amounts to a billion and half dol
lars. Under the new tax court system
Secretary Mellon will be able TO make
settlements without interference from
the civil courts, a provision destined
to produce as much revenue as any
other in the Fordney bill.

to bring about simplification OF the
system Of collecting the taxes. on a

senta.ives Of tax payers and three
representatives OF the bureau OF in

Services

The Sunday services, both after
noon and evening of the Christian and
Missionary Alliance, at the First Bap-
fist church were unusually helpful.
! The earnest. snappy testimonies
and the messages by Arno Harris and
Bert Pierce were most encouraging
and impressive. The solo "Only Be-
lieve" by Miss Grace Pullen and
also "Where Will You Spend Eter-
nity?" by Miss Marion Hodges, with
guitar accompaniment were very
much enjoyed.
The week marked the conversion OF
two young people and the members
feel that the Lord is wonderfully
blessing these meetings.
While awaiting the arrival of the
new pastor. outside speakers and
members are conducting the services
and later an announcement of the Of

lied will be given.

in character. and everybody is well
