The West Point of
Christian Education

j. A. Sutherland, who is con.
Quoting the union meetings at the
Methodist church, is one of the
teachers of the Moody Bible In
stitute of Chicago.
Over forty years ago, Dwight
L. Moody, Americas greatest
evangelist, founded the Institute
which now bears his name. He did
this not in competition with 9TH
er schools, but to meet the great
need of educating young men and
women who had not had proper
preparation for Christion service,
and who were not prepared to take
advantage of seminary training,
or the work of other schools of adj
vanced education.
The Moody Bible Institute has
become the greatest Bible school
in the world, with an annual en-
rollment of about $500 students in
day and evening classes. They also
have school of Bible training by
correspondence with an enrolment
of 1000.
The latest feature in Bible train
ing is a course by radio. The Insti-
tute has a modern well-equipped
broadcasting station which is send
ing out the Gospel in all its pur-
ity and power, by day and night,
to the blessing of thousands in hos
pitfalls, in prisons, in numbering
camps and where ever there are
those who have a radio.
DR.. James M. Gray, the presi-
dent, is well-known Bible teach
er recognized for his scholarly ex-
positions of the Word of God.
Friends wishing information on
the Institute will be welcome to
ask questions of Mr.. Sutherland,
at the close of each evenings SER
vice.

Hill Boosts for
The Power Bill.
Gives Reasons for Voting
for Measure-Club to
Hear Opponents

Hon. Knute Hill, Benton county's
representative and candidate for
e-election on the democratic ticket
presented the stand Of the grange
as proponents for the power bill
which will be voted upon at the
general election this fall. He spoke
before the Commercial club at the
regular luncheon this noon at no.
tel Kennewick.
Mr.. Hill's speech was the first
Of series to be given at the week
ly meetings Of the club, presenting
both sides of the issues before the
people of the state. The opponents
of the power bill will be heard at
the meeting next week. The talk
will be delivered by Howard A.
Thompson of Seattle. Mr. Thomp-
son was formerly corporate coun-
sci for the city of Seattle and was
author of many of the ordinances
pertaining to the Skagit power
plant being operated by the city.
He comes with thorough under
standing of the problems confront
ing municipalities in the construc-
ton and operation of power plants.
Mr.. Hill prefaced his talk with
the statement that the bill was
merely an enabling act, giving cit
liens Of the rural communities the
same privileges now enjoyed by the
large cities. He said there was no
doubt about the constitutionality
of the proposed law for it was
formed after the plan Of the port
and irrigation districts.
He denied that the bill would N
crease taxes. He said it was not
the plan to take over private plants
but that if all the private PLANS
in state were taken over it would
only increase taxes by 1.2 per cent,
and at that rate it would be a big
benefit to consumers thru lowered
power rates.
Mr.. Hill said that one of the OBJ
jections made by opponents Of the
bill was that it would add more un-
taxed property to the state rolls.
He said the oranges favored an
amendment to permit taxing mu-
nicipal property of all kinds.
It was only by threat Of oppose
ton that the four big power com
panies had ever reduced rates, Mr..
Hill said, and cited as an example
zoe rate in Seattle before the
municipal plant was established,
which has since been cut to five
cents, with even lower rates in eff
feet in Tacoma
Mr.. Hill concluded his speech
with a plea that the people be per-
mitted to use the vast amount Of
energy going to waste in the
mighty Columbia river which forms
three sides of Benton county.

Their work is not confined to
the large cities alone, as two small
towns in our state have succeed in
establishing the co-worker school
and have the slogan destroy the
Public School," Some of the noted
educators declare the communist
movement in the schools is very
dangerous, not so much in what it
has yet accomplished in our schools
but the seed sown for future de-
velopment. They have manual

games. Even the game of hide and

secretly and very cleverly SO that
the child unconceivably absorbs
their views without being aware
