lightful atmosphere prevails at this time;
Imagine one of the balmiest days OF
early summer in Kent and some, faint
notion of the Indian ummer can be OBJ
tanned. The close each day is generally
marked by brilliant aurora borealis, or
northern lights as though to celebrate
the glories of the day which has just
closed in. Foreigners have no fear of
getting a~cclimatized. There is nothing
to fear from malaria or sunstroke and
good healthy sleep is assured everyone.
With such a beautiful state Of things it
will be their own fault if the English

large sized audience, including
great many MaSons, attended Greene.
Memorial Church Sunday morning TO
hear the special sermon of Rev. w. f.
Hammer to the Masonic fraternity. The
members Of tho craft assembled at the
Masonic Temple at 1890 o'clock and
marched in body to the church. Mr..
tanners text was: The Gentiles
Shall Come to Thy Light and the King
TO the Brightness of Thy Dawning.
Isaiah, 60; 8. The minister closed
very able and eloquent discourse with
the following eloquent psrorstion.
- Masonry lifts before It's mem bers the
Hottest ideals and lays art and nature
under tribute for mblems to keep them
before their minds. Everything about
US proclaims great truth to Mason.
The lamb of tho fold and the lion of
the forest; the rock from the quarry
and the cluster Of the vine; the scythe
of the reaper and the sword of the war
rior; the cedars of Lebanon and the
pyrimads OF Egypt the flowers of the
field and the tools Of the artisan. All
are silent monitors and eloquent
the eyes of his fellows by day and is
reminded OF the all-seeing eve that ia
ever upon him; he looks up to the stars
by night and is reminded of the light
that rolled in splender from the East
upon world in darkness. What her-
mony OF voices singing forevee with his
sons the song of redeeming love. How
can Mason forget his God or tail to
bless his fellow?
In the evening Mr.. Hammer preached
special sermon to the Red Men, which,
considering the very Indictment weather,
was we'll attended. The evening ser.
mon which WAS based on the following
passage OF scripture: "God is spirit,
and they that worship him must worship
him in spirit and in TRUTH" John 4;69,
was very forcible exhortation for true
worship.

THE COMING ELECTION.

Ten members of the City Council are
to be chosen at the election on Thurs
day, May 90, to fill the places of those
whose terms of Office expire this year.
As whole the present City CouncI~is
an exceptionally able one, and the
interests Of the city would no doubt be
safe II all OF the retiring members were
re elected. AS, however, it is probable
that majority of them do not desire
reelection, and as some other able and
patriotic gentlemen may become candis
dates for some of the positions to be
vacated, the question as to how the
most deserving and popular are to be
selected, Is one of much interest and
Importance to the people of this city.
The city Democratic executive commit
tee when 1t meets tomorrow night will
no doubt take the matter OF selecting
candidates for Council under considera-
ton, and while there is strong dispo-
sition here TO regard the Office az non
political one, the difficulties and dam
gers in the way Of electing non partisan
candidates are easy to discover.
In free for all race when once en-
tered upon, there Is no knowing ,wlsuS
combinations may be attempted, and
in q nomination by ward meetings, as
it very often happens that men of
excellent business capacity are but
poor politicians, there is no guarantee
that desirable candidates will be OBJ.
tanned in contest of that kind. Roa-
noke Ia par excellence business city,
and 1t la very important that the men
elected should be thoroughly identified
with the best interests Of the commune
ity. In multiplicity ofcandidates the
wishes of the people might be ignored
and the welfare of the city suffer, and
in ward meeting the man of business
might be laid on the shelf by the sue
cessful wire puller. So, all things con-
sidered, 1t would seem safest and best
for the Democratic party to order pri.
maries in the several wards in order
that free and full expression of
the wishes of the majority OF the
voters may be arrived at. There may he
some expense attending this. but a
good city government can only be- OBJ
tanned by the selection of good men as
candidates, and as the latter are the
Charles, Of course they ought to
foot the bills.
