brother who did, and then the man be-
gan to look. You don't mean to tell
me there is a place of that name do
you?' he asked. Why, l thought it
was sort of Maine joke. Out here
we say that man comes from Show

CONVEX. ZION OF ST. PAUL.
The Rev. Father McCorry'g Sermon at
ST. Mary's Church.

The Rev. Father McCorry delivered a
stirring sermon last evening to a large
congregation at St. Marys Church on the
conversion of st. Paul. saul! Saul! why
persecuteth thou me?" was the text Sc
lected by the reverend father for the oc-
casion.
Damascus is still city to-day" he
said, with a population of over 1876, 900,
but in the days of st. Paul it was the
grandest city in existence. ST. Paul was
hurrying there to do all in his power to
prosecute the Christians, kill all of them
dungeons. He had almost reached the
end of his journey, Damascus was in
sight, when suddenly from the heavens
comes burst of light and behind it
Jesus appears and in loud voice ex-
claims: Saul! Saul! why persecuteth
thou me-? st. Paul is thrown to the
ground from his horse, but when he arises
he is different man, and whereas before
he was the greatest enemy of the Chris
tfans he now becomes the greatest cham
pion- of Jesus.
1.-The first lesson We learn from the
conversion of st. Paul is that God speaks
to us and that we should answer and
obey him when he calls us. Secondly, you
hear people of to-day say that religion is
only good for women and children. If a
man with such great mind as st. Paul
had become converted surely we should.
Finally no doubt st. Paul had heard of
Jesus and also of his great kindness.
Possibly some friend of his had been
healed from sickness through Jesus or st.
Paul might have. been given a description
or Jesus death by one who was present
and really knew that Jesus was the son
of God, and only wanted word from
Jesus to bid him follow him"

>ABoLIsHING CHURCH TAXES.
Example Set by Artaxerxes, Pagan
King of Babylon.

At the Hamilton-square Baptist Church
on Post street, near Steiner, Rev. w. e.
Jenkins preached a sermon in which he
advocated the passage of the bill ex-
empting the taxation of churches row
pending in the Legislature. He very aptly
took for his text the order of Artaxerxes,
King of Babylon, exempting the captive
Israelites from taxation as they were re-
turning home to distant Jerusalem to re-
build their temple.
DR.. Jenkins argued that If the idola-
trous Persian monarch could abolish the
Government taxes of his captives an.
permit them to depart q free people t-om
his realms. could not Christian Govern
ment lift the same burdens from the i'm
poverished Christian churches?
The Christian population of a State is
not hard to govern, he said. mot very
much public money is expended on the
keeping of the law among church men-
bers. The jails are not filled with Chris
tan class. Christianity maintains the
peace The religious faith of this country
has made and upholds the Government
1t is the duty of the State to remove
every obstruction from the propagation
OF Christian precepts. The State owes
this to itself. The pagan Persian has set
California an example.
The church does not ask that its prop
erty be exempted from taxation-oniy
the buildings used for divine worship Let
the State law makers lift the taxes from
the poor churches.
