ing seeds whose fruit is integrity and
manliness and involves rejection Of
such men As Powers for representa-
tives. Christ did not set his disciples
to work on the velvet lawns but in the
highways and hedges, not because the
lawns did not need attention, but be-
cause Of the meagre results of soul
culture among the rich. Christ
felt that labor among the rich
and self-satisfied was not worth
while considering the results TO
be obtained among the poor in thirty
years. Modern disciples are apt to be
discouraged at the results Of their
work but most of them have chosen
rich parishes and they must accept a
scanty yield. Camels are no smaller
and the eyes Of needles no wider than

was first preached
Alderman Powers had strong hold
in the Hull House ward. He is a
practical politician who distributes
patronage with sagacity. His ear
was always open to the cry of voter
and ON election day he could point
them to the advantages of being his
constituents. All the more credit 10
the work and to the influence of Miss
Adams and DIR. Graham Taylor
that their neighbors were able
to ignore the material advan-
tages received from Alderman
Powers and nominate a higher type of
man who would not steal even for the
benefit Of the ward. The Chicago
papers say that Powers grew almost
uncomfortable angry when he discov-
cred that he was ''beaten, whipped.

plete and humiliating manner possi-

Powers position was unassailable. He
was king OF his ward. But the healthy
public sentiment planted by Hull
House has finally defeated him. Miss
Addams herself is an inspired politi-
clan and she wields an influence that

derestimated.
