HOW WILL GOD SAVE REBELLIOUS WORLD? "How Is God to Save This Rebellious World?" was the subject of the sermon at the White Temple Sunday morning, Dr. Gelssinger taking as his text, Romans 10:8-19. "It is a rebellious world," Dr. Gelssinger said. "Men have the light but prefer the darkness. A man sees on this side usefulness, comfort, honor, place, home and loved ones. On that ignomy, shame, defeat, disgrace, pain and heart-break. Yet so often he chooses the harder way and the way that leads to suffering. Millions of men and women seem to be utterly pig-headed—without common sense. So many of us have no more comprehension of what belongs to our security than a speckled hen on the highway." And now how is this blundering, sinning world to be saved? What do you preachers and church people mean by being saved? asks a bright, wide awake youth, doubtless considerably puzzle-headed. We mean how is the world to be brought to its senses and persuaded to take a rational attitude towards life, towards the universe, towards others. How are men to be brought to a knowledge of east and west spiritually? Others! What a word that is! How are we to be saved from the disaster and suffering into which our self-assertiveness flung us from 1914 to 1919? How are we to save the Hottentots and other heathen from their fears and superstitions and ignorance and bring them out into the light of a Christian civilization? Liberty, self-government, mastery, justice, well being, how are we to give these to India and to all the world? Jesus taught us that the universe is our Father's House and that God is love and how are men to be brought to believe these great truths and to me transformed by them? "I think any fair-minded man can see what is meant by salvation from the Christian point of view. "And I answer the question I have raised, 'How is God to save this Rebellious world?' by saying: 'By the foolishness of preaching.' "I grant you that God is not limited to our preaching and that He makes use of many means to bring the people of his love into his peace. Commerce, industry, invention, knowledge, diplomacy, eugenics, all of these in the hands of an All-wise Dog." Government ownership and operation of electric light and power utilities, as exemplified by the hydro-electric power commission of Ontario, is not a success, from the viewpoint of either service or low cost, as compared to privately-owned and publicly-regulated electric light and power companies in the United States and Canada. This in effect is the outstanding conclusion in a report made to the National Electric Light Ass'n by the clency of the manage the taxing power of th "Governmental owns sites incentive for cities initiative. This is far greater grown owned utilities." "The hydro-electric sion is the judge of its commission cannot fail of its own (and other contentions." Naturally, the power Niagara is produced "I think any fair-minded man can see what is meant by salvation from the Christian point of view." "And I answer the question I have raised; 'How is God to save this Rebellious world?' by saying: 'By the foolishness of preaching.'" "I grant you that God is not limited to our preaching and that He makes use of many means to bring the people of his love into his peace. Commerce, industry, invention, knowledge, diplomacy, eugenics, all of these in the hands of an All-Wise Providence makes for the liberation of the peoples of earth." "But as Paul said it is by the foolishness of preaching by all Christians of the gospel which is no foolishness that the world is to be saved. The gospel! The good news that man is a son of God by inherent right and should take his place in the Father's House as a son; that he ought always to think of himself in that high way; that love is the only law for controlling his relation to his neighbor which is any one he can help; that we all ought to be better men and women than we are and can be; that God can help us and is ready to if we do not prevent him; that He hath placed eternity in our hearts and that responsibility, which Daniel Webster once said was the greatest thought he had ever had pass thru his mind, that responsibility is a fact and that we must all at least stand in the white light of God's judgment. This is the gospel and by the preaching of this gospel the world is to be saved and there is no other medicine equal to the world's sickness. "I name three ways in which we may help God save the world: 1. By appropriating this gospel to ourselves. Let these truths flood our minds, warm our hearts, invigorate our wills, enlarge our imaginations, steady our hands and redeem our lives and then let light shine out from our lives. That is Christ's own way. 2. We must proclaim the gospel to others. This is the duty of every Christian man and woman. Our duty and our privilege. We Christians have scarcely believed enough in our gospel to preach it and for a whole generation we have been trifling with it. The world needs this gospel and we must carry it to them. 3. Where we cannot go we must send it. Already the light has broken in on the mind of the backward peoples and we have hardly given them an opportunity to hear the word." Better Enforcement In Rhode Island WASHINGTON, Mar. 20.—Altho Rhode island did not ratify the 18th amendment, Director Edward J. Dunn and his legal adviser, William W. Blodgett, reported in person today to Commissioner Haynes that there is a marked change in public sentiment, which enforcement agencies in general reflect in full co-operation with the federal force. Government ownership and operation of electric light and power utilities, as exemplified by the hydro-electric power commission of Ontario, is not a success, from the viewpoint of either service or low cost, as compared to privately-owned and publicly-regulated electric light and power companies in the United States and Canada. This in effect is the outstanding conclusion in a report made to the National Electric Light Ass'n by the engineering firm of Murray & Flood of New York City, and just released for publication by that association. It is buttreased by a mass of contributory evidence gathered first-hand by the engineering firm in an exhaustive investigation begun on August 22, 1921, and covering the period up to February 10, 1922, when the report was presented. The engineering firm making the report is comprised of Mr. W. S. Murray, who conducted the superpower survey on the Atlantic seaboard between Boston and Washington for the United States government, and who in addition is conversant with Canadian conditions, having acted in a consulting engineering-capacity for municipal and provincial bodies, and Mr. Henry Flood, Jr., formerly engineer-secretary of the United States government superpower survey organization. In summarizing the results of the investigation the report asserts that the system of electric service such as that operated by the hydro-electric power commission of Ontario is applicable in the United States, for the reason that it is contrary to American policy and custom, and in addition is inefficient, expensive and wasteful. It shows that the service rendered by privately-owned utilities under public regulation is cheaper and better than that rendered by governmentally-owned utilities, and that even in Ontario, which has what is generally looked upon as the most successful example of government-owned utilities, private capital and enterprise have contributed more to the up-building of civic, industrial and commercial life than has the government-owned project. The report states: "The facts show, however, that the electric utilities of the states hold more power in reserve and sell more energy per capita served, that by that token they can claim a greater reliability of supply and that the supply is cheaper to the consumer. "The building of new power plant facilities under the auspices of government-owned ownership, as shown in the cases of Nipigon and Chippewa, both in respect to policy and cost, is not to the economic interest of the people." continues the report. "The advocates of government or municipal ownership of electric utilities claim reduction in the cost of power in virtue of the elimination of taxes; the elimination of dividends; the elimination of high-sailied executives; and more economical wage efficiency of the management taxing power of the Governmental owners all incentive for their initiative. This is far greater grown owned utilities." "The hydro-electricism is the judge of its commission cannot fail of its own (and other contentions." Naturally, the power Niagara is produced cost, continues within the Province upon the entire America. This power is transmitted palatales frequently woven zone as other municipal electric light and from other generating result is a wide variety cause of the difference costs. Under the system and public regulation States (California local state) as well as the aim of electric li companies and of refmissions to equalize far as possible all costs be upon an equal base power costs are concede not be favored nor per geographic adjacency from natural power.

