MINISTER TELLS OF SUPREME GIFT
Rev. j. w. COnIey, at First Baptist
Church, Speaks on Giving.

Rev. j. w. COn1ey, at First Baptist
Church, Speaks on Giving.
1.-THE Supreme Gift" was the subject OF
the sermon of Rev. J. W. Conley at the
First Baptist church Sunday morning. His
text was from Galatians i:2O. who Loved
Me and Gave Himself for Me-"
DR.. Conley said In part:
what is tho supreme Significance OF
Christ's coming into the world? The fund
amentsl theme OF the gospel is giving.
Yet we are to exercise care in giving lest
we lose the significance of giving. A gift
amounts to very little In value unless there
is something OF spirit in II as emanating
from the heart. Principle Is the essential
spirit Of giving. The great object lesson
of giving Is In the giving of Christ by God.
The mighty principle OF the gospel IL not
TO give time and money, but ourselves.
The supreme act Of the soul is giving itself
to God.
Two words. control and experience, are
the actuating motives Of the spirit Of Civ
ing. God gave Himself for man, for mans
redemption and salvation. We sometimes
make a mistake In the idea Of the atone
ment. Jesus on Mount Calvary is the d.
vine object lesson OF God giving Himself
for mans redemption. The divine giving OF
self runs through all eternity and Is con-
~tinuously the outpouring OF Gods self fof
mans redemption and salvation. The eK-
perience OF God in the gift Of Himself Is
the essential spirit Of experience God had
had no experience OF sorrow, suffering OF
pain. He cweIls IN supernai height know
ing nothing OF eaTth's sorrows OF pains.

with Indifference upon your sufferings7
But Gods great heart went out to you
with supreme sympathy and this was the

lieved here, Is the greatest ever taken

including $1,000 for his travelling and
training expenses.
Thus far 'Biil" squires, the local

issued a def TO Johnson. and the big
Texan has signified his willingness to
meet Squires for $40, 900 a side. II is

SQuires Will be able to find a hacker.
Johnson Is in perfect condition and
shows no marks of the battle with Burns.
While his end of the purse for defeating
the champion was small in comparison
with the amount received by Burns,
Johnson now is enabled to pick up a con-
siderable sum of money on the vaudeville
stage. He has been engaged by a sydney
music hall for a term Of five weeks for
an act consisting of bag punching and
the methods employed by him IN train
ing. For the work he will receive $l,70O
per week. In February johnson will sail
for London, where he expects to fight
Sam Langford, the American eolored
heavyweight, on Derby day, before the
National Sporting club.
Burns also is in good condition except
for discolorations about the eyes and a
badly swollen Jaw. At first II wa.
thought that the Negroes heavy swings
had broken the white mans jaw, but II
now turns out that II was only badly
bruised. The French-Canadian adheres
to the decision he made prior to meet
ing Johnson-that It would be his last
fight despite the result. He says he has
made during his fighting career $780,
600 and that this is enough to keep him
from want.
When Mcintosh sails for London next
week he will take with him the moving
pictures Of the J~ohnson-Burns fight.

CHANGERS ARE STUDYING.

Whether the constitution shall be
amended to provide for classified.
tion of property for purposes OF taxa.
tlon is the burning question of the
hour The grange has not yet pro-
nounced on this proposition. The
oranges are studying the question dill
igently. At the last session, by unan.
imous vote. the State Grange declared
its willingness to cooperate with all
other interests in promoting such a
revision of our tax system as would
be Just and fair to all classes. As
master OF the State Grange | have
neither authority nor desire TO speak
for that body till It has declared It's
position What | say Is the result OF
my personal convictions and upon my
own responsibility. Fifty-six years
ago the trainers OF our constitution
fixed therein the uniform rate ON a
property value, binding their own and
future generations. The tether Is too
short TO meet present conditions; let
us cut It and under proper restraint
have liberty TO go far afield in an
effort to reach the millions OF intangi-
BILE property now withheld because OF
the iron.clad uniform rate for all
classes OF property. II is my deliber-
ate opinion that there should now be
lodged in some department OF the
government, directly responsible to
the people, authority to revise our
system of taxation from time to time
as changed conditions, necessity and
experience suggest-F, A. Derthick

PEOPLES CAMPAIGN.
Portsmouth Daily Times In Full Sym
psthy With Tax Reform
Movement.

All over the United States there are
promotion societies OF various kinds,
seeking chimerical legislation of vari-
Gus sorts. which makes it refreshing
to hear from one that has plain,
sensible sort OF proposition to present
and advocate.
This body is the Ohio State Board
Of Commerce. and IL has set out to
organize county branches in move
ment II styles "The Peoples Cam
paign" TO secure the approval OF three
constitutional amendments to be
voted on this fall. The first Of these
I is TO permit the passage Of bill over
the governors veto by a two.thirds
vote of the members-elect Of the leg
islature, the second to fix the conven.
ing Of the Legislature In the January
first following its election the third,
to classify the subjects of taxation In
order to secure a just return from
each.
Thus IL presents measures that are
each proper and vital. Under the
! present law the legislatures meet
| after election in the even numbered
years, which means the representa-.
| tives and senators to be chosen this
fall will not assemble until 1910, un'
less they be convened by the governor
J in extraordinary session prior to that
| time. It will be necessary for this
sort OF a session in January, 1903
| since a United States senator has tc
be elected then to fill the vacancy ere
ated by the expiration Of J. b. For
| aker's term. Under any circum
stances It is a stupid piece Of busi
ness to postpone the assemblage Of Q
legislature II months after its cleo
tion. for its selection often turns or
issues that should receive its earl!
| attention.
The veto power OF thN governor o.
| Ohio was given the position only fouI
| years ago and its grant was loosel!
guarded The usual rule Of requiring
two.thirds rule to overthrow 1t wa
disregarded. and we have the surpris
ing and inGefensible plan OF the con
stitution requiring a vetoed bill TO re
ceive not less than Il received on IL
first passing to carry It over the gov
ernor's head. In other words, II
measure passed both branches unan
imously on its original passage AM
IL came back on veto, and every mem
Der except one supported 1t on recon
sideration, IL would be lost.
Among those who give taxation
much study there is but one voice fl
claiming tnat under the methods ex
isting millions OF assets as represent
cd by values can not be listed, an,
thus they do not bear their proportion
OF the public burdens. No one vii
have the hardihood to deny that sucl
inequality and injustice should b
) corrected.
II must be borne in mind, however
, that in order 10 carry a constitutions
, amendment II is necessary that II

the election to which II is submitted
All votes not cast for an amendmeH
