"Owing to the In.ircaning feebleness of part of the old soldiers necessitat ing more and better attention, together with the higher cost of food, it has been a great struggle on the part , of the management to care for these bid heroes in the manner that they should be cared for,.and fulfilling the object wh'ch inspired the-creation of the in firmary." -jjy misrepresentation and in terror- j ence from outside parties the generali assembly was induced, at last ses sion, to Out down the appropriation from $20,000 to $15,000 while there has been a steady Increase of appli cants tor' admission to the Home, not withstanding the misepresentatlons apainst the Home, and there are a greater number of inmates at the present time than ever 'before, thus j ncvcsaitttLiuB ui?>' yrtiCitCc uf ilio strictest economy and the greatest judgment, in purchasing supplies.

A noisy church is not necessaily a irogredstve church. A friend of mine invented a rotary engine and invited me to his first demonstration. The demonstration was in the boiler-room of 3 -Treat cotton mill. He connected ils engine with the boiler and turned on the steam. Soon, the engine was flying and dense clouds of steam boiling from every direction, l found a convenient place behind a large steel column where I could the more safely congratulate my friend on his ?remendous success, when I saw him advar.ee through the cloud of steam rnd with the friction of his lead pen cil brought to stop his greatinvention. He must have a valve he said to keep his steam from, escaping when he turned it on. **rhls engine would not lo to turn the great wheels of sisu .'acture and could make no contribu tion to the world's commerce. The time has come when ma'rd ac? ttvity or the hissing of escaping steam cannot be accepted of God In lieu of a proper adjustment of the dynamics of Grace and ot newer to the great social .order for which' the church has responsibility: Good Alone Is Not Enough.
