D., substituted the report of the committee in the place of the customary discourse.
 The people were in high expectancy and were not disappointed. It was the first official word from the committee on the subject of the progress of the subscrip- ton fund. The committee has been at work quietly, keeping its own counsel, and making every endeavor to reach the entire membership of the church. No general canvass of the city was made but, as reported by the committee, there were outside friends of the church, who showed their interest in the movement by generous subscriptions to the building fund.

 After so long a time. your Committee on Subscriptions to the building fund of the First Baptist Church feel at liberty to make at least a partial report of the results of their labors.
 Tt will be remembered by you that in the beginning we set out to raise an amount not less than $40000 over and above our property on Court Street. Our endeavors has been to make the move- ment. not a special one among a few friends of the church. but popular one among the entire membership and con gregation. Just how far we have suc- ceeded in reaching this end will be dis closed by the results of our work
 "We have tried to work with sympathy and patience. with an eye to the real conditions of our church life, and we have kept in mind ever that our current work has had to be carried on and our current expenses met. In our canvass we have encountered no real unpleasant- ness of any kind and our people every. where have received US kindly. On both | sides. of the giving, We have met with

Strange as this statement may seem it is perfectly true. On the first windy day go into, the garden, taking with you the brightest saw you have. If the wind is blowing from the north. hold the saw with its ends pointing, one to the east, the other to the west. Take the saw as If you were going to cut the air upward and let the teeth, which are on top tilt over till the fiat part of the saw is on an an- gle of 45 degrees with the horizon. Now. if you look along the teeth of the saw you can see the wind pour over the teeth as plainly as the water over a watherfan.
