The State Central Savings Bark En-
Iarges Its Capital Stock From
100000 to 100000.

increase their capital stock from

ALL MEN LIKE
TO HAVE POWER
Or. J. w. Potter Interests Large Con-
gregatIon Last Night Speak
ing Of Weaknesses.
Communicated. !

The preacher at the union services
last evening was Rev. J.. w. Potter.
He took as his text "Ye shall receive
Power when the Holy Ghost is upon
you.' He said in part: All men de-
sire power. 1t makes its appeal to all
alike. We desire it though we may
not understand it's nature, or all it's
possibilities. We desire power. but do
We want it for the mere sake Of pos
session, or SO that we may use 1t?
Many Christians desire power, but
they will not pay the price for it. II
the Divine power comes to us, there
are some things it will do for us.
1t will help lis to overcome circum-
stances. Ingersoll once said that we
we're all like billiard balls on the
table, and that the whole world was a
game, with fate playing, and often
she forgot to chalk the cue. This was
an excuse for weaknesses and it
was made by many men. In some
cases they blamed heredity, and in
some cases the circumstances BY
which they were surrounded. These
things were not to blame, because we
could all Of us receive power to over
come them
We should have power to overcome
self Often a man is his own worst en-
envy In preventing us from living the
christian life in its fullness we need
not blame our neighbors, and we need
not blame our family. The man who
IS most to blame is the man who
walks under our own hat. A man says
something that he regretted, and
made the excuse that he lostscontrol
ol himself. That is what the man says
", VINO lifts his fist, and smites the blow
me man says that after he has pull
ed MS gun. But there should be such
q victory over self, that we are not in
Hanger Of losing our self control

Lower Berth 1871


Lower Berth 49, termed the new
musical rumble. with it's gayly capris-
oned chorus, catchy musical numbers
and clever comedians, singers and
dancers will be seen at the Grand
opera house on next Monday evening.
Lower Berth 49, comes here di-
rect from the Whitney opera house,
Chicago, where it enjoyed a run OF
more than four months.
Ordinarily but one person occupies
berth. With this attraction however,
it seems that the entire theatregoing
public of Chicago tried to get aboard
this vehicle. 1t has one of the longest
records to its credit and is soon
bound for Broadway where 1t will be
seen at an early date.
Fetching musical numbers, book
full of snappy and clever lines and
quips and new scenic production
elaborate in every detail go far to
wards making Lower Berth 10" one
of the brightest joy dispensers of the
season. 1t is musical comedy, keo
kuk's favorite, and the Grand should
be packed next Monday evening.
