In some families Sunday is
given an added interest by reserving certain
best toys for that day alone. Let there be
singing of children's songs or painting of
scriptural picture cards or the telling of
Bible stories, which have a peculiar charm
for all children - they almost universally
ind them as entertaining as other kinds
especially if told by the help of pictorial
Bible.
All these things tend to make religion
bright and attractive and to keep young
hearts appreciative of the Saviors love.
Peaceful Sundays like this are the great
impetus to happy life in future years. A
Sunday OF negations. on the other hand.
VIII tend to leave an unpleasant remem-
brance of the home and a still more I'M
pleasant remembrance of everything con-
nected with the word religion"
Lastly, the wise right-minded parent will
not permit Sunday to degenerate into a day
OF recreation only. The prime purpose OF
this day. we saw, is to develop the
spiritual and humanitarian side of our
natures. which should no more be dwarfed
than the physical or mental side. Daily toll
ceases chiefly to afford time for this i'm
poTtant object. 1t is an undisputed fact
that nations prosperity Is largely de-
pendent upon the maintenance OF its re-
lgious Institutions and children brought
up with a respect for these institutions will
be our best citizens. Public worship. then
should not be neglected. every child ought
70 be found each Sunday with its father
and mother. so far as home duties permit
IN the house of God. This should be m,

in the old church and that God would
bless this people abundantly.
Rev Washington Gardner, Secretary
of State, was the speaker Of the evening.
His text, the wise builder Mathew, 7:24-
20 was highly appropriate for the occa-
sion. His theme was easily deduced
"Christ the architect; Man the builder (;
Character the building
Architecture, said the speaker, ''is
one Of the oldest and most respected
sciences. Nor has it lost its prestige
during the lapse Of years. Rather it has
grown steadily in favor until today an
architect is a necessity. Not even the
smallest lighthouse is built by our gov
ernment without the plans are first
carefully drawn, the specifications care
fully prepared by skilled government
architect Likewise charlct is build
ing; man in building character is a
builder And if we would have that
building correct, and fitted for the best
of service during lie, we must have
definite, true and tried plan we must
have prospective before US. Christ is
for young people the only true example.
His teachings are the plans and specifi-
cations that never fail; they are in har-
mony with natural religion and they are
in harmony with conscience. What.
ever a man may think of the law of God
he will say to his boy, that book teaches
true morals, follow it, True character
is the greatest thing man can possess.
All should, all must have it, or fail at
last
At the close of the address the regular
dedication services were conducted by
Presiding Elder Pufier assisted by other
brethern present.

that day to the worship of God and the

DEDICATION.
ALMA'S NEW M. E CHI URCH.
Large Sum Raised to Clear the
Debt,
THE BELOVED PASTOR.

1t gives us great pleasure to present
TO our readers this week cut of the new
NJ. +. church The edifice was begun
November 10th, 1895, when the corner
stone was laid by ex.Gov. John 7. Rich
and Washington Gardner. 1t will cost
when complete about IS, 900 all of which
has been raised \. Munger of Bay City
was the architect and S. +. Anderson
did the contract work. The building
will be fitted with all modern improve
ments, including electric lights, opera
chair seats, furnace and "A pipe organ.
The rooms are nicely arranged, the
Epworth League room opening by sliC-
ing doors into the audience room making
a mammoth auditorium seating nearly
one thousand people. The memorial
window $, a leading feature III the new
structure, were the Sits of the frater-
mites. societies and friends of the place.
Alma citizens are proud of the building,
the largest and best equipped of its kind
in the village NJ. L Burkhead the aged
ianitor who has so faithfully se~vCl the
old church for the past nine years has
been rendered the same position IN the
new church and began his duties last
Sunday. He is first-class man for the
work.

To the subject of the above sketch,
probably more than to any other man, is
due the credit of completing and so
grandly dedicating the new VI. +. church
Through darkest hours of disappoint-
ment, when others were ready to despair
he has kept smiling face and his faith
that the church would be completed has
never wavered.
Rev. James Widdiss McAllister was
born in Bethany, Ontario, Canada,
March 18th, 1851. His father was far
mer so the young man remained at home
assisting in the farm duties until he
reached the age of eighteen. His winters
and spare moments had been zealously
spent in the pursuit of an education so
he easily secured a certificate and taught
in district school for eighteen months
The two years following this were spent
in missionary work along the north
channel of the Thessalon River. 1t was
while here engagedin this difficult work
much of the travel having to be made
by horseback, up rough hills through
tracklcss forests and across bridgcless
streams that Rev McAllister won his
perseverance and push which have al.
ways characterized his labors. Theyear

felt want in every human breast which
only the simple gospel of Christ can
sooth. Palsied be the tongue that tries
in this building to preach else than this.
The valley of sin is full of tears and
pains. This life is but one round of
disappointments and sorrows unless we
have Christ as our all in all. But for
two things this life would be scarcely
worth the living. First, the comfort
of christian love Second, the hope of
Heaven l wonder if we realize that all
we are under God we owe to this book.
My friends, it isn't this soil, this climate
that have made our country what it is,
bat her institutions.
Daniel Webster once said, The Bible
is the corner stone of this republic' If
so no man can be a true and loyal citizen
of the United States and not believe in
God.
We hail with pleasure the erection of
now church as symbolic of Satan S
downfall. God grant that the time
shall surely come when Christ shall
reign alone. What Christ wants is fol.
lowers who are willing to work for him
with untiring zeal No man ever did
enough to put the church in debt to him.

