ELECTRIC
PLANT SCRAPPED
A number of years ago the city of
Minneapolis started an experiment in
municipally operated street lighting,
installing 212 street lamps in the
Tenth Ward, the electricity for which
was furnished by a generator located
in a garbage incinerating plant. The
theory was that the cest of current
was practically nothing, owing to
the fact that there would be no ex
pense for fuel. Actmil operation,
however, developed annual losses and
unsatisfactory service. The local
company w;is outhorized to scrap the
existing plant, without expense to
the city.
WILLIAM MELBERN IMPROVING

THE DEVIL'S PEAK LOAD
"What's 'peak load'?" asks a sub
criber of a rural paper. And the
editor answers: "It is the harvest
rush on the farm, the Saturday after-
noon crusn in tne stores oi me coun
ty seat towns, the 5:30 jam in the
barber shop; it's the press day con
gestion in the print shop, tne excur
sion crowd at the ticket winuow,
meal time at the gas company and
riiristmas illumination for the elec
tric plant. Satan will have a d-ose
of it on resurrection morn when the
professional reformers find an S-R-O
sign on Saint Peter's 'wicket'."
Splendid Music
at Revival Serv
ice Last Night
Weeping Water Male Quartet Ren
ders Music That Pleased a
Largs Audience.
From Wednesday's Daily
Evangelist Gardner faced another,
capacity hcuse last night at the'
Christian church. The Weeping !
Water male quartet was present and
delighted the audience with two
splendid numbers. In addition to
tli is a duet was offered by Mr. Har
old Harmon and Mr. Clyde Jenkins
which was equally pleasing. The
ix rsonel of the quartet includes the
two before mentioned gentlemen and
Mr. Cyrus and Harrison Livingston.
Mr.-:. Harmon presided at the piano as
accoiiipiiiiiest. The members of the
Weeping Water party present last
night expect to return at sometime
next week and present other num
bers of music to which those who
heard them last evening will look for
ward to with great pleasure.
In addition to the quartet from
Weeping Water a ehcdr of many
voices gave inspiration to the serv
ice. The Ile'V. W. E. Goings was pres
ent and off c-red the prayer of the
evening. As Lad been announced.
the evangelist took for his .subject
J r.e conversion ot a Colored Man.
Jllo began hi me-ssage by saying that
i rnar.y Cliirstians arc very' ignorant
to Took in the oil Testament for the
terms by which men enter into a
saved relation to God as elsewhere.
The farts of the case are. said the
evangelist, that there is only one
booK in the whole Bible that outlines
to men the ti-rnis of solvation and
that book is the Acts of the apostles.
In the N"w Testament there are Mat
thew. Mark. Luke and John, which
are the biographies of the life of
Christ, and do not contain the spe
cific terms f or man's pardon. The
Acts of the Apostles is a book of con-vrr;-io;i-:
and a history of the early
rhur'.-h and here only are to bo found
tli" methods by which Christ or
'I.'ir.'d to teach through his apostles
tb way by which men are required
to err.ne into his church. Twenty-one
becks in the form of special .and
gen-mi epistles t.ro given to teach
m n how to keep saved after conver
sion but these Loka do not pretend to
te :t Ii men the way to become saved.
The book of Revelations, said the
vingelist. includes a history and
prophecy of the Kingdom of God. but
dees not attempt to instruct men in
he steps of conversion. Men wish
ing knowledge or geography do not
those who wish facts pertaining to
geography do not devle into a book
of chemistry for enlightenment. Why
not us as much common sense in
studying the Bible? said the evan
gelist. From this the evangelist entered
into a discussion of the conversion of
th? Ethiopian as recorded in the
"th chapter of the book of Acts.
Here it was pointed out that Philip,
the evangelist of tho New Testament
times, preached unto the Ethiopian,
who wc.s a colored man. Jesus. All
of v. Mch Philip preached is not re
corded but sufficient is given to bring
to us light as to what the early teach
ers of the church taught, were funda
mentpl to becoming saved. The
preacher ef righteousness brought
understanding to this colored gen
tleman concerning Jesus. It is evi
dent, said the evangelist that he
taught him the need of faith for the
or." being instructed believed, he also
must have taught him repentance for
he became changed in his belief and
purpose; there must have been some
thing said relative to confession for
he openly confessed Christ and it is
equally certain that Philip must have
preached unto him water baptism by
immersion as the Ethiopian immed
diatcly requested that lie be baptiz
ed in the water near at hand which
was done and the Scriptures record
that the colored man ten went on his
way rejoicing. Such is the result to
all who comply with God's terms of
pardon said Evangelist Gardner. And
these are God's terms of pardon which
you who are here tonight can become
saved if you desire and will act as
did the colored man on your belief
said Reverend Gardner. At the con
elusion of the sermon four came for
ward to take membership with the
church. Baptismal services are to
be observed immediately following the
sermon. The evangelist will discuss
the subject of "Baptism" this eve
ning. This is a much discussed sub
ject upon which great bodies of be
lievers differ in opinion and it is ex
pected! that many will take advan
tage of the opportunity of hearing
the evangelist on this subject.
At tonight's service Irving Wiltse.
one of Plpttsmouth's public school
teachers, who is a fine soloist will
sing to those assembled.
Many of the most beautiful de
signs and shades of crepe paper and
crepe paper novelties can be found
j in the Dennison line at the Bates
