distinct set of bonds to run 80 years
at low rate of interest, payable at
the end of 20 years if the city so
desires. Then establish sinking
fund that will pay double interest
on the bonds. This will insure the
interest annually and in the course
of time snug sum to apply on the
face of the bonds. The solution Of
the question is easy, no one hurt
and every resident of the city

WE have a good deal of respect
for man who refuses to subscribe
for a newspaper when he does not
wish to take it, but our contempt
for a man who takes and reads a
paper for one to five years and then
refuses to pay for it, is a long way
below zero. A man who will de
liberately do such a thing can hard
1y be classed in the line of desira-

tude is manly or womanly and we may
deceive ourselves into thinking that
we really don't care a fig what hap
pens to us or what we do as long as
we care to do it, but, If there is one
element of consideration for the
rights of others, unselfishness or self
sacrifice in our natures, we will call
halt in our reckless pace, whether
1t be in little things or in immense
problems which involve life or death,
when we think, though ever SO brief
ly, of those who depend upon us to
protect and maintain the good name
of the house. So closely are our lives
interviewer with other lives that we
cannot help lifting up somebody to
higher plane of things with our
attainment of more elevated places,
nor can we help dragging down some
body who doesn't deserve the hui
initiation, when we slip and slide in
to regions which are far below our
capacities and capabilities for the
achievement of good.

Working for Church Unity.

Windham county is doing her part
to bring about that unity in church
work which the interdenominational
comfy commission is laboring to
achieve, says the Brattleboro Re-
former. Twenty-four religious de-
nominations are organized in YER
mont and there is one religious Or
ganization corresponding to local
church for every 3S4 of the States
inhabitants. The commission is en-
deavoring to combine the forces as
far as can be done among the evan
gelical churches and the catalogue OF
results shows that that section of the
State realizes the necessity of such a
move.
In Wilmington the Nethodists have
left the field for the Baptists, Congre-
gationalists, and Universalists. At
Cambridgeport an undenominational
union church building Is used by a
Congregational church and society
with preaching by a Methodist pas
tor resident at Bellows Falls. The
Congregational church at South

dist pastor who resides at Wards
boro. At Jacksonville union
church building is used for Metho
