The byâ€"laws all read, the financial statement presented, the resolutions all adopted, the. books closed, alder- men fell to congratulatory remarks upon His Worship, and at his in- 'vitati'on regaled' themselves in the dining room of the Royal hotel.

These were the interesting words} with which Mayor Sootheran closed his remarks in reply to the compli-fi mentary addresses of his colleagues before voting him the uSual $100 gratuity. “And I hope” added His Worship, “That we shall all be back again next year.” Thus did the chief magistrate declare his apostle- ship of the Larger Hope. For-their luminous and voluminous records of the 5868ions the reporters were voted $15 * each,-â€"an increase of $5, doubtless in consideration of" “the ‘increased cost of living etc..’ fl‘he 'drooping spirits of these faithful and modest individuals were visibly cheered thereby, and it is hoped that their creditors will not take any hasty advantage of their good for- tune.

Anâ€" other similar request of Mr. McDon- ald regarding- some property of his in the south ward the taxes on which 1had been charged against, the land, while tenants with goods occupied the houses, Was laid over. The Light, Heat Power Comp- any asked for an extension of time after Dec. 20th, in which to get the street. lights going. Manager Rees- or was present and explained that the non-arrival of apparatus that had been shipped from Schenectady, N.Y., compelled the company to make the request. An extension of 30 days was granted. “11' they LINDSAY, THURSDAY. DECEMBER 24th 1903.

Likely the members of next years's body will think the mayor's wish was executed thorough- ly enough, when they come to look into the exchequer. CONG RATU LATORY Then did 'Ald. Cinnamon rise and move that a gratuity of $100 be votâ€"; ed the mayor, and went on to say: “I take great pleasure in making‘this moti'on. My relations with his wor4 ship during the year have been a source of pleasure and education. I cannot speak too highly of the able ‘and courteous way in which he has presided over the del'i'lierations of the council during the year. A“ ‘r‘ UVUIL‘... “u. --.B ._V In seconding the motion, Ald.

He-hppreciated the may- or’s ability to:. presidep and his promptness in- attending council ‘meetings either on the street. in the ‘council chamber or at Ottawa. (Laughter). Ald. Robinson said he had known the mayor longer than had any oth- er; alderman. They had been boys together. "He could :not speak too h" ly of the mayor’s ability and c rtesy in presiding. He had been a‘credit to'thc council. Ald. Maun- dei- who Was in the chair for the time being, re-echoed the sentiments of his colleagues, as he put the mo- tion. IIIUI Mayor Soot heran in reply thanked the aldei-men for their land remarks. They had said many things he did not deserve. He believed that aby- law fixing the mayor’s remuneratiom should be read at the first of the year. Whether it was to be $50 or a larger sum, it was bett- er that the maym' should know its amount so that he could gauge his disbursements rising out of his p0. sitionâ€"and they were necessarily considerable. He would be in the {field again opposition or no opposi- tion and hoped they would all sit together again next year. He trash ed that each of his colleagues would in turn have a chance of receiving the mayor's gratuity. Upon ad- , journment his worship invited everyâ€" .body down to the Royal, where a ! very pleasant hour was spent. .____.-â€"‘ in England; and 1826 the young couple came across the Atlantic and settled in lower Canada.

Mr. Wallace believed the plague in India would tend to the spread of the gospel, because it gave the missionaries a chance to show self-daiial and ’do a service that would commend them to the natives. He spoke of the local church debt as hampering the work of the church. The man who promisedrxtas-xgive to religious projects as 3009095333103, out of debt. but who kept, pn, buying more land, was spoken d! as 'repre- senting a class : as was also the wo- man who would begin giving after she had. educated her children. People should begin to give now; the times were good. and men should keep an open account with God. There is a breadth of soul that can be cultivated only by giving That was what Christ aimed to develop in the rich young ruler whom He told to sell all that he had. The preacher would rather have two men give 50 cents each than one man give $1, because in the former case he had two interested in the cause instead of only one. On the‘ same principle each member of the family should be given some money rather than that the head (n the family should contribute the whole sum giVen from that house. Children . should be encouraged to earn rnoney to give to the church. Mr. Wallace ‘ said that he intended speaking 5 , minutes once a month before his ser- mon, on the needs of the mission field, so that his hearers might be induced to give toward their sup- . port.
