BAPTIST CHURCH.
Rev. A. @. Blaokman Discourses on the
Idealisa Of Christianity.

"Idelism In Religion" A man witfz
out an ideal is like a ship without a rud-
der. A religion without idealism would
be without an inspiring motive.
Jesus Christ was an idealist. He at
tanned to his ideal. No man rises
higher than his ideal. The Christian
idealist lie one OF the highest type.
i take the ideal OF Christ as my text.
Mat. 5;4s. BE ye therefore perfect,
even as your father IN heaven is perfect."
On returning TO your old school room,
and standing among the graduates, you
have been stirred deeply, as You re-
member how once you stood there with
high ideals, and how far you have come
from them, and you have wondered IL
idealism were only a phantom, seen in the
colored mists of life's morning to be dis
PEELED by the glory OF llfe's MONDAY sun;
such shams do yawn between yourideal.
This materialistic age seems calculated
to destroy ideals and quench enthusi-
asms Never the less you must be IN
idealist to succeed nobly. Idealism does
not imply dawdling. | believe in the
gospel of work; but you must have a
pattern to work to. The text suggests a
good one.
"Who aimeth at a star shoots higher
than he who means a tree"
1he idealism of Christianity is per.
lection. Every Christian is inspired by
this call to reach this ideal, just so far as
he answers TO it is his lie uplifted, loyal
to and in harmony with his creator
Nothing but conformity to Gods teach.
ings will satisfy him. Nor will this sat,
isfy; he must needs help others on to-
wards the same perfection. To dose viii
require self denial. The lesson Of
Christ's life ls one of selfdenial. His APP
petites, his ambition and his vanity. Dc
you say He had none of these basel
qualities? Then he was not a man. Tt
this end the ldealism of Christianity also
involve perfection iE humility, perfec,
ton in faith, perfection in obedience and
perfection in love. When these
are attained or in the degree
to which these are attained is
there approach to the pattern set
b fore us in the text.

CITY WATER.
The Ordinance Governing the New Water
Works Will be Adopted Tomorrow
Evening Some Of Its Provisions.

There will be an adjourned meeting OF
the city council TO morrow evening for
the purpose OF placing the water works
ordinance on its final pas age. The ex-
pense OF getting water onto private
premises, especially for lawn purposes,
has been q question often asked US by
parties desiring to use it for that pur-
pose. From Alderman Waskey We learn
that il will cost the TO carry
the pi ing, provided with other necessary
facilities, to the curb line, $3.50 for al
80-foot street and $3.50 for q 100.foot
street. It is thought that from this
point water could be distributed about
The premises for sprinkling purposes
with a hose; but should the property
owner prefer piping in onto his grounds,
it would probably cost about an equal
amount to pipe in fifty feet, making the
total cost about $50. The section of the
ordinance governing yard fountains
reads as follows: "Yard fountains shall
not be used more than six hours per day,
and only between April 1st and Novem-
Der 1st, except by special permission and
upon additional charges. The service
pipe OF fountains out OF doors, n ust be
provided with stop cocks under the
control OF the council. The right is re-
served 10 suspend the use of fountains
and hose for sprinkling streets, yards
and gardens, whenever, in the opinion Of
the council, the public exigency may re-
quire IT," Tie tariff for this purpose is
marked especial" ia the ordinance.
Other tariff, per annum for use of water
after piping 10 done, is as follows:
Dwelling houses, six rooms, 50, each adj
ditional room rs cents; stores, S. to SO;
bakeries, $40 to Sl5; butcher shops, $40
to SIS; offices, b. restaurants, $40 to $40,
etc. The ordinance is very lengthy,
providing for the complete government
of the water system, specifying pipes,
couplings, ETC., penalties for violating
rules and many other things necessary
for the management OF the system. The
indications are that a large number OF
citizens will adopt the use of the water,
and it is the purpose of the council to Of
fer as liberal inducements as will be
consistent with the success Of the
system.
