Often the Church Building society
has to cut down the application OF q
church, forcing it to hard struggle TO
pay up; then the church must nave
more aid from the Home Missionary
society the next year because they
emptied their pockets on the building
and the extra expense to the Home
Missionary society proves to be more
than the amount the Church Bulluihs
society cut them down, The greatest
trouble home missionary has is IN the
struggle to pay for a church building
when the Church Building society cam
not aid him promptly and sufflclently;
worry, overwork, sickness follows, ana
often he leaves, broken down. Thus
by prompt payment of bills, revival
and self-support, we see that every
81, 900 given to the Congregational
Church Building society will save $1,000
to the Congregational Home Mission
airy society in about three years.
AT the monthly business meetings
the society has to refuse from one
fourth to two-thirds of the appllca-
tons; it should have nearly twice its
present income in order to help the
Home Missionary society do It's work
with economy and efficiency.

THE TEACHERS ANNUITY GUILD.
Iii recent letter to the financial sec
rotary, Hon. c. d. Hine said: In gem
eral am entirely in sympathy with
the objects of the guild as.set forth in
Article III M sll
THE affairs Of the guild have been
managed admirably, and all engaged
in its work have evidently co-operated
to make 1t a success Without doubt
as the years go on, it will prove a
most beneficial organization to all Who
are so fortunate as to become mem
bers."
Such words from Secretary Hine,
who Is in position to know, show how
this work should be considered by
thoughtful persons.
Younger teachers should consider
them carefully and remember that they
can not become members after wait
ing two or three years to decide, with
out paying back dues to the time when
1t was their privilege to join.
Members should remember this In
presenting the case The aims and
purposes of the guild, and the fact OF
its successful existence, should stimu-
late all workers for it, and all Of the
public interested in 1t, to give d hearty
support to the grand musical to be

and Tuesday evenings, March 20 and

large dose of paris green about a ne
O'Clock Saturday morning with suicidal
intent, died about $3.50 o'clock yester-
day afternoon, all efforts of DR.. Marsh,
the physician who had been called to
attend her, proving unavailing. Mrs.
Moran was discovered taking the paris
green by her son, whom she had sent
to the drug store for the poison. When
the boy saw her taking the paris gree.
he ran out and called some neighbors
who went to the Moran house and sum

Ill-health and dependency resulting
therefrom is thought to have been the
cause of the womans terrible act.

Demanding High Rentals.
A newcomer who has been looking

i'll this town anyway? ] see thousands
Of flats and offices tenantless but as
most of them are beyond my means I'm
curious TO know why the landlords
don't come down a peg or two and give
poor fellow a chance to locate within
reasonable reach of his business. And
so axe others. A friend Of mine mp in
Harlem is one of three occupants of q
fat house built for ten. The seven apart
mcnts have been empty year, but the
agent refuses to lower the rent when
any one Of the three threatens to change
his address. nor will he scale down the
monthly figure in order to fill the va
cant and profitless rooms. And this
ism { solitary case Of this sort, by any
means. Another real estate agent has
been holding row of fine flats for
nearly three years because nobody feels
like sluandering $1,000 on any one of
them. If he had knocked off $500, he
could have rented every one Of them.
just why the metropolitan landlord
prefers loss to gain is ore of the secrets
Of the real estate business that outsid-

Another peculiar feature of the bust

in while and puts up such bold front
that he gets a receipt on his promises.
In the same house is another tenant
who pays $65 a month, but he shuts up
his apartments fer two months every
summer and goes seaward. He fatty re-
fuses to pay rent while doing the grand.
and the landlord hasn't as yet done a
thing to him. Still another high fiier
puts up S75 month for the pick Of the
premises. He's IN about four months
now, but as yet care hasn't carved any
