council this morning the committee on
canOn's made a partial report, on mat
tiers which will not be acted on until the

great Importance. A proposition for an
assessment of 81 per year on each COM
municant for the diocesan fund brought
lively discussion and considerable OPP
position, one reverend gentleman calling
it a tax on Christianity. The canon COM
mittee has the question of allowing wOm-
en- to vote on church matters before it,
but it is believed it will make no report
on this matter and that privilege will
continue to be denied

AUSTIN CORBLN.

The tragic death of Austin Corbin
concentrates public attention upon
the record of worthy life, and even
the most casual study of his career
reveals characteristics emitting him
to permanent remembrance. He was
prominently man of industry, sa-
gacity and integrity and though his
interests were vast and various and
enumeration the simple ruggedness
of character and thought and the
sterling directness of method and ac-
ton which he took with him to the
great world of finance as almost his
only inheritance from God fearing
and reverent parentage remained as
his dominant traits throughout all the
phases of his busy career. Simplicity
marked his thought and bearing in
public and private and his life was
that of modest Christian gentleman
who found in the field, on the hills,
and by the seashore the sweetest sol
ace of existence surrounded by
charming family circle.
Austin Corbin loved his native state
and New Hampshire mourns for him.
His illustriOus example will long illu-
mine the pages of our history and Will
inspire and allure many another New
Hampshire boy to great efforts.
Mr.. Corbin lost his life by carriage
accident at Newport, NH, q few days
