CTS above the wracks of time because it comes from Him Who is true. Men are receiving the word of God in it's unaduiterated purity or are turning it down completely. Any preaching built upon the Christ can never change
 Jesus Christ is changeless in His moral influence over men. The church wants 6 revival. We want an infusion of the Christ to come to those who are forgetting Him. The great plan of salvation has never been amended so far as I know. There mas been no age when the Influence of Christ has not been exerted. Though the founda4ions of the earth are moving. Thou shalt endure, Thou art the same, Thy years shall have no end. He is near to every one of us. If there is something for which we ought to be thankful it is that there is something permanent, and that one thing permanent is our Saviour, Jesus Christ.

The Change less Christ and the text, Jesus Christ the same yesterday today and forev- CT. Is there still something to which we car pin our faith. he asked. The characteristic of all things human is change. There is nothing in all crea- ton the same as it was yesterday or will be tomorrow The only things un- changeable are principles, moral at tributes, truth and justice. This text supports the divinity and the Son ship of Jesus.
 Jesus Christ is changeless in His ability and disposition to relieve hu- man wants. We are saved if we have Jesus Christ and we must have Him. This is as true as human want itself. The Great Shepherd is seeking today His sheep on the hills of moral degrad ation. The morally. physically and the spiritually infirm are still standing at the gate and hear the words.

A BIG SUCCESS
Firemen's Ball Drew Good Crowd
Last Friday Evening

The annual firemen's ball held at
the Masonic home last Friday even
ing drew a good sized crowd in spite
of the counter attractions in the
shape of championship basket ball
games, lectures, etc, and reports are
that the large crowd enjoyed itself
to the limit.
The affair netted the firemen and
the Red Cross of Alma tidy little
sum of money, which was split fifty
fifty. The ladies of the Red Cross
did the hustling with the firemen this
year in selling tickets, which prob
ably accounts for the sale being far
larger than in former years.
Over two hundred and fifty dollars
was taken in, of which the ladies of
the local red cross received about
one hundred twenty five dollars,
which will go toward the purchase
Of yarns. etc, and eventually reach
the soldiers at the front, meaning
that the ball was more important
than usual.

PROPOSITION WILL
GO TO THE VOTERS
Council Will Recommend That
Alma Support Increase TO
BE Asked in April.

The voters Of Alma, Ithaca, st.
Louis and Breckenridge viii probably
be called to vote upon a raise OF about
fifteen cents per thousand feet in the
charge for gas at the coming spring
election, following the meeting of the
council Monday night, at which time
the council went into the matter
thoroughly and came TO the conclu-
sion that the gas company needed a
higher rate if it is to continue in bus
mess much longer.
At this time 4 committee was ap-
pointed to meet with similar commit
tees from ST. Louis, Ithaca and Breck-
enridge in regard to the matter, and
arrange the details, so that the prop
osition may be put before the people
in each Of the four places in the right
light.
The city council here realizes that
the company must have assistance,
and is ready to extend any assistance
which it can, and hence the proposed
submission to the voters here OF 4
slightly higher rate for gas to con-
tinue until normal conditions return,
at which time the voters will again
have chance to express themselves
on the matter.
1t was gathered from the tone of
the meeting Monday night that the
council here is ready and willing to
officially boost the matter of the pro-
posed raise in rates by recommending
that the voters of the city pass favor
| ably on the matter when it is sub
mitted to vote at the April elections.
The council has gone into this mat
ter thoroughly and realizes the need
of the concern which is steadily los
ing money at the present time, and
feels that such public utility should
have the aid and support of the peo-
pie of the community.
