was rendered to the congregation by
him last evening. This evening the

very successful in his management o;
the same. His leaving will mean q
great blow to the church members
among whom he was held in the high
est and fondest regard.

Be Placed at West, Rich
mond House.
NO TRANSFER is PLANNED
PLANS FOR BUILDING ARE BEING
PREPARED AND WORK ON THE
STRUCTURE WILL START As
SOON As POSSIBLE.

The west side hose house PROPOSE
ton is considerably agitating the
minds of residents In that section of
the city at present. That the hose
house is assured is now a certainty by
the appropriation of $500 by coun-
Gil. at it's last meeting, for that pur-
pose. But just what equipment will
be placed in the new house is another
question. It has been rumored on nu-
merous occasions that the engine at
No. hose house will be moved to
West Richmond and the city building
simply used as a place for the hook
and ladder wagon. However, Fire
Chief Ed Miller stated emphatically
when asked in regard to this point
that such action would not take place.
He stated that the present No. fire
house would remain just exactly as 1t
is at present. He explained that it
would not be safe to remove the hose
wagon from this house as large sec
ton of the city was dependent upon
It for protection. SIZE.
.,,eaA Modern Wagon.
According to Chief Miller new
hose wagon will be bought for the
west side house, which will be mod
ern and up-to-date in every particular.
A regulation crew of four men will be
installed and the residents of West
Richmond, who have been clamoring
for better fire protection for some
time, will be given the very best. The
house will be centrally located at the
corner of Lincoln and West Fifth
streets. Plans for the new house will
be drawn up Immediately and sub
mitted to the board of works for it's
approval. Bids will then be advertis-
ed for and work on the structure
started as soon as possible. it is said.

Flint Predicts New Relation.

Charles W Eliot, president emeritus
of Harvard. in an address before the
Harvard summer school Of theology
at Cambria O Mass. prophesied the
advent OF a new religion.
ut will not be bound by dogma or
creed" he said. Its workings will be
simple. but ITS field of action limitless.
It's discipline will be the training in
the development of cooperative good
will. II viii attack all forms of evil
There will be no supernatural element
It will place no reliance on anything
but the lave Of nature. Prevention will
be the wa, hword and a skilled sur
geon one of its members"
The coming religion. he thought, will
be based on the two great command
ments. the love of God and the service
of fellow men.
"The new religion" he said. will not
be based upon authority; the future
generation is TO be led not driven. In
the new religion there will be no per
sonifcation Of natural objects; there
will be no dedication of remarkable
human beings.
"The new religion will not teach
that character can be changed quickly.
It will not deal chiefly with sorrow
and death. but with JOY and life.
God will be so immanent that no
Intermediary will be needed. It's
priests will strive 10 improve social
and industrial conditions. The new re-
ligion Will not attempt TO reconcile
people 10 present ills by the promise
Of future compensation"

AFTFR FLYING-WHAT?

The writer comedies that the flying
machines will be used for pleasure

carving trade of earth will still be
confined 10 cars which move on the
earth. and ships which sail the seas.
And then he proceeds to deal with
three other potent natural forces
which the ingenuity of man will pro
coed to harness up and put to work.
He first treats of the rays OF the
sun, and boldly says there Is power
enough derived from such sources to

applied to give all the wing power
that is needed to assure quicker
transit from shore to shore. And what
is true of the craft at sea is equally
true of the car on shore.
The writer then proceeds to touch
upon the mighty power OF the tides OF
the sea. and even in their regular ano
mighty sweep a power beyond the
reach of the mind of man to estimate
with any degree of accuracy And IL
conclusion he tells of the subtle, sub
