when. where from! This is a matter which

by motives of economy and prudence. and
when they recommend. such recommends
tlon will be based upon sound judgment
and economical principles.
It adorde nepleasnre to notice. that our
cotetnpcrary. the meats. speaking of the
water question. gives expression to a senti-
ment which we hope will prevail in both
the city and borough. and makes some state.
meats. and othre Ingestion: that are worthy
of consideration. We doubt very touch.
whether it is the W plan whereby nume-
ient water can be procured for our city. but
from present knowledge. we do agree with
the (lasette. that if water can be procured
from our sister city upon equitable terms.
it is. undoubtedly. the most feasible way.
We quote from the Gaaette :—
“ We argue. from the choice of these gen.
tlemen, that something practical will be not

but with o coed ence born of ten years of
careful personal examination of all available
sources of water suppl in or near Norwalk.
that we assert our be ief that the stream
adopted by the Borough is meow one ade

other source of stream supply open to them.
We as ' frankly that we hope souvecona‘udw
ate an equitable plan will beafoaoedsvlscd
by which our neighbor may enloy our water
privilees on terms as advantageous as we do
ourselves. We assure this is the one pre-
vailing feeling here. At the same titne. we
know blic sentiment in the Borough to be
dccid ly adverse to urging upon our friends
the undeniable advantages we have at our
disposal.
In a conversation had with the encore of
the New Haven road. last week. we were
assured that they greatly desired to make
South Norwalk the principal water station
on the road. But no long had the matter
of introducing public water been canvassed.

would be the best customers in the whole

the adoption of other means of supply. would

occur. it would be better that the Railroads
be permitted to run a twoinch pipe up to

these fair and sensible men. resolved on
a fair thing. (as we are sure both Boards will
be.) there ought to be no dimculty and no
great delay in devising a scheme that would
be cquitab e and easy running. and every
way advantageous to both sections. Mean-

Borough has no disposition to run a shar

THE AGREEMENT.
A question has arm-n in the Board of
Councilmen as to whether the parties assess-
ed on Main Street did agree to settle on
the basis of a reduction of twenty
seven per cent. As no documents have
been brought forward by either side for
tht‘il‘ onllahunent. we will publish a little of
the history of the case it is not necessary for
us to mount the tint assessment. appeal.
etc. as it is well known that an appeal was
had. and resulted in a different finding by
either matinee. Then came the time for
collection of the sentiments. and the counx
cil appointed a special committee. composed
at Councilmen Rowen. (buyer. and J. R.
Raymmd. to catsuit with the parties. and
settle upon some basis. It was finally
agreed upon by about all of the interested
parties and the «mitten at a meeting held
in the Council Room. to close up the case.

and the costs in proof of this we publish
the darling of the committee and the
agreement of the parties. in oneness that is
now under consideration by the uracil-—
lianford Wilcox or City of South Norwalk.
The Committee to re—eetlrnate and reassess.
reported as follows:
“The undersigned committee appointed

the Superior Court. to re-cstlntate and re

and certificates shall. when issued. be obit-
uatory upon said city and the inhabitants
thereof. according to the purport and tenor
of the same."
The commissioners. after the city bus vo-
ted to issue the bonds and prosecute the
work. not in the capacity of agents of the
city. and their action will be binding upon
the city, so far as it is conformity with the
provisions of the set. In short the work
and business in connection with the intro
duction of public water. will be underthe
control and supervision of the commission-
.1
The law is substantially the same as that
under which water was introduced into the
borough. and our readers probably remem-
ber that various borough meetings were
called to make appropriations for the prosc‘
cution of that work. No law can be made
that interferes with the vested rights of the
pimple.
The Board of Councilmen representing
the city. will, of course. have control of the
public hydrants. etc. and decide upon where
and how they shall be erected. As we un-
derstand it. the only additional power
conferred on them. is the right to fill any
vacancies that may occur in the Board of
Water Commissioners. Even did the law
give to the commissioners the authority to
proceed in this matter regardless of the
wishes of the people. we doubt if the then
could he found who would excreisé that
authority. The commissioners will proba~
blyascertaiu what water can be introduced
for from the various sources and submit
the estimates to the people. and if they do-
cide upon any of the plans. and agree to is
sue bonds to cover the cost of «instruction.
the commissioners will negotiate the bonds
and prosecute the work under the prov-is
ions of the charter.

