purchased a new switchboard,
fitted complete with all the in
struments necessary to handle
and gauge the current, some
thing the city has never yet had,
and the lack of which has been
the cause of a good deal of our
trouble. Out of the funds the
Board has reserved a sum suf-
ficient to provide the city with a
complete new system of lighting
and to overhaul and repair the
pole line, setting new poles. etc,
so as to put the same in first
class condition.
Taking the Light and Water
Plant as a whole, and consider
ing everything in connection with
them, we r of the opinion that
our Board of Aldermen should
be commended for the enterprise
spirit of progress, business ac-
umen and energy they haye dis
played. We believe that Con
tractor O'Beirne has about re-
moved from the minds of orr
people the idea that it was i'm

frauded and tangled up in litiga.

came here, land we want to say
that we have watched carefully
to see whether there would be a
repetition of our School House
muddle) has Indicated that while
he is a thorough business man
and as such watches every point
to save himself, still he can be re-
lied upon to carry out his con-
tract to the letter, and do it un-
hesitatingly and without ques-
ton. In his design of the plant
and in his supervision of the con
struction of the same, Engineer
Wilcox, of Jackson, has display
ed the same ability which, al
though he is a young man, has
placed him at the head Of his
profession in the state.
At a meeting held on Tuesday
afternoon, the Board employed
Mr.. II. b. Webb as Superinten-
dent of the two plants at a sal
airy of$1000 and ten per cent on
the net profit of the plants made
during the year. For about a
year Mr.. Webb has had charge
of the old light plant, and while
in that position his fertility ofre-
source, ingenuity, industry and
ability were taxed to the utmost
and demonstrated beyond a
question that he is the proper
man for the position he now
holds. Mr.. Webb will have the
assistance of a night Engineer
and two Firemen as an operat-
ing force tor the Plants, and for
a while he will in addition be
compel to employ reconstruction
force in overhauling the Light
lines,
SO far as we can see, and we
have examined into the matter
with the idea Of reconciling some
complaints we have heard with
the facts as they exist, if possible,
we believe the City is to be con
Graduated on its Plants. Oh
course the Water Plant would be
more complete if a duplicate set
of Filters and a Tank and Tower
could have been added but the
plans of the board have been so
laid that in the future, whenever
the CITY is able to do so without
q burdensome tax on the people,
these can be added at a mini
mum cost, and until that time,
we, speaking for ourselves, are
indeed proud ofMacon's achieve
ment.

Some years ago We witnessed a pub

at the end of the school term. The
distractions of much dressing and
much company operated pretty severe.
~ ON the tickle memories of the chill
dren- One little friend lost herself in
confusion and stammered to a dead
stop in her recitation. Just then her
mother moved from out the crowd and
took a seat in full view of the little
one.
The loving look of that silent face
brought order out of confusion. Mind
and tongue Immediately resumed thei1
functions, everything was lost sight OF
and the lessons all came back in per
feet order. The examination was fin.
ished in triumph.
Many a time since then as We have
seen some struggling heart confused
by the worlds noise and temptation
we have felt like bidding it look up
into the familiar face Of the Heavenly
Father and be treasured that all is
well. Not only is there life in a look
at the beginning, but there is assur'
ance and confidence all along the way,

The Thing Worth While.

know that many of you are puzzled
to know in what direction you can
start to help Christ to help the world.
Let me say this to you in that connec-
ton:
Once I came to q crossroad in the
old life and did not know i'll Which
direction God wanted men to help
hasten His kingdom. l started to read
the Book to find out what the ideal life
was, and l found that the only thing
worth doing in the world was to DO
the will Of God; whether that was
done in the pulpit or in the Sums;
whether it was done in the college
or class room. or on the street, did not
matter at all. My meat and drink"
Christ said. sis to do the will of Him
that sent Me-" and if you make up
YOUR mind that you are going to DO
the will of God above everything else,
it matters little in what direction you
work.
There are more posts waiting for men
than there are men waiting for posts.
Christ needs men in every community
and in every land; it matters little
whether we go to- foreign lands or
stay at home, as long as we are sure
we are where God puts us.-Henry
Drummond.

In Wiser II

A lady, who had been three or four
years away from her childhood's home
and settled in one of her own, was
taken seriously i'll. Her mother. with
all a mothers solicitude,. was anxious
to be with her daughter at once, and
FASTENED to her bedside. SHE found
skilful physicians in attendance and a
trained nurse in charge; there was
really nothing for her to do-nothing
that she could be permitted to do.
Day after day she made brief. silent
visits to the sick room (even her pres
ence could not be allowed long, and

lty is unessential. A longer or. q
shorter ritual of worship is ~unessential,
provided the light and power of relig-
ion are present. Faith, worship, as
piration. loving human service, these
are the essential elements in religion
and the forms in which they embody
themselves will be vital.
The living, inspirational church that
is saving men from worldliness and
practical materialism, that is helping
them to see the unseen and eternal,
that is helping them to worship in the
noblest sense of that word-that is, to
attribute supreme worth to the lofty
ideals of justice, truth, love, which are
only another name for God, to love
and revere these ideals, and to devote
themselves with perfect conservation
to their realization in human society
such a church is fulfilling it's true mis-
sion, by whatever name that church
may be called, and is in no danger of
being discredited in our modern life.
In such a church there will be no
distinction between classes. between
the rich and the poor, no lingering caste
spirit, no recognition of a difference of
rank and dignity between ministers
and people: in the conscious presence
of the All Father there will be perfect
equality between the worshipers.
In such a church there will be no
spirit of solemn gloom miscalled rev.
erent awe, an Inheritance from a prim-
tive religion of fear, but a spirit of
radiant hope, of Astounding joy, of
genuine human sympathy, the spirit
of a larger home.
The themes of the pulpit of such a
church will be closely related to the
actual needs of the people, selected
from every quarter, but selected solely
that their consideration may minister
most effectively to personal and So
cial righteous character.
Membership in such a church will
be unrestricted, free to all who share
a common spirit and are seriously
working toward a common ideal end.
In such a church there will be no
.lealC. IS rivalries between the members.
but in place of these a generous spirit
of emulation to serve II another and
the common cause. AS [ said before,
the practical activities of such an in
spirational church will not be artificial
and forced; they will be the perfectly
natural expression of the vigorous
religious life of minister and people.
