Each 01 the three methods proposed good-rOads Pr large element of fairness in it. the three is wholly without inequit- able features ; and yet it seems that if good streets are. to be made one opted. The methods are : Let each street pay for its own repairs. . Add the cost of all repairs _to the rate for the year lll which they are made. Raise a large sum by the sale of debentures and repair Selectt’d streets. It will be seen that the last two methods coincide to the extent that the cost of repairing whatever Streets are selected will be paid by the whole town. whereas if the first method is adopted the streets repaired will bean the whole cost of those repairs. Of course in the long run this method would result similarly to the others for those who pay to repair the streets on which they live will help to repair other streets. To de- cide which of these plans is the most equitable is a nice problem for the long evenings now approaching. If each street pays for its own reâ€" pairs, those who live on streets that. require little or cheap repairs will get off more lightly than those who live on the streets that will cost more to build. At first glance that looks reasonable ; for is that not the basis upon which all taxes are levied? Those who live in parts of the town which are most Valuable, pay the most taxes. On the other hand, when it is considered that all have equal access to all the streets does it not seem fair that all should cons tribute in the Same proportiOn to the cost of building them ? That is, the whole cost of cheap and dear streets alike should be spread over the whole town. If the second plan is adopted that will be accomplished for then the cost of repairing any street will be added to the general taxation for the year in which the repairs are made. Then all will pay. and the whole citizen- ship will be taxed generally for the streets of the town of which they are citizens. But in that case. only :1 short strip could be made in any one year by um’ reasonableflor possible addition to the rate. There it would, take a long time to get many streets done and most of the people would be paying for roads built in parts of the town remote from them, and complete their span of life before any macadam appeared in front of their doors. Moreover, the streets built under that plan would be fully paid for by the present property-holders who Would thus make a rather too- generous donation to posterity. This last objection would be larger overcome by adopting the plan of raising money by debentures payable during a, term of years ; and the longer that term. the more fully would the. objection be met. It can of course be urged against this meth- od, as it can against any that re- quires the whole town to contribute proportionately, that while the peoâ€" ple living on all the streets pay, only some of the streets can be built. That objection din be most fully met by issuing bonds for a. large rather than for a small sum of money. The larger the sum raisedjhe more streets will be built and the number of those who pay and get no work done, cor- respondingly reduced. So then it seems that a. large sum spread over along term will best meet the case. Likely the more the people whose streets are named ‘for improvement, the better .the‘ chance has the bylaw of carrying. Per- haps $60,000 to be repaid in 40 years would not burden the taxpayâ€" er of today any more than $30,000 payable in 20 years : and it would have the quite important advantage that most of the people who were paying to have roads built would get roads built and the whole body of citizens enjoy the enormous advan- #839 0‘ song about on decent thoroughfares while they are able to go about at all.

On Monday night a very in meeting of the Young People's Soci- ety was held. -â€"The Powles’ Corners correspon- dent of the Fenelon Falls Gazette says: There is to be a. fowl supper here about the middle of November. , The correct date will be given next week.