The text was from Hub. 7: ‘25. “ Whore-
fore he is able also to save them to the ob
termost that come into God by hint. seeing

in his Introductory raised the question how
it is that the Christ who spake and wrought
wonders of power over the bodies and souls
of men while on earth. is alive and at work
‘with the same energy today:
I. Because his permit and work are eternal.
This was shown by the fact asserted in the
text that he offers for men in heaven an
everlasting prayer. One is helped by the
sympathetic prayer of a human friend on
earth: how much more by the prayer of a
saluted friend in heaven! how much more
still ' by the prayer of the divine friend
Christ Jesus! But the text means much more
than this; it means that what Jesus was
once he is new and always. While there
was something in him transient and perish-
able, there was something also abiding and
eternal. He called himself the “ 1.4m" be-
cause in him lived the life of the Eternal.
and spoke the word of the Everlasting.
Older than the everlasting mountains and
the changeless heavens—he knew that
though heaven and. earth should pass away.

Marttoorsr Connors—The attendance at
the morning service at this church was quite
large. but the excellence of the sertuon
should have brought outs full audience.
The pastor. Rev. Mr. Tower. selected his
text from the 119 psnlst. 13 verse :—“ It is
time for thee. Lord. to work. for they have
made void the laugh. After explaining the
pcctillar construction and authorship of the
psnltn from which the text was taken. and
the general illsrcaard for the law that
prevailed at the time it was written. the
reverend gentleman remarked upon its up-
plicablenesa to the present time. The pres
cut but time of wide spread and subtle
skepticism. Philosophy and science char»
acteriae the thinking of the higher classes.
and there is much in this that ought to be
encouraged. yet the odorts at philosophy
leads runny minds to léok upon human wis»
dom as all knowledge. and creates a dispo-
sition in thorn to set aside revelation and
supernatural interposition. and these men
set up a religion to suit themselves that re-
quires no restraint upon natural desires. or
reverence for God. This skepticism runs
through must of the higher literature of the
day. and the magazines and periodicals
abound in a philosophy that puts the Christ.-
ian relluion out of date. The fact of this
being a reading ago infuse (through all
minds this skepticism. and reaches oven the
churches. The present is a time of intense‘
tvorldliucss. Students. statesmen. cto..are
laboring for preeminence place and worldly
possessions. rathcr than for the saving of
men and improving their moral condition.
It is it time of vice and wide spread wick-
edness. Granting that we are living in theI
best ago of the world. the fact remains that
it is a limo of homicides. theft. nrsona and
dcfulcatiott in high places. A malarial mor-
al atmosphere paralyzvs the better influ-
ences on which the higher moral society do
pends. There is a tide of skepticism that
is taking out the ticrve of the church. which
if not checked. \vill rot society and destroy
our government. The remedy for these
prevailing evils is in obeying the law. in the
spirit. The great men who have walked
the walks of science. and retained the love
and fear of God. when Questioned as to
what influences them to retain such rover
once. reply that it is their moral nature that
controls them. and not their intellect. The
masses and) controlled in these mutton not
by mm. but by the feelings of the heart.
Rovivals shake out skepticism. Where the
heart goes up to God. and the spirit of God
enters. it is the easiest thing in the world to
believe [it God. To cure worldllm not
nearer to God. But it will not do to cut oil
branehosahe evil must be torn up by the
rmts. We must believe in God with a faith
that is without skepticism. The bible utuat
be snowed as the word of Gothaed the
fact outlined that “ carom yo be born again.
yo cannot arc the kingdom of God.“
llu‘vtst‘ 'l‘auttttutout—lu the evening
the pastor. Rev. J. N.’l‘aylor. preached
from tlcu. ill 12. “Abram dwelled iu
the land of Canaan. and Lot dwelt in the
cities of the Plain. and pitched his tent to»
ward Sodom.“
After a brief sketch of the two countries
which were occupied by those two promi-
nent and entirely different lliblical characn
tors. and a comparison of the generosity
of Abram and the selfishness of Lot. tho
preacher drew that-billowing leaeonefrum
the text and circumstances. The men re-
ferred to were prototypes of characters we
see in every day life. Lot. was one of those
men who lived for the pmont. Had he
llvll in our ”day he would probably have
looked upon the selecthn of‘bis country as
a matter of business. and justified himself
in the conclusion “ that business was busi-
ness. and no foclirtcs of propriety and right
should be allowed to stand in its'wny.‘ Lot‘s
choice was aworldly choice. and tltatohoico
decided his future destiny. There may be
attractions in the present but it was always
better to provide .for the future. When
Christ calls one way and self another. it was
best to beware of our decision. Lot‘s choice
was wrong because it was selfish. What he
could gain seemed to b0 the principle mow
tive that influenced him. and though he
probably would have thought dld‘ernntly
had another done the same thing. he justi-
fied himself in it. We excuse in ourselves
what we condemn in others. But selfish-
ness is always sinful. We are apt to think
there are extenuating circumstances in our
case. but this in not so. The world has
found no higher philosophy than that_of
Jesus. Theaatonetnent of Josue is the ex-
pression of the philosophy of Jesus. Lot's
choice was wrong because dictated by the