At the end the municipal purchase either credited or deferred difference between them and th actual cost of delivering the power "interim" wholesale in the 1920 annual mission were between per horsepower year.

Better Enforcement In Rhode Island WASHINGTON, Mar. 20.—Altho Rhode Island did not ratify the 18th amendment, Director Edward J. Dunn and his legal adviser, William W. Blodgett, reported in person today to Commissioner Haynes that there is a marked change in public sentiment, which enforcement agencies in general reflect in full co-operation with the federal force. "I am safe in asserting," said Director Dunn, "that real liquor has practically disappeared from the illicit market in Rhode Island, and the people are fearful of the product which is being peddled by bootleggers that the bootlegging business is on the rock. Coast line smuggling is no longer a serious problem, and the little that does come ashore, including that brought in from Canada, is in most instances merely rectified alcohol." "A drive which we are now directing with much promise of success, is against a ring of her-her-up moonshiners, who operate through "dummies" whose fines are financed by them. This ring is now resorting to the renting of tenements, sometimes an entire block, and in these tenements operate stills immune from molestation under the law, which prevents search of homes without warrants. The courts recognize the character of this situation, and we have no chance of helpful co-operation from them. Just recently a convicted moona mer was given three months in jail." REFUSES TO HONOR LEE WORCESTER, Mass., Mar. 20 The proposal from the American Legion that the Grand Army honor the memory of General Robert E. Lee by celebrating his birthday, Jan. 19, has been turned down by George H. Ward post, Q. A. R. Commander Partin, speaking for the post, declared that because Lee resigned his commission in the United States army and then devoted four year of his life in trying to split the nation by fighting the federal government it was a poor example to the youth of the nation to lionize him. The building of new power plant facilities under the auspices of governmental ownership, as shown in the cases of Nipigon and Chippewa, both in respect to policy and cost, is not to the economic interest of the people." continues the report. "The advocates of government or municipal ownership of electric utilities claim reduction in the cost of power in virtue of the elimination of taxes; the elimination of dividends; the elimination of high-saliaried executives; and more economical wage and higher efficiency in labor scale. Taxes are not eliminated. Just as much money in taxes is paid. The difference is in their distribution. In the case of private ownership only the users of service pay the tax bill, while in the case of government-owned utilities all the people pay the bill. "Notwithstanding dividends, high-saliaried executives and the wage and labor claim, the answer is, when the total operations are summed up, the people receive the power at less cost through private ownership under regulation. "The investment of capital in electric utilities under private interest control is far better protected from extravagance than when that capital is governmentally-owned, for the reason that plans and estimates for such capital expenditures not only must gain the approval of a trained engineering and managerial staff and an experienced board of directors of the companies, but it also must have the critical review of the banker and the private financial investor. In the case of government-owned utilities, the directing heads are seldom specially trained in the business under their jurisdiction and the value of the securities is not based upon the value of the property or the effi- WILL SERVE YOU WELL The Quality Storage Battery Service With a Smile Automotive Electric Co.

