Mrs. Mary Hubert Munford of Phla-
delphia. who is conducting the ch3ir at
the revival 3services at Grace Baptist
Church. 9th and South Carolina avenue
southeast. is quoted as Saying: There
will be no music in hell. hence all music
belongs to heaven. The devil has stolen

into perdition. Let US restore what he
has stolen, and by the notes of inspiring

In addition to the cooperation of many
of the local ministers who assist Rev.
Thomas Harrison. evangelist many prom

sufficient interest and merit to attend

Mr.. Harrison gives straight talks--what
may be termed heart-to-heart talks. He
enjoys the ability and the distinction of
convincing men. He says:
There's hope for any man who realizes
the need of self-imprOvement. Christ
knows all Your weaknesses, all your
struggles and temptations. Let Christ
take supreme control. A life of inward

not?'
Mr.. HarrisOn's pleading is sympathetic

AS TO LOCAL SCHOOLS
ACTION BY COMMITTEE OF THE
BOARD OF TRADE.

Two resolutions bearing OF the public
school situation in the District were given
consideration last evening by the school
committee of the Washington Board of
Trade. One of the resolutions was adopt
ed and the other was laid upon the table
for further consideration.
The resolution adopted recites that "the
president of the Board Of Trade be. and
he is hereby. requested to appoint COM
mfttee of three members to appear before
the District of Columbia committees of
Congress in support of the resolution
adopted by the Board of Trade. January
II. 1905. relating to proposed legislation
affecting the schools of the District
The other resolution, that failed OF
passage by a very narrow margin. 1t is
explained. was offered by Sidney L. Bes-
selevre. It's purport was to give the. com
mittee latitude to accept part of the Dol
liver bill with the appointing power vested
the entire school system of the District
should be vested under local control. Ii
was further explained that there Is al
ready in existence a well-orsaniZed and
satisfactory form of government under
the District Commissioners. and the COM
mttee believed the public school matters
should be vested in that government.
Inexpedient to Change Law.
1t was the sense of the school commit
tee that il is ineXpedient to change the
school law at This time. and it was con-
sidered opportune to express to Congress
its disapproval of any Legislation that
would remove the school system from
local control. \ number of parliamentary
efforts were made to smother the Bes-
selievre resolution. An effort was also
made to have ii referred to the subcom-
mittee on administration. This was OPP
posed by the mover of the resolution. On
all the different motions for the disposi
ton OF the resolution the vote showed;
that the committee was pretty evenly di
vided. an appeal rom the decision of the
chair receiving u tie vote.
1t was said that it was evident.
while the committee did not act on the
proposition to give the special committee
TO go before Congress any latitude, that
the board of directors of the Board Of
Trade have authority to give the commit
tee such latitude is the committee may
desire. and that the directorate may ap-
point such d committee and not necessa-
rily from the membership of the school
committee. 1t was the opinion of some OF
the members that the board of directors
would give the committee such latitude.
Herbert F. L. Allen. vice chairman OF
the school committee. presided last even
ing, and there was large attendance
of members.
