, City Meeting Monday!

One of the most important gatherings
yet called sincen Norwalk became a
city, is warned for :Monday afternoon
next, to consider mattersof the gravest
consequence to“ the welfare, attractive-
ness, and future growth of our city.
The repaving of Wall street, the widen-
ing of our narrow Bridge and the cut-
ting away of the old wooden buildings
on a line from the Wilson :building,
across the stream to Lockwood’s Hall,
are matters of the gravest import and
should draw out a full representation
of our tax-payers.

 

' God’s Watchmen.

Even in this common every-day life
in this work-a—day world the post of a
watchman is quite as important as it is
in the armel camp. Property to the
value of billions of dollars is nightly
consigned to the care of watchmen,
whose responsibilities are great and
whose honor and courage must be be-
yond question. , .

Every man or woman is, or should
be, a Watchman on the tower of Zion.
God has made us watchmen over His in-
terests, in some degreeto see that His
sheep do not go astray-j to see that His
children are not ruined and destroyed;
that His holy temples are not defaced,
and that His kingdom is made secure
against the assaults of wicked and .des-g
perate foes. ,
: God makes us His watchmen. and
showstis love for us and His desire to
test our faith and fidelity bv confiding
momentous things to our keeping. If
we hear Gou’s word condemned and
His holy spirit denied, His heaven
mocked and His law defied, we must, as
good watchmen, give the alarm, so that
His army can be aroused and meet and
defeat and crush those who would im-
piously do battle with the living God.

It is our duty as watchmen to unmask
hypocrisy, to defend the right and to
stand valiant, as good soldiers, when-
ever the still, small voice calls us to the
post of duty.

In agreat degree God has made us
watchmen over ourselves, over our own
souls. Our souls are his holy temples,
and He has placed them in our keeping.
We are to look after them and to see
that they are kept well swept and clean.
We are to endeavor to keep them as
pure as when they were given us. We
are not to allow any of God’s enemies
to enter them. We are to be always on
the alert, always on the watch, to see
that no harm comes to God’s property,
over which he has placed us on guard.

Is it not a grand thing to realize that
we have been placed on guard over our
own souls, that we are God’s soldiers,

on guard over the property that He has .

put in our keeping to see if we will
make the proper use of it ?

We have full liberty to beautify these
temples if we see fit. We can make
them musical with singing fountains
and bright with gorgeous'tapestry, and
sweet with the fragrance of good deeds.

But we must be c ns‘antly on‘ guard
over the temples of the living God.
Enemies are plentiful, all too eager to
'break in and deface. We must be
ready for every signal ofgdanger and
strong to repeal every assault. _

If the enemies prove too strong for
us,‘we need not give way to despair
and weakly and dastardly surrender
our sacred sou‘s. J rsus Christ is the
captain of our watch, and we have only
to call upon Him to have His uncon-
querable sword flash in our behalf and
His ever victorious shield be placed be-
tween us and our enemies.

Q.—

A few years ago nearly all newspapers
published, at this season, recipes for summer
complaints. Now such items are seldom
met with. Publishers have learned that
there is nothing quite as good as Chamber-
lain’s Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy
for these diseases and as it is in general use
everywhere they have quit publishing these
recipes. N 0 one haviu a bottle of this
remedy in the house nee fear an attack of

Dog Tray" in fio'sie'neu.

”Do you remember the story of the
good dog that was punished for being
in bad company?" asked the teacher.

“As I recall the fable, ” said the little
Boston boy, retrospectively. “the mor-
al hinged on the circumstance that the
good influence of the animal’s heredity

was wholly neutralized on that occasion l

by an objectionable environment.”—
