MINISTERS PLAN
MORE SERVICES
May Hold Meetings in Church.
eS Each Night During
Passion Week.

Services every night during Pas
sion week, the seven days preceding
Easter. are being considered by the
Ministerial association. The COM
mittee. composed Of Rev. II. l..
Davis, Rev. G.. w. Allison and Rev.
c.. A Decker, that made all of the
arrangements for the three weeks
evangelistic campaign that closed
Sunday night, was instructed TO take
up the matter OF holding a revival
during Passion week, at the Min
isterial meeting at the Y. NJ. c. A.
Monday morning.
Services were discontinued Sun
day night in all but six of the "a
churches in South Bend that took
part in the revival and in all but
two of those in Mishawaka Grace
NJ. +. and Linden av Christian
churches will continue through the
entire week. The First church Of
the Brethren will finish up its work
tonight. River Park NJ e, Grace
Evangelical and the First Brethren
churches will close Wednesday
night. The First NJ. f. and the First
Baptist churches of Mishawaka, will
continue through this week.
Members Of the Ministerial asso-
citation will get no report on the
work accomplished during the re-
vival until after Easter. According
TO Rev. 7. j. Parsons, president OF
the association, it was the idea at
the start of the campaign TO con-
tiRue the work until after Easter.
Between now and that time the min
listers and the various departments
Of the churches will do personal
work among the people. Ii is
thought that in this way accurate
reports can be secured. for it will be
known how many of the converts
will really stay in the church.
That much good work has been
] accomplished as a result of the ser
vices was shown last night wren a
number of pastors announced the
number Of converts. The pastors
were careful to be conseI vative IN
( their enumerations and all expressed
I the belief that the actual figures
would be higher instead of smaller
! uIan those announced.
/ Other ministers stated that they
/ were adverse to giving out figures
as they did not want TO include peo-
4 pie who merely promised to join
/ forces with Christ. but would wait
a few weeks to see what benefit die
result from the meeting.
The figures as announced last
night would list the converts at
about 800. This does not include the
reconsecrations. of which there have
been many.

the date for the completion was set
ahead an extended time. April l, 1917,
was the time fixed in the specifica-
tons than the tank must be finished.
The budget which places something
over 100000 into several funds to be
expended by the city during the ensu-
ing year, was considered. 1t will be
up for adoption a week hence.
The commission did not definitely
decide whether or not Joe Huber
would be given a license to sell drinks
in Huber's garden which is conducted
in the rear of his saloon, 1855 Fifth
avenue. He has asked for license
and the commission thus far has taken
no steps to grant the request. In the
opinion of City Attorney Scott, it is
doubtful if the city could grant the
license and remain within the provis-
ions of the cafe ordinance passed a
few months ago. The matter depends
largely upon what Interpretation the
commission wishes to place on this
ordinance If the policy of the coun-
Gil is to eonstrue the law broadly the
request for the license can be granted.
Fix New Salaries.
The salary ordinance was amended
to include pay for the chief engineer
