Queries From Taxpayer.
Lawrence, Mich, Jan. 3, 1898.

Lawrence, Mich, Jan. d, 1878.
Ed. NoRTHERNER:
DEAR SIR:-As taxes are again due
and we think they are high-much
higher than some expected they would
be on account of the great reduction In
equalization last fall, when South
Haven was raised such large amount,
Supervisor Branch is reported as say
ing that Lawrence township gets no
benefit from the reduction this year;
that the state and county taxes were
apportioned this year from the high
equalization of 1896, and that we get no
benefit of the reduction of 1897 until the
taxes of 1898. Please explain.
TAX PAYER.
p. S.-Has the town board right to
charge two dollars per day when trans.
acting regular town business, which
understand they do. r..
Concerning the taxes OF Lawrence
township, we would say that the taxes
of 1897 were apportioned by the board
of supervisors among the several town
ships October 10, 1897, in accordance
with the neaO equalization, which was
adopted October IA, aud Lawrence
township, as well as every other town
ship, received its benefit of reduction
in the taxes of 1897. AS the reduction
in equalization in Lawrence was but
SAC, 900, from former equalization of
$500, 900, it will readily be seen that the
reduction would save practically moth
ing to any individual taxpayer of Law
renee township. Indeed, no township
received a sufficient amount of the
addition to South Haven's equalization
to make any appreciable difference in
taxes Only two towns-Paw Paw and
Hartford-received greater reduction
than did Lawrence, and in each OF them
the reduction was about the same pro-
portion of the former equalization as in
Lawrence 1t will be difficult for the
supervisors to make the taxpayers
think they are saving any great amount
of taxes because of the small reduction
in equalization.
AS To the question asked by taxpayer
in his postscript, we will refer him TO
section ia, Howell's Statutes, where
the fees of the township board are fixed
as follows: The officers composing the
township board, board of registration,
board of health, inspectors of election,
clerks of the poll, commissioners of
highways and school inspectors, one
dollar aud fifty cents per day and at the
same rates for parts of days. ED.

convinced of the fact that the defence
of the system is an untenable position.
IL will be seen that no one but MIR.
Bates has dared TO defend 1t and his
logic Is as full of holes as SKINNER is.
In his last letter, he says he believes he
can grow corn and so he plants the
seed. / believe he can grow corn much
more satisfactorily than he can defend
denominationalism. l also believe l
can grow corn, but | do not plant the
seed Hence, MIR. Bates has corn
crop and do not. In other words, he
complies with certain conditions, obeys
certain natural laws, and / neglect SO
to do. Hence he has harvest while L
have none. Ii seems to me the same Is
true religiously, and i would like to
see the churches get together so that
sinner will get the same and correct
conditions given him always, in any
church If belief in Christ is the only
necessity for salvation, then indeed will
| and nearly every other sinner In this
town be saved. | doubt if there are
hundred individuals in the township
who do not believe Yet / do not pre-
tend TO be saved by my belief any more
than pretend to raise corn by my be-
lief
One difficulty with Mr.. Bates is that
he does not draw the line between
union of denominations and union OF
congregations. While congregational
union, To an extent at least, is des-
sirable end to be striven for in this vii
lage, there is nothing in denomina'
tional union rendering anything OF the
kind imperative. For instance in any
city can be found several Presbyterian
churches. Would Mr.. Bates have
them each different denomination,
because their capacity is demandedY
Not all the denominations can possibly
be right, because they preach and
practice doctrines that are exactly op'
posed To each other, which is very con-
fusing TO a sinner like me.
AS to the consistency and consecra-
ton of christians, which is the line on
which | wrote my first communication
and started all this discussion, the
services of the week of prayer were as
notable as the Thanksgiving service.
Most of the services were attended by
a congregation that would have been
nothing remarkable for denomi-
national prayer meeting, and the peo-
pie most of them acted as though
prayer from their own lips was some
thing to be feared and avoided The
best thing beard in the services | at
tended was by Rev. Harvey in his meet
ing, when he upbraided the people for
their sectarianism-just what |, sim
ner, have been doing-and said in sub
stance that the multiplicity of denomi-
nations is the weakness of Christendom
and that union of effort would speed
lily evaugelize the world. All honor To
Mr. Harvey! He is away in advance
of his denomination, and his boldness
in speaking right out in meeting" con-
cerning the evils of so many and varied
brands of christianity, should bear
fruit in this town, bringing some of
the churches To their senses, and con-
vincing them that the triumph of Christ
is of far more Importance than the
triumph of their own individual theo.
logical dogmas,
/ shall not again write concerning
this matter and, so far as | am factor
in it, this discussion is now at an end.

reading the articles from the sinners
and anxious inquirer, published in the
Northerner; also the answer 10 the
questions, What must | do to be
Saved?" and (Which one of the churches

In answering the first question, both
overlook the most important step in
seeking salvation. They say, believe
on the Lord Jesus Christ and thou shalt
be saved" but is that all? No. Belief
alone will not save man although it
is very essential.

