Daily Whig. Franchise Grabbers Abroad. Chatham is 'reported to be suffering from the effects of a foolish act on the part of the city council. The World gives the facts, and from its article the Whig gleans the story. Last fall a sompany undertook to deliver natural gas in' the city at 20c. per thousand feet to. private consumers and 15. per thousand feet to manufacturers. The company broke its with the people. One experience of the kind should have been sufficient. A new deal followed. The company with the artificial gas company to sell its product, and this arrangement had the sanction of the agreement contracted council under a perpetual charter. Right here one i= struck with' amaze- ment. Perpetual charters were the supreme follies of councils years ago, before it became apparent that they were perpetual iniquities, Some of the bad of former days have been corrected with recent legislation, and by compromises the most expen- bargains sive, The worst feature of the Chatham case that before the council was badly fooled it was given the as- surance or pledge that the natural gas would be purified so that it could be used more freely. This pledge or contract is being violated. The people surely have rediess, and it should be sought, The World says the council hus passed a resolution opposing the application that has been made to the Ottawa government for a charter which will leealize the franchise grab and al that it implies. The government at Ottawa will do well ta look into all the facts of the case.

Have you read the Hossack letter to Premier Whitaey ? "It is a remarkable episile, bristling with thoughts that are remarkable for their vigour and directness. Rev, Mr. Hossack is the clergyman who fulminated so strongly against the Ross government on the temperance question, He called him- self a liberal, who, disappointed be- cause the government would not go so far as he expected, assailed it furious- ly. His letters became great campaign ammunition for the conservatives, Mr. Hossack now reminds Mr. W ney of the fact that in the fast ral election he said sometning 15 the edvantage of it the conservativa party The 'premier had been a long time be- fore the people" and "had been chosen for office."

Montreal Star, Ihe introduction of an old age pen- sion stheme in the House of Commons by an Eastern Ontario member is one which will attract the attention of a large class of people. Canada is not a pioneer in this class of so-called paternal legislation. Mr. Chamber- lain, in England, has--or had--well de- fined views for the working out of such a measure, and in several European countries the principle has been ad- justed under a variety of detail in methods. So long ago as fifteen years, Mr. Chapleau (the late Sir Adolphe), gave tho question a large measure of thought. y inl however, he was ahead of the S'mes--or of the views of his colleagues-ond while his plan met compatriots in Quebee, it did not be- come crystalized in the statutes of the dominion, Mouldy Butter To Japan.

FEBRUARY 18. THE CHARITY SERMON. Preached in St. Mary's By Rev. Fr. Callaghan, Montredl. In St. Mary's cathedral last even- ing, vespers were sung, Rev. Father Mea officiating. The archbishop pre sided. The preacher was Rev, D. Cal- laghan, of St. Patrick's church, Mont- 'real, who delivered the annual charity sermon. On opening the speaker said he felt it a duty and a pleasure to ac- cept the invitation of the archbishop to address them on a subject which should enlist their sympathy in the cause of the poor. It was a ereat pri- vilege to aid in the work of charity. By doing so they were following in the footsteps of Jesus. They had also the example of his holiness Pope Pius, in his efforts to win the world back to Jesus. His fearless championship of the church and the poor of France, was well known, If they wanted to walk in the footsteps of Jesus, they must understand the needs of the poor as God's loved ones. It was an obligation on them to help the poor. Before the coming of Christ the poor were in the way. The rich thought of nothing but 'to put the poor out of their way. Jesus was poor. They would find no room for Him, so He was born in a stable, and had to suf- fer the extremes of poverty, so poor that they had to beg a grave for Him. Study the life of Jesus and they would find that He , had not to lay His head, Jesus loved the poor. There were many poor peo- ple in this city and the people were obliged to aid them in their distress. They were all brothers, created by the same God. In the church of God they were all one; there was no caste among them, and they were obliged to assist, The lives of Dives and Lafirus and the Good Samaritan were touched up- on and illustrated. The pope in one of his letters laid down the obliration of helping the poor. "T was hungry and vou gave me to eat. I was thirs- ty and you gave me drink. I was nak- ed and you clothed me, ete." Jesus Christ said, "Whatsoever ye do for one of these ye do it to Me." Charity covered a multitude of sins. They must vive quietly and make no display of their generosity. Béfore giving charity they should make an investigation and find the wants of the deserving poor. There was nothing supernatural in church organizations in dispensing charity. They must not he hard with tha poor, but should treat them kind- ly. Ii they ~ave charity for God's sake He would reward them. The poor should be encouraged to look up to Jesus. The wealth that God gave them was only as a stewardship for Him. Whatever they did for the poor they did it for Him, and Jesus would bless them abundantly. . The Benediction of the Holy Sacra- ment was imparted, durine which the "0 Salutaris" (Velvil) as a duet, was rendered by Miss Tda Shaw and Miss Mary Chisholm, in a very pleasing manner, The collection realized about $200.

Arlington, Mass., Advocate. Monday evening, February 4th, in the vestry of the First Parish church, a reception was 'tendered to Rev.

Mr. Gill responded with deep feeling. Refreshments of ice cream, cake, cof- fee and lemonade were served from ta- bles spread in the = ladies' parlor.
