The controversy between the So

the latter want individuality.
Dean Wilbur declared that the
church has Il great duty to perform
in educating people in the cause of
religion. Real education is always a
religion in itself" he said. He said
that only 35 per cent of the people
in the world profess the Christian
religion and that within the pale
many fall short of the mark.

'Unmistakable evidence" OF the in

George Otis Smith. director of the

Gay.
Electric power faithfully reflects
all business and the per cent of 1t
which is used for lighting gives not
disproportionate weight to its domes-
tic use. The use of electrical power
furnished by the public utility plants
is increasing by leaps and bounds
and apparently will continue to in
crease at a rapid rate. This rapid
increase in the use of electricity has
been caused in part by coal famines
brought about by strikes and traffic
block2des. Industry has learned that
IT Is much easier and cheaper in prac-
tically all cases to obtain power by
pulling a switch than it is to operate
i steam plant
THE year 1924 has begun with an
average daily production of electric
ity by public utility power plants ex-
ceeding all previous records The
167,000,000 kilowatt hours, which was
the average daily output in January,
represents the energy equivalent of
the work of $50, 900 men for an
eight-hour day. Power statistics
which have been collected by the ge-
illogical survey since 1919 are the re-
suit of monthly returns from some
$500 stations, and it is clear that they
.offer one of the most sensitive and
valuable indicators of business"
