the idea Of righteousness Is prevalent
as a basis for petition. In the synop-
tic Gospels the emphasis is placed on
faith or belief. but here an additional
element enters ln-"in my name"

on together they may be looked at as
mountain range Of truth. with sew

peak Is the believers future prospect.

first Of rhe future prospect? Because
u occupies the first place as an as

Believers Position and Power.
The next peak in this mountain
range Of truth may he called the be-
levers position. II is seen in the para
bile of the vine and the branches. Our
Lord is not merely a friend influencing
us from without, but life force With
in. II am the vine. We are the
branches" "Christ liveth in me-" "For
me TO live In Christ" "Ye In me. and
| In you" This describes our posi-
tion. We are in Christ. and this truth
makes possible all the spiritual priv
ileges of the believer. AS shout OF
triumph the apostle cries: BLESSED
hs hA TO of n nrI
Jesus Christ. who hath blessed us with
all spiritual blessings in heavenly places
In Christ" The present position as
well as the future prospect of the
Christian believer Is glorious. and con-
tributes TO perfect and perpetual peace
Of heart.
The third peak is the believers pow
er. which Is closely associated with the
work of the Holy Spirit. II will pray
the Father. and he shall give you an.
other Comforter" "He shall teach you
all things" HE shall testify of me-"
"He will guide you into all truth"
He will show you things to come"
"He shall glorlfy me-" This work Of
the Holy Spirit gives spiritual power
to the believer. The measure of this
power Is dependent on, and determined
by, faith. Now Christ Is the object
Of faith. AS the Holy Spirit makes
Christ real to the believers heart. so
faith triumphs. and power to under
take and achieve is developed. As a
consequence. the believers peace flows
like river overcoming all obstacles

IS SHE STILL alive?

For over four years young
Greek in America had not heard
from his aged mother, who lived
in Constantinople. Eagerly he
watched the mails for a letter.
Month after month he sent her
money for food and clothing, but
never knew whether she received it
or not. Four years passed without
word from his dear old mother
and he was frantic with grief and
despair. Then the war ended and
he fastened home on the first boat
that sailed for Constantinople to
find out if his mother was still
alive.
The terrible strain of the war
has affected nearly everyone.
American fathers and mothers
have suffered in silence. waiting
day and night for some word from
their boys far away in the army.
Thousands of foreign-born Amer
leans have waited in vain for a
letter from their father. mother,
sister or brother across the sea in
War-torn Europe. Grief gripped
heir hearts when they thought OF
heir loved ones cold, hungry and
iespairing amid their ruined homes
md the graves of their dead.
How could they laugh when they
we're sick at heart? How could
they help grieving as day after day
went by and no letter came. The
mother, whose son was grievously
wounded and at the point of death
somewhere in France. could not &c
TO her boy. She could but wait
ald pray for him.

Hard Workers.
The workers, 145 of them, at the
grounds, are outside most of the
day, working on construction tasks
or storing the war material. They
dress warmly and seem not to mind
the cold. Although secluded and
away from entertainment Of any
considerable variety, they make
the best of their lot. In this way

one Of the drivers to the writer,

coming today, and l thought that's

carriages and limbers, (576 pieces),
so motor repair trucks, necessary
store wagons, two horse battery
wagons and six-horse carts, and
| miscellaneous rolling stock. The
same amount, for eight other di-
visions, is to be sent within a short
time to Rock Island arsenal, so
that at these two places the equip
ment for 16 divisions of the army
will be in storage.
In Committee.
The question of appropriations
for the new ammunition storage
project is at present in the hands
of a committee of congress in
Washington.
! Savanna proving ground is a
great project now. With the in
crease contemplated by the build
ing Of 100 storehouses, placed along
sidetracks from the Burlington
main line, where the majority OF
the ammunition ready for use by
! the army is to be stored, it will be-
come an immense proposition.

THEY ARE
GOING TO
START It
Hammond People Won't Be-
IieVe Their Own Eyes They
See Holman St. Work Begun

Now just be patient. folks; they are
going 10 repair South Holman street
this year. They're going to start
work in a couple Of days. providing
something doesn't turn up TO delay
matters as usual.
Not long ago the Hammond Board
OF Works announced that the contract
had been let for the repair OF the
street. Everyone wanted to yell with
JOY. Time has slipped by and the
work which was 10 have started a
week ago has been delayed and de-
layed. But nevertheless it's going to
start sooner or later.
That street is a disgrace to any
sciviIized community" said Dave Emery
cashier of the First Trust & Savings
Bank today as his neck began 10 get
red when some one mentioned the
city's principal thoroughfare.
1T makes a fellow feel proud OF
his city" continued Mr.. Emery. when
he picks up an automobile route book
and finds that the road markers are
avoiding his place because Of the con-
dition Of the streets. Why sometimes
they even put IN warning TO avoid
the city It's a. fine advertisement 10
have circulated all over the United
States
Mr. Emery was aroused. If the
city IS going to save the pavement and
the expense OF putting down a new
one something should be done ~
once" he said. 1T looks to me as
though ninety per cent of the pave
ment is good and II substantial re-
pairs could he made it should be al
most as good as new and last for
years. I've seen the crews at work
repairing Chicago streets and 1t would
seem that we in Hammond should De
able TO make repairs on our asphalt
pavements If Chicago can. OF course
the expense of purchasing one of those
repair outfits would be heavy r for
Hammond right now. but I have been
wondering II our contractors couldn't
arrange TO borrow one OF those outfits
for the Holman street Job. Right now
I'm long on economy and do not be-
lieve the city shoold be put to the
expense OF repaving the entire street
but If repairs are to be made that will
amount to anything they must be made
at once.
South Holman streets bumps form
the main topic Of conversation wher-
ever auto drivers or riders meet. Its
a wonder there are not some serious
accidents there" said one man this
morning Just watch the machines
zig Tagging down the line trying "a
miss each other and the holes at the
same time. I try TO avoid the street
as much as possible but I have TO u.s.
It some times. MY heart jumps right
up into my mouth every time ! sec

Alderman NJ. NJ. Bruce increasing the
pay of all police officers
Mayor Brown has been openly on
posed TO any increase at this time

begun al this time. One department
cf the city can not be permitted a
raise unless other departments are
shown like consideration City hall

TO be thought OF as well as the police" &"
said the Mayor. He has threatened
innumerable times to force the issue
to a show down If the question is ever
brought into the council Agitation
by police for an increase is attributed
by the Mayor to a few dlsgruntled Off
GERS who were unsuccessful in securing
promotion. with the change OF admnis-
tration.
The charge made by the Mayor is
strenuously denied by the police depart
ment.
According to the ordinance which
will be laid down before the mem bers
tonight the increase in salaries will be
as follows:
Chief of Police from $3.50 to 5000
Sergeants from s145 to $50.
Captains from $3.50 to $3.50
Court Bailiff from s155 to ti75
Detectives from $40 TO sIs0
Patrolmen from s135 to s17o
ChauTeurs from $135 to s1T5
Merchant Police from $67 to 500
Motorcycle Police from $40 to $3.50
Alderman Pat Reilly has secured over
100 signatures of prominent and rep
resentative business men TO a resolu-
ticn requesting the city council to in
crease salaries of all police officers and
TO make the increase retroactive to
April /. 1920. The petition does not
state what amount OF increase should
be granted. In asking that policemen
be granted back pay the resolution
says believing that those members
who have stuck this far should be re-
warded by having their increases dated
back at least four months"
1t is understood that the appropria-
ton ordinance which Alderman Bruce
will introduce will ask the proposed
increases be dated from July
