TIE POWER NEEDED.

And this is the power that the Christian church.
as a whole, needs today. Indeed. this is The
power that each Christian needs, in order 10 make
him an effective Christian witness. This Is Tho
power that will break down the scepticis'n, and
the indifference, and the ease in Zion with which
The church OF Christ is affiliated.
For let il he said that the evils OF this age
and the opposition to Christianity and the in
difference TO revealed truth, are no greater thar
they were in apostolic times There is 10 spot
in this world where Jesus Christ is more de
spised and where Christian truth is more ignored
than they were in Jerusalem, and in all Judea
and in Samaria in tho time OF Christ. And yet
Jewish prejudice and opposition We're overcome
by the witEeSs,bearing OF few plain, earnest
honest, Jealous Christian men. The jew, the
Greek and the Roman were all alraycd against
Christ and His religion and yet, in few years
the proud Roman and the philosophc Greek were
found sitting at the feet OF Jesus and in almost
three centuries after Chrio's resurrection, His re-
ligion was proclaimed the religion OF the Roman
empire.
Why was this; How did 1t happen; The only
answer is that the witnesses for Christ received
power from on high, and by means ot that power
they wrought mighty moral and religious rev
olution
The same power is needed, and the same power
Is promised TO Christian, today But the trouble
is that we have not olayed this Divine power
nor have we utilized ii as we should We have
heard that there is Holy Ghost, but we have
acted, in large measure, as II We had not re-
Ceived Him since we believed. We haze not ielt
a we should, onr dependence upon Him lor holy
living, and for successful Christian work.

kin, reference is made to the dynan1it-
ing Of Officer Bruner's home as "the
most atrocious crime in the annals of
the year" During the past year, De
tective Dunn retired, and Patrol Oper-
ator Russell was dismissed.
Chief Durkin recommends the adop.
tion Of the Bertillion system of identi-
fication, the placing of Is additional
patrol boxes, and the placing Of three
additional electric gongs.
There are AZ officers in the depart
ment, and two special officers. During
the past year, 116 persons were sent
from Akron to the workhouse. or this
number 81 were State cases
and 80 City cases. There
were 1713 arrests made. The auto
patrol was called out 1,181 times,
brought in 1,134 prisoners, and travelled
l,9641a miles.
1t Is impossible to compare the fig
ures for the past year with those OF
the preceding year, as the records were
burned in the old City Hall. However,
there were not as many arrests made
as during some of the former years
For instance, in the year ending March
Is. 1897, there were 1887 arrests.
The report Of Fire Chief Mertz was
reviewed in the newspapers more thar
two months ago. The showing for thi:
department is good, and the Chief
makes many recommendations. g
In the report of Engineer Payne
he says that the area within the city
limits is 11.65 square miles; total Length
Of sewers, $3.50 miles; tota
! length of streets, 15056; total pave
ment on streets and alleys, 23.44 miles
ratio of mileage of paved streets to TO-
tai length of streets, 1880 per cent.
area of parks, 06 cres; area of GENE
teries, 139 acres.
During the pc st year three mair
trunk sewers were completed
and the total number of sew
ers constructed and contracts
awarded is 3s. Legislation is already
under way for the construction of q
great many more. During the past yeal
| 20 streets were improved. Th'
number is small, owing to the scarcity
of funds which handicapped improve
ments last year.
The report of Attorney w. 7
Vaughan, treasurer of the Library
board, shows that there is a balance II
the treasury of $2,225.45.
The report of the City Clerk places
the total of the city's bonded indebt
edness at $527,70O.
A balance of $14, 4,130.6S was reported
in the General fund; Street fund, over
drawn, $S,66936; Fire fund, balance Of
S., ,O05. .6S; Fire Construction fund, bal
ance of $s,563.51; Police fund, over
drawn, $s,s32.53; Light fund, over
drawn, S30O.93; Bridge fund, balance
of $10,S78.73. There are great many
smaller funds which are In fairly goot
shape. Considerable space in the bool
is taken up with figures relating to th
special funds.
During the year quite a number o
bonds were sold for street and othe
| improvements. These receipts max
a good showing when added in wit
the total receipts. Inc total receipt
amounted to $409, ,45S.S7, exceeding ex
penditures by $5,136.34.

CT know one dish I can prepare for
breakfast as we'll as any cook on earth,
said my husband one day when the cook
was ill and he had volunteered to help

and I discovered it was Grape-Nuts,
which, Of course, was easy to prepare for
1T was perfectly cooked at the factory
but 1t was good illustration of the con-
venience of having Grape Nuts about.
We just added little cream, and, Of
course, had delicious bit of food. We
took up Grape Nuts Immediately after re-
turning from a fve-years' sojourn in a
hot country and our stomachs were in bad
condition and we were in bad health gen.
orally.
When we first tried it 1 confess we
thought there were other and better things
to eat and were told we must acquire a
taste for this new food Sure enough. in
q day or two We liked Grape-Nuts better
than any other kind of food on the table
We both gained steadily in health and
strength, and this was caused by Grape
Nuts and Postum Food Coffee.
A friend of ours had similar expert
ence. She was seriously ill with indiges-
ton and could find nothing to eat that
would not give her heart burn and PAL
