in the hands of imperfect men, the

shorn of its power In the eyes of the
world the church is what we are and
is doing what we do, and is there

order it. He planned a perfect organ

vine Founder and foundation" gave
it a "Divine Mission" and gave it a
Divine Name" Imperfect man has
never been satisfied with these and
different groups of men have depart
ed in various ways from Gods intend

best to preserve the God given per-

In Christ, we have our perfect
ideal. He taught us by precept and
example how we should live. He was

generous Louise was in return. And
now she was to stand on a shelf for

rafting about in the hollow of her

So Grace learned a good lesson and

MARKHAM MOVES
FOR REVOCATION Of
DEAD LETTER RULE
Engineer Commissioner Asks
Removal of Order Affect
ing Engineers.

Revocation OF the police regulation
requiring that operators of gas and
gasolene engines be licensed was recon-
mended today by Acting Engineer Com
missioner E. NJ. Markham. The recon-
mendation probably will be adopted by
the Commissioners.
While the regulation has been in
force for four years, its provisions have
not been enforced, according to Major
Markham. as no examinations of oper-
ators have been made by the board Of
operators licenses granted. Usually
where gasolene engines are installed, 1t
Is stated, they are operated by licensed
steam engineers in connection with
steam boilers.
Recent investigation by the subcom-
tnittee OF The House District Committee
which IL investigating the District 5
method of purchasing supplies, dis
closed the fact that the janitors VIII ,
operate gas engines in the public schools
are not licensed. The statement Is
made by Municipal Architect Ashford
that the engines have been injured by
reason OF the fact that the janitors
were not competent to properly care
for them.
In view of this Major Markham recon-
mends that the Board of Education be
informed that 1t is the intention to re-
woke the regulation, at the same time
the operators Of gas engines in the pub
lie school buildings to establish their
competency before the board of exam
iners of steam engineers.
