treasurer WORK
IN record time

Report Three Days After
Close of Year
$17,975 ON HAND
ON THE LAST DAY

All records have been broken by
the city treasurer's Office this year
for the early presentation of the an
nual financial report to City Council.
Heretofore the report has not been
presented until September. Il went to
Council last night, however.
Despite the fact that the report has
been submitted in such a short time,
il is one of the most complete re-
ports that has ever been submitted
by the Office.
As shown by the report, which is
practically ready to be placed in the
hands Of the printer, a cash balance
of S1l,20725 remained In banks to
the credit OF the city on June 80,
while the balance in bank at the be-
ginning of the fiscal year on July 1,
1913, was 17,975.40
After the report had been received
and referred to the finance and
printing committees. to be printed in
pamphlet form, President White re-
marked that Council should recog-
nize the good work of the city treas
urer and his assistant in getting out
such a splendid report at such an
early date.
Colonel Stover said he had seen
many reports submitted by the city
treasurer's Office, but the one present
ed last night was the most concise
and clear report he had ever seen.
He said he had gone over It careful
ly. 81 have seen many reports, but
none better than that" he conclud-
ed,
City Treasurer James r. Price and
his assistant, Granville P. Alexander,
we're highly commended by the mem
hers of Council for their prompt
work.
Accompanying the report Of the
city treasurer was the following let
ter from Mr.. Price:
Gentlemen:

orable body this, my first annual
report as city treasurer, for the

our transactions in this Office
We have tried to treat all per-

Lesson Of the Golden Text.
In a very important sense our fore
fathers during the Dark Ages lost tbe
proper conception of Gods character
and of His Plan for human salvation.
instead of picturing Him in the
creeds as loving and gracious. they
portrayed Him in very different col
ors The creeds handed down TO us
from the Dark Ages have given us
colored and distorted views of the
teachings of the Bible. Only in recent
years are Bible students beginning TO
/ discern this fact Nearly all people
/ OF Intelligence have now east awav
J the creeds as irrational in the general
trend of their teaching-in their rep
! fesentation that God from the begin
ning purposed He'll of fire and ever
lasting torture for nearly all His hui
man creatures, numbering thousands
of millions. and a Paradise of bliss
for only an elect few
But alas, while we have been real
izing the errancy of our creeds and
discarding them. many of us have
failed to notice how different are the
teachings of the Bible and have dis
carded il with the creeds Now. how
ever. the Bible is being sought after
again. The colOred creed spectacles
which distorted our view are being
! broken to pieces. We are learning tC
read the Bible in its own clear light
and a blessing proportionately &,
/ coming to us
! Our Golden Text tells us that as
our God is gracious, loving. merciful
kind. even TO the unthankful. even Il
/ the unjust. even TO sinners, so We
I should be kind. generous. loving
should do good unto all men as We
have opportunity, especially. to the
/ Household of Faith. This view oil
God appeals to our hearts. The more
We study this God of Love, the more
We realize that He is the only true
God, and that all our previous mis-
conceptions were unreal, unloving
untrue gods of our own manufacture
--the more do we sec that civilized
lands have been made with pen. ink
and paper, creed idols which were
more horrible than any the heather
ever made OF iron stone. brass or

LABORRRS IN THE VINEYARD.
Matthew 2Oi 1-16-Juiy ).
He maketh His sun to rise ON the
evil and on the good, and sendeth
rain on the Just and on the unjust"
Matthew 5s45.
This parable is dinicult Of interpre-
alton so as to make all its features
ind fulhliment The Great Teacher
gave IL as a parable of the Kingdom:
- ience il applies to the Churchs ex-
periences during this Gospel Age. II
we we're TO apply the different inter
walls to different epochs In this Age,
We should have difficulty; for the
Apostles and others called early In
the Age did not labor throughout the
entire period. Again, in so apply
ing them, we should face the
proposition that only those at the
beginning of the Age had definite
IrOmise as respects a reward; that
all others got merely the assurance
that they would receive what was
right
Another difficulty in interpreting
the parable is how to apply the muir
muring of those who we're first called
and tast rewarded. other Scrip
lures show us that the Apostles and
others first called in the Gospel Age
will experience their resurrection
change before those living at
Christ's second coming ST. Paul
declares that the dead in Christ will
rise first, and that then those of us

Furthermore, It would be unthinkable
that the Apostles and others of the
early Church would murmur at their
reward.
All these difficulties must be borne
IN mind when we attempt to find a
solution to this parable that will lit

whole during the GOsepl Age
II we apply the parable TO indi-
vidual experiences, we have trouble
also. Applying it thus, we might
say that those who began a Christian

ing from the governments servants
money that is Justly due them.
Mr.. Nolan's bill provides that the
minimum pay of classified employees

Whether the provisions of the meas

the increases specified appear entirely
reasonable, and it is hoped the clerks
have friends at the Capitol who will
