A Special Sermon.

Rev. DR.. Bowers preached a
special sermon at St. Andrews
Episcopal church Sunday, having
formally invited the mayor and
other city officials to hear him.
Those of the city officers in attend.
ance were Mayor Cliff A. Adams,
Aldermen r. G. Tabor, W. S. How.
ell, Walter Wipprecht, City Secre-
tary II. G.. Rhodes and City Mar
shall T. p. Boyett.
After the usual service DR..
Bowers announced his text from
the 18th Psalm, fifth verse: IF
| forget thee, o jerusalem, let my
right hand forget her cunning"
The sermon dealt with the early
history Of the people Of God and
their desire to possess a city; their
subsequent Joy in Jerusalem and
their loyalty to that great city
even when driven away in exile,
beautifully illustrated by their
turning their faces towards that
city to pray and their pilgrimages
and yet more beautifully by the
vision of St. John who saw the
holy city, the new Jerusalem. The
lesson drawn from the subject was
given local application in an adj
monition Of the people for loyalty
TO the city in which thew live, that
they may seek by word and deed
its continued upbuilding.
The speak 'r declared himself in
favor Of a public library, public
expositions, the observance OF
national and civic holidays, the
preservation Of a public park with
the cultivation Of flowers, the
marking Of historic points with
suitable monuments, etc.
He stated that it was better to
prevent mischief by amusing the
people and keeping them from il
than by inhicting punishment
after an &C. is committed. The in.
nuence Of Christian men in con
Quoting public affairs was empha
sized and the duty of citizenship
: enlarged upon.
The sermon was well received
by the large congregation present

applause.

MAKES A SENSATIONAL STATEMENT
Confidential Testimony from Men Who
Are Afraid To BE Known.

In response to a general question DR.
DAILY said he had come into much infor-
nation confirmatory of what he had
testified to, hut which had come to him
in a confidential way. rendering it i'm
proper for him to give the names Of
those supplying the facts. In truth u
ban had been placed upon the informa-
tion. He thought that some forty or
fifty persons had spoken to him in cor
roboration of what he had said. These
were the proprietors of slaughtering
houses and the manufacturers of chemi-
Gals. One manufacturer had told him
that he would have been compelled to go
out of business but for the patronage of
the beef men. He said after some ques-
tioning that he would ascertain whether
he could give the names of those peo-
pie to the court. Asked if he was still as
much convinced as when he made his
report of the quality of the beef, he said.
