time whether 1t be a social, political OF
commercial transaction All these va
ried ways in which a mans life Is ex-
plotted are to be simply modes in which
he shows faith to be divine. And the
activities and business of men are to be
looked upon as opportunities for fash
ing some divine quality into the world
What different thing the world would
be If we who are claiming to be Chris
tian men and women could come to see
life as the Master saw it, just divine
opportunity, chance to get spiritual
force into the world through our daily
affairs. But we use our business, our
political principles, our social functions
and our pleasures, for every purpose
save this.
"Can you conceive anything more sal
utary and more needed than this view
of life? Would it not stop all the strife,
bitterness. oppression and wrong II men
everywhere who call Christ master
could use their ordinary daily living as
a means of glorifying God If they would
regard their vocations and pursuits as
an opportunity for illustrating the di-
vine mercy, justice, truth and righteous
ness ?"

ton of the church to the industrial

ton of the church to the industrial
problem"
The principal points made by the
speaker were the novel and perplexing
result which economical law, working
under new conditions, produces. New
conditions are constantly arising which
modify the actions of law. The slave
trade, which at one time seemed to be
perfectly proper, became very different
thing under the influence of a noble SEN
timent and a higher conception of hu-
man life. A quickened conscience re-
uuired the abandonment of great busi-
ness This was the industrial problem
of that age Each fresh condition pro-
duces new industrial problems. The in
ventions of the last century, the pluto
cratic spirit Of the age, the fact that the
American is new type of man, the child
of a mixed race, the great increase in
the size Of our country and the develop
ment of our resources are the new condi-
tions with which our economic laws are
struggling today.
The question is, how shall capital and
labor adjust themselves to each other
lHeSG I'll " ii'N"N
consider the churchs method concern
ing economic laws and it's message con
cerning the novel conditions of our age.
All law is seemingly merciless. Light
ming is as liable to strike the artist arC
priest as the savage and tramp. Tha
same is true of the law underlying pow
erty-waste, ;11fisss.aes want. Are not the
greatest achievements in art. science
and civilization due to the higher men
tai powers which indirected law i'm
poses? Instead of regretting this we
should rejoice that law is as forceful as
it is.
The work of the church should be to
insist upon that high standard of char
acter which should make every Chris
tian man honest, candid and true. The
church has insisted upon certain great
principles-brotherho the necessity of
labor, justice to ALL public responsible
ity of Christian community. The
church should recognize the new condi-
tions, the temptation of people to close
their eyes and say there are no prob
lens: it should recognize the fact and
not be afraid to say that wrong is wrong
and sin is sin.
The church was crowded to the doors
and the choir rendered excellent music.

COUNCIL FORECAST
What Will Be Done. by the City
Fathers Today

Probably the most important matter
which the city council will act upon to-
day and in which nearly every citizen
of the city who desires good streets is
interested, is the opening of the bids for
the repaving of Main and Spring streets
from Temple to Ninth. 1t cannot be
stated in advance how many bids there
will be because the contractors usually
do not file their proposals until the morn
ing on which they are to be opened. The
bids will take the usual course, that Is
they will be referred to the board of
public works. Some Of the members de-
sire this board to take immediate action
and award the contract today. The
bids will be opened at ii o'clock. and
If the members of the board desired they
could consider them during the noon re-
cess and report at the afternoon ses-
sion.
A communication will be received from
the board of fire commissioners refer
ring to the council the matter of the
inspection of the engines of the fire
department by the boiler inspector
Chief Moore has reported that there Is
danger of running at least two engines
If the inspector insists upon his right to
dismantle and inspect the engines. 1t is
not a contest of his right to conduct the
inspections, but of whether it would not
be advisable to defer the inspections un-
til new engines can be secured. The
commission desires that the council
shoulder all the responsibility in this
matter and for that reason it has been
referred.
1t is not certain whether a successor
to Park Commissioner Waters will be
elected at today's meeting. His resig-
nation has been sent to Councilman Toll
and that gentleman will have the NAM
ing of a successor. He has expressed
desire to defer action until he can Sc
cure some expression of opinion from the
residents of his ward. In addition to
the matters mentioned the council will
dispose of a large amount of routine
business,

THE SECOND TEMPTATION
The Theme of Rev. David Walks Ser
mon at the Church of Christ

