CHRISTIAN SCIENCE CHURCHES

Sacrament" was the subject of
the Lesson-Sermon in all churches
OF Christ, Scientist, on Sunday, Jan
uary 13.
Golden Text: "Let us keep the
feast, not with the old leaven, nei-
ther with the leaven of malice and
wickedness; but with the unleavened
bread of sincerity and truth" Il Cor
inthians 5-S).
Among the citations which COM
prised the Lesson-Sermon was the
following from the Bible: GAS they
were eating, Jesus took bread, and
blessed it and brake it ard gave it
to the disciples, and said, Take, eat;
this is my body. And he took the
cup, and gave thanks, and gave it to
them saying, Drink ye all of it."
(Matthew 26: 26,27.)
The Lesson-Sermon also included
the following passages from the
Christian Science textbook, Science
and Health with Key to the Scrip
lures" by Mary Baker Eddy: %The
true sense is spiritually lost, if the
sacrament is confined to the use of
bread and wine. The disciples had
eaten, yet Jesus prayed and gave
them bread. This would have been
foolish in a literal sense; but in its
spiritual signification, it was natural
and beautiful" (p. 32).

The Sunday Bible School is held
every Sabbath morning, followed by
experience meeting or preaching
service. Last Sunday night the Ep-
worth League service was led by
Miss Dorothy Hickman. The SER
mon at 7.45 delivered by the pastor,
Rev. c. w. Branford, was inspiring
and appreciated. His text was from
st. John, Sth Chapter, 18th verse,
and Acts, 18th Chapter and 29th
verse. Rev. Branford sang "Star
of the East"
In his discourse it was said that
we need the light which gives US a
vision of our duty to Christ and His
Church. AS an illustration the
pastor spoke of his grandmother
whose eyesight was impaired. A
physician who was a specialist,
could possibly have restored her
sight if she had consented to an
operation. So it is with some folks
whose vision is impaired. They have
not permitted the Great Physician
to give them their sight and open
their spiritual eyes. They are
neglectful of worshiping with Gods
people on the Sabbath
The theme of Rev. Chas. w. Bran
ford's discourse on Sunday morning
following Sunday School, will be

PROBE TO Be ASKED
OF RESERVE BOARD
Representative Reid to Pre-
sent Resolution at Spe-
CiaI Session.
BY the Associated Press.


CHICAGO, April ga resolution de-
manding an investigation Of the Fed
eral Reserve Boards policy tending to
curb stock market speculation will be
presented by Representative Frank r.
Reid Of Illinois at the forthcoming spe-
cial session of Congress.
THE present action Of the Federal
Reserve Board may be as unwise as were
the drastic defiation policies charged to
it in 1920" Representative Reid said
yesterday. 'The country has not yet
fully recovered from the paralysis in
flicted upon agriculture by Its policy
then"
He charged that the board had ex-
ceeded its powers in forcing call money
to 20 per cent, and that the action was
reflected in usuriouS rates Of interest
on commercial loans.
The resolution will call for appoint
ment Of a select committee of nine
members of Congress and the committee
would be required to report to Congress
the answers to eight SPECIFIC questions
Of technical nature.
Representative Reid proposes to show
by the answers that the current stock
market speculation Is not inconsistent
with sound banking.
He asks the committee In his resolu-
ton to determine whether the board is
unduly influenced by conditions abroad,
and asserts that the Federal Reserve
policy has improved British credit con-
ditions to the detriment of the United
States.

