But there are three or four considera-
tions that will bring to those who are
sorrowful and distressed and that we
can always bring to them, knowing tnat
they will effect cure. And the first
consideration is that God sends our
troubles in love. often hear people in
their troubles say, why, | wonder
what God has against me?' They seem
10 think God has some grudge against
hem because trouble and misfortune
have come. Oh, mo- Doyou not remem-

the Lord loveth he chastenethg A child

truth and veracity is bad the inclination
of the public will be to take Mr.. Cleve-
lands word rather than Mr.. Nor
gan's because it is a matter That
the former must necessarily know more
about. More pertinent to the pending
issue is The disagreement between MT.
Morgan and President Dole. The. former
has alleged that Japan has designs upon
Hawaii, and has offered this as reason
why we should annex the islands now.
President. Dole on the other hand declares
that SO far as he knows-and his sources
of information must be quite as good as Mr.
Morgan's-Japan has no hostile de-
signs and even if annexation should fail
Hawaii woulds move along prosperously.
If President Dole is right one of the
strongest reasons which Senator Morgan
offered for annexation falls to the ground.
Probably Mr.. Morgan had not the slight
est intention of falsifying. The trouble
With him is that he belongs to the by
sterical order of statesmen, who exagger-
ate mole hills into mountains.

Net Debt, $4,000


The City of Berlin is situated in Coos County,
New Hampshire, on the Androscoggin River,
which furnishes at this point one OF the finest
water powers in New England.
The Boston g. Maine and Grand Trunk Rail-
roads give ample facilities.
The large Plants of the Berlin Mills Co., the
Burgess Sulphite Fibre Company and the Glen
Co. are located at Berlin.
In 1880 Berlin had q population Of 100, in
1890 the population was 1929, in 1895 1881 and IS
now estimated to be over 5000.
In 1895 the Berlin Mills Company employed
575 men, the Glen Co. 400. the Burgess Suphite
Fibre Company 125 and other smaller concerns
40 more.
Since then the Burgess Sulphite Fibre Com
pany have doubled the size of their plant, the
Glen. Co. have rebuilt and very much enlarged
their three mills and a shoe factory has been
built which now employs $50 operatives.
In addition to the water power required by
the above mentioned corporations $4,000 horse
power is yet unemployed and its development
will result in a steady growth in population in
the future.

1t may be that some of the New Eng
land cotton mills have reduced wages
unnecessarily, Shut the argument which
is'going5 the rounds of some of the papers
that because mill has been paying divi-
dends in the past reduction of wages at
this time is unoalled for is fallacious.
No concern can base it's present business
on the past. 1t must base 1T on the
conditions which exist. If the conditions
are such this year that the mills cannot
pay the wages that they did last year and
come out whole that is good reason for a
reduction no matter whether shey paid
dividends last year or not.
