 List of Commandments
 It recosnizesethe earnest and effective work of the various orders of the church and calls attention to the fact that the list of communicants has growns10 per cent. in the last three years and the contributions exceed those of the preceding like period by $1,15O104, while this is encouraging on the side yet there are circumstances that leave us impressed always. We say oppressed with the sense of duties left un- done and of opened doors into which we have not entered.
 We dare not face the future without recognition of the fact that this church needs the stirring up of the wills of the faithful to the plenteous bringing forth of the fruit of good words, of the giving of their substance and themselves to further the Masters work. If the fact that Christ Is the captain of the missionary hosts were infused into the belief of christendom christendom would revolutionize its Chris tianity. For our own church it would mean less luxury, less extravaganza of expendi- ture on self, less social ambition, less pride of wealth, less self-indulgence of every kind. 1t would mean more prayer, more unselfshness and sef-denial, more sympa- thy with the poor, the ignorant, the vicious the outcast, the heather; more catholicity of evangelism and less ecclesi- astical sef-suffcency; more of the power of the Holy Ghost and, therefore, the transformation of apathy into the spirit of conquest"

PHILOSOPHY AND LABOR.

said that an eiRht-hour law making 1t a mis-
demeauor for any one to work for wages more
than eight out Of twenty.four hours or to hire
any one to do SO would remedy tho industrial
and economic evils. He asserted that 20 per
cont. of the laboring classes were idle. and that
a reduction OF 20 per cent. in the hours of those
now working would enable the idle ones to OBJ
tain work.
In the discussion that followed critic No. l
told Mr.. Logan that he wasn'ton the right track
at all; that what We wanted was to give every
man all the work he wanted for just as many
hours as he wanted.
"Where / work." he said. "those that howl
the loudest for eight-hour laws jump over them
selves to work nights"
Critic No. 2 asserted that Mr.. Logan's figures
were wrong and that one half of the men who
wanted TO work could not find any to do. He
thought that six hours were enough for any
man to work and that this would equalize things.

Cracks In the BuiidinEs in which They Live
ana Strange Noises Disturb Thorn.
The excavation for the building being erected
for the New York Life Insurance Company at
the southeast corner of Le nard and Elm streets
has caused some fears for the safety of tho
neighboring on Leonard street. The
excavation fills with water from q vein of quick
sand and has to be pumped out constantly. The
tenements at 100 and 132 Leonard street are
old and shaky in appearance, and have shown
signs of settling.
On Friday James Conway, tenant of the first
floor front room of 1872, was startled by a sudden
loud sound which seemed to come from the wall
of his room. A mirror hanging on the wall shook.
and several large cracks appeared in the ceiling
and walls. Other tenants also noticed cracks in
the walls, ana a crack in the front Of the build
ing appeared, throwing It out of plumb.
A building Inspector looked 1t over on Satur-
day, and according to the housekeeper. Mrs.
Rice, reported that there was no danger, and
that the sudden settling was due to q too sudden
removal of the props against the wall of the next
building. No further settling need be feared, he
said.
