Christ Episcopal Church.

Christ Church was crowded last Sun.
day evening when Rev. +. w. Hunt
preached on "The Woman at the Well.''
These sermons are intended to be most
simple and are delivered in an earn
est and convincing manner. The follow
ing story told by the rector illustrates
one of the telling parts of the sermon:
He said that in the city of Berlin two
ladies met, and one asked the other
where she could obtain the beautiful en-
broidery she had noticed on the child's
dress. She said she did it herself. The
other replied that owing to her position
in society she did not risk doing such
things. SWELL" said the lady, ct am
busy too. My father, the Emperor, often
comes to see me, and l am much occu-
pied with calls of state, but I always
make it point to do such things for my
myself"
Rev. Hunt said, in applying it, that we
did not know what the woman said when
she got home, but he ventured to say it
was not her prayers. The remaining SER
mons are

Land Commissioner William A. French
was one Of Gov.-elect Pingree's callers
yesterday and proposed that the state lands,
amounting to hundreds of thousands of
acres of good farming land, subject to home
stealing, be utilized to aid the poor under
the new administration of the state. With
the aid of land-looker, paid by the state,
he thinks that 1t would be policy to locate
the poor upon homesteads. They would
have to pay only so cents an acre to be paid
in one fifth installment, or 10 cents per
year, and he believes that the poor could be
well taken care of by this means. He
thinks such move would be matter of
economy to the state and particularly to the
large cities. which pay many thousands of
dollars out every year to support the poor,
who would In this way be made self-sup-
porting. The governor-elect promised to
think the matter over.-Detroit Tribune.
