Joint Session Was Fiery Fnancers Being Charged With
Effort to Block Legislation and With Failure to
DO Duty..SOme SHARP Talk

on November 4th. Dr. Williams came
back with the statement that one had
been with the Finance Committee for
eleven months.
When the Committee on Poor is
coming to the Finance Committee to
ask favors." said Chairman Wood, of
the latter, st is in bad grace to critil
cizc us after seeking these iavors."
This brought Mr.. Julius A. Hobson
to his feet. I'VE are not asking your
Finance Committee for any favors or
any money" he declared. This Is
matter which concerns the welfare of
the people OF Richmond. The Council
has the final word. not you"
To Take Cure of DIR. Trevllinn.
The question as to when the ordi-
nance creating the visiting staff should
go into effect was the occasion for
other outbursts. DIR. Williams said that
his committee had been under the i'm
preston that DIR. Trevilian was in
favor Of the plan. and had so stated
| to a subcommittee. "Afterward," he
said, ~ heard DIR. Trevilian was oppos-
7 ing it. When / asked him about it he
said we ought not to legislate him out
iot Office
Alderman Mitchell threw a little elo.
lquence into the proceedings. IF this
loINiH@llCe goes INTO erect at once.
he said, "Dr. Trevilian will resign, and
lit might not be possible fer the ply
i sicians to take up the work"
DR.. Williams and DR.. Taylor assured
him, however. that he need have no
fear OH that score. Then Mr.. Mitchell
paid some tributes to DR.. Trevilian
Mr.. Graham Hobson said that the
payment or non payment of paltry
salary should not stand in the way of
medical and surgical attention for the
poor.
Seemed to Doubt Physicians.
| Finally the amendment, making the
new plan effective on July 1st, was
adopted. along with the Pollock amend
i ment, providing that the physicians
should be required by ordinance to do
that which they had already agreed to
do by The solemn promise which q
4 physician always regards. In its
amended form the ordinance went to
4 Council, with the dissenting vote of
i Alderman Dabney. The other meas.
| ures were held back for another meet
/ ing.
The point of the whole matter was
/ that some members of the Finance
i Committee did not seem to think tina,
the plan, as indorsed by the med cal
profession of Richmond, was best, ap-
parently believing that the doctors
merely wanted a field for practice.

''The Wards of the State" was the
subject of Governor Deneen's address.
He dwelt on the extraordinary number
of persons who are dependent upon the
state for support in its various char
liable and penal institutions. He also
called attention to the fact that the
number is increasing at an astonishing
rate each year. He estimated that
about $4,000 persons in all are now
cared for in these institutions in the
state of Illinois.
In discussing the conditions in the
insane asylums of the state, Governor
Deneen made the startling statement
that an average of about $50 persons

philanthropic work within the church
and the growing need of more young
men and young women to consecrate
their lives in this noble calling.
He traced the growth and develop
ment of philanthropic work since the
days of the apostles and showed that
| all charitable institutions have had
their rise in the Christian church and
through the influence which it has ex-
erted on mankind For this reason he
held that the church can never aban-
| don entirely to the state the charge of
| this work He held that ministers of
| the gospel should take the initiative
in furthering and encouraging work of
| this nature
Talks of Qualifications.
Rev. Mr.. Sodergren spoke on "The
Minister of the Gospel as Priest of
the New Covenant" He dwelt on the
requirements that needs must be filled
| by a true priest of the new covenant.
"The first requirement" said Mr..
Sodergren, sis that he should be a
Christian-not nominal Christian, but
a real one. Pity the candidate for Or
dination whose only knowledge is in
theology and doctrine!
1--WE may be gaining time these days,
but we are losing eternity. A minister
of the gospel can well afford to be be-
hind the times, but he cannot afford
to be behind the providence of God.
"As a second requirement of a true
minister, / would hold forth a genuine
spirit of prayer. We have too little of
this true spirit in our pulpits today.
Lastly, would say, is the duty of
preaching the gospel of the Lord, Jesus
Christ. The sole object should be
Jesus and Him crucified' The word
Of God should be the only source of
inspiration Our theological heaven
and our scientific earth will pass away,
but the word of God will meyer pass
