We see q statement that q converted

his store, Tor fear that they may lead to
gambling.
On the same principle he ought TO burn all
the drugs and medicines In bis store. Thls
for the simple reason that these drugs and
medicines. II improperly prescribed, and un'
willingly swallowed may bring on death. A
real, sure enough converted" druggist onght
To be consistent. Drugs improperly ad
ministered do more harm than playing cards.
And then a druggist who burns his playing
cards. may be prompted by the same motive
that moves other druggists to burn last years

We learn that the city hall will be on the

The new court house is TO be built In the

The buildings are to be such as 10 do honor
to any community, and will be a source OF
pride to the builders and to the people who
are at their back.

Rev. Mcmillan delivered q mission
ary sermon in the Presbyterian church Sun
day morning. Counting the ushers and the
there were l6S persons present. we
went to bear DR.. Wilson but Mr.. McMillan

and the most practical missionary sermon
that we ever heard. He made statements
which we believed. AS a rule we do not be-
lieve much hat the average missionary says
but as far as we could understand, the Kew.
Mcmillan made statements which We oia nol
doubt we're true. We have sometimes
thought that speakers on the subject OF mls-
sious did not expect grown up people TO &C
cent as literally true all that they SAID. AS
q rp,e their statements are entirely 30 at
variance with our " experience tnat we
lust don't believe very much that tney say
but ,n the case OF Mr.. MoMillan's talk on
Sunday morning we thought bis STATISTICS
were to be accepted as correct. At any rate,
we were so impressed with 1t that we thought
of our good friend and pions brother Gallo

grey matter that Is not already filled, we Just
know that a little OF Mr.. McMillan's speech
would nave filtered into his t%hinkpan. II We
had the copy OF Mr.. McMlllan's speeou "o

face of the fact that We had previously about

Can't Keep the Step.

This editor in some respects may be like
the recruit who Joined a well-drilled military
company. He thought the others couldn't
keep the step.
We have urged various reforms or changes
at Due West n in Mexico. but it seems that
the other men can'tkeep the step. When we
see our good friend and brother Galloway
break the step, we are undone, and We feel
like giving up.
For instance: We would educe expenses
in Mexico TO a minimum, but our good broth.
or seems more determined than ever to keep
up that great establishment beyond the Rio
Grsnde. And he won't keep the step.
Again This editor would make the sala-
ries OF the professors in Erskine $500. II
any professor refused to take as much as
sl.5OO, we would turn him out. We haven't
heard Of brother Galloway keeping the step.
We would arrange 30 as TO utilize a part OF
the time OF the higher paid professors in Frs
kline in teaching at the Female College, but
we wouldn't call 1t Female College. There is
no sex In college.
We would use part Of the money now
wasted in Mexico in raising the salaries OF
the eachers at Due West. We cannot see the
justice of paying nen In Mexico more than is
paid to men in the highest educational insti
tution In the church.
We would remove the orphanage from
Mexico TO this side OF the river.
We would abandon the Mexicans to their
fate II they cannot, after a quarter Of q cen
fury, pay something INTO the church treasury.
even as home mission churches are required
to pay.
We would, instead Of Synod's heavy
levy. consult with the peoI lie and see If 1t met
their approval. The Lord loves a cheerful
giver, but we are not informed Of his feelings
toward the grudging giver or the man who
gives not at all. But brother Galloway will
not keep the step.
We would change the plan Of assessment,
or we would revise the church rolls. AT Alb
beville, for Instance, We have IS members.
An average OF a dollar IL asked from each. A
large per cent. of our members never attend
service; some Of whom We believe have nev-
or been there. There are about fifteen, and
sometimes, possibly, twenty members who
respond to Synod's levy. In response to the
last call one man paid $40; one family paid
$40; one member paid SIS. Ten others con-
tributed $3.50. And sixty members paid
nothing at all.
This system makes q poor showing when
the per capita Is struck for seventy-nve.
Two men paid more than thirty-fye per
cent. OF the whole.
But, 1t may be that we an keep the step
and nave not enough church zeal TO pay a
heavy assessment TO keep up Mexico, which
pays nothing. II we are all heather. then
treat Us all alike. Nhat say you. Brother
Galloway?
