Within 1t is severe in its simplicity, but So flooded with light and air there is none of the exterior gloominess.
 All Souls. across the way, was una. dorned save for flowers or vines that bespoke the season. Mir. Jones be- lieves in living close to the earth, as does the much talked of French pastor Wagner. and seems to have shared this feeling with his people, for simple wild flowers and tendrils were seen there oftener than hot-house bloom.
 While there is no ostentation of wealth in Lincoln Center. there is every indication that the structure Is we'll built And the work has been paid for up to its present progress. there 10 no burden of debt to delay carrying on the work for which the building was erected.
 The first floor is devoted to,a read. ing room. the administration offices. room to be named after Lncolns mother, when completed. and on this floor is the pastors study. The audi torium. which occupies the next two floors, has a seating capacity of nearly 1000. On this floor is what is the pic ture room. where there will be on ex. hibition one notable picture at time. On the fourth floor are club rooms and seminary rooms. The fifth floor will be given over 10 the residential work CTS, serve as home for the pastors family and his helpers. On the sixth floor will be located the gymnasium and domestic science rooms. In . portion of the basement there will be manual training rooms. boys game rooms and quarters for wood carving. clay modelling and kindred arts. This modern "church" has elevator sep- vice
 Jenkin Lloyd Jones preferred to call his new church a center rather than social settlement. although he speaks thus eulosis.ically in reference to the latter phrase: "It has proven a term to conjure by. It represents the most vital, living. sensible expression of CO., operative altruism in the English speaking world today" The word cen- ter seems better to express the union of the religious and social.

The doors stand open not only to all, but all the time to all; Lincoln Center is week day place as well as . Sunday meeting house. The great bare structure is to be the home of club and study class, gymnasium and school, work shop and social center in numberless ways. Mir. Jones says in regard to the choice of the word cen- ter: Believing as do that hymn and prayer and sermon, as expressions Of the devout heart, as exercises of the spirit, are valuable and permanent ele- ments in cooperative religion, look for the new cathedral to be settle ment' without going away from home. with the universal elements of the church enshrined at the core of 1t. And so we venture to call 1t center . center that shall radiate intelli- gence, culture. joy. helpfulness, 'cen- ter to which will gravitate the lonely, the loving. the intellectually hungry. the morally affiuent, the spiritually &C., tive.
 For the specific term we sought name that would carry the connotation of the best and nineteenth century has achieved. We sought a name that be- Ionged to democracy, that had con- ouered the prejudices of aristocracy; . name that at once would be gentle and strong. tender and stalwart: 6 name that had achieved much for liberty. a name that had suffered much for the right. We wanted a name that would radiate benignity. humility. Christ like patience: in short. saint of the new order. martyr of the new day. Such a name we believe Abraham Lin coin to be. and so we dare christen this center of helpfulness. this home of kindness. the academy of life. the Abraham Lincoln Center"

war, youth of IS. After the war was over he studied theology at Meadville. Pa, and was graduated from the Meadville seminary in 1870. After . period of ministerial work in Wiscon- sin he came to Chicago as pastor of All Souls. In 1878 he established a week. ly paper at Unity, and is still it's edi- tor. He was the secretary of the worlds parliament of religions held in Chicago in 1923.
 MT. Jones is hard worker, as is evi. denced by the many activities of his church and by his work in different fields; he is the author of several books and was, and perhaps still is, lecturer of English in the university extension department of the University of Chi. cago. He always has time for . friendly chat with humble parishion. CTS, or a conference with visiting cele. brity. His study classes have at least local fame, and he is mucn in demand as lecturer and reader at the women's clubs. He was the founder of the first Chicago Browning society.
 MT. Jones may be spoken of as pop. ular in the best sense of the word. The term popular preacher has come to stand to some of us for man with forensic ability; MT. Jones has the elo- quence, but he has the catholicity the humanitrianism. whose power is so much greater. He not only invites but also draws to his work many men of many minds.

Mir Cairns and he positively denied any responsibility for it and wanted to know who bought the lot. Mir Scully said the board of education bought the lot, but that they could not have moved a peg on the street question without the assistance of the engineer. Mir Cairns said this was the only logical layout of the street that could be had on account of the plans of streets on the tract south of it. Mir Scully said that was what he claimed from the outset, that he and others were abused for the special benefit of others. This" be added, twas an abuse of authority which no man or party should be al- lowed to repeat"
 Mir Jackson: ''They won't. They were put out after they did that"
 Not all of them,' retorted Mir ScuI- ly.
 In support of his statement that the bureau of engineering had made plans for the street Mir Scully asked Assist Mir Lowndes admitted that he made the with him when he was driving the stakes and say that 1t was peculiar layout of street where there was nothing in the way Of straight one. This was before the school was built. Lowndes admitted that he made the survey. What Mir Cairns objected to then was the inference that there was conspiracy between him and the ex- mayor to do things in that shape. To this Mir Scully replied that he had said nothing about conspiracy. but that he knew both the ex-mayor and the engi- neer exceeded their authority there. It was suggested that the street he aban- doned altogether and one made east of that. The board deferred action on the whole matter and decided to look 1t over.
 Several property owners appeared in favor of a petition for the acceptance of the southerly end of Easton avenue.
 The engineer cal ped attention 10 the installation of new fountain in Ham, ilton park.
 The board adjourned until Thursday afternoon.
