of city lots that front upon the
new park. Al present. $500 has
been turned in and eventually when
all the city-OWned lots that face
the park across Hamilton avenue
are sold the city Will be out 4 Scant
5000 for the entire project.
The land was leveled and grass
soWn without the need of additional
park crews. Vine avenue was closed
where it ran past the 5choo!houSe
and Hamilton avenue was opened.
The present Setup reduces traffic
danger to school children besides
allowing them a larger area OF
playground. One Of the chief assets
to nearby residents is replacing an
unsightly. barren block with a green
expanse.
No move has been made to take
advantage of offers from TIE Elks
and other organizations for equip
ping the park with play machinery.
Blalack appeared to feel that this
was closely linked with the super
vised play issue and should be a
matter for the new council to de-
eide
Proponents of the supervised play
idea argue that many children,
whose parents are occupied with
business all day, need close atten-
ton at Fairgrounds and maintain
that this IS the city's job. Oppo-
nents emphasize that supervised
play means more city functions and
therefore more taxation.

To Change Policy
On Standby Offer

connected with that of the Reclaim
alton service at BlaiSdell, in which
case standby power could be made
available to the district from Blais-
dell experimenting that from the
corporations other sources with
out putting the district to any
expense in the construction of a
transmission line to BlaiSdell, which
would cost approximately as much
as new diesel unit
Nev-Cal's original offer to sup
ply extra power followed disclosure
that the district is rapidly near
a point where it will have more Gus
toners than the BraWley diesel unit
can supply with power and addi-
tional PWA funds have been sought
to increase the plants capacity.
Nev-Cal objected to the increase on
the basis that it would not be need
ed after canal power is available
and offered to supply $500 kw'S
until that time.
Regarding the proposed addition
to the BraWley plant West de-
clared:
Purchase of a new diesel unit
would be WaSteful, even if the mon
ely could be obtained by loan or
grant from PWA. 1t would require
an election for this purpose and
the waiting of some six or seven
months for delivery and inStalla-
ton of the equipment, SO that no
power could be anticipated from
the new unit until about the first
of the year at which time All
American canal power is expected
to be available
To Ready's objection that inter-
connection with Nev-Cal would
tend to reduce the quality of dis
trict service through Interruptions,
West wrote;
This same objection could be
urged to any interconnection be-
tween large systems yet it is SO
far offset by coAlpensating advan-
tageS that 1t is accepted practice .
For instance the corporations Sys-
tenn for over ten years was tied in
and operated in parallel with that
formerly belonging to the Los An
geles Gas and Electric corpora
West reiterated that the 2li mill
rate quoted by the company was
not too low to be compensatory to
NeV-Cal, as he said Ready indicat-
ed. Regarding Ready's statement
that intercOnnection would cost the
district from $4,000 to $4,000 in
changing over, West said his cor
poration would loan the district
$4,000 to be repaid out of future
power service to NeV-Cal when canal
juice Is available.
To Peadys objections that de-
pendence upon Nev-Cal would not
be advisable in view of the COM
petitive situation West replied:
This Is not sound, either before
Or after the All American canal is
brought in. Prior thereto, the &C
ceptance of the corporations offer
would still leave the district with
all the generating sources it has
today and, as pointed out, time will
not permit any addition TO these
sources between now and January,
1871. After such date the district
will have for long period power
IN excess of its own needs.
The waste incident to duplica-
ton of power systems already
has been incurred and cannot be
eliminated. This does not prevent,
however, the two systems being
operated so as to avoid as far as
possible, the duplication Of operat-
ing costs. :"

III. Praise for Everything Loving
kindness (vv. 1919.


Man and everything that man
makes or Goes is transient, and will
one day pass away. What a fool
that man is who lives only for the
things Of this world which are des-
tined to Wither like the grass! How
tragic to come into eternity and to
face God empty handed and con-
demned for ones own selhshness
and folly, when He is willing to show
unto US that 'loving-kindness" which
S not only for this life, but also for
the life that is to come.
AS we praise God for this great
and blessed gift, shall we not be
moved to go out and seek to win
others TO Him?
In closing this brief study of the
One Hundred Third Psalm may we
again suggest that in these bitter
Gays which SO sorely try the hearts
of men, we lift our souls up to
ugh spiritual plane by praising
God. When Hardley Page was max
ng a flight through the Orient a
large rat was attracted by the smell
of food and entered into the air
plane. Later, when Mr.. Page was
IN mid-air over mountainous coun-
Try where he could not land, he sud-
denly heard the sound of gnawing
behind him. He knew that the rat
might SO damage his plane as to
cause disaster Then he remem.
oered that a rat is not made for
nIgn attitudes. SO he began to soar.
Soon the gnawing ceased and hours
later when his machine landed he
found the rat lying dead beneath the
engine. 1t is a blessed truth that
Satan cannot endure the high alt-
tudes of praise. He quickly departs
from the soul whom he finds re-
loicing in this high and lofty splr
.tual atmosphere. Try praise" foa
praise changes things"

Psalm 1892.
We live in difficult and confusing
days with much on every hand to dis
courage us. We look about US in
vain for any encouraging sign. The
result is that unless we exercise
care the temptation will overtake us
who are Christians to fall into the
bitter, complaining attitude of the
world, forgetting the benefits which
God has bestowed upon us, forget
ting His mercy and grace, and, in
this hour of trial, telling the world
by our life, if not by our lips, that
we have lost our faith in God.
1t is easy to praise God when all
goes well, when we see His bless
ing upon US; but the Christian
should recognize that praise is a
vital part of his daily fellowship with
God, an expression of his apprecia-
ton of all that God is and does for
him. Psalm 103 has in all genera
tons been a favorite of Christian
people when passing through deep
waters and fiery trials.
i. Praise for Personal Blessings
wv. 1-5).
Our relationship to God is a per-
sonal one. and His blessings are per-
Sonal. Praise also is personal
soul exercise to which we need often
to stir ourselves. We need to call
on "all that is within US to bless
and praise the Lord.
Forget not"-how prone we are
to do that very thing. We remem-
Der the things we ought to forget
and forget the things we ought to
remember We have become so &C.
customed to the many blessings of
God that we accept them as a mat
ter of course.
Note that the chief of all bless
ings is the forgiveness of sin ". 81.
The spiritual is far more important
than the physical. but that too is in
cluded. Only God can heal our dis
eases, whether by means or by di-
rect intervention. He also meets
with true satisfaction every right
and normal desire of man, whether
OF be physical, social, mental or
spiritual. That calls for praise from
the depths of our beings.
III. Praise for Forgiveness of Sin
(vv. 1910.
We may put on a front" when
we deal with our fellow men, but
there is no use in thus trying to
fool God. He knows US for what
we are-''frail children of dust, and
feeble as frail" We are not able to
meet our own little problems; how
can we do anything with the sin
question?
The mercy of God, high as the
heavens, is revealed nowhere in
such overfoWing measure as in His
dealing with the sins of them that
fear him" ". 49,. For them He has
the pity of a father, but He has
more, for He has the authority and
power to cast our sins as far from
us as the east is from the west,
and how far that is no one knows.
Observe that His mercy is only
for them that fear Him." God
resisteth the proud, but giveth grace
unto the humble" Games as, /
Pet. Sc, y. Whosoever will may
come and receive of Him abundant
pardon. Why not come now?
