taches to the report Of the labor com

association of Congregational church
es Of its searching investigation of
the relations between wage-earners
and the church in New England man
ufacturing cities, This report, which
is distinctly optimistic, is based on
about one thousand answers to ques-
lions received from ministers, employ
ers, and labor leaders. The labor
leaders were about equally divided
on the attitude of the workingmen
toward the church, and sixty-five per
cent of the ministers believed that
workingmen were Just as active in
their churches as business and pro-
fessional men. The fact is not to be
overlooked, however, that there ex.
lists the Indifference on the one hand
of considerable minority of the
clergy, and the ignorance of many Of
the labor leaders as TO what me cler-
gy preach and teach and what the
churches do. The report wisely in
sists Oh greater interest by the church
in the special needs of wageearners
and an up-to-date adaptation Of mes
sage and modes of service to win the
modern man.

ICE WATER FOUNTAIN.
Kings Daughters Will Soon Have
One Installed In Park.

The Society of The Kings Daugh-

an ice water fountain in the public
park for the free use of our citizens
and friends. J.H.Parker is the archi-
tect and the plan shows thing of
beauty as well as of use The foun.
tain will be placed under the band
stand. The city council has had the
pipes laid and will make it their bus
mess to see that it will not be used
as a loafing place.
The plan will be submitted to the
society this coming week and the
work pushed rapidly along. 1t has
been suggested by some that screens
be put up around the band stand for
fear our townspeople will feel asnam-
ed to be seen taking a drink of water.
But we think they will soon get used
to it and be thankful to get a refresh
ing draught in as beautiful a place as
our park has grown to be.
