During the singing of who'll be the next to

Mr. Jones was lost sight of in the audience
pleading with sinners.
The hymn Jesus will help you," was sung
with great fervor.
Mr.. Small-If you want prayer come out of

some of YOU for standing there in the way.
At this about twenty persons came forward,
and prayer was offered by DIR. Mcleod
Mr.. Jones-Let every one who will take Christ

say I'll take him and abide my choice forever.

murder the high-school is TO murder the

We have an immense child-population, and

Brains ought to be put into our School Board. It
takes brains to operate the schools and brains to
usc money wisely. Our school system is loaded
down with foolish things that should be stripped

lately carelessly allowed our School Board to be

Street Cleaning.

To the Editor Of the Indianapolis JourpaE
Some folks wonder why our streets are so
badly cleaned. 1t is because the city pays more
than the market price for labor and it's laDorers

the city is 40 per cent on its laborers Poor peo-
pie have to work hard to get the money to pay
