NOT MONEY ALONE. In a report of the laymen's missionary banquet at Youngstown It is said: interesting addresses were made by men prominent in the missionary movement. They brought out the fact that if every person who is now contributing anything to foreign missions "Were to quadruple their donations the entire world would be evangelized within this generation." This doubtless means better than it sounds. People who give time and money to carry out the divine command, "Go ye into all the world and preach the Gospel, etc." will receive a blessing but given amount of money will not have a given result. Thf laymen's missionary movement is a grand thing but there is danger ot giving too much honor to the dollar.

the gold in the world will avnii nothing it' the Holy Spirit docs not. co-operate. There will be two Charles Stewarts running for ollice next primary election.

I propose frame a bill and have it introduced. making it justifiable homicide to kill an editor or publisher on sight, who without cause or justifications, dt-' fames the character of any So spoke Chief Justice Sweeney, of the supreme court ol Nevada, during a session of the board of pardons at. Carson City. Nevada. Krlday.

An editor who does this a contemptible cur without doubt hut no more of aiL enemy to society than a testy, scolding judge anil die is full of them. Even school children know that to make any crime a legal reason for justifiable homicide would mean anarchy; jf a proposition as ridiculous as it's wic); ed. It is just such yelps as this from men supposed to be judicial, honest and levelheaded ami stand for calm and fair interpretation of the laws, that is lowering the dignity of the bench in the' eyes of the people, and in. many cases bringing it into disre reproach A Bondholder in Heaven." The, Rev. Lundy Harris of Nash, died poor in this world's only in his purse, $136 in bank, a few books and a cottin.

Ac- to the inventory (iled by his widow The major part of his estate was invested in heavenly securities. Ho invested every year not less than $1 200 charity, so secretly, so inoffensively and so honestly that he was nevei suspected ol being a phii anthropist and never praised for Ins generosity. He pensioned an old outcast woman in Barren county and an old soldier in Nashville, lie sonT two little negro boys to school and 'supported for three years a family 'of Sve who could not support them selves. He contributed anonymously to charity in Nashville; every old maid interested in a "benevolent object? Tewlved his aid; every child he knew exacted and ived penny tolls from hib tenderness. He supported the Heart of every man who confided in him with tncouragemen 1 affection.

He literally did forgive- his enemies, and he was ever recognized as one of the largest bondholders in heaven. No doubt there is more of this Kind Of investment than is commonly sup- posed. Millionaires buy heavenly securities in blocks, but the great holdings -are anipng the plain people who acquire them in odd lots as did Mr. Harris do good by stealth and disclaim their philanthropy, taking much pleasure in swearing off their securities in heaven as others dn their personal taxes Their estates do jnot bulk large in executors' scheduled but they uernc a satisfaction from their investmeTntb not always shared by other Dondholders.

This amount is tne total figures of the estimates of end) of the several departments of the city government and in it is includo'l the sum of $5,000 to apply on sewage disposal plant which the city intends to build in the near future. In comparison with Greenville, Meadville with a population twice as large spends approximately three times as much as Greenville to run the city.
