MR.. LRAvITT's LECTURE.

Rev. f. B. Leavitt gave at the Unita-
rian church Sunday evening the first of his
series of lectures on religious themes.
His subject was "The Christianity of
Christ, and the opportunity of the Unita-
Iian church." What the men and women
of today seek for, the speaker said, is some
real light on the great subject of religion.
The old answer of the churches in creed
and catechism does not satisfy men who
are wanting to be quite sure, first of all,
that there is any God or any life to come.
The great realities of life are what concern
them, and not any set of opinions about
them. The true way out of all these per-
pleXities and doubts is the plain, simple
way of going back to Christ himself to see
what he said, how he answered the peO-
pies questions, what he urged them to be-
lieve and do. Jesus had nothing to say
about the doctrines of theology as we
know them today, he had great deal to
say about world full of Gods love and
care, about the kingdom of God at hand,
not behind, about repentance and personal
righteousness-steT warnings to harden
ed sinners, but over all the infinite fatherly
love.
1t is wonderful-such bright light of
religion, such strong assurance of its
reality, but with no attempt at minute
definition or mapping out of divine and
eternal things. This is Christianity as
Christ preached it. The difficulty is that
the churches have explained and defined
too much, putting these things in the fore
ground, while simple faith and trust have
been treated as if they were of minor
worth. The way of Jesus was to have faith
in God-never mind trying to define his

Atlanta, Georgia, has had a remarkable
growth since the war. A recent house-to-

the city now has population of los, 644.
In 1870 it had p, 7S9, and ten years ago,
56,S57. The present Atlanta has five times
the population it had 25 years ago.
The meaning of the ratio of 10 to one,
as applied to gold and silver, is that IS
grains of silver are taken as equivalent to
one grain of gold. This is the theory of
the existing coinage, but as a matter of
fact, it takes about twice that number of
grains of silver to equal the value of a grain
of gold. The effect of very great output
of silver would be TO still further shrink
its value as compared with gold.
An important new departure in electrical

ract furnishing it from the western end.
The Chesapeake and Ohio canal is to be
operated by electricity as soon as the trolley
plant can be put on.

happiness, endowing us with rectitude
and virtue and keeping alive within us

Der the poor and needy, and by deeds
