On Sunday the Grace Hill Church celebrated its harvest festival. The interior of the church was beautifully decorated with flowers, while the rostrum was covered with ocrn, fruit, and flowers. At the morning service, the sermon was preached by the Bey. J. Claw, Whiting who has latelytakes up his duties in the Lyrists, district.

He took as his text: Vas is the Ibread which the Lord bath given you to rea iufes (St John 4 8 the In the course of his remarks, he said Christ was sent to satisfy the cravings of that hungry world. The great want of Intinanity in that day was for something to satisfp. In spite of all that God had given men, they were still hungry. The speculations of philosophy, the fasoinsdella of art, the beauties of poetry, the charms of music, the discoveries of science, the victories of the battlefield, the aorta of literature, the fulness of the earth, the very glories of heaven, all times nothin men had, and They had they hod lived. They had still dreamed of life, but life for them was an unsatisfying existence.

Then Jesus Christ came, declaring that He was the bread of life. He aura, Bring your intellectual hunger, your moral longing, bring your dying selves, and I wiA give you life." When He referred to feeding the man He did not nean placing on table; He meant spiritual food. The best food was the Bible. God's Word. Their thoughts of Jesus and their communion with God needed constant repetition, and regularity.

They could not lay by a store to draw from at their leisure. An occasional prayer was valueless to them; they must have their stated seasons for prayer. Sunday would be wades; to them if they the whole week without Christ. low often they heard a man's pressing circumstances urged as the neglect of his spiritual duties, Some men said they were too busy to go to work or spare five m'nutes to read the Scriptures, but be always found that the most industrious man could always find time to visit oliurch. In the evening the services were continued, and the sermon was preached by by the Rev.

Trevellic Cape, who has re. cently come to In his discourse he pointed out the man who ordered that the wheat and tares should be cut together. and the tares sorted out from the wheat and It was the with life, at the present time. God did not want men who were not any good. They would not receive His reward unless they followed Him.

The choir, during the service, rendered the anthem, 'O. taste and see" in a magnificent manner. The collections were in aid of the Trust niacin. On Monday evening a meeting was held, when the Rev. Trevillic Cape gave a spirited address.

At the close the fruit and vegetables were sold and together with the proceeds of the collection. the takings were given to the Poor Fund. A NOI II Lit FLU)!) NEWCASTLE WORSE THAN FOLKESTONE. On Tuesday evening there was another heavy rainfall at Folkestone, Sandgate and Hythe, and it seemed as though there was going to be a flood similar to that of three weeks ago. Fortunately, however, the downpour was more intermittent and of shorter duration, but several cases of flooded basements are notified, not only in the lower part of Folke-, stone, but in the centre of the town.

I On Wednesday a considerable quantity of rain fell in the forenoon, and again the basements of several houses at the bottom of High Street and in Harbour' Street were filled with sewage, and the fire engine was requisitioned to pump it out. The special meeting of the General Purposes Committee was continued on Wednesday morning In Lonoon the rainfall was very heavy, and at Hastings 4-10th of an inch fell. while at Torquay there was three-onav- ten of an inch, and at Paignton, more than an inch. In North Britain the situation was affected by a new depression forming over Denmark. The rainfall at St.

Andrews amounted to six-tenths of an inch. At Newcastle-on-Tyne a heavy thunderstorm occurred during the night, accompanied by a torrential downpour. which flooded several of the lower parte of the city. In some of the streets tramcars and motor vehicles were held un by the deluge and many shops were flooded. WATER POLO.

DOVER v. FOLKESTONE. On Tuesday evening the Folkestone Swimming Club journeyed to Dover to meet the Dover Swimming Club in the Ashford and District semi final and water polo competition. A great dral of interest was taken in the competition, as both teem. were equal in points, and the whiners of the League have to meet Sittingbourne in the final.

Folkestone's team were Messrs. Stroud (goal). Sutton and Ovenden (backs), Spain (half-back), and Pureey, Smallfield and Martagh (forwards). After a most exciting game, in which Folkestone were the better side, the result was a draw of two all. Folkestone's goals were obtained by Pureey and Ovenden.

As no definite decision was arrived at, a further meeting will hays to take place between the teams in a neutral swimming bath. In the team race for the cup Folkestone were a pant ahead of their rivals, and their representatives, Messrs. Spain, Smallfield, Pureey and Murtagh, were just too speedy for the home team, who were rather easily defeated. Thus Folkestone were the winners of the Eastern section.

The action of the Worthing Town Connoil in purchasing en estate for the stun of 20,000 to be used as pities of public recreation is cited as en instance of corporate wisdom and an example for other for instance. But people who write about it do not know the facts. The estate hag upon it a residence about a hundred years old, and on the opposite side of the main road there is a very large park, which the Town Council has long had its eyes upon. The residence used to belong to the late Sir Frederick Row, who in the mid nineteenth century was a Bow Street ifsgiatrate.

Subsequently it (mine into the hands of Sir Robert Loder. and it will be remembered that the late King Edward used to motor from Brighton and spend a day with Sir Robert occasionally. The point which would strike an outside person would be that the estate is quite out of the district where visitors' congregate, and at the eastern end of the about two miles from the new railway station. I am inclined to doubt whether the town will get the scheme through. The rates tre already very I high.

