MONEY AND THE CHURCH.
Rev. Alexander Kent Speaks of Its
Influence UpOn Minister'S

Rev. Alexander Kent Speaks of Its
Influence Upon Ministers.
The effect of money upon orthodox
churches was an interesting point in the
sermon of Rev. Alexander Kent at the Peo-
ple'sChurch yesterday morning.
There is an indisposition on the part Of
liberalchurch members to urge their doctrine
on others, because they feel that they have
the truth and it will triumph, and because
ultra views bring some disfavor. Neverthe-
less they ought kindly to let their opinions
be known and to meet strangers with
such cordiality as to induce them to return.
Among themselves the members ought to
maintain pleasant relations, not only
in fact but in manner.
But the Peoples Church, he said, was de-
voted to the spread of the two cardinal
principles of Christ's philosophy-the
Fatherhood of God and the Brotherhood
of Man. 1t cannot seek the favor of the
opulent and, as orthodox churches too hften
do, seek financial success first and the king
dom of God afterward

AVOID THE DANGER.s

Suggestion That the Differences Be-
 tween Gaffney & Co He Submitted
 to an Arbitration Committee.
 The city is threatened with lawsuit. That will probably be the next move of Messrs Gaffney & Go, whose bill for ex- tra work on the new dam has been dis allowed by the committee on additional water supply. \ little concession on the part of the contractors and a slight loosen ing of the screws by the committee may set things right, and as the easiest way is always the best the DEMOCRAT would sug- cest that another effort be made to get to- gether.
 It is said that the members of the com- mittee, as well as the contractors, believed that the granite could be obtained near the dam. The quarry upon which all based their hopes proved worthless, in vol4fng extra expense. Perhaps under the terms of the contract Messrs Gaffney .s Go can be held to their original figures. And may be not There is a question of equity involved and it is among the pSs- abilities that the courts would decide that under the peculiar conditions the contract was nil, Whether or not it would cost considerable to defend the case if the con- tractors saw fit to fight to a finish.
 The city ought to be willing to pay what the work is worth. figured down to hard pan, and on the other hand the con- tractors ought to be anxious to forfeit a large share of their expected profts-to pay for their experience. as 1t were. Why not then submit the matter to a board of arbitration composed of men of experience who have no personal interest in the mat fer. This would be hard on the lawyers, of course, but 10 the DEMOCRAT it looks like the wisest way out of the dilemma.
