THE METHODIST FUND.

The colossal sum OF twenty million
dollars has been raised BY the Meth
odists as their goth century fund This
shows the tremendous power of this
splendid church, as well as the pow
err OF united effort. No such under
taking was ever before dreamed of;
its gigantic proportions staggcr
one to think of This money has
been used to pay of church indebt-
edness, to build new parsonages, to
equip educational institutions, TO
build up struggling churches, and a
large sum has been reserved to meet
the growing needs and wants of a
rapidly growing church. The Meth
odist is a splendid organization. Ii
is tolerant, liberal and catholic in
its teachings and tenets. and in it's
policy and practices. This is an age
OF hugeness, largeness, but this tire
mendous sum of $4,000. 900, rails
ed as a thank Offering in the dawn of
the goth century, staggers the very
Imagination, but it has been accom-
plished. Nothing has equalled it in
the centuries which have gone be-
fore. 1t has been consummated by
adding the widows mite to the rich
mans thousands; here a little, there
a little, until the sum was raised and
the dream of the church was realized.
Such a church, with such an organiza-
ton, is compelled to do great good
for the glory of God and His people.

THANKFUL

The coal strike has created a Goa
as well as cold famine. In the larger
cities in which many houses are erect.
ed to be heated only by coal the sit.
uation among the poor is heartrend-
ing. These houses are so built that
it is impossible to heat them with
wood, but even il they could be heat
ed with wood, that article is about as
inaccessible, by reason of the price, as
coal. Here we are thankful to say
that while we have had only limit
ed supply of coal there has be- n
plenty of wood, and reasonably
cheap. This leads us to remark that
for cheapness of living in winter, as
well as in summer, fredericksburg
can't be beat. We can have as
many and as much comfort here
as anywhere else, and at very
little cost. We can set around an
open fire place, a la Ike Marvel, and
dream, as the sparks fly upward,
and as the fire glows and brightens,
dream of other people in other places
shivering by an empty CRATE. To
these people we exterd our sympa-
thies, and extend them a welcome to
come here, live among us, bring with
them their household goods and be
happy, for in doingso they will find
a plenty OF comfort and genuine hap
piness without much expense in the
attainment of the same.

We intended to 60 to the Bastille in
order to take a train for Chenneyleres
at the Care de Yincennes When we
arrived at the Boulevard Barbes we
were told to alight as the floor Of the
carriage containing the motor had
caught fire. The flames were extin-

train started slowly on its way to the
work shops ait the Place de Ia Nation.
We, with other passengers, were
crowded into the following train and
started off again, but when we had ar
rived between the Rue dAllemagne
and the Belleyille stations we had am
other stoppage. The first train had
pulled up in front Of us and INSTRUCTED
the line. We had to get out once more,
as il had been decided to push the first

train along with the assistance Of the
second Then a third train came up,
and we got IN, following the others.
AT the Charonnes station there was
another stop. Some passengers began
to complain and others laughed and
ioked, but no one was conscious Of
danger The station master was about
to give the order to proceed when two
