WHAT'S THE ANSWER?

CITY councilmen are eagerly awaiting
~ some word from Mayor Moore at to-
days session of Council on the subject of
street cleaning for 1921.
Some months ago they appropriated
81, 900 to the Department of Public
Works for n survey of the street cleaning
situation. Then an ordinance was intro
duced. on the eve of the summer recess,
calling for $4,000 for n commission to
appraise the equipment of the contractors
All this looked like busuess--the business
of getting rid of the contract system.
But the councilmcn have heard nothing
since on the subject of street cleaning. They
would like to know. officially. what is in
the Mayors mind. Does he really want to
abolish the old system, as the new charter
contemplatcs?
The Mayor would do we'll to dissipate the
cloud Of confusion which. like smoke

but it should always make 1t clear that it
does not stand on the side of. injustice and
that it is not tool of wealth. The church
should be an institution that stands for the
people and enters into n fellowship with
them, and, under such condition, man
cannot go amiss by giving his full allegiance
to that church. as the gospel is the universal
and only solvent ana moves into every con-
troversy.
another thing that would like to see is
that the downtown church should include in
its realm the factory. the store and the
Office. Too often such a church loses many
of its parshioners when they move out into
the suburbs.
But, after all is said and done, with all
its faults, the church is the best manifesto
tion of God that we have. and when we re-
alize that there are $1,000, 900 of unchurched
people in America, we can see the great work
that the church has before it, The latter
is the only hope of worthy national spirit
because the nation belongs to God as much
as the church and will never be great until
the church has fulfilled its mission to the
nation"
