ACCEPTS CALL
TO PASTORATE
MINNEAPOLIS MINISTER IS
INSTALLED
DELIVERS INITIAL SERMON
DELIVERS INITIAL SERMON
Rev. G. A. CIeaveIand Enters Upon
Duties at Orchard Avenue Baptist
church-Large Congregation
Attends Services

large congregation gathered in the
Orchard Avenue Baptist church yes
terday morning to hear Rev. G.. A.
Cleaveland, who had been called to the
pastorate of the church at a business
meeting during the preceding week.
The formal notice of this action was
handed to Rev. Mr.. Cleaveland by
George c.. Thornburg, church clerk,
and in a brief address he signified his
acceptance of the call.
The devotional part of the service
was participated in by Rev. E. G. o.
Groat and D. P. Ward, Sunday school
missionary.
Following is synopsis of Rev. Mr..
Cleaveland's morning sermon based on
the text: For other foundation can
no man lay than that which is laid,
which is Jesus Christ" 1 Cor. iii, IL.
Christ is to the church what the
foundation is to a building. The shape
and size of a structure, it's solidity or
its frailty. depend first upon the char
acter of the foundation on which it is
built. Proper materials and workman
ship must be used in the superstruc-
ture, but those will fail unless the
foundation is right.
Jesus Christ is the foundation OF
his church. That which does not rest
upon him and receive it's form and
authority from him is not the church
This is true of the doctrine of the
church. What is taught must be de-
termined by reference to the revelation
which Christ has given. Not the vote
of councils, nor the voice of tradition,
nor the dictum of bishops or pope; but
the teaching OF Jesus Christ, is to de-
the religious teaching in our pulpits
and Sunday schools.
This is to be true, secondly, of the
social and business life of the church.
These are to be governed absolutely by
the principles of righteousness and
beneficence, of purity and love, taught
by Jesus Christ.
"A cloak of religion will not alter
the nature of an essentially wicked act
or institution. If the effort to get
something for nothing at the expense
of ones neighbor, is the principle of
gambling, and is sin, at card table
or in connection with a block of stocks
in a bucket shop or stock exchange,
then it is the principle of gambling
and is a sin when found in the form
OF a guess cake, a grab bag or a wheel
of fortune at church fair.
Thirdly, the church is to rest on
Jesus Christ, to be governed absolutely
by his teaching and by his spirit, in
its work as an evangelizing agency.
The time has come when we must
make it plain to the people that the
methods and appeals of Christian
evangelism are not intended to bring
them to an hysterical frame of mino
in which they will believe absurd pro-
positions, and say and do things which
in sober moments their reason must
repudiate; but that the desire and eff
fort of the church are aimed at lead
ing people into fellowship with the
sanest, sweetest, most reasonable life
the world has ever known, by making
them disciples of him who lived and
taught such a life"

world. Its economy, it's physical and
moral order was the very best it could
be for it's inhabitants. Take hold of
your opportunity and turn the baser
metals into gold. You can do It.
These views of nature and Gods
economy and Gods kingdom gave Jesus
his social optimism and idealism. His
spirit of triumph reached to the grave
and death itself"

A Rad TAX SYSTEM.

Grave discomfort is spreading
throughout the state because of har-
assing suits for back taxes of all
kinds from all quarters, says the
Louisville Post. No man can know
when he is through with the tax col
lector, no man can know in advance
what his taxes are to be. Our laws
are so complicated and so contradic-
tory and so differently interpreted
by different courts, and so at vari-
ance in many respects with wisdom
and experience, that tax returns and
tax payments are the most difficult
and disagreeable duties imposed on
men of business.
Taxes should be certain. They
should be reduced to the smallest
sum consistent with the necessities
of government. They should not be
subject to fluctuation. They should
rest lightly upon the productive en-
ergies OF the people. They should be
in proportion to the benefits and serv
ices rendered by the state, in so far
as this is possible.
If one will take our city and state
laws and compare them with these
requirements, one may see how far
short they come of reasonable and
an intelligent system.
Bad as the general system Is, the
system of back taA collecting is
worse. No one can sympathize with
the tax shirker, but the tax shirker
is really not annoyed by these back
taxes, 1t is the man of business, the
manufacturer. the investor who is
made the object of these suits. In
so far as these suits seek to apply
a violated law, they indicate ineffi-
cheney of state officers somewhere. In
SO far as they are mere exactions. the
purpose of which Is annoyance and
compromise. they ore an injury TO
the state and reflection on the gov
eminent.
Something should be done to
avoid suits for back taxes. We must
simplify our laws. we must make
clear their requirements, and we
must put in office men who will not
wait until back taxes are accuhulat-
ed through years of neglect, but who
will act promptly, requiring all men
and all corporations 10 meet an
equal burden with equal promptness.
We think nothing is doing the
state of Kentucky more harm just
now than these back tax suits, speak
ing of them in the aggregate. Some
of them, no doubt, are just; some of
them are due to reasonable differ-

