Indianapolis has the smallest police
force in the country in proportion to its
pOpulaIi ion. One city in the state has q
patrolman for every $50 people, while
Indianapolis has one pstrolman for
every 100 people. Evansville. the sec
ond city in the state, has more patrol
men according TO its population than
the capital. 1t is considered remark
able that Indianapolis is as clear of
crime as it is. 1t is figured in police
circles the world over that one patrol
man ought not to cover a district of
over 1000. Indianapolis beats the fig
ures out with 700 TO spare.

responsibilities. While all governors
are not accomplished speakers, it is q

M. T.. CHURCH.

Because of the extreme cold the con-
gregations were not as large as usual at
any of the services at the Methodist
church Sunday. Hereafter, when
zero weather prevails, the services will
all be held on the ground floor, which
can be comfortably heated in any kind
of weather. Barring the discomfort at
the morning service, it was an enjoy
able day.
The subject of the morning discourse
was, "POwer with God,' based upon
Gen. 32:2S-"Thy name shall be called
no more Jacob, but Israel. for as a
prince thou hast power with God and
with men," The secret of power with
God lies first in righteousness. Jacob

become possessed with a righteous

When Moses went to the rescue of

that he will command his children and

keep the way of the Lord to do justice

gard iniquity in my heart the Lord will
not hear me" James said: "The sup
plication of righteous man availeth
much" He who would have power
with God must be right with Gcd. The
second essential is sympathy. Kindred
spirits flow one into the other. The
man or woman who lives in sympathy
with God receives divine power. The
got desperately in earnest that night
and wrestled till the break of day. God
can trust an earnest man if he is right.
Earnest christians and earnest churches
have always had power with God.
Their power is not something to be
sought effectively. What we need is
to be right before God and men; to be
in perfect sympathy with Gods will; to
be desperately in earnest for the king
dom of God. 1t is ours to open the
channels and divine power come sweep
ing like flood into our lives.

AT THE CHURCHES.
UNIT ED BRETHREN.

The morning theme was based upon
l Cor. 8: 1920: Eye are not your own
for ye are bought with price. There
fore gl1rify God in your body and in
your spirit which are Gods"
By transgression man became a slave
to satan but by the atonement there
was paid the purchase price by which
these slaves could be set free. Now the
Lord has bought US; we are not our
own but are the Lords, and the legiti-
mate inference is that we should glori-
fly the Lord in our body and in our spirit
which are the Lords.
The theme at night was "The for
besrance of GOd"-Rom. 2: 4. Ode
spiseth thou the riches of his goodness
and forbearsnce and longsufferlng; not
knowing that the goodness of God lead
eth thee to repentsnce?" These grs-
cious qualities here enumerated have
been exercised toward each one of us,
not only during the past year but
through all the years of our lives, and
the great design of it all is that We may
be led to repentance for wrong COM
mitted and duties neglected, and be led
to full and complete dedication of
ourselves to the Lord.
