Electric power rates depend on sew
eral factors, for there are many items
of cost that have to be paid before
electricity can be delivered to your
home, and you as the consumer pay
all of them regardless of what system
you buy your power from, either pr1-
yate or public. Among the largest OF
these items are interest and construc-
ton costs. A municipal system always
pays off it's capital account, thus grad
ually eliminating capital charges;
private company never pays off its cap
ital account but is always increasing
it. Therefore, under public ownership
the costs of producing current are al
ways decreasing. This is well Illustrated
in the various municipal rates of On
tario.
I have here the 25th annual report
Of the Hydro Electric Power Commits
sion of Ontario, Canada. There are
some five hundred pages of figures and
detailed statements of all their utility
districts.
The town of Acton has population
of 1880 and is located 81 miles from
the nearest generating station supply
ing the system. Their cost per horse
power year is 5000, which represents
the cost to the Hydro Electric Com
mission of generating and delivering
power to them.
The domestic service consumers
number 481 with an average consump-
ton of 90 XVIII. The average monthly
bill is $1.74, or an average net cost OF
19 cents XVIII.

Why are cities the centers of
Christianity?
In what respects is Barnabas a

plified hospitality to men, and new

Barnabas (A consecrated Man
of Wealth. Acts 4:36,37; 11:19-30,
for Sunday, Aug. 25:
Barnabas who was a man of
wealth was a leading Christian in
his day; he made his wealth serve
the Lord.
V. 36, 81. tAnd Joses, who by
the apostles was named Barnabas,
a Levite and of the country Of Cyp-
rus, having land, sold it, and
brought the money and laid it at
the apostles feet" The benevo-
lence of Joses called forth new
name beftting his character; he saw
the financial needs of his brethren
and freely disposed Of his property
and as good steward gave it all to
the leaders of the church. He was
quietly moving among the Jerusalem
brethren when he first met Paul and
arranged for quiet conference
with Peter and James to whom the
story of his conversion was told,
which so impressed his hearers as
to accept him as a brother disciple.

A justice Of the New York City
court Of general sessions has said ::
I'm my opinion there can be no So
luton Of the social problem without
readjustment of spiritual life.
Conformity to the highest principles
of religion, which seek to adjust
the relations of man to God and of
man to man, will remove most of
the difficulties which confront us.
The desire to be at one with God
will so influence US as to overcome
any tendency, either spiritual or
anti-social, which may be innate in
us and which it is the purpose of
religion to eradicate. The problem
of capital and labor and the subject
of racial equality will all be sus-
ceptible of solution if we are guild
ed by the noblest ethical standards.
My conclusion then points to the
religious education of the young
and to the re-education of the ma
ture, where needed, as the most
vital concern of the day

Honesty In Children

Parents are very anxious to have
their children honest, and take
great pains to tell them SO; but they
forget that in their conversation
around the dinner table, their plan
ming, and telling of various expert
ences, there is impaired uncon-
sciously to the children ideas and
ideals that are more powerful than
the casual word now and then spok-
en- on the subject Of honesty.
A little child is uncritical and
full of confidence in his parents, ac-
cepting without question their
ideas Of God, religion, character
1t is not 50 much what parents
teach a child about these things
that determines his future atti-
tudes, but the spontaneous approval
or disapproval of ideas and actions
he hears at the table or in the gen
eral conversation of his elders.

V. 49, ''Now they which were
scattered abroad upon the persecu-
ton that arose about Stephen trav-
eled as far as Phenice and Cyprus
and Antioch, preaching the word to
none but unto the Jews only" God
so overruled the early Christian
prosecutions as to spread the gospel
news to far away places. God has
way Of bringing out blessings to
those undergoing trials, sufferings,
disappointments and sorrows.
V. 20. "And some of them were
men of Cyprus and Cyrene, which,
when they were come to Antioch,
spake unto the Grecians, preaching
the Lord Jesus" While the Jews
were favored in having the gospel
first preached to them we have here
come to the turning point when
there was preaching to the Greeks.
Christianity is not narrow relig-
ion nor is it stationary; it is adapt
able, ever new, and basic to pro-
gressive civilization.
V. 21. and the hand of the
Lord was with them; and a great
number believed and turned unto
the Lord" Spiritual results follow
conditions where the hand of the
Lord is in evidence. 1t is our part
to make conditions such as to bring
about a manifestation of Gods
presence and power.
V. %. Then tidings of these
things came unto the ears Of the
church which was in Jerusalem;
and they sent forth Barnabas, that
hA ,l,n f0r n
tioch.'' Barnabas had qualities of
quiet leadership which would give
needed direction and instruction to
new converts; he was a good or
ganizer, a good judge of human
nature, man who could set good
example.
V. %. "Who. when he came and
had seen the grace of God, was
glad, and eXhorted them all, that
with purpose of heart they would
cleave unto the Lord Here is a
vital point in religion-'to purpose
to cleave unto the Lord 1t is be-
ing faithful unto the end that
counts. 1t takes just one mistake
to ruin character.
V. "a. For he was a good man,
and full of the Holy Ghost and of
faith; and much people were added
unto the Lord Barnabas had
such a vital faith that he was re-
warded by the indwelling Holy
Spirit who worked in his goodness
which was a natural result. God
needs such men as BarnabaS if
there are to be additions to the
church.
V. 25. "Then departed Barnabas
to Tarsus, for to seek Saul" Bar
nabas needed helper, and knowing
Paul selected him as the one best
fitted. He was willing to be over
shadowed by another who was to
become a world leader.

Mr.. Wilbur Reed of Fremont,

to the Morgan County Democrat,
Aug. 5, wrote:
Iowa farmers are having a better
year than last year, although the
yield of small grain is somewhat
disappointing Too much rain for
wheat, oats or rye to pollinate well.
Threshing is in full swing in the
southern part of the state. Corn
looks we'll SO far; not enough
chinch bugs to do any damage.
Hay crop is all harvested, and a
good yield; potatoes and garden
truck are good. Prices of grain,
livestock and produce are so much
better, that farmers are more hope
ful than they have been for several
years. Help is scarce. We enjoy
