this be drew some pretty lessons, showing
that girdle that had been buried in the
ground for some time and then unearthed
was "good for nothing" The next Illus
tration showed the fate of Sodom and Go
morrah, which be proved would be the
fate of all the good for nothings" of this
world. This was followed by another
painting, showing What little cripple
boy, who was thought to be good for
nothing" did to save his country from
Napoleon's invading army. He concluded
bis sermon by saying that "God has a
plan for every man." and that If Chris
tians would make an effort to como out OF
the ranks of 1.-THE Good for Nothings'
and do their duty, what great work
could be accomplished for the blessed
Saviour A large congregation was pres
ent, aud the sermon will doubtless be as
seed sown in good ground. Next Friday
afternoon. at o'clock, Mr.. Watson will
have a service especially for children, and
q cordial invitation is extended to all of
the children of the city to attend.
Last week tha City Council received q
circular letter from the State Board of
Control, in which was quoted Section 10
of the new Dispensary Law, which pro"
vides that one half OF the profits Of the
County Dispensary shall be paid to the
municipal corporation in which the Dis
pensary may be situated, provided THAT
il the authorities of any town or city
which, in the judgment of the State Board
Of Control, do not enforce this law, the
State Board may withhold the part going
to the said town or city and use it to pay
State Constables." Then followed the
statement that "there are ample provis.
ions in the said Act giving policemen and
marshalls the necessary power, without
regard to any restrictions which may be
in your charter. We shall be glad to have
your cooperation and assistance, and will
expect an answer indicative of your pur-
pose not later than the 18th of January"
The City Council adopted an ordinance
against the selling of liquor by any one
other than the County Dispenser and sent
copy of the same to the State Board of
Control, saying that the ordinance would
be enforced as any ordinance is, and say
ing further that there had been no com.
plant, to their knowledge, against the
present administration for failure to
enforce ordinances.
