Judge Willard I. Alling Of Kensing- ton appeared before the committee of the kensington fire district at its meeting last night and asked for a rebate on the taxes of certain proper ties in kensington, which are not reached by the pipe lines. The judge had not made out an itemized list of these properties and he was asked to forward 10 the committee this list. Ac- ton will be taken in the future.
 No action was taken on the case of inc city of New Britain, which also appealed for rebate on taxes of the sewer beds in Kenslngton. The letter sent 10 the committee was referrd Lack 10 the city, as no representative Of the city was present. The com- mittee asked for information concern ing the desired rebate. It was said that this was the first letter received from New Britain relatives 10 the re- hate and it was thought that the old committee had received letters con- corning the case.
 No action was taken regarding the fixing Of the date for the annual meeting. This was laid over until the next regular meeting Of the second Monday in June. The only other busi- ness transacted last night ras the or- dering of bills paid.

OLD-TIlNE RELIGION

lands. 1t would be as unsafe as it would be
unWise to treat the wounded peoples over
seas as the priest and the Levite treated the
unfortunate man who had fallen among
thieves on the Jericho road 1t is both dan
gerous and disgraceful for us to avert our
eyes from distressed Europe, and pass by on
the other side in heartless indifference.
But we shall not be able to do our duty
by other nations If we fail to preserve our
own national characteristics whereby we are
enabled to aid and bless them
1t is well, therefore, that we now have
laws restricting immigration. They are not
the expression of narrow and selfish policy
They are safeguards to the life and progress
of our nation. For conditions to have con-
unued as they have been for many years past
would have been disastrous to our country
as we'll as hurtful to other lands
Since the close Of the World war many
millions Of people have desired to emigrate
to the United States, and, but for our laws
restricting imm grafton, they would have
poured into cur country like a submergn g
tidal wave
That would not have been good for the
prosperity of Europe or the peace of Amer
lea.
Already there are in our country quite
enough Of discOrdant elements. There are
class collisions in commerce and industry
and dangerous blocs in politics.
We need no more bocs, whether indus
trial or political. Least of all we do not
need foreign blocs composed of immigrants
from different lands, and contending with
each other and with all the rest of the people
Government by blocs means the tyranny of
an organized minority over the unorganized
majority. A tyrannicai monarchy is no more
oppression than that
We need time to apply wholesome and ele-
waiting influences to the foreign elements al
ready among US, to the end that the popua-
ton OF the country may become more homo
geneous and more harmonious.
The best solvent for this problem is wide
spread revival of religion throughout the
country, purifying and pacifying all classes
from ocean to ocean. Such visitation of
grace would be Unreasonable blessing to
America, and its saving influence would pass
over the seas and bless many other nations
The greatest foreign mission work the
American churches can do today is that
which is at their doors. God has seen to them
many millions of unsaved men and women
and children, who wait for their healing and
helpful ministrations of evangelical Christi
anlty, dispensed in the tenderest spirit of
brotherly kindness.
Let them enter with redoubled efforts this
great and effectuaI door of opportunity and
make the most of it.
There is little room in the United States
just now for any great increase in the num-
Der of foreigners, and there is no place at all
for an American who will not treat with
justice and kindness the foreigners already
among us.
God bless our beloved country and lift
upon it the light of His countenance and give
it peace!
