I'm south Side Gospel Tent.
For the wages of sin is death, but the
gift of God is eternal life, through Jesus
Christ, our Lord" This is the text from
which the Rev. Mr.. Lyon addressed over
two thousand people at the South Side gos-
pei meeting last night.
"Sin Is an awful reality and no a igment
OF the imagination, as some people would
have US believe" he said mo amount Of
charity. no amount OF culture. will save the
lost soul. He that covereth his own sin
shall not prosper but when God covereth
our sins they are covered forever Chris
tian salvation gives US freedom from past
sin, 1t frees us from the present power of
sin. and for the future II blots out the eff
fects OF what has gone before. 1t is not
forgiveness Is ours, but through the mercy
OF God Almighty. Not only does the ac-
ceptance of this mercy make us right with
COD, but II gives US the power TO forsake
sin.
1T Is so sure the wages OF sin Is death
that the proposition Is incontrovertible. We
see IL every day In the life around us The
fact that the Christian life leads away from
sin is as incontrovertible the first state
ment. Why Is Ii, when every walk of life
is asking for men and women of Character
strong enough to resist sin and vice. and the
Christian faith supplies this-why do we
not accept II? 1t Is the only true basis for
the regeneration OF our Nation"

Last Sunday he was released from the

DAY LABORERS
WILLIAM t. BROWN TAKES OUT PER-
NIT FOR $1,000 BUILDING.
The New Flat VIII Contain Sixteen
Apartments and the Rents Will
he Reasonable.

The day is rapidly coming in Indianapolis
when laboring men and their families may
live with small expense in big apartment
houses equipped with all modern conven-
fences, as the real-estate men say. and to
all intents and purposes as comfortable as
the aristocratic apartment houses that now
are occupied exclusively by those Of long
purse.
Plans were submitted yesterday by Will
liam T. Brown, an attorney, to Building In
spector Bartel calling for the erection of
a two-story brick and stone building at the
corner of Liberty and Wabash streets. The
new fiat will cost $1,000, according to the
estimates of Architect Hendrickson, but the
total amount to be expended in the project
by Mr.. Brown will be about $4,000. Adjoin-
ing the site of the new building is an old
brick structure that will be remodeled and
connected with the new apartment house.
The fiat will be uniform in exterior and in
terror, and of pleasing appearance. Inspec-
tor Bartel approved the plans, and building
permits were taken out by Mr.. Brown.
The new fiat will contain in all sixteen
apartments, four to five rooms in each The
suites will be equipped with electric lights,
private bathrooms, kitchens, and everything
else that goes TO make life worth living in
the abodes of the more favored of fortune.
The fiat is intended exclusively for rental
to laboring people. and is something in the
nature of an experiment. 1t will be the
first pretentiOus structure put up with the
announced purpose of catering TO the poor.
The apartments will rent from $3.50 to
$3.50. an amount no larger than is paid for
house rent by the great majority.
There will be no edict against the little
folk. No stern injunction will be posted
barring people who have children in their
families. In that respect, at least, the new
fiat will differ from the big North eide
buildings.
81 have an idea" said Mr.. Brown, that
the time is ripe for just this kind of prof.
ect. Laborng men are getting more wages
from year to year, and are consequently
getting a taste for the luxuries that they
never had before They more able to
pay for conveniences which only an apart
ment house of pretentious character can
furnish. However, the rental TO be charged
will be as easily within the means of the
class we purpose to cater TO as the average
amount paid for house rent. Work will be-
gin on the new building and in remodeling
the old at once. We expect to have the
whole completed by Sept. L.
II Mr.. Browns plan of giving the poor
the same comforts as the rich, on greatly
reduced scale of prices, succeeds Ii is prob
able that next season will see a number of
these flats going up. Real-estate men say
that the plan ought to be financial sue

I'm New Contract.

The important question discussed at the
monthly meeting OF the directors OF the
Commercial Club yesterday was that of the
electric light contract for the city The
question was brought up by Lewis Hoover.
secretary of the club. A committee has
been investigating the subject and ascer-
tanning the prices paid by other cities for
their lights. The report showed that in
nearly every case the rates are much bet
ter than in Indianapolis. The general opin-
ion that the city ought to have
all-night schedule rather than a moonlight
system. even though il would cost $40 more.
The present rate in the city is SIS. Many
OF the members OF the committee were OF
opinion that a rate of $65 could be obtained.
The present contract has expired and the
city Is being lighted on an extension OF the
old contract Specifications for new cleo