You can not possibly do to much work
for your master, you must come off con-
queror in the battle for in Heaven it is

The doctor paid beautiful tribute to
the Boys in Blue" saying he would if it
was possible print on the blue Permanent
of the heaven, in glowing letters of
light, the name of every man who
differed, bled and died for his country's
good. The address was closed with n
strong and expressive appeal for those
present to help in raising the debt which
hung over the beautiful building. Fully
five thousand dollars were raised ON two
year subs ,ription promises, during the
day.
The morning session was closed by the
large audience joining in singing the
grand old doxology, Praise God from
whom all blessings flow."
AFTERNOON SERVICE.
Owing TO the excessive heat the crowd
was somewhat smaller at the afternoon
service than in the morning. The ad-
dress was delivered by Rev. Jos. f. Berry,
ID. ID. of Chicago, editor of the Epworth
Herald. His text was Mathew 11:28,
Come unto me, all ye that labor and
are heavy laden, and | will give you
rest" The theme under consideration
was, "Christ the panicea for the world 5
unrest" In a scholarly manner the
doctor pointed to Christ the great physi
cian,a cure for trouble and distress. He
divided his theme into the three parts;
lst, Christ cures intellectual unrest; 2d,
cures social and industrial unrest; Bird,
cures heart unrest. In spite of the op-
pressive heat DIR. Berry held the closest
attention of his hearers and all went
away highly pleased.
At the close of this address Dr. Ives
spoke a few words and raised some
money towards the finishing of the base
ment. An especial feature of all the
services was the excellent music fur
nished by the choir. The regular mem
bers were strengthened by the addition
of Mrs. L. 5 Pettyjohn, alto and A. w.
Beckner, tenor The selection at vesper
service was especially beautiful.
EVENING SERVICE.
Partly because the other churches
were dismissed and partly from the pop.
ularity of the speaker the largest crowd
of the day assembled for the evening
service. Long before the time to begin
had arrived the church was packed full
and many were unable to gain admit
tance.
Rev. John X. Star, the pastor under
whose Administrations the old church
was built, led in prayer, beseeching that
Che glory of the latter house might even
surpass that of the former that many
more precious souls might be saved than

labors with pride and thanksgiving. At
the close of that year, feeling the need of
better preparation, he spent the next two
years in Grimsly High School His
course in theology and logic were pur-
sued at Victoria University. AT the
close of this study he came to Michigan

ored faithfully in the state. He was

received on probation, making IA total
membership of two hundred and thirty

/ joins with the large body Of MethOdists
in urging the conference to return Rev.
j. W. McAl lister to Alma for another
year that he may enjoy the result Of his
untiring labors.
Alma Methodists will ever remember
with feelings of mingled pride and JOY
the dedication of their new church build
ing which took place last Sunday. EX-
cept for the oppressive heat the day
was an ideal one, no storm or threaten
ing clouds appearing TO mar the day OF
worship and pleasure. Rev. VIM. Put1er

! had charge Of all the services and con-
Quoted them in an especially easy and

dedication of the temple was read as the
scripture lesson by Rev JOS f. Berry OF

KRIGBAUM CONVICTED.
Adjudged Guilty of Not Accounting
for Moneys Collected.

The fact was established in the 'Po-
lice Court yesterday that w. T. Krig-
baum is very successful collector of
bad bills. 1t was also established as a
fact that moneys collected by him had
great difficulty in reaching the pockets
of the owners. In other words, Krig-
baum was good at gathering in money
for others, but a very poor hand at
paying it over.
There were complaints against him
for misdemeanor embeZZlement filed by
Dr. G.. C. Simmons, Schad Bros. and
s. Bell. IT was shown that he had col
lected various sums for these parties,
but they had not been able to induce
him to give up any of the money. He
had various excuses to offer for not
paying over the money.
The complaint in the Bell case was
found to be informal, and that charge
was dismissed, but he was found guilty
on the others, and Justice Davis viii
announce the judgments on Monday.
Krigbaum conducted his own defense,
while City Attorney Brown handled the

THE TAX LEVY.
1t is to be Determined by the State
Board of Equalization.

There is as yet no fixed tax levy for
the two fiscal years commencing July l.,
1897, nor will there will be until the
State Board of Equalization shall have
determined the taxable valuation of all
the property in the State.
This would tend to show that all the
talk that has been expended concerning
the tax levy supposed to have been
liked by the late Legislature was en-
ergy wasted. In speaking of the mat
| ter yesterday, Controller Colgan said:
THE Legislature did nothing but es-
innate the amount of funds that would
be needed to conduct the BUSINESS of
| the State and recommended that the
Board of Equalization levy a sufficient
| tax rate to make up the desired
amount. This rate would not and could
not be fixed until the board had deter
mined the valuation of taxable prop
erty in the State
In regard to the 41.15 rate alleged to
have been fixed by the Legislature
! Controller Colgan said that body had
merely taken the valuation of property
for the fiscal year commencing July
1, 1896, and fixed the rate on those
figures, while an increased property
valuation would decrease-or de-
creased valuation increase-the rate
In 1896 the assessed valua ton OF
property in the State amounted to 81,
266.o93,065, and the levy necessary tC
raise funds for conducting the business
of the State was 42.9 cents on each
800. The estimate for the two years
commencing July 1, 1897, was on the
assessed valuation of 1896, the rate be
| ing 41% cents
From the Controllers statement, this
would seem to be a lowering of the ia,
rate, but there will remain in the treas
ury July l, 1897 (estimated), 81 1861 900
which viii go into the general fund il
| conjunction with the amount to be
raised