According to the remarks of the Mayor of Folkestone at the formal opening of the new Harvey Grammar School, there is a new world opening in South America for youths and young men who have a know ledge of Spanish. I believe it is a very easy language to learn, and is phonetic- 1 in fact it was at one time suggested as a universal language instead of which is largely founded on Spanish words. Locally we hale not beard much of Esperanto lately, but in other parts and in other countries it is being moth need, and in time to come may be really the universal tongue for business pis. I am afraid there is a vod deal of trouble ahead in the labour world, the workers in various trades showing much discontent with their present hours of work and pay In the railway business we seem to be sitting on a sort of volcano, which at any moment may belch forth. The mystery is that it is largely among unskilled labourers that the trouble is greatest.

But then in a country such as England is a mart rather an a of course must be more and more the case. It is stated that the case of the Redhill nalman who was disrated tor non compliance with regulations is to be dealt with by the executive of the National Union of Railwaymen. Wilkie Collins's story of the Moonstone will be quite by that of the Mayer pearl necklace. Aa the various chapters open in the daily press, it becomes more perplexing and astounding. It is, however, quite evident that there were so many concerned in the robbery that as soon as one, tempted by the large' reward, put the detectives on the clue, there was a general stampede.

The scheme was well laid, although it could hardly have taken long in Its preparation. But the latest phase, the alleged finding of the necklace almost intact in the gutter, is the strangest of all, and can only be accounted for by the fact that the custodian feared that he was in danger, and literally "cast the pearls before the swine." We may be sure that the whole story will soon be ferreted the London papers are already vieiug with each other to get the exclusive right to publish it. The story of the pearls being "found in the gutter" is rather doubtful. There appears to be another mystery there. With quite a moderate fall of rain on Tuesday evening and again on Wednesday morning, the basements of the houses in the vicinity of the harbour were again flooded, and there was distinct evidence in the foul-smelling water which the fire engine pumped out that it was not only surface water.

There is evidently some special canoe for the recent floods which have caused so much damage and so much inconvenience. Those who suffer are wondering why the report of the Surveyor has not been made public. They naturally think they should be informed of the cause, if it is known, and what steps are being taken to remedy what is undoubtedly very serious evil. The biggest thing in the operatic line which Folkestone has been favoured with I for many years will be the visit next week of the Call Rosa Opera will produce, in addition to "Faust," Lohen-1 grin," Carmen," Tannhaimer," and "II Trovatore," which may be termed "stock operas," also two others which have never yet been heard in Folkestone" The Jewels of the Madonna" and "The Magic Flute."

GET YOUR MEA FROM PEPPER SON Best on South Coast 'THE PUBLIC MOPING IN HARBOUR MIGHT.

Last (Thuredez) evening meeting, called by Councillo Jonek was held in Harbour Street, so that he could lay before the ratepayers hat had been done in respect to the recent flooding in the tbwer part of the town, and to consider het stems should be taken to remedy a as a condition of affairs as recently by reaidente and tradesmen in Harbour Street, Beach Street. and the neighbouring Councillor Barber, in opening the' meeting, said they were there to hear' the cause of that catastrophe which had' ruined people in that part of the town What they wanted was a meiunire; th bid not want chanty. Councillor Jones spoke at great length on die matter. In the course of his remarks, he said they were met there that plat to ooneider what was really a calamity and a grievance caused by the negligence and contempt of a af the Council, who had, by with the drainage of the town, and were risking of the people, and the property of the town. The cause of the flooding was very pla a a and the remedy was very simple not, costly.

About twenty years ay, the Council decided to take over ae drainageof Cheriton, and until that time they had no land flooding. The Cheriton drains were taken over about 1894, and on June 10th. UGC the, had their first flooding of endow water. At that time they were prowled a They had never got that remedy. The arrangement for the drainage of Cherie ton in such a way was sanctioned by the Local Governmaat Board.

Cheriton had to contribute towards the hying of, the drain sad also to pay a nominal gum of £l5 per year to the Council. There was, however, a proviso that the ar- 1 rangenesst mould be terminated with an ordinary six months' notice. To do, away with that flooding they must give Chariton six months' notice the Ist, of October to discontinue their connection with the drainage of and to make their own arrangements. Then the screen and the sewage chamber which had been reoentlSt constructed had aggravated the flooding. Those things were advised by their present Mayor and the Borough Engineer, notwithstanding that the Local Government Board had sanctioned a provisional loan of £40.000 for carrying out the outfall to Copt Point.

At a private banquet the Surveyor said he took no notice of opposition, for eleven years ago he commenced to make blocks for that chamber, and he had continued to do so ever since, for a chamber he ens determined to have. They knew tiow the screen had worked, and it was ot until that screen was put in that they got sewage in the flooded places. Councillor Jones went on to describe the two recent private meetings of the Council. and stated that a resolution was passed appointing a committee to go into the matter. That resolution was put by the Mayor while he was speaking, uct the Mayor said he would not listen to bim.

He contended that those screens were the cause of a great many cellars, in Radnor Street being flooded, that had' never been flooded before. He was there to emphasise the point that those screens must be dapped at once whatever might be the km. He asked the ratepayer' to send representative, 'o, the Council to assist him in the were which he had set before them, and he, said at the next election Mumford, Bishop and Wampaoh in ths West Ward. Councillors Ringsmill and Parsons in the North Ware. and Councillor Rent in the Elate Ward.

must be turned out and their places filled by men pledged to do all they could to prevent a recurrence of that flooding. On the queston of compensation, he said that if compensation was not given to the poor people in the East Ward, then none should to those people in tilts. West Ware. He eventually moved a resolution to the effect that in the on'ttion of that meeting the flooding wns calmed by the taking of the Cheriton drainage, aggravated by the sewer ontfitil. and that the Corporation should immediately take steps to sever their connection with Cheriton, net rid of the screens and go on at once with the extension to Copt Point.
