BUSINESS AT
MORNING SESSION

This mornings session of the Chesa-
peake Conference Of the Seventh Day
Adventists in the First Church, Rowland

devoted mostly to committee business.
Professor B. G. Wilkinson, OF Washing
ton. d. c.. is president Of the Columbia
Union Conference, which includes the
STATE conferences of Ohio. Pennsylvania,
Maryland, Delaware, Virginia, West Nir-
ginia, New Jersey and the District Of

Last night Elder h. T. Baer, president
of the conference, delivered a very plain,
pointed address to a deeply interested
congregation, concerning the second COM
ing of Christ lie said in part:
Christ is coming and coming soon
TO put an end to the reign of sin His
coming cannot be delayed much longer
Tor the prophecies found in the Bible
relative to His second advent all indi-
cate that the end of all things is at
aand. Christ said that He would come
again. 4 will come again are His
words, John IA: 3. But this time it
will not be to a manger and a life Of
sacrifice and suffering and a shameful
death on the cross. No, He is COM
ing in power and great glory. M-tt
25: 81. His appearance will be
brighter than the sun as He returns
10 this earth. covered with the glory of
His Father. His own glory and the
glory of all the billions of angels;
what mind can grasp the glory of the
scene? And at that time will Christ
be ashamed of those who are ashamed
Of Him now? This is our Saviour's
teaching, and the teaching thai Sew
enth Day Adventists hold before the
Leople OF all the nations on earth. The
first Adventist minister is still alive.
He was born more than 1000 years
ago. His name was Enoch. He was
translated and taken into the presence

execute judgment upon ALL Jude IA {:

CITY WITHOUT MONEY
TO IMPROVE avenue

At the meeting of the Street and
Sewer Department this morning Pres
ident George w. Sparks agreed with
the complaint made by the police de-
partment TO the condition of paving at
Seventh and Market streets. The COM
plant is made by the police because
Of the bad place upon which the traf-
fic officer has to stand in the perform
ance of his duties President Sparks
said be agreed with the complaint as
il was a bad place for a man TO have
to stand. The complaint was referred
to Street Commissioner Pierson.
The following complaint was re-
ceived from Irene DUPONT about the
condition of Pennsylvania avenue
from Rodney street TO the b. and o.
Railroad:
Gentlemen: Am taking the
liberty Of calling your attention
to the condition of Pennsylvania
avenue from about Rodney street
to the b. and o. crossing. particu-
larly to suggest that the trouble
has not been due to lack of effort
in keeping the macadam repair
ed. but is due 10 the fact that
traffic has gradually become so
heavy that ordinary macadam can
not stand under IT. and that there
fore il might be true economy TO
lay some more resistent form of
paving.
use Pennsylvania avenue a
great deal and believe that others
who use IL would apprecite a
smoother surface as much as
would.
Yours very truly,
Irene DUPONT.
President Sparks told Secretary
Christy to inform Mr. DUPONT that the
board was aware of the needs of the
street and would like to know where
to get the money to do the work of
improving the conditions.
The financial statement shows a bal
ance in bank to the credit of the cur