ing, that you must repent.
Read Mark l:l5, 2:l7 and 6:l2.
Ia Ats 2:3S, what was the answer
given by the apostle Peter in answer to
the conscience stricken multitude who
cried out, "Men and brethren, what
shall we do?" They saw the need to do
something, and whenever the heart of
sinful man is awakened TO the con-
sciousness of guilt, the heart cries out,
"What shall i do?" Someone must give
an authoritative reply. Peter said, "Re-
pent, and be baptized every one of you
in the name OF Jesus Christ for the re-
mission of sIns"-Acts 2:38. 1t is the
first word that should ring from every
pulpit and every christians lips. 1t is
the beginning of the gospel of Jesus
Christ, the son of God. John did bap-
tie in the wilderness, and preach the
baptism of repentance for the remission
of sins.-Mark IL and 4. 1t is there

take issue with the churches which
rs a whole cry "believe." Better COM
mand men to repentl Let him that
stole steal no more, let him that lied
lie no more, let him that is filthy be
filthy no more. If there is anything
wherein we have sinned against father
or mother husband or wife, or anyone,
let us ask God to give us grace to go
humbly to that person and say, For
give me, / have sinned." Repentance
is the door of salvation in Christ.
i heard a pastor of one Of the Paw
Paw churches say in sermon few
weeks ago, that all you had to do TO be
saved was to believe. 1t may be all
that is required to join his church, but
Jesus says, "Unless you repent ye
shall all likewise perish. Luke 1873.
In answer to the question, which one
of the churches TO join, | will say: If
you can find one that breaches the full
apostolic doctrine, that is the one to
join. BIBLE STUDENT.

The Notifications of Sevastapol, which
caused the allies so much trouble during
the six months defense of the fortress
by the Russians were at first very
weak, and military experts say the town
might have been taken by vigorous
bombardment and assault during the
first few days of the siege. The igno-
rance of the allied generals in regard to
the strength of the works caused delay
which the Russians improved by making
the defenses almost impregnable.

whatever that the situation will be
improved Or in fact (if the
records Of this county are any
guido can be improved by The
GreenviIle Electric Light & Car
Company.
The City Council has been flood
cd with complaints galore from
outraged citizens as to ineiiciency

that the numerous articles appear

We fail to see that there can be
any objection to the erection Of

that the citizens get the benefit of
the reduced cost of light as tax
payers and as individuals, and we
earnestly advocate the erection of
the plant by the city, and trust
our citizens will vote for bond

The Danger Past.

The last two weeks Of March
are more dreaded by the gardener,
florists and fruit-grower in this
section than any other portion Of
the winter. Almost inevitably
the middleof the month is marked
by a period of warm and sunny
weather, during which fruit trees
bloom, garden vegetables grow
apace, and farmers and horticul-
turists are fooled into the belief
that Spring is come, about the
Goth cold wave is alm st sure to
sweep down, and all aro familiar

or even of Il mantl of snow

trees In the present month the
advance Of vegetation vas earlier
and more rapid than in many
years, and the sudden change from
summer warmth TO almost freez-
ing temperature on Wednesday
night found all vegetation -four
ing and even roses in full bloom.
Fruit trees had dropped their
blooms, and freeze would have
been ruinous to the fruit crop.
On Thursday night it was but
little above freezing, but FORUM

slight frost is reported, its
effect is not apparent on vegeta-

A CARD OF THANKS,

With feelings of profound graft
tude l tender my heartfelt thanks
to all who have helped respective
ly, either as contributors or solici-
tors to raise such Il respectable
sum as stated below for the main
enance of our orphan asylum for
the present year. ! thank you
personally. | thank you in be-
half Of the right reverend bishop,
and | thank you for the little or
phans and the good Sisters and
Brothers who watch over them,
guide and guard and educate them
with truly parental care, and
whose solicltude, without earthly
recompense, is simply to be able
to do SO, To the ladies particular
ly. who, at home and abroad, pur-
sued the notvery agreeable work
of begging so assiduously and
PerseyeringIy, sometimes under
rather difficult circumstances.
greatest praise and sincercst
thanks are due.
Glowing to the excitement and I'M
settled state of affairs resulting
from the yellow fever, which did
so much damage to human life
and property last summer and fall
in our own State, as well aa in
many others Of the South, we
feared the orphans would have to
suffer; that the collection would
be small. But God. who feeds the
birds of the air, would not see His
little children hunger. The small
deficit in the general collections
was more than made up by the
charitable bequest of His Grace,
the late Archbishop Janssens of
New Orleans, and the generosity
Of the good people at Edwards.
Contributions also, although un
came from some of the
various orders or societies of the
State as seen below. The net re-
ceipts then surpass by about $500 |
those Of last year, and for such a
pleasing and unexpected result we
again thank YOU all, and pray that |
God may bless and reward you a
thousandfold.
