Something For You to Think About.
Associate Reform presbyterian

The knowledge OF our own weakness and
sins ought to make US charitable in our con
demnation of others. They may be guilty of
debasing sins, but under the same tenn ptaton
we might have fallen as they did. The differ
ence between Us may be due not to any greater
moral strength than we possess but 10 the fact
that we were not exposed to their temptations.
IN condemning them we should consider our
selves lest we also be tempted.

ground that the duties of the prothon-
otary were Of a quasi-judicial nature
and the judges ought to be allowed to
select the man. In any event the pro-
thonotary should be a man learned in

The opposition to the amendment
was general. President Biggs led on,
cCntending that the people could be
trusted to elect ploper men. and de-
nylng that large legal attainments
were necessary for the office.
Tho amendment was lost by a vote
Of ayes to a nays. The section pro-
