gin Big Task Today.

No authority being vested in the
county treasurer to publish list of
the tax payers who are delinquent in
their personal tax assessment, the bu-
reau Of Municipal Research has taken
up the cudgel and is now going over
the tax records of 1908 and making a
list of each delinquent and the amount
of the delinquency. The bureau
probably will publish the list during
the winter IL this is found advisable.
Timothy Nicholson and Prof. N. C..
Heironimus of the bureau were at
work Friday compiling list of the
delinquents. There are SO many and
the amounts SO large that it will re-
quire many days work, 1t is thought.
The bureau is interested in the tax
question, 1t being felt by the members
that Wayne county is not realizing as
much as 1t should. a condition which
makes the tax rates higher
Wherever an owner of real estate
allows the taxes on it to become delin-

newspapers. After a certain time, If
the taxes have not been paid, the sher-
III sells the property for an amount at
least equal to the amount of the tax

is empowered to sell personal prop

There Is need In Richmond for the
coming of the Holy Spirit. This is
the deciaration OF Evangelist Mahy,
who spoke Thursday evening at East
Main Street Friends church on this
subject. To the mind of the evange-
list the climax Of the gospel was not
the resurrection of Christ, as might be
popularity supposed. but it was the
coming of the Holy Spirit. This is
the spirit that is necessary to carry
on the work Of the Lord. This is the
power for action and 1t is the power
that opens up frozen human hearts.
The evangelist referred to that style
'of Christian that spends his time In
the mere contemplation of the cross
The cross Is good to. look upon but
Christ would have us look beyond the
cross into the sin-ridden world, which
Is In need of the action and power
that follows receiving the Holy Spirit
The mere contemplation Of the cross
is sickiy sentimentality that works
little good to, the one engaged in II
and none to the world at large. The
religion that makes its end and aim
the mere contemplation OF spiritual
things Is failure. Whenever the
individual gets into the position that
he merly contemplates spiritual things
he loses his power. The religion oi
Christ calls out every power that we
possess and Christ pronounced a
blessing on the man who heareth and
doeth. Many. in the Christian life are
afraid of failure but the evangelist
declared that. when you are serving
God and relying on the Holy Spirit
there can be no such thing as failure
Wipe Out Man-Traps.
Mr.. Mahy regards the devil as a
definite personality, as he made plain
In previous sermon, and 50 he be
lieves the Holy Spirit has a distinct
and definite personality. He declared
that those who have not the Holy
Spirit have covered their soul with
some sort OF black cloth and he rails
ed the question as to what this cloth
may be.
There is need of the Holy Spirit In
Richmond. the evangelist declared
not only to make the Christian people
an active working force, but also to
wipe out the hell holes. the man-traps
and the boy-traps that exist here. The
coming Of the Holy Spirit would result
In a community that would be engag
ed in serving God instead Of serving
the devil.
AS the union effort is nearing {
close special effort is being made Il
accomplish as much as possible In the
time that remains. A special invita-
tion is extended the young people te
attend this evening and the servict
will be made Of special interest t.
them. Volunteer workers are wanted
among the men o aid in the open all
meetings OF Saturday night. Great au
diencies are expected at the East MAR
Street church Sunday afternoon ant
night.

ing was delivered by the Rev
Thomas Guild and the scripture les
son was read by the Rev. Arthur Gates
There was a general prayer service IL