Los Angeles St., Anaheim THE ORANGE COUNTY PLAIN DEALER, ANAHEIM, CALIFORNIA KEEP BY COLLECTING EGGS GREATEST HALL IN WORLD IS PLANNED LONDON, Mar. 20.—In about two years' time workmen will be finishing the largest hall in the world, the site of which was bought on Saturday for approximately $5,000,000. Many weeks of negotiations have led up to this deal and the syndicate which has made the purchase, headed by two American millionaires, J. Ring and A. Cochran, may spend another $5,000,000 on it before the work is through. The largest hall in the world, larger by far than either Olympia or the Crystal Palace, is to be erected and in it some of the largest exhibitions ever designed will be housed. In addition boxing and other athletic displays will be held there, and it may probably be used for future Olympic Games held in England. SEXTETTE MIXES IN SOCIETY SCANDAL PARIS, Mar. 20.—A German Princess, two fake counts, the wife of an ex-Portuguese Consul-in the United States, a grasping jeweler and a forgiving husband constitute the dramatic response of the Riviera's latest society scandal, which has resulted in the arrest of the paused-counts and the return of Mine. Devenden Empes to her husband in Nice. Mine Empes recently became enamored of an adventurer named Langelia, and eloped with him to Milan and thence to San Remo, where Langelia and his brother represented themselves as the Counts Coratto. Before abandoning her husband Mine. Empes thoughtfully prepared for the future by taking 70,000 francs worth of negotiable securities from her husband's safe. These securities gave the police the first claw to the couple's movements. PASTOR REMOVED FOR HIS WIFE.

The Time Is Growing Short There is no evidence of the management, but upon the taxing power of the government. "Governmental ownership eliminates all incentive for gain and throttles initiative. This is evidenced by the far greater growth of privately-owned utilities. "The hydro-electric power commission is the judge of its own acts. A commission cannot fairly be the judge of its own (and others') rights in contentions." Naturally, the power produced at Niagara is produced at the lowest cost, continues the report, not only within the Province of Ontario, but upon the entire American continent. This power is transmitted to municipalities, frequently within the same zone as other municipalities receiving electric light and power service from other generating sources. The result is a wide variance of rates because of the difference in generating costs. Under the system of rate-making and public regulation in the United States (California is used as a typical state) as well as in Quebec, it is the aim of electric light and power companies and of regulatory commissions to equalize costs so that as far as possible all communities will be upon an equal basis so far as power costs are concerned, and will not be favored nor penalized because of geographic adjacents, to, or distance from natural power resources. In making its charges the commission uses an "interim", or estimated annual rate. At the end of a fiscal year the municipality purchasing power is either credited or debited with the difference between the estimated rate and the actual cost of producing and delivering the power. The highest "interim" wholesale rates quoted in the 1920 annual report of the commission were between $150 and $160 per horsepower year. Nine municipalities paid a rate higher than the maximum rate quoted, which rate, says the report, generally is the one given for public information. It is apparent, states the report, that both in Quebec and the United States the average price of power to the consumer is less per kilowatt hour when produced by private companies than when produced by government-owned utilities. The investment of all the governmental agencies in electric utilities in the Province of Ontario at the end of the fiscal year of 1920 was $121.232,011, concludes the report, indicating to what extent both the provincial and municipal governments in Ontario are interested in the business of generating and distributing electricity, rather than with the direct functions of government.

For many years he has devoted his spare time to the study and enjoyment of music, and during the last twenty years he has gathered about him about sixty or seventy musical friends who form a private orchestra which he conducts. Prompted by the recent discussion in the London Daily Mail of the subject of "musical meals," he has arranged what should recommend itself to sensitive diners as a model dinner menu program—the musical party of which he "served" personally with his orchestra at the Royal Academy of Music on a recent occasion. Cares Less for Virtue Today, Says Denning LONDON, Mar. 20—The girl of today does not attach so much value to honor and virtue as did the girl of former days, according to Sir Leonard Denning, his Majesty's Inspector of Constabulary, who says that the principal cause for the waywardness of girls is the decay of parental influence. "The woman who sins for a living or because she prefers it to doing honest work," said Sir Leonard, "is being driven out of business by the amateur who sins in order that while preserving her outward reputation she may indulge her craving for what would otherwise be out of her reach. I still believe that a woman by advice and personal influence can do more than a man to protect a girl from the temptations of her nature."
