CONSIDERING REPLACING THE
HORSES At ONE CITATION
WITH MOTOR VEHICLE.
EXPENSE OF MAINTAINING
TRUCK WOULD BE LEssENED
Motor Vehicle Such as City Would
Need Would csst About 5000. Fully

Fire Wagon carriss-Motor Fire
Truck For Demonstration.

! The city councii is considering the
ACCESSIBILITY of replacing one of the
! fire teams and wagons with a motor
fire truck. Mayor Jones and Council
men Lamb and Herman returned from
Chicago this morning and while there
they spent some time looking at types
Of motor fire trucks ON exhibition at
the automobile show and in use In the
Chicago city fire department.
The cost OF the maintenance of
horses, and The Likelihood of injuries to
the animals, together with the great
efficiency of the motor fire truck are
the principal things that are influence
ing the council that the purchase OF a
motor fire truck would be an economi-
cal investment.
Would Cost About 5000.
The type of truck that would an
swer the needs Of the city department
would cost about $1,000, fully equipped.
Such a track would carry a large guam
tity of hose, ladders, chemicass ana
tools. While it might be the intention

purpose to co this at once. 1t is only
planning that it might be a wise in
vestment to replace the. team and
gon at one Of the stations with a
truck.
Can Be Maintained Cheaper.
The argument in favor of the motor
fire truck as compared with horses ls
that the cost of upkeep would be very
much less, and that it would add prac-
tically the service of one man at times
of fire. This man is now employed 10
drive the team and frequently handle
it when the fire is reached.
The cost of keeping the horses in
condition, to say nothing of feed and
repair Of harness, is heavy. Some Of
this expense has to be incurred merely
TO exercise the horses to keep them in
fit condition.
Another argument in favor Of the
motor fire truck is that it can get to
fire much quicker than the horses. and
that it needs no exercise to keep it in
condition.
A manufacturer of motor fire trucks
will send truck to this city within
few weeks to have it on exhibition and
for the purpose Of demonstration.

UNION REVIVAL MEETINGS.
Rev. Mr.. Ellis Speaks to Uneonvsrtsd
at Service Thursday Night.


The Paptist church was filed last
night for the union revival meetings
and extra chairs had to be used tc
provide for those who were unable to
obtain seats in the pews The inter-
est in the meetings reached climax
last night: several came forward in
response to the appeal at the close OF
the service. Mr.. MCGEE, the pastor
Of the church. read the scripture. and
prayer was offered by Mrs Richard
Wright. The hymn made famous by
the late Ira D. Sankey, There Were
Ninety and Nine" was most impress
sively rendered by Mrs. s. E. Ellis. A
special number by the chorus was
greatly enjoyed.
Rev. Mr.. Ellis took for his subject
1.-THE Worlds Only Hope" and ad-
dressed himself mainly to the uncon-
verted. "The greatest verse in scrip
ture is John 1916" was the speakers
opening statement. 1T Is the worlds
only hope Of whom it speaks. 1t In
PRODUCES us at the outset to Him who,
in the beginning, created all that Is.
No man can adequately define God.
Any attempt in this direction can not
fail to convince man Of his own linn
tied powers Of comprehension. Inc
idea Of God can not be compressed
within the bounds Of definition. The
term world is easily defined. Every
man speaks Of hts world. One mans
world is his club, another mans world
is his lodge, and another mans world
is his. church These men can see
nothing that is not embraced in these
respective institutions. But Gods
world Is as infinite as God himself.
1t is all inclusive. All the nations
belong to God. People Of every race
and tongue belong to him, and his di-
vine purpose makes provision for them
all. The word which God uses to ex-
press this grand idea is the whatsoever
of the text. Mans little world must
be swallowed up in Gods great world.
Or, the spirit Of Gods great world
must be diffused thru mans little
world. To accomplish this Is the func-
ton Of divine love. When the love
Of God has made It's final appeal to
man, man must be caught up by 1t
into God. or forever lost. We call upon
the love Of the mother for her children
and the love Of the wife for her hus-
bnd and the love Of the patriot for his
country to help us understand zoo 8
love. An great as these are they can
not express 1t but in part. But the
love of Christ perfectly reveals the
love of God. Christ on the cross is
the eternal witness Of the love OF
God for lost world. Mans word is
get. Gods word rs give. God has
done everything for man that God
could do. Mans part is to avail him.
self Of the provision that God has made
for him. Man is able not to commit
himself to Gods plan. He is able to
spurn it and thrust It aside. God can
not compel him to accept 1t. Christ.
the gift OF Gods love, is the way. II
man refuses to accept Christ. he must
perish" -.
The meetings for this week will close

Another notable feature Of the
campus is the Soldiers Monument,
which has the distinction Of being,
next to- the Gettysburg monument,
the Oldest Of its kind in the United
y States. During the Civil War all
the men Of this school, with the
exception of one who was too young

The founding OF the institution

Mr.. Henry Carter conceived the idea
that Hopkinton should have an in
stitution Of higher learning. a
building was started in 1856, but
was not completed until 1859, al

Bowen Collegiate Institute. Mr..

control was given over to the Pres
! byterian Synod, which gives it the
distinction of being the oldest Pres
byterian College in the state. From
\ the days of its foundation to the
present time the school has main
tanned a steady growth in all Tines

acres devoted to the Agricultural De-