The Theme of Rev. David Walks Ser
mon at the Church of Christ
David Walk, in the church of Christ,
on Eighth street near Central avenue,
read Matthew WILL, and announced as
the subject of his sermon "The Second
Temptation of Our Lord in the Wilder
ness" This temptation is the opposite
of the first That was an appeal to ap-
petite and doubt; this to spiritual pride
and presumption. Christ's method rel
ative to the first furnished the tempter
with a clue to the mood of his soul, and
the present temptation is predicated OF
that clue. 1t is infinitely subtle. Find
ing Jesus so confident of his Father
care in things temporal Satan tempts
him to presume upon that care in things
spiritual Pride and presumption are
set over against appetite and doubt.
This expresses the philosophy of the
first two temptations. If you are willing
to trust God in one thing, why not in
everything? If you meant what you
said in the wilderness, give us an exhi-
bition of your trust in the city.
We have no right to place ourselves in
positions where miracles would be nee
essary for our rescue.% If sick, call
competent physician; If on a dizzy
height, walk down; If in doubt, take the
middle of the road.
In effect, Christ said that it would be
sin for him to attempt anything that
would be sin in those whom he came to
save AS a man, he did not claim i'm
munity for himself in anything that
would be wrong in man. Doing the mir
acle would have meant doubt; taking
the leap would have meant presumption.

were contrasted with that taught by
Christ for mans redemption.

See Your Good Works
Rev. Burt Estes Howard, at the First
Presbyterian church, took his text from
Matt. WIG: Even so, let your light
shine before men, that they may see
your good works and glorify your
Father which is in heaven"
"It was marked characteristic of the
Masters teaching that he exalted above
all measure human life. Jesus wanted
his followers to live their life in the
open, to let their deeds be known of
men, to take their place in the heart of
the worlds business but so to live that
men should be less impressed by them
than by the divine principle of which
they were an expression. so live he
says, that when men look upon your
life they shall think of God; they shall
catch sight of Cod No higher word
has ever been spoken to men than this
word, no call to a diviner truth was
ever made to man to be like a great
lamp in the world, radiant and shining.
Jesus strives to bring men to q con-
sciousness of this possibility in them
selves and afford his own experience
and life as an evidence Of what man
might become.
Jesus differentiated from the rest OF
us by degrees. In Him humanity filled

reached his possibility as an utterance
of God. What a world it would be il
every man lived at his best and let the
divine in him have it's own way with

BOY DROWNED.
Eddie Jerrett, Aged 10 Years,
Upset from Boat
And, CIinging to an Oar, Floats Down
River to Death.
Hiss Companion Rescued Unconscious and
Cinging to Buoy.

There seems to be no way of avoiding
city each spring. The dreaded season
was opened in this city. Saturday
morning at $50. when Eddie, the 10
ycars-old son Of Mr.. and Mrs. Ogil
Jerrett Of the Head of the Falls. was
drowned in the Kennebec river within
sight of his home.
Young Jerrett and his friend. Joseph
Verville. 16 years old, rowed across the
river 10 the vicinity Of the Hcllings
worth & Whitney mill and then came
back. When they attempted to set in
past the head Of the boom pier, just
book Of the Jerrett's home, they failed
to see a log that was laying across the
face Of the pier almost entirely
submerged. and the boat struck, being
Immediately capsiZed.
Young Vcrvlle could swim a little
and he at once struck out for the boom.
He had an oar in his hand and with
this he attempted 10 help his little
friend who could not swim. Ncrville
managed to climb upon a boom buoy
and then sent his oar cut to the JET
rett boy who was rapidly going down
river. BY the time the Eerville boy
reached the buoy he was we'll nigh
exhausted, and 50 when the Jerrett boy
finally seized the car, he pulled it out
Of Nerville's hand and went down river
clinging To it until he became exhaust
ed and then sank beneath the surface,
The NerViNe boy could only cling to
the buoy in the swift water and by the
time that he was reached bv Jesse
Lambert. he was unconscious. He was
taken ashore and carried TO his home
which was near al hand and for a long
time remained unconscious but finally
came out of the sclape all right. 1t is
likely that, having clung to the oar,
the Jarrett boys body was carried
down over the falls.