HEARING HERE SOON
ON LAKE DIVERSION
Arguments Against Chicago
Sewage Disposal Plan
to Close Case.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, April 8.-The Great Lakes
diversion controversy, now farmed out
by the United States Supreme Court
to Charles Evans Hughes. special master
in chancery, was born nearly 80 years
ago.
1t is based on Chicagos questioned
right to alter the face Of the earth.
The next phase in the dispute be-
tween Chicago and neighboring States
Of the Great Lakes district is set for
April Is in Washington. when argu-
ments will be presented that the city has
not complied with a War Department
order
The case followed the building of the
drainage canal in 1900. Long before
the turn of the century. the growing
city discovered that it could not con-
tinue to dump waste products into Lake
Michigan and still drink lake water.
So over ridge between the lake and
the DesplaineS River Valley, engineers
hoiSted the short and crooked Chicago
River. connecting the lake and the
DeSplaineS by the canal.
Amount Of Diversion.
Between 5000 and 10000 cubic feet
of water per second were needed to
dilute the citys sewage and carry it
away from the lake This diversion
was the gage OF battle. Lake States
contended the diversion lowered lake
levels and menaced navigation. Also.
said they, disposing of its sewage was
Chicago's problem, not the lakes.
About II years ago the complaint
found expression in an Injunction suit.
Eight years later an Injunction was
issued restraining the sanitary district
of Chicago from diverting more than
4,167 cubic feet a second
The district was permitted to draw
water at the old rate, but the War De-
partment demanded that sewage dis
posal plans be given a clear track. The
permit for this extra diversion ends
with this year.
Thompson defled the Government to
challenge Chicago's right to draw the
Lake water, and promised he would not
permit the installation of meters, a
provision the War Department de-
manded be carried out.
Another Injunction Asked.
Now there is before the Supreme
Court a petition from wisconsin
Michigan, Ohio. Pennsylvania and New
York for another injunction to halt
water removal. The court, acting upon
a report by Mr.. Hughes, already has
signified that the diversion of water
for sewage dilution and disposal is
illegal, and that only fraction of the
present diversion could be allowed, and
that only for navigation.
Hughes held a hearing here in March
to determine if Chicago was going
ahead with the sewage disposal plan de-
manded by the War Department. The
district now is in an embarrassing posi-
ton. 1t is bankrupt and its bonding
power is seriously hampered by a hos
tile Legislature.
The Washington hearing April IS,
outlining the complaining States con-
tention that Chicago is not carrying out
the War Departments order, will be
the last. Mr.. Hughes will submit his
port to the Supreme Court In June,
when the tribunal recesses, or in Oc-
tober, when it reconvenes.

DARLINGTON, Wis, April s.-Two
persons were injured buildings on three
farms were demolished, homes and
barns on more than so other farms
were wrecked and at least 100 head Of
cattle were killed by a tornado which
struck Northeastern Lafayette County
and Northwestern Greene County Sat-
urday night. Despite the severity Of the
storm, no one was killed.
Severed telephone and telegraph lines
and blocked roads made the territory
almost inaccessible and it was impossible
to obtain reliable estimates of the
damage.
Herbert Emerson, one of the persons
injured, told Of how he was picked up
by the wind from his barnyard near
here and carried nearly half mile be-
fore he was dropped to the ground,
breaking several ribs.
The. force of the wind was spent over
distance of about 20 miles.

new SITE OFFERED
FOR BUS TERMINAL
Area in Block Bounded by
10th, 18th, H and | Streets
Is Suggested.

Another site for the proposed ter
minal for motor buses engaged in In
terstate transportation was offered to
the Public Utilities Commission today.
1t is located on the northern half of
the block bounded by Tenth, Eleventh
and H and streets and contains 10000
square feet.
The property was offered by Thomas
d. Walsh, a Washington real estate
agent. who pointed out to the commits
sion that 1t Is in the immediate vicinity
Of the Washington, Baltimore & An
napolis Electric Railway terminal, in
close proximity to hotels, stores, thea
tiers and other business establishments.
and yet not too close to the heart Of
the congested area.
The Site is just south of the block
offered to the commission for bus
depot last week by New York real
estate firm which said 1t had an option
on the entire square bounded by tenth
and eleventh streets and New York ave-
nue. and K street.
Hearing Being Planned.
The third site is on H street between
thirteenth and fourteenth streets where
a Washington construction company is
planning to erect new Office building
and offered TO develop the ground moor
as bus terminal If majority of the
motor buses entering the District
would agree to use it.
John w. Childress. chairman OF the
commission, is planning to can a pub
lie hearing on the motor bus problem
at which the owners and operators Of
the interstate lines will be asked to
state their preference as to a location
for the terminal.
. The hearing, however, probably will
not be held until after Mr.. Childress
and Earl v. Fisher, executive secretary
to the commission, return from bus
terminal inspection trip to other cities.
Tour Due to Start Soon.
The commission officials expect to
leave Washington the latter part Of this
week and visit those cities which have
outstanding bus depots.
The itinerary will be determined as
soon as the commission receives replies
to communications sent out last week
to State public utility commissions in
the East asking for information as to
the cities where modern bus terminals
can be found.
