JORDAN ADVlSfS
 NOI TO RESIST
 ChRlSl'S POWER
Soll of God Attracts Men Dy Love, Says Minister to
 Rig Audience.

The meetings al the First Christian church are increasing in power if re~ sponses to he invitation are an indi- cation. There have been additions to the church at every service for the last five nights, besides the ones who responded before that. Last night a good audience greeted the evangc- lists. After a spirited song service, MT. SaXton sang beautiful solo while Mrs. SaXton played the violin obligato.
 Mrs. Saxton's violin playing and MT. SaXton's singing are adding much to the meeting and helping many to be- come more interested in the Christian life.
 Dr. Jordan spoke last night OF the text was John 12;32. And if I be lifted up I will draw all men unto me"
 "The drawing power of Christ said Dr. Jordan, "ccnsists in the fact that He is the ruler of the world. God has given all power into his hands A change in the administration of the government of the world took place when Jesus ascended to the Father Christ draws because he makes the in vitation universal. It is now for few but for all men. He is drawing power because he bestows great bless ings upon all men.
 "This drawing power is dependent upon the cross, and the resurrection. Christ's death removed all obstacles from the salvation of man. Christ draws through the church. He draws net by musty theological doctrines but by the simple story of the love of God. The death of Christ commands atten- tion. When but baby in the manager in Bethlehem he was able to draw shepherds from their flocks, wise men from the East and angels from the throne of God.
 "We ought not to resist this drawing power. Let Christ draw us unto him and God and we will be happy"
 Tonight the subject of the sermon will be, "A Panic at Heavens Gate.'

after looking into the matter ! find
that this money is given only after
very careful investigation by a COM
mittee appointed by the French gov
eminent. This committee not only
sees to the paying over of the moeny
but in addition gives the child gener-
al supervision. 1t is my belief that
one of the most vital points of this
method of giving assistance is the
personal element involved. 1t is true
the French child needs money to care
for its very life, but it needs also your
sympathy and encouragement in their
most trying of all times. IL we could
only know what it means to French
child to get even postcard with only
a few words of good cheer all of US

wrote in part:
we cannot afford to rely upon
S4,OOO,000,000 only for taxation. be-
cause we shall then have to rely upon
raising $20,000,000,000 by loans. This
would be surrender to the policy Of
high-interest rates and imitation, with
all their evil consequences.
If we are to preserve the financial
strength ofathe nation we must do
sound and safe things no matter
whether they hurt our pockets or in
volve sacrifices-sacrifces of a rela-
lively insignificant sort compared with
those our soldiers and sailers are max
ing to save the life of the nation.
The sound thing to do unquestion-
ably is to increase taxation, and the
increases should be determined upon
promptly and made effective at the
earliest possible moment"
The secretary's recommendations
briefly are that one-third ESTIMATED
at $S,OO0,000,0O0) of the cash expendi-
lures made during the fiscal year end
