SPEAKS ON " POWER OF GOD"
Rev. J. T. Stone Delivers Strong Ad'
dress in lenten Service.

The MONDAY Lenten services this
week will be in charge OF the Rev.
John Timothy Stone, pastor OF the
Fourth Presbyterian church, OF Chica-
go. The subject OF DR.. Stones ad-
dress on Monday was the Power of
God"
Nothing is so much in demand In
these times said he, "as power in the
commercial world; in every activity OF
life this is true. Power is something
that we cannot define but through its
effects we can see and know 1t The
Christian religion Is religion or
supernatural power, but this super
natural power works in conjunction
with the laws OF natural power. God
has given to men and women the pow
er TO be useful for good, but only in
sofar as they are in relation TO the
infinite ability. God Is using US as
instruments, as transmitting agents
for the accomplishments OF his works.
The first question that We ask
about a man nowadays Is has he
personality? is another term for pow
er. In this emphasis OF personality
there is a great danger unless the per-
sonality is under the divine power,
unless the human agent becomes the
expression OF God
The kind OF men we are looking
for I'm this world, the Kind OF men who
exert an influence for good are the
men whose little boys say My father
is a Christian man. not merely those
who hear him pray in meeting.
The question that is asked, OF the
church today is what is its power?
Not It's history or form or inherit
ances. but its efficiency for good. The
reason why the power OF God Is not
exerted more in our lives is because
other things, good in themselves.
crowd il out. The better Is the worst
enemy OF the best. In the social, bust
ness and in the ordinary life OF all the
great cities there is a great need for
the power OF God.
d. Stone is an earnest, forceful
speaker and made strong impress
sion upon his audience.

KNOCKS HALLY's OPINION.
Tax Limit Dietum Won't Stand, Says
Controller.

Il do not think that the city can do
business within the appropriation
limits laid down in Corporation Coun-
sci Hallys opinion. Saturday" said
Controller Heineman, Monday. Like
wise think that the opinion will not
hold water.
There are items such as street
opening and grade separation awards
that cannot be reduced, and there are
public Improvements that are abso-
lutely imperative, which will force the
city appropriations up above the 20
mill limit
1T is an absurdity to say that the
amount raised by bonds must be
taken out OF the appropriation limit.
Bonds are levy on future years, not
on the present year, and | think the
supreme court will hold that way, bu,
II may be too late for this years
