". NJ. Clark was reelected secre-
tary, and $4,000 was fixed as the tax
budget for the district, at the annual
meeting of the school board, held Sat
urday evening. The sum for taxes that
will be certified to the county auditor
for levy against the property of the
city is $1,000 more than was asked for
by the board last July. There is an
increase in two funds and a decrease
In one.
Divided into funds the following are
the amounts the board asked to be
ievied: Contingent, $4,000; teachers,
$4,000; school house, $4,000. Last year
the board asked for the contingent,
$4,000: teachers, $4,000, and the
voters authorized $4,000 for the school
house fund at thes pring election.
More Money For Repairs.
Last spring the voters defeated a
levy proposed for the school house
fund. The beerd however, has author
ity under the law to levy a certain
amount for this fund without authority,
and it did so.
1t will be noticed that the levy for
the contingent fund will raise $1,000
more next year than this year. The
additional amount is needed by the
board to pay for fifteen fire escapes the
state ordered placed on buildings, and
for additions to the Arson and Rnsers
buildings. 1t is estimated these i'm
provements will cost $1,000 or $1,000
The increase of $1,000 in the teachers
fund is to meet the increasing pay roll

At the Casino,

Western films are always popular.
and a western film with real western
settings. and a story thai differs from
the ordinary is especially pleasing. Such
a picture is The Aryan," with William
s. Hart in the title role. shown at the
Casino Sunday night. Hart takes the
part Of a rugged westerner who has
turned against women as the result Of
being f1eeced out Of his fortune by a
dance hall girl. He vows revenge on
women in general. and later becomes
the ruler Of bunch Of renegades in a
rough mining camp. Into this camp
comes Mary Jane. a gentle girl, who
trusts Steve Denton. and awakens in
him the code of his race. the .Aryans.
that of guarding their own people. The
remainder Of the camp population con-
sists mostly of red and brown people,
Steve becomes enchanted with Mary
Jane. and turns from his evil life, rid
ing across the desert alone. with only
the memory of the girls friendship to
guide him Alright.
Mr. Harris characterization of Steve
Denton is one which brings the char
aCter clearly into the minds of the au
dience. Bessie Love is excellent as the
girl.

By Rev. H, T. Stevenson.

Paurs second epistle to the Corinthians
followed the first letter by about six
months 1t was written evidently to set
himself right with those who had mis-
understood him because Of their misin-
depreciation Of his ministry and also to
promote the collection for relief OF the
Christians in Judea and to prepare for his
coming visit to the Corinthian church.
The section covering the raising OF "the
Palestine relief fund" extends over two
chapters. It reveals the tactfulness of
Paul In raising an offering for the poor
members of the church at Jerusalem. and
also the practical. systematic methods he
employed in his two-year program Of col
lections. not only for securing the neces-
sary funds. but also to train the church
members in the grace Of giving.
One of the features of the jerusalem
church that proved the reality of their
religious life was the adoption by them
of the community of goods as a part OF
their church life. Many of those who had
accepted Jesus as their Messiah were not
only accommodated from sharing in the
religious rites of the nation. but also
were exiled from their homes and families,
which brought upon the young organiza-
ton severe strain OF their, spirituality
and faith. The thousands who accepted
Christ at the feasts and remained in
Jerusalem enlarged the number Of those
who became DEFENDANTS upon the charity
of their brethren. The taking up Of this
collection in the gentle congregations for
the benefit of the Jewish disciples would
have tendency to emphasize their unity
in the faith and remove the elements OF
Jerusalem church that had developed into
almost irreconcilable factions.

the only tainted money IL that which
is forced and given uncheerfully for

Another question. which will never be
settled satisfactorily to some people,
was where will the money come from
to meet the apostles expectation. There
was without doubt many who claimed
that they could not spare 1t. His ref

some of the wealthy and less generous
Corinthians wonder where and how
their church could do as well In pro-
portion to their wealth. Paul points
out that God is the master Of the
worlds resources and He can and will
bless the literally disposed, enriching
them by His gifts and through His
power increasing both their spiritual
and worldly possessions.
Every man needs to give more than
he needs to receive. The cold heart
can be warmed up by giving. and every
