The Mayor. said that there had been n good many fires in Charlotte- town lately. and a great many ,,,t_ 1.cnil>l.s,at setting -fire, and lic thought it would be'i the int;-reels of the city if an -invhstlgation was held after every fire. It wus n thing that they ought io have deeiilgii Ubon before` now. Any fire iliac should occur in future he thought they should have investigated, It would he some satisfactioii to the citizens, he said, to know that the (ilty Council were interested in hav- ing such matters investigated, ` After some discussion as to what was provided in the law at present with regard to, such investigations being held, the ` Recorder explained that there wus a general provincial law that provided that any Stipend- iary Magistrate in any county shall hold an inquiry into the cause of any fire on the application of any citizen or resident. There was refer- ence in u .bye-law to the appointment of a. Board of Engineers und'tho holding by them of fire investigations, 'l‘h~st was the kind of investigation that tiiey desired.” What they required wus a competent Fire Board. Councillor Riley said that there ‘already was in existence a Eire Board. - » . ' The Recorder# said'~that it he'd,_not the power to old those investigat- ions. ‘ . Mr. McKenna said that under the law nt present he thought' that the, Chief ldiigiiiccr could hold an inves- tigation and summon witnesses at ' nnv time. .' AN APPLICATION.

He crowded on when it was distinctly laid down that anyone who was angry with his brother was a murderer. "An angry thought in the heart is the root and seed of murder," continued Mr. How- itt, "and I doii’t think there is any- one_who can acknowledge in the spi- ritual sense that he has not broken every commandment." The Canon proceeded to dilate on “the consequences of sin," and gave a few interesting anecdotes in illus- tration ,of his remarks. Once, hc s.-iid, a famous painter was preparing a picture of The Last Supper. He wanted ii. model for Christ and after considerable search he one day be- held a beautiful and holy looking young man whonrhe persuaded to be the model. The painter painted all of thc Apostles and years after he looked around to find a ~man who would adequately represent Judas, who was the only character remain- ing to complete the picture. At'1ast he espied a despimhle drunknrd. Wh!! readily consented to fill the role of Judas. “But," said the man to the painter, “don’t you remember md? I was the model for your Christ." 'Iliff said the speaker, was an example of .the consequences of sin. The man was a sinner at the beginning, but the eye of the painter did not dis- cern the fact; and the man had gone from ‘bud to worse until he became a wretched being. The great thinlb said Mr. Howltt, was to strive never 'to start ninning even in the slightest,- for once begun it was extremely dif- ficult to stop.
