NEED MORE ROOM
IN THE CITY HALL
COUNCIL Is CROWDED FROM
QUARTERS
Resrraneement Of Chamber to ALLOW
Engineers Part Of Space Forces
Legislative Body Into Conn
mittee Rooms

When the work Of dividing the old
council climber, horizontally, Is COM
pleted, the city engineers force will
be spread over several parts of the
city hall The upper half of the old
council chamber will be used by the
engineers staff and also the old quar-
ters on the second floor.
1t was first planned to have the
council hold it's meetings in the upper
half of the old room and give the lower
half to the city engineer and the city
attorney. 1t has recently been decided
however, to allow the council to occupy
the lower half, and as suite has been
rented in the Merchants Trust building
for the accommodation Of Assistant
City Attorney Goudge, the city en-
gineer will have the entire space.
I'VE need 1t all and more, too" said
City Engineer Stafford. I'VE have been
occupying cramped quarters for a long
time and have had to increase our
force until there is scarcely elbow room
for the employees of my office. Even
with all the space that we will have
in the old council chamber and the
qudTleTS we lOW OCCupy, we COulu use
more room to advantage"
1t wis first planned to rent one entire
floor of the Copp building for the ac-
commodation of the engineer and his
staff, but the plan of cutting up the
council room was deemed cheaper and
better. The council will have as much
space for the transaction of it's busi-
ness as ever, although the room will
be only half as high and not so i'm
posing. The top gallery will be sac
rificed
1t will be impossible to hold the coun-
Gil meeting in the regular chamber this
morning as the work is not yet half
completed. The council will gather in
this room at 10 o'clock this morning and
after a roll call, adjournment will be
taken to the committee room. The
meeting last Monday afternoon and the
one Friday afternoon were held in the
committee room and the lack of con-
venences for transacting business was
keenly felt. There is only one library
table in this room and nine councilmen,
with the minute clerk. are compelled to
crowd around 1t. Members of the coun-
Gil do not expect to be able to hold
meetings in the regular council room
before the first Of the year.

TALKS ON MODERN HEROES
Rev. William Horace Day Tells His
Hearers Of Wonders Wrought
In China

At the First Congregational church
last night the pastor Rev. William
Horace Day gave the third sermon in
the series on Modern Heroes of the
Faith" The choir was assisted by a
quartet of brasses, which gave THE
Battle Prayer" by Himmel, and Barn
aby's Sweet and Low"
In speaking on Pastor Hsi, n re-
markable Christian leader in Shansi
Mr.. Day said in part:
I'm 1879 David Hill, Wesleyan mis-
sionary, was touring far to the north
Of his station. He met and taught the
new faith to n scholar and gentleman
called Hsi. The western Chang village
where he lived was in an uproar. How
could he have been so bewitched? 1t
was evident they had not bought his
allegiance to the new doctrine, he
could afford no new luxuries, he spent
his time in new ways about his farm,
in speaking of the new religion. and
wonder of wonders-he, the slave of
opium, was free again.
Strange things happen even in China.
The man whom everybody despised
and expected to see soon suffer the
anger of the gods he abandoned pros
pered. His old habit had no grip upon
him, a new gentleness of demenor and
forbearance in meeting with less
judgment, for which he had been noted
before he fell a victim to foreign
smoke, returned.
THE time for the election of chief
village elder came round. over their
pipes men began to say Hsi is the man;
it would never do because he is now
Christian, but the more 1t was dis
cussed the clearer 1t seemed that his
religion need make no difference. He
was asked to serve. L cannot he said,
because L could do so on but two con-
ditions-I could offer no sacrifice to
idols They surprised him by accept
ing that condition, but were hardly
prepared for the second.
"T cannot be head of a village where
public sacrifice is made to IDOLS
I'm spite of these requirements he
was elected, and no sacrifices were
made for year. The community
prospered, and he was reelected year
by year until his religious work had
grown beyond his strength and he de-
clined to serve again but said I think
the idols must be starved by this time;
/ would not take pains to revive them.
His shrewd heather fellow townsmen
followed his advice. Trained as a
physician he was led to open a ma
tive medical mission, using native
drugs supplemented by knowledge he
gained from the medical missionary ir
the province. Hsi'S life work now be-
gan. One of his converts had gone
home to preach the gospel. Many came
to talk with him who were opium
smokers-was there no hope for them
after nearly twenty years a densely
populated territory as large as all New
England was permeated with Chris
tianity, not American Christianity but
true living Chinese Christianity. The
motto of this wonderful life was With
out me ye can do nothing He had
learned the reality of fellowship with
Christ" {"

In Time of Pence

In the first months of the Russia
Japan war we had a striking example
of the necessity for preparation and the
early advantage of those who, so to
speak, have shingled their roofs in
dry weather." The virtue of prepar-
alton has made history and given to
us our greatest men. The individual
as we'll as the nation should be pre-
pared for any emergency. Are you pre-
pared to successfully combat the first
cold you take? A cold can be cured
much more quickly when treated as
soon as it has been contracted and be-
fore it has become settled in the sys-
tenn. Chamberlains Cough Remedy is
famous for its cures of colds and 1t
should be kept at hand ready for in
slant use. For sale by all leading
