Occasionally you hear the re-
mark, Il wish | was out of this
town., and then one feels like
saying, Il wish you were, for a
man who stands on the street
corners chewing and splitting,
telling obscene stories, cursing
the town, finding fault with his
grandmother because she was a
woman, claiming that the mer
chants are a lot of thieves, that
the lawyers and newspaper men
would skin a man to a finish and
a whole lot more is a nuisance
and an abomination. Any town
pestered with one or more such
worthless would be justified in ex.
ercising cowhide authority. No
one is obliged to live where he is
not suited. If one hasn't an en-
couraging word for the business
enterprise and institutions of his
town, he should shut up and "go
way back and sit down" If
things don't suit you, move to
where they will. A growler and
sorehead in a town is an enter
prise killer every time. 1t would

QUESTIONS ANSWERED.

Any person may mail any biblical guess
ton to DR.: Gilbert, 1903 r street, this city.
and receive answer through The Star.
10. Why, in the Bible does 1t say the
rich shall not go to heaven?
Answer: The Bible does not say so. The
passage from which this thought may have
been derived mark, x:23) says nothing
about heaven, but the kingdom of God.
That kingdom is in this life, not In the
next. They enter into IL who submit their
lives to God. 1t is difficult. but not impose
sible. for the rich to do this. So it is diff
fcult for vicious or criminal man. The
allusion to the camel in the passage very
appropriate. That beast, in order to enter
Jerusalem at certain hours, must lay of his
burden and be pulled through a hole in the
wall called the eye of g needle.
141. Why. in the Bible, is the heart men,
toned as the center from which emanates
all righteousness? Is not the mind superior
over the heart in that ii determines and
the heart does not?
Answe-: The English words mind. heart,
soul, spirit are not full equivalents Of the
original for which they stand The Hebrew
and the Greek words, translated heart. de-
note that central part or power OF mans
imma terial nature, In which original all
the doings of his outward life. BY il and
its issues. therefore man is rightly judged,
either as good or evil. That interior must
be kept with all diligence proverbs iv:

fin Local Churches.

The first services OF the recent united
Assembly and North Presbyterian churches,
on y street between 9th and 10th streets
northwest, will be held tomorrow morning
under the supervision of Rev. DIR. Benjamin
F. Bittinger who has been supplying the
pulpit of the North Church since the death
of Rev Charles b. Ramsdell Rev. DIR. Geo.
p. Wilson OF the Assembly Church, who by
the action OF the presbytery assumes charge
of the pastorate OF the United Congregation
will preach an appropriate sermon.
The name of the new church was selected
Monday. July - II is stated that there
win be extensive improvements made to
the church. The understanding is that the
Assembly congregation will bring with 1t
the proceeds amounting to nearly &o,Voo
from the sale of its property and appropri-
ate this to the enlarging and remodeling OF
the North Church. No steps as yet nave
been taken, but il is intended TO make inc
church an attractive house OF worship. II
Is stated that the greatest harmony ana
unaminity of sentiment have prevailed, CIV
ing the promise that by the united endeav-
ors of the members OF the new chUrch a
large degree of success shall be secured.
Plans have been considered, but none POSI-
lively adopted, for the reconstruction OF lhe
church building. owing to the absence OF
large number of the congregation from the
city. No opportunity has been afforded oy
which the future conduct of the new church
shall be carried on. although 1t douptless
will be characterized by energy and zeai.

alton of international or interprovincial
electric car lines. Some street railways,
which depend largely upon their Sunday
excursion traffic. fear that they may be
forced out of business.
The bill is the outcome of the efforts Of
the Lords Day Alliance, which is largely
nonconformist in its makeup, but which
has considerable sympathy and support
from the Anglican and Roman Catholic
communions. Some provisions Of IL, such
as those prohibiting excursions and the
sale of foreign papers, seem harsh and dis
ingenious, but there is undoubtedly-per-
haps owing to the preponderance of the
Scotch element in the population much
stronger public sentiment In favor of
strict Sunday observance in Ontario at
least than in any part of the United
States. Its reception by the Inhabitants
Of the province of Quebec is likely TO be
hostile, but as a government measure it
will probably be passed If II goes
through at this session summer visitors
from the United States will be wise to
shape their itinerary so as to do no trav-
cling on Sunday.
