Sunday breaches on Reason for Lack
of Spiritual Force.
An audience of 1,100, the largest of
any afternoon congregation of the
week, heard Rev. Mr.. Sunday preach
at the tabernacle Friday afternoon.
He took as his theme the story of
the man with a withered hand whom
Christ found In the synagogue, and
whom he made whole. "This man
whom Jesus found could not do many
things because he had withered hand,
How many people there are who do not
do personal work. Their spiritual lives
are withered. They have no power for
God. Their lives are withered because
they have not been used.
God gives you an opportunity, but
too many lose the chance, because
your life has been withered by not
using 1t for God. Multitudes are going
away from God. Stretch forth thy
hand. There is not a man or woman on
earth whom God has not given a
chance to come to him. BY this meet
ing God is saying stretch forth thy
hand. If you have not done personal
work, if you are not praying, if you
are not testifying do so. God is giving
you a chance.
''There are men and women with
Withered hands in the church today.
Go thru the church and you will see
how many there are. They are only
half man and half woman. They are
no moral support to the preacher. God
will multiply what you have. Bring
your talent or ability-whatever 1t Is
God will increase it and give you pow

,.The society reporter picked up the
following gem, at Madam Brewster's
not twenty-foilr hours ago. One Of her
millionaire customers struggling into a

and labor In this pavement figures
$l.17 per yard, and contractor needs
only 10 cents margin for profit. dis
count. etc. 1t may be presumed that
were the city's specifications opened
wide enough to admit Of such a pave
ment, this contractor on competitive
bidding would come down to Sl.S5. or
even to $3.50. and guarantee same for
seven years. This would mean a saw
ing of over $4,000 to the property
owners as compared to the suggested
price of $1.75 on patened granltoid.
1t was because of the possibility of
getting closer bids that Councilman
Gregory asked the council to agree to
including a crushed gravel pavement
in the specifications by amendment.
This agreement was made in caucus,
as acknowledged to tho T.-R both by
the mayor and by Councilman Good,
but there now seems to be some objec-
ton to keeping the agreement.
Concrete paving with crushed
gravel wearing surface has proved q
success in every way in dozens of large
cities. and was selected by the engi-
neers who built the celebrated Wander
bilt cup course for automobile races on
Long Island. Copies of letters rec
ommending this pavement have been
received by the T.R.. written by may
ors, presidents and boards of public

the Hagenbeck- Wallace Shows, which
exhibit here. Thursday, June 8, are
many Europeans performers who will
be seen for the first time in America.
There are several groups, composed of
artists Of great ability as equilibrists,
who. without the aid Of huge balancing
poles, cavort upon a wire stretched
many feet from the ground. These
clever performers have been lttingly
called spirites Of the air, for the field
Of their operation is on slender and
almost invisible cable, stretched at the
highest point under the dome Of the
tent. On this strand, with a sang froid
beyond conception, they indulge In ex-
ploits that are the marvel of adults of
similar calling and feats that would be
remarkable were they accomplished on
the ground. They verify seem to run,
walk and-d dance in the air.
Besides these, three hundred arenic
champions Of every class participate in
the circus programs.
