Lengthy Discussion on the Question OF
Revivnls.


At the meeting of the Preachers Assoc
citation, in Fletcher Hall last Monday,
a discussion was held on the question OF
REVEALS. The Rev. Robert Watt ex-
pressed his opinion that the meetings
should be held only when the Holy

would be better if the pastor conducted
the meetings without the aid OF the
evangelist The discussion was lengthy
one and several others took part in 1t,
including the Revs. Alfred 4. Scott, DR..
Merritt Hulburd and Evangelists
Kraemer and Sanderson.
1t was reported by the curators that
Rev. Frederick Poole, a returned mis-
sionary would address the meeting on
February 4th. A change in the hour of
meeting was also agreed upon. For
one month beginning February 4th, the
association will meet on Monday at 1.3O
D. IN. instead of 1890 a. m.
The Ministerial Union meets next
Monday at the NJ. p. Church, Seventh
and Walnut streets. The preachers
meeting for that day will not be held.

Mt. Gilead, o., Union hegiStor.
The second entertainment of the Mt.
Giiead lecture course was given at Lever
ing Hall last Friday night, and it is put
ting it mildly to say that the high expecta-
tions Of the audience were more than full
filled. The speaker was the Hon. l.. |.
Handy of Wilmington, Dell, and his
subject was 1.-THE American Idea" Mr..
Handy won the immediate good will of
his audience by his pleasing manner. As
best speakers who have ever appeared be-
fore a Mt. Gilead audience, but his delivery
is entitled to small praise as compared
with the lecture itself. AS one enthusias-
tic admirer says, Mr.. Handy is wonder
fully successful missionary of patriot
ISM" and is doing incalculable good in
disseminating his common-sense ideal of
American citizenship. The lecture was
well spiced with rare bits of humor and
aptly illustrative anecdotes.

Utility of Water Meters,

The utility of water meters in preventing
waste has been demonstrated in Whining
ton, DEL, in clear manner. In the annual
report of Chief Engineer J. A. Bond the
following statement is made: 1.-THE expert
ence of this department, Think, confirms
the statements made by other water depart
ments that have used the meters longer
and more extensively, of their effectiveness
in reducing wilful waste and of the more
equitable adjustment of the charges to the
consumer. The decreased pumpage re-
ferred to in another part of this report is
largely due to their use.

Mayor Shortlidge is interesting. himself
in the enactment OF iishway law for this
State. One definite advantage would be
that thereby these passages for fish
in their annual upstream migrations
would be placed at dams on the Brandywlne
within the city limits. Every season it is
one of the sights well worth seeing to
watch herring. shad, and other fish making
useless effort to pass upstream past these
distractions If there were iishways in
the Brandywine the stream would again
be a tirst-rate angling place.
