The pulpit Of the Presbyterian
church was filled yesterday by the
Rev. w A. Stevenson of the Cherry
street Presbyterian church of Seat
tie. Doctor Stevenson is fine
specimen Of physical manhood, is a
clear thinker and forceful speaker,
and possesses an earnestness which
impresses one with a feeling of his
genuine sincerity. He spoke the
subject of THE Dynamics of Faith, =
choosing for his text the parable of
he mustard seed. His sermon was
replete with incident and illustration,
and he emphasized the fact that
faith to h effective must be centred
in the right object and grounded on
the principal of eternal truth. He
spoke in the evening to good audi
ence on the subject, 1.-THE Goliaths of

FILTH MUST BE REMOVED.

For the last time I appeal to the
people of the city to abolish the use
of barrels and open receptacles for
swills and garbage. We are threat
ened with an epidemic of typhoid fe-
yer, and it behooves the sanitary Off.
Gals to enforce the ordinance in
places where it has been so shameful
" ignored. If, instead of spending
so much time in criticising the water
and other less probable sources of in
lection, you vigorously apply meas
ures to prevent the collection of filth.
and thereby exterminate the fly and
his breeding place, it would be much
easier to control disease. There is
no question but that the fly is very
prolific and dangerous agent in the
spread of disease, and all should
unite their efforts in his extermina-
tion
Those who still refuse to put their
premises in a sanitary condition will
be reminded by the sanitary police OF
their own and the public good.
