Subject of Lecture
DIR. HOUSE GIVES INSPIRING
TALK-TONIGHT HE WILL
SPEAK ON HEALTH.

/ DR.. House spoke three times yester-
/ day at the Methodist church, and
reached the climax last night when
he spoke on Love " In some respects
his afternoon lecture was most
unique, The symphony OF Life" He
said: Every mans life is a SYM
phony Of some kind. 1t should be Of
the best. Every man sings a song OF
some kind and the song he sings gives
him his rating in the world Why
some men go up and why some men
go down is known when we know a
mans song. The world is very quick
to sense a man. And a song witnesses
to the truth as nothing else in the
world. Profession is not so much as
practice. Some men pray on Sunday.
and prey on Monday and the rest of
the week. Two kinds of song ought
TO he avoided, the song that is set TO
rag time and the song that is off the
key. This is a rag tirae age, but the
music that lasts is the kind that has
some great thought and purpose
back Of it, When men have no high
er thought than a good time or just
their business; when women think Of
nothing but the next party or the lat
est fashion. they both are singing to
the Observation-Disclosures" And
what lot Of people are off the key;
They are rushing roughshod over
their fellows, and are not much more
than rasping files and crosscut saws.
The man who grips and is beloved. is
the man who sings on the key-makes
his life helpful, good and inspiration

year is already under way, Recorder
Fitz Gerald being engaged in getting

ihe city levy will be higher thHh for
the past few years because of the
elimination Of liquor licenses as a
source of revenue.

only S51.72t25. The same levy
would yield more this year because
of the increase in the property valu'
