MUSIC AND PRAYER

SAYS CHURCH NOT A DRUG

Chicago. Dec. 21.-Rev Joseph A

gregatlona Church, 25S5 Michigan
avenue, startled his congregation with
these declarations in his sermon yes
tcrday morning on The Common
Sense Church. the first of a series o.
seven sermons on Common Sense Re

Rev. Mr.. Milburn discussed church
music at length and his discourse on

few years ago. As these two
sites were somewhat remote and
would have the disadvantage OF
being out of public view most of
the time, the ladies of the party
were not particularly impressed with
them. They thought very favorably
of having the monument located in
the vicinity of the Santa Fe reading
room and club house where it would
be inspected by thousands of pass
ing travellers. none of whom would
be any the wiser as to whether il
was exact or not. These three sites
were taken under consideration and
one of them will be select