How the japanese Soldiers Are Kept

THE Worlds Work for February
The student OF military AFFAIRS
who seeks an explanation OF Japan's
Victories over the Russians will prob
ably find Il in the genius of the Jap
anese for organization. Their goal
has been the efficiency of the indi-
yidual soldier; and they have made
him efficient by tightening his equip
ment. and by making his health and
comfort their chief care. Their idea
is to enable soldier TO march and
fight all in the same day. II neces-
sary. Water-bottIe. canteen and
mess-tin are all made Of aluminium;
and their army-boots are about one
fourth lighter than the ordinary
article, but not less durable. They
are flexible at the instep, and are
made with a view to ease In walk
ing. Their stretchers, being mostly
of bamboo. combine strength with a
minimum of weight. At the ends
OF the stretcher are light metal
frames, supporting cover at a com
Portable distance above the patient;
and the whole, which weighs twelve
pounds, folds up automatically INTO
transportation. In looking out for
the health and fitness of the soldier,
the japanese have overlooked no
detail, from the tin-box OF creosote
pills, as a prophylactic against dys-
entary, to the mosquito net for the
head In summer, or the sheepskin
waistcoat for winter. This mosquito
net, Il should be remarked, is not

Anxious For City TO Decide the
Sewer Question.
II Has Never Even Been Decided to
Build Any sewcrage---scvcraI

EXTENDING THE SEWERAGE

The question of storm water sew.
erage Is a serious one In Paducah
just now. II seems that not only
has the city not decided when to be.
gin work on the storm water sewer.
age for those streets TO be paved this
year. but has not even decided Ia
build any storm water sewers at all.
There are some peculiar phases
of the storm water sewer problem.
The city solicitor recently decided
that storm water sewerage Is a part
Of the street, and must be paid for
as the remainder of the street Is paid
for--half by the city. half by the
property owner. II is, consequent
ly, the intention of the board of
works to recommend that the specifi-
cations for street paving also CON
tain the storm water sewerage as a
part of the street, wherever storm
water sewerage is needed.
Just where II is needed. however.
does not appear to be certain. City
Engineer Washington thinks that
storm water sewerage ought to be
provided at least on Jefferson street
and Kentucky avenue from First to
Ninth. the cross streets to have sur
face drainage to the storm water
pipes on Kentucky and jefferson
streets.
Mayor Yeiser. however, is said to
be in favor of building no storm wa
ter sewerage. but TO drain. the water
over the surface of the paved streets,
which would be extremely disagreed
BILE and ineonyenient, especially
where the street car tracks cross at
Fourth and Sixth streets. This sur
face drainage might do very we'll on
streets In the outskirts. where the
fall Is good. but II Is not deemed ad-
yisable in the business part of the
city. which needs quick and com
splete drainage.
Members of the board of works,
however, are very anxious for the
city to do something about 1t, and
decide where the sewerage is to be
built. and then let the contract. It
is generally admitted by both the
engineer and board of works that the
work on this storm water sewerage
ought to be under way right now, so
the ground will have plenty of time
to settle.
Another question that here arises
however, Is, II the storm water sew
erage is part Of the street proper,
can the contract for Il be let until
the whole job Is let? Some claim IL
IL is a part of the street, the con
tract will have to be all let together.
Another thing Is that the storm
water sewerage will make the cost of
paving the streets fall much more
heavily on some than others. A man
on one street might have to pay for
only the paving, while his neighbor
around the corner who gets no more
benefit, might have storm water
sewerage in front of his house, and
The Paducah sun. [volume] (Paducah, Ky.) 1898-1906, 1905-03-14

The attention of the general coun-
ell is called to its costly delay in get
ting the storm water sewerage in be-
fore the street reconstruction proper
begins. 1t always is best to allow
the ground to settle. If this had
been done on Broadway. 1t might
have saved the city and contractors
hundreds of dollars.

Russian Soldiers Are Worn Out
and Discouraged.
LOSS OF OFFICERS VERY HEAVY

st. Petersburg, Mar. 1i.-Russia's

thousands killed or taken prisoners

Mukden, is gathering slowly behind
Notifications of Tie Pass, which were

II may be, however. that even now
they are being turned out of those
positions. Rumors are current that

north of Fakoman to take a position
in the Russian rear.
There are indications that the

show that they are extremely heavy

Kuropatkin admits $4,000 wound,

as to how many were killed. wounded
and prisoners were left behind: and
from his picture of little handful

bore the brunt of the fighting. The
exploit Of the coo at Balaklava pales
besides this. Even the losses In

scarcely to be compared.