Such a mean way of raising money for the building up of God’s kingdom on earth is not. pleasing nd acceptable to Him. ‘ - QUEEN-ST METHODIST --A large congregation listened to Rev. A. J. H. Strike preach last Sundav n'ght at Queen-st. . A con- tributed outline of the evening ser- mon is as follows : The text both in morning and eV- cning Was Genesis 22 : 16 and '17. “Because thou hast done this thing. blessing I will bless thee." _ Abraham had been half-hearted in the service of God. He lacked faith, a testing hour came. God oftenal- lows his people to get into a terrible struggle and after they are tested It means more loyalty to God and. a fuller consecration to his servace. Examples Jacob, Joseph, Daniel. DaVid. John the Baptist. Peter. Paul for John it was desolate Patroos, for Christ the cross. Anything less than the best we have. will not bring the rich blessing of God. ” . Abraham was ordered to offer his only child. It is discipline God’s children require. God did not want the sacrifice of Isaac : he wanted the whole heart and soul of Abraham. It is when we have given up every- thing that God blesses us most. He blessed Abraham with prosperity of. ter he had been tested. So he did Job. Abraham Was signally blast with spiritual knowledgeâ€"from Mt. Moriah he saw Calvary’s hill.- Sa- crifice is of the essence of the gospel. He saw that higher mount upon which the Son of Man was crucified. God kept his promim and made of Abraham’s posterity a great nation. Christ came from it. God requires tWO things at our hands : 1. To con- quer the world. that is to civilize it, and 2, To ovemome all moral evil. that is to Christianize the world. The half-hearted lukewarm man or Woman is a great detriment to God’s cause. God requires a whole-heart- ed service ......... Next Sunday morning the quarterly service will begin at 10.30. After the loveâ€"feast the so. eminent of the Lord's Supper will be administered. In the evening the pastor will fire a temperance ad- dress. Special music will bc pro- vided. CAMBRIDGE-ST METHODIBT â€"â€"Anniversary services were held at the Cambridgeâ€"st. Methodist church on Sunday. Rev. Dr. J. V. Smith. formerly pastor of the fletropolitan church, Toronto, but now of Carlton- st. church, Was the preacher. At night Dr. Smith’s text was “Arise and shine, for thy light is come. ’ Is. 60: 1. Isaiah was des- cribed as “a prince amid a generation of princcS', the prophet of the forâ€" Ward look, before whose eyes was spread the enchanted landscape of a regenerated earth." There Were peo- ple who always talked of the good days of old. Milton sang : ‘ “For if such raptured song. Entrance our spirits long, Time will run back. And fetch the age of gold.” Now men tell of the days Pericles in Athens, Augustus in Rome, and Elizabeth in England. There is no need, said the preacher, -to run back to fetch the age of gold. There new or was a more golden age than the present. There has broken around us the dawn of a diviner era than the world has ever known before. God rules the world. If we had been flung into the seething sea of irresponsible forces life would, not be worth living. Some bxbod on the increase oi evil over good. and see no hope till Christ himself shall come with some power that his gospel does not possess. By such my spirit is stirred with indignation. Viewed in the light of the divine plan, evil is only temporary and accidental-.- It is the brief discord that leads up to and will enhance the final great har- mony of the universe. The angels knew sin would enter the world, yet they sang together at the world’s creation. They sang because they knew, also, that the. world would be redeemed from s‘n and all would come right at last. That is the pro- per intexpretation of the sin and sor- row of the world. The swelling tides of God's grace will yet. bear this old world into the haven of harmony and peace. The outlook is good. shine for thy light is come. words are to the church of to-day. “T‘hy light is come": that is the light of great opportunity has come. "The church has a chance to shine in proclaiming the brotherhood of man. All the great questions of land, labor, liquor and the Sabbath are confronting the church. New spheres are‘being opened up by the agitation of the times. There has come a. new era for ethics as well as for theology. The church is having her social mission forced upon her. The time has come when the teach- ing of the New Testament must be applied to the burning questions of to-day. Men are more aWaJ‘e of mch other's presence and more perplexed by it. than ever before. They are at a. loss to know what to do with each other. The solution of these questions cannot be found apart from the gospel. The spiritual is deeper than monomics ; character is more a thing of soul than surroundings; but yet the physical conditions of men have a tremendous effect upon their destiny. God is launching economic missions to men. He has his her- alds in Marks.

Every day men go away from church feeling that the earth beneath their feet has been loosened up by what they have heard. If the pulpit blown: hot and cold it is no wonder if men drift from the true gospel. True the stream of theology is now running over a bed of broken rocks. There is turbu- lence in the discussion of religious thought but the church still thinks more of Christ than all his critics. An oratorio thrills one as an opera does not. for its theme appeals to the hearts of men in a way that no mere musical acrobatics can do. “He was wounded for our transgressions" casts a subtle and profound spell over the audienCe that. no music or the clovcrcst secular theme can pro- duce. The world wants and must have the true gospel. Fourthly : The church must shine in world-wide evangelism. A divine enthusiasm is needed. not niggardly piety and emotional religion that liVes three fourths of the time in the clouds. We need men who as R. L. Stevenson said “have brains enough to make fools of themselves occas- ionally." Anything is better than deadly propriety. Some people new er go astray because they never go at all ; the non-church-goers. are not such a. problem, as the non-going church. The world will yet all hear the gospel. The lamps of prophecy are shining with undimmed splendor aWay down the vista of the future. We shall go to our graves. but go as those who hear the smiting of vic- torious shields. The pastor Rev- G. W. 1-1an preached in Carlton-ct. church To- ronto at night.
