At a meeting held two weeks ago, @ batch of tenders were recefv- ed and given to Engineer Dick to tabulate. The awarding of tenders for supplies is a big item with the works committee. It Is estimated that close on to $50,000 is expended. Tenders were awarded as follows: Supply of rand, R. J. McClelland; lumber, 8. Anglin & Co.; cement, W. B. Dalton & Sons; road oll, Texas Company, New York; asphalt, Im- perial Oil Company; castings, Thou- mas Bishop; hardware, W. H. Cock- burn & Co.; sewer pipe, Clap Pro- ducts Agency. The contract for street watering was awarded to J. Lemmon. W. Reid asked for permission to install a gasoline pump at 823 Mont- real street, opposite the Canadian National Railway station. On motion of Ald. Godwin, | application" was granted, subject [the approval of the city engineer. | George J. C. Hanson asked .for | permission to erect a verandah at his home at the corner of Bagot and Corrigan streets, said verandah to enchoach one foot on city property. There are other verandahs which have been erected under similar con- ditions ~and the board agreed, on motion of Ald. Johnston, to grant the necessary permission, subject to the approval of the city engineer. Ald. Godwin drew the attention of the board to a very bad walk on North street, from Rideau street to the C.P.R. round house. i The city engineer stated that this section would bu provided with a cement walk next summer, provided the necessary by-law was passed by the council. He said that consider- able money had been expended on repairs to this piece of walk and that he had decided on a new walk. The chairman, Ald. Peters, pre- sided at the meeting. and the other members present were Ald. Joyee, AM. Godwin, Ald. J. B. Holder, Ald- Johnston and Ald. Kidd the to tn SAID ON THE SIDE Kingston post office is doing big business, according to the annual report. Kingstonians must be good letter writers. J-- Man in Ireland, aged 100 years, jumped over a fence and threatened his neighbor with a black thorn. Owing to his "tender" years, the magistrate dismissed the charge lodged against him. If Mayor Angrove and his col- leagues in the city council succeed In: keeping the tax rate as low as last year, they will be able to give the fruit growers some pointers on how to use the pruning knife. They claim tLat a hole has been found in the Atlantic. Must be some truth in that old song the sju- dents sing, "There's a Hole In, the Bottom of the Sea." Fire and light cémmittee: has plan for complete motorization of the local fire department this sum- mer. The old grey mare is certain- ly not what she used to be. Oshawa is now "The Baby City," having been taken into the fold this week. Kingston extends com- gratulations. We would suggest that the new baby be named "The Automobile City." @ . Why do people applaud at a 'movie' show ? Do they really expect an encore ? A great doctor has just announced that too much washing of the skin is dangerous. All the "kids" will agree on this point.

To Accommodate the Crowds Attending the Christian Alliance Services. » 3 Hundreds were turned away on! Wednesday evening from the meet- | ing of the Christian and Missionary | Alliance in Bethel church, while the | vestry and halls were crowded to | capacity with those who desired to hear. The Alliance Colored Quintette are giving to the people the message of | the gospel in song, and last evening ' sang, "What Did He Do?" "My Soul | Is A Witness For God." "The Prea- cher on the Fence," "The Hallelu- jah Side," and *"Elijah's God Still Lives Today." Miss Nellie Jones, returned mis- slonary from China, was the first speaker and told of her work in that country. "China is called the land ! of idols because of the number of | different idols that they worship, | and I have seen one temple that con- | tained as many as 500 idols. To these they bow down to and worship, expecting their god of thunder to give them ruin, and their god of war to give them peace. One old lady walked for three years the distance of fifteen miles to pray her god that he might heal her daughter who was. sick. The Chinese will never accuse their-god of not answering prayer, but always say that the fault is in them and not in the god. That {is more than some Christlans do, who are only too ready to blame God for anythingsthat may go wrong. Chin- | ese never plant grain without first praying to their god to favor their seed. Once after a long draught a proclamation was made that the Christians would pray to their God on a certain day for rain. The Christians gathered and prayed and that night it rained and the next day it came down in torrents, so that many came to the missionaries to en- quire about the God of heaven who was able to send rain and save the crops.e And when they came they were told that He was not only able ! to save crops but was also able to | save them." | Rey. Oswald J. Smith was the next speaker, and gave his third dis- | coerse on "Eternal Life." 'There | are many ways that men and women are trying to obtain eternal life, and I want to tell some of them," he sald, "Christian religion will not save us, for those in the heathen lands have all forms of religion and vet are unsaved. Unless our reli- glon takes in Jesus Christ we cannot have eternal life. Church member- ship will not save for you can be- long to all the churches in the land and still be unsaved. You may join a church, but you cannot join The Church, the invisible family of Christ; You have to be born into it. It is by this second birth that you obtain eternal life. Ordinances such as the Lord's Supper and baptism will not save, ag they are but sym- bols of a belief, and unless we be- | lieve and accept Christ we | are lost. Keeping the command- ments will not save as they are all negative, They say 'Thou shalt not' but it is the things that we do that keep us away from God and eternal life. Saying prayers and Bible read- ing will not save, because even the Pharisees did this, yet they were sin- ners. You may go to the Bible, but | what you muse do to obtain eternal | life is go to the Christ of the Bible. Philanthropy will not save, for we cannot buy our way into heaven. You may give away a million dollars to the needy but it will not get you into heaven, although it may attain for mercy. That old saying 'I'm doing the best I can' will not save, for if we fail in doing our best in one instance the ground is cut from in under our feet and we are lost. Salvation can only be obtained through Jesus CHlrist and the sec- ond birth." Sarting on Thursday evening the | services will be held in Cooke's church, as a larger building is need- ed tochold crowds who desire to at- tend.
