Congregational Church Notes.

The c E. service on Sunday even
ing will be under the direction of
the high school boys, who are men,
bers of the society, and Mr.. Hamil-
ton. Subject, Cultivation of High
Ideals" All members of the society
are urged to be present. The society
has now in sight enough money to buy
the picture it has been planning to
buy for the chapel, and the committee
to select the picture will be chosen
Sunday evening. Now that this goal
is in sight, what is the next thing
that the society wants to tackle? Let
the members get their ideas together.
Browningon and Orleans have both
gone over the top in their recent can
vass for the Congregational World
Movement. Recent criticisms of the
movement have been a little puzzl-
ing for some who have not taken the
trouble to inform themselves con-
corning the movement, but on the
whole the effect of such criticism
seems to have made the work easier
in this neck o. the woods.

cases. One in which the prisoner
is in such physical condition that
he is absolutely unfit for manual
labor on the State farm, is near the
point of death. or is in that condi-
ton that for humanity's sake he
should have an opportunity to get
proper medical treatment, and the
second is where the judge. district

even these matters are left to the

The most rabid critics seem to

that no Democratic convention

me that he was in his proper ele-

negro. Both of these unfortunates
were in the last stages of tuber-
culosis. Why not criticise me for
this also.
Section 124 of the Constitution
reads as follows: In all criminal
and penal cases. excepting those of
treason and impeachment, the Gov
ernor shall have the power to grant
reprieves and pardons. to remit
fines and in cases of forfitures. to
stay the collection until the end of
the next session of the Legislature,
and by and with the consent of the
Senate to remit foritures, etc. "
This shows the Governor has ample
power over such matters but these
critics would have you believe the
Governor had no power whatsoever
and was acting solely without
authority. Respectfully submitted.
