Of this $1,000 has been ex pended leaving a net amount in the treasury ot $3.foo above all expendi tures for the year. This amount will play no unimportant feature in next years season.

If a man wants ti respect his lire and the oest that is In him, lie should have a thought of God. Religion Is the true attitude and agnostici'.tn lb not good ror man.

''My the hypothesis "T Darwin, it Is Uj some extent an accepted fact that ir it be true, the religion or God is not true. This point of view may be found among those who have not giver! it deep thought or among the young. Hut tnere is no basis to that conclusion. The Darwin hypothesis is true as long as biological science is concerned but tor a general hypothe sis it cannot apply "to everything. No account can be made or the leap from Inorganic to tho organic with out the thought ol a supreme maker or God.
