarence Hanford, who represented Low
man 4 Hanford, replied that be had figured
very close and could not do the work ! cent
less. The present report would be almost twice
as large as the last one, which accounted for the
difference in the bids of the two reports.
Prosch thought that lots OF matter could be
left out, and he did no, care about getting out
repo-t to compete with larger cities. He cited
San Francisco as getting out small report, and
concluded BY proposing to settle the bids at
meeting next Saturday morning
President MscDougall said that bowman 4
Hanford's bid was the lowest, and considering
that time was an element in the consideration,
he favored making the award at once.
After considerable discussion about the typo
to be used in tebulated works and the length of
time 1t would take to get out the reports, Mr..
Prosch moved, that as il was the desire Of the
board to settle the matter, the contract be
awarded TO Lowmsn & Han:ord at 81, 126 The
motion was carried unanimously.
Mr.. Hanford estimates that the work will be
completed in six weeks. It Is the intention of
the board to send a number OF copies to the

THE DOCTRINE OF PRETFEITIoy.
The great argument against the report Of the COM
mittee. now presented Is that the doctrine ~
preterition, the passing by" OF certain number by
tho decree Of God has not been dropped altogether
In fact the new section on preteruon is considered
by some TO be stronger than the one originally pre-.
sented although this clause is added to prevent undu
criticism: Yet hath lie no pleasure in the death OF
the wicked nor is 1t His decree but the wckedness OF
their own hearts which rcstraineh and hindercth
them from accepting the free offer OF His grace made
In the Gospel" The section relating to the death OF
infants Is materially changed the new version reading
Infants dying In Infancy. and all ether persons who
are not guilty Of actual transgresson are included
In the election Of grace and are rceeneraed and saved
by Christ through the Spirit Who worheth when and
where and how lie picascth; so. also are all other
elect persons who not outwardly called by the
ministry Of the Word"

THE NEW CREED DESIRED.
The Greed desired by many is one which will in
some respects resemble the outlined by Dr. Henry
van DYKE OF NewIork City. When discussing this
matter in his Prcsbytery he said that those whom hc
represented wanted new statement Of essential doc
trne for foui reasons:
First Because it will be simpler. We want some
thing that plain man can understand something that
We put into the hands Of those that need instruc
ton without confusing their minds.
second. Because 1t will be more Scriptura. We
want something that has the tone and accent Of the
New Testament; something less like law paper and
more like creed. which be read in the churches
without chilling the spirit Of devotion something that
will upliit and warm the heart.
Third. Because Ii will be shorter. Eleven thou
sand words is 100 much. The substance Of our faith
be put into half that space If leave out the
non-essentia> We shall b. able to pnt strength
into our faith in the essentials. And this will bring
TO brethren and help clear the way for
uniication Of Chiistendom.
Fourth. Because ii will have "A better balance.
In practical theology the important thing is the en-
phasis. We want Creed that will lay massive
emphasis upon the love Of God for the world, the
atonement OF Christ for all mankind and the free,
sincere offer Of the Gospel for every creature
