Il strikes the new conner here
as funny and risky business
when he learns that titles TO lots
on which fne brick buildings are
going ap are only in quit clam,
yet such is the case. The fact is
that a persen is perfectly safe in
building on a lot but he must
stay bere long enough to become
educated to the fact that he is
safe. Possession is ownership,
and when the appraisement is
complete the title will be made.
It strikes the stranger asa queer
proceeding just the same.

change that he was not permitted
without being insulted to preach
"modest amount Of truth" The mis-

number Of prayers, uttered on public

here is our criticism. We do not
admire pen-point prayers or head

these instances that the heart was not

objection to them is found in the fact
that they were always spoken of as
eloquent"
There Is no record of any such prayer
In the Bible. At their request the
Saviour taught his disciples the "sim-

definition of prayer than this?
