A PRAISE MEETING
HELD THIS EVENING

Jehovah is God of love, mercy and
justice, Rev. H. D. Kennedy stated
in an interesting discourse before
large audience at the revival meeting
in the First NJ. E. church last evening.
His text was taken from the sixth
chapter of the epistle to the Romans:
The wages of sin are death, and the
gift of God is eternal light The
evangelist issued a warning to self
willed people that no matter how good
they might be, they must use care in
overcoming this evil. for persons OF
that temperament easily become con
science-dead," and resist all good in
fluences. This evening a special ser
vice of praise will supplant the regu-
lar revival meeting and Rev. Kennedy
and Rev Radcliffe will occupy the pull
pit, jointly.

For this reason. it's report to the direc-

of the club officials will be needed to
allow them TO proceed.
The otheE project, the proposed

AN INVESTIGATION
ASKED OF COUNCIL
Hospital Trustees Write to
City Clerk Courting a
Thorough Probe.

City Clerk BeScher received letter
Memorial hospital this morning saying
that the hospita. board would welcome
an investigation of the accounts and
the management of the institution.
Following the report on hospitals, COM
pairing the local institutions with those
of other cities, submitted to council at
its last meeting by Councilman Wal
dele, a called meeting was held by the
board November @28, and the report
was duly presented. John H. johnson,
secretary of the board of trustees,
was instructed to ask council to ap-
point an Investigating committee to
look over the books and other matters
pertaining to the hospital.
Secretary Johnson suggests the
councilman from the Seventh ward,
Frank L. Waidele, as chairman of this
committee.
There is nothing in our accounts or
concerning the management of the
hospital in any way that the board of
trustees is not entirely willing your
body or any citizen should know" the
letter to the clerk reads
The letter will be presented to coun-
Gil at it's next regular session. Monday
night, and it is likely that commit.
tee will be appointed at that time.
Some city officials believe that in.
asmuch as most of the councilmen are
too busy to act upon such commit
tee that an expert accountant
should be employed to look into the
books of the institution, to ascertain
if the charges of mismanagement are
true.
Councilman Waidele's report caused
considerable friction in council at the
time of it's presentation. Mr.. Waid
ele said that he presented the report
/ in good faith and had spent some time
in collecting the facts contained in
it.
The report states that other hospi
tails are operated on paying basis
and that the Reid hospital is not a
self-supporting institution. The re
port explained how the hospital could
be placed on a self-sustaining and pay
ing basis.
