''Taxes, Who Shall Pay ThemW was
the subject introduced to the Mems Fo-
rum last Sunday by Mr.. Harold S. Webb,
who gave very suggestive and profitable
address. Among the many things sug-
gested was the taxing OF luxurles, to-
bacco, bachelors, childless married wom-
en-, etc. 1t was quite evident that the
worshippers at the shrine of "My Lady
Nicotine" were in no way disposed to
accept such a proposal without protest.
AS for the bachelors, If they said nothing
against the proposition, it is reasonable to
suppose they did some hard thinking. AS
Tor the last named proposal, it would
have certainly been interesting to have
heard what the unborn babies who ''trail-
ing clouds OF glory come from God
who is our home" and cannot find hu-
man home to welcome them, would have
said about those who prefer to lavish af-
lection on pet poodle dog rather than
little child. A warm invitation is ex-
tended to the men of the city to attend
the forum. Speaker for next Sunday
Kew. A. c. Elliott, subject, "The Church
and Democracy"
The seventh picture-t talk in the "Better
America" series will be given in the
church next Sunday evening, subject,
what Our Fathers Paid for the Liber-
ties of the Republic" This will be one
OF the best in the series and should be
heard by everyone in Belfast. 1t brings
before us some of the outstanding men of
history and deals with events of vast
historical Importance from the days of
ancient Greece to the great World War
Let all those who appreciate the liberties
we enjoy and wish to preserve these lib
critics for our children and the generations
yet to be, plan to hear this splendid talk,
