the ~advisability of petitioning the al

not only half of it. AS a result of
their conference it was decided TO
consult with the city fathers Monday
night.
1t was intended by the aldermen TO
pave Laurie street only as far as

there is no sewer system. The per-

they proved they possessed the GER
~tificates by presenting them for in
Spection this morning. But this did
not exempt them from a fine. There
were several men who declared that
they had their licenses with them
when inspectors demanded to see
them. but had not been able to dis
cover the cards on h spot. One man
proved his theory so conclusiyely,

Anyone who fails to attend at least
n of the mission services being held

miss something really worth while, is
the opinion of those who have already
heard Rev. Frederick A. Warden. Mr..
Warden has a stirring message which
is delivered in a forceful manner; his
hearers are helped and inspired by
his words.
Last night the sermon was the Sec
ond or the prodfgal son, the mission
er dwelling particularly on the phrase,
Then he came to himself" He show
ed that no matter how far one has
wandered from the church or how
riotous has been ones living it is still
possible to come to ones self and re-
turn to the Father.
Tonight the missioner will dwell on
what happened after the young man
returned to the home of his father.
The question box continued to be an
interesting feature of the mission. The
inspiring congregational singing led by
the choir adds much to make the eve
ming profitable. The services are held
every afternoon at 4 o'clock and eve
ming at s o'clock.
