SEVENTH DAY ADVENTIsTs.

Elder A. T. Jones, at the conference of
the Seventh Day Adventists last night,
talked on "Penance." He contends that by
doing penance people acknowledge that their
repentance is incomplete. SIT is" he said,
''the doing of good Things SO that God will
be good to US, and by SO doing we make our
selves better than God" He claims that
true repentance is repentance by faith alone,
and not faith and works, as the Catholics
preach.
This morning Elder Loughborough talked
on tithes and offerings. He said that every
thing, lands, animals, our breath, our
strength, all is Gods, and that whenwe give
to him we are only rendering to him what is
already his. He said that it is like mans
hiring land and raising crops. He pays
rent for the land, and SO should we pay rent
to God. He said that we should lay by one
tenth of all we have for the Lord. This
evening Elder Hibbard will talk.

BRAVE LITTLE JAMES M0oY.

Collected Money for the Relief OF
Mrs. Green of GreenviIle.
The friends of Mrs Michael Green, Of No.
TAI Ocean avenue, Greenville, who lost her
husband child a few days ago by death, and
who is lying on bed of sickness, and with
out the wherewithal to provide food for her
children, have come to her assistance, and
by means of a subscription list have done
much to alleviate the suffering of her fam
lily. The story of her misfortune, which
was published in THE JERSEY CITY NEWS
the day after the double funeral has borne
much fruit, the subscription list above al
luded to being part of it. Among those
whose sympathies were aroused by the story
was thirteen year old James Mccoy, of No
119 Ege avenue, who this morning sent the
following letter to THE JERSEY CITY NEWS,
and which explains itself
JERSEY CITY, n J., March 6, 1894.
ITO the Editor of The Jersey City Nes0s:-
"DEAR SIR:-After reading in your valu-
able paper of February 27, of the sad and
distressing account of the unfortunate Green
family, volunteered nay services in their
behalf and have collected the following
amounts which place in your hands for
their benefit. This is a small amount
towards their relief as their wants are many
and their suffering great.
81 hope some other kind hearted boys will
make an effort in their behalf.
''Cash, 25 cents; NJ. McC, SO cents; F. NJ,
so cents; NJ, 25 cents, F., 25 cents; A Friend,
SO cents; E. N, 25 cents; Cash, 25 cents;
Cash, SO cents; Cash, 25 cents; Cash, S1.00;
E. F. Cash, 25 cents; Mr.. j. w. Nc, so cents;
Mrs. D., 25 cents. Total, $5.25.
Yours respectfully,

CANADIAN MAIL SERVICE.

OTTAWA, Ont, March 6, 1S94-The con-
tract entered into by the Dominion Govern
ment, subject to sanction of Parliament,
with James Huddart for the conveyance of
mails, etc, by swift steamship service be-
tween England and Canada covers period
of ten years with the option of renewal.
Four fi1st-class steamers running twenty
knots an hour, are to be placed on the route,
and the annual subsidy is to be $750,000. The
Australian steamship service will also be in
creased, and it is proposed to organize a
thorough service from England to Australia
via Canada by a combination Of the two
steamship services and the Canadian Pacific
Railway 1t is expected the British Govern
ment and the Australian colonies will subsi-
die the new line, as the new imperial route
will be the swiftest to Australia and New
Zealand, and the mails will be carried abso-
lutely through British territory.

PRESIDENT CLARK WON'T RESIGN
He Will Remain at the Head of the
NY. Now Haven & Hartford R.R.

N. K.s New Haven N E1aftfOrO H.hs
NEW HAVEN, Conn, March 6, 1894.-An
entirely unauthenticated rumor was current
here last evening to the effect that Presi-
dent Clark of the New York, New Haven
and Hartford road would retire from office
at the next meeting of the directors. The
report was denied by officers of the road,
and it is universally discredited. President
Clark himself is out of town and could not
be confronted with the statement. The
causes assigned for President Clark's pros
pective action are trouble with refractory
board of directors
One of the most prominent directors of
the Consolidated road talked freely regard
ing the rumor. He said he would not allow
his name to be used for publication, for by
so doing he would show that he thought it
worth while to even deny the story, as he
put it, of some malicious person who is con-
tinually starting stories intended to create
trouble in the New Haven road. Continu-
ing, the gentleman said:-
'sThis story is the most absurd that could
be invented l will tell you why, l know
President Clark better than most men do,
and know just how he regards his connec-
ton with the road His salary is nothing to
him; he does not need it. He can retire to-
morrow and get away from the whole thing
but he has some aim in life, although some
people seem to think otherwise Everyone
knows that the whole policy of the road is
his policy and that without him the road
would be without leader"
