UTILITIES DRAF 7
POLES PLAN

A ten year program Of trolley
pole removal has been drafted by
the Public Utilities Commission and
transmitted to the Washington Rail
way and Electric Company.
The Commission holds that the
center poles should be removed
gradually so as not to put additional
financial burdens on the street rail
way companies IN any single year.
In transmitting their program to
the street car company the com
missioners requested that the cost
of trolley Spo1e removal be included
in the annual budgets.
The Commission asks that before
the end of 1929, trolley poles be
removed from Georgia Ave, Rock
Creek Church Road and a portion
of Kansas Ave. The 1929 program
alIs for their removal from Gallitan
street and another portion of Kansas
Ave.
Where streets are TO he paved,
the Commission believes that the
removal of the trolley poles should
be made ahead OF paving construc-
ton. This program is said to meet
with the approval of the street
railway compa MES.

Replevin is an action at law to re-

Mrs. Roberts left the city, giving her
neighbor several articles, including a
washing machine. The neighbor, Mrs.
Bailey, did not know that her kindly
neighbor had made Just one small pay
ment on the machine.
The washing machine agent, learning
what occurred, filed a replevin suit
against Mrs. Bailey to recover possession
of the machine. At the hearing, Mrs
Bailey did not dispute the facts, but
stated that the suit was unnecessary, as
she would have returned the machine if
demand had been made for 1t. For
this reason, she contended, the costs
which amounted to $50 should be
borne by the washing machine COM
pany
The court agreed with her conten-
ton and assessing the costs on the COM
pany, stated:
"A demand is necessary IN replevin to
afford the defendant an opportunity to
restore the goods to the rightful owner
In all cases where party is in possess
sion Of the goods of another the law
preSumes that he will at once deliver
them to the owner upon request; and
this presumption is so strong that 1t
will not allow such posSessor to be put
to the expense of defending a suit until
the opportunity has been offered him
to save costs and avoid litigation by

A Sermon for Today
Gospel of Service.
By REV. JOHN R. GUM.

OVopCA VI 0CINlCS'
Text: 81 will show thee my faith by
my works. James 2:18.
Christianity presents gospel of Serv-
ice as well as a gospel of faith. 1t is
not enough that Christians be believers,
they must be doers This was what the
apostle James had in mind when he
said: SHOW me thy faith without thy
works and I will show thee my faith
by my works"
my Father worked hitherto and I
work." is one of the recorded utterances
of the founder of Christianity. The
most graphic pen picture ever drawn OF
the earthly life of Christ was the brief
sentence, HE went about doing good.
Both by example and precept he taught
that the chief end of life was to serve.
He gave His disciples tasks to perform,
not simply ideals. He made himself a
servant and taught that all who would
be His followers must make themselves
servants His whole system of teach
ing and behavior was related to useful
activities.
Jesus, of course, recognized that life
has other values and other interests. To
emphasize the Importance of service is
by no means to discount other values.
To say that service Is the chief pur-
pose Of life is not to imply that life
has no other interests. Other values
and interests exist, but service Is vitality
related to all of them. Christs teaching
as to the plan of life makes this plain
He teaches that all life's values and in
terestS are conserved through service.
This was the meaning of his state
ment when he said. He that loseth
his life shall find it." 1t is through
sacrifcial service to others that We get
the most out of life for ourselves. Thus
service becomes veritable gospel.
