Presbyterian ChronicIings
tBy Rev. E. M. smeadJ

The regular morning and evening
services will be conducted as usual
next Lords Day. In as much as
last Sunday was set apart for "Rally
Day" and as much as we did not
keep it in the usual manner it is
advisable TO observe next Sunday.
Let there be a general rallying of all
our forces in the church attendance,
the Sunday school and the Christian
Endeavor The pastor will expect
to see you all next Sunday.
The Quarterly Calendar will be
printed in time for distribution at
the Sunday services. This issue
will contain the new cut of the
church which THE PRESS has had
made. The coming quarter will
witness some changes in our mode
of work and this Calendar will give
you the information desired in this
matter.
1t was a great pleasure to have
the Rev Herman c. Berg, D. D..
pastor of the Reformed church at
Ellenville, with us last Wednesday
evening" at prayer meeting. His
words were much appreciated by
ali present.
Mr.. Perot's plan for a choral
society in Milford is very good and
should receive the support of us all.
The talent that we have here should
be developed. Then, too, there is
the pleasure that such a society will
afford us. Please come to the church
for the meeting one week from to-
night (Friday.)
Our most sincere and heartfelt
sympathy is hereby extended to Mr..
Wood in his sore bereavement in the
loss Of his father. The Lord gave,
but in His all-wise providence He
hath taken away, but may both be
looked upon as blessings from our
Heavenly Father by, those who
mourn.
The Woman's Presbyterial Mis-
sionary Society met with us yester-
day morning and evening and it is
mildly putting it to say they brought
MS an inspiration and blessing. May
they take away with them kind re-
memberances Of our hospitality and
the reali2ations Of our prayers and
best wishes.

The pastor has been unable. be.

control, to write for his column in
the paper in the last two issues.
The coming Of Rev. Arpe to con-
duct evangelistio services was timely
after all as he filled in the break
which the pastors absence occasion.
cd. Brother Arpe labored faithful

everyone will readily recognize, and
although results in the salvation of
souls were not seen we cannot saw
VIC have not had a revival. Our

however, as some folks can't be
reached in any other way. Some
day the preachers may have to
stand ON church steeples and shout
their messages TO the town. The
attendance, however, has been good
the meetings interesting and not
lacking in life, and the impress
made by the earnest words Of the
evangelist we hope will be of lasting
benefit to oil who heard him. We
shall look forward to his return to
us in March if, in Gods providence,
it may so be arranged. In the
meantime we invite attendance at
all our mid. week services. We
shall plan to make them as interest
ing and profitable as possible.
Subject next week, Egypt and
Canaan, or the contrast between
false and true religion.
The PASTORS father passed over
the boundary line into che other
world Sept. 2s at 10 p. m. It was
with him, as he said, simply "going
home. " A brief sketch of his life
will be inserted next week for the
perusal of those interested. Many
good friends have very kindly ex.
tended their sympathy to the pastor
in his hour of sorrow and for this he
is very grateful.

COUNTY.
For Jury Commissioner
JOHN S. DURANT,
of Westfall township.


The matter of assessments is re
ceiving unusual attention at this
time. This being the triennial
when values will
THE be flxed for the
ASSESSMENT next three years,
QUESTION it is proper that
those who have
the duty to perform should exer-
else care and Judgment so as to
do no injustice to property owners.
It is the intention of the law to tax
every person in exact accordance
with the value of his property, and,
if this is done there can be no rea-
sonable complaint. The burden will
then be equitably disposed, every
one paying his just proportion.
This is fair No one should be COM
pelled to assume a disproportionate
amount, and by whatever process
the result is reached the assessment
should represent the value of the
property.
One objection urged Is that an
increase in value will afford IRE.
sponsible township officials an op.
portunity TO levy uncomfortable
and burdensome taxes. This argu-
ment is a reflection on the intelli-
gsnce of voters. If they Will exercise
care in selecting their officers and
elect only men of Judgment and
honesty, no matter with which party
they affiliate, there will be no great
danger from this source. Party
lines should be disregarded in local
affairs and only the fitness Of the
man considered. The tax farmer
pays to maintain the state and nation
is a mere trihe and is in no wise
regulated by the valuation placed on
his land. Roads, schools, bridges.
the poor, cost Of local courts and the
expenses and fees of township and
county officials constitute the sub
ieots ne is taxed to maintain. He
knows personally the men who seek
township and county Offices, he
knows their fitness and worth aud
If he is 50 hide bound and narrow
as to prefer a party name TO his
own and neighbora best interests he
deserves to be taxed into a realizing
sense Of his bigotry.
There isno valid argument against
doing what is just and fair in the
matter Of assessments. There are
no substantial reasons why the law
regulating them should not be
obeyed, especially when such q
course would work Justice and not
iniquity to the taxpayers.

We heartily commend the effort
to organize a choral society In town.
Tbemethod ofiearn
-. ing to sing by note
seems to have lost
prestige greatly during the past two
decades. Years ago there was hard
ly country school house in which
a singing school was not held during
the winter months and towns also
maintained singing societies. Now
only few young people, compare
lively, attempt to learn or practice
singing. The general desire to do ST.
whioh formerly prevailed appears t-
have waned. The church choiIs
and Sunday schools are evidences f.
older people of this decline in vocl
proficiency. The truth of the oh
triplet

has become a truism in many
churches where formerly the congrc

that part of the worship. If interest
can be awakenedin vocal music gen.

Mrs. Tracy Delivered an Interesting
Address in the Presbyterian
Church Last Night

At the meeting in the Presbyter-
ian church last evening Mrs. Joseph
7. Tracy of New York addressed
the audience on a topic novel in
some respects because of her stand
point of view. Her remarks were a
brief resume of the condition and
needs of the Mountaineers in the
South. She urges that they are
decended from good stock, but be-
cause of environment have degener-
ated TO their present low intellect
ual and moral level that with per-
sistence they may be educated and
imbibe good citizenship and become
a force in disseminating respect for
law, orderand religion. They permit,
if they do not yet greatly encourage,
the building of school houses and
churches in their territory, and Mrs.
Tracy presents rather attractive
picture of the possible effect which
an increase in the number OF chose
institutions may have on class of
people generally regarded as some
what incorrigible and rather hope
lesslY addicted to feuds, tobacco and
moonshine whiskey.
Her manner is sincere, her argu-
ment and illustrations pleasantly
persuasive and the denizens of the
mountains in the south could have
no more potent advocate for their
regeneration than Mrs. Tracy.

The trainload of Washington news
paper correspondents who have been
making a tour of the arid states can
be depended upon during the coming
year to give the east a much needed
education on the vast possibilities
and latent resources of that wonder
ful region. The strongest point
impressed upon the minds Of the
correspondents was that the develop
ment Of the west makes for the pros
perity and progress of the whole
country. The time has come for the
government to realize that the vast
land and water resources of what is
known as the arid region belong to
the whole people of the country and
that the great public domain is as
much the heritage of the children of
Massachusetts as it is of those Of
Montana. This rich domain, needing
only water, should be held for actual
settlers and homebuilders and kept
from land spectators and great live
stock interests which are anxious tC
absorb it.
