John Imhof s)oke Sunday morning at the First i.nristian : I church on the text: '"Where there is . r.n i r. n tVio r.iinnlo jv) off re- straint." "The Hebrew people," he ia.id. "had many visions. leaders spoke as those who w ere influenced j oy some great force other than themselvc?:. Prophets were sensitive truth and put their message tn liures of speech that left a deep impression upon the people. They spoke a moral messagre to satisfy the inner life of their followers. The Hebrews have left a record of their life and work that shall be known throughout the entire world because they taught man in his relationship i to God." Preferring; to the coming; of the Pilgrim fathers and what they ac complished as an inspiring; illustra tion of what can be done ry a small sroup of people. Mr. Imhof said: "There never has been a time when a ision of the truth war more In demand than at the present. The world is in the midst' of Intense suf fering; from starvation, wounds, and broken ideals. The war has taught us that sin Is real in the world, and all the i roblems presented will not be solved for many years to come. In the war and after the war it Is cur duty to be loyal to the best knowledge of truth we have. Howards for Humble. "Improvements in travel should help us prow in our work. An in creased knowledge of geography and history has made us more responsi ble to Africa. China and South America. William Corey got a vision of India with a map before him. Our wonderful opportunities give us tasks that few men fully realize. "It is a time for emphasis on character. Rewards should be given those who are humbTe, helpful and Christlike. The vicious must be taken to task for their bad influ ence upon others. This is a time for social responsibility. The church like an individual if It would find itself It must lose itself to tho great principles of life for which it stands. Every community has tasks too important to be passed by with out careful study and earnest ef fort. The highest form of patriot ism is in demand. The men and millions movement comes with an appeal that every member should face prayerfully, thoughtfully and squarely. As the 20th century lim ited used to go across the country toward New York, usually on time, with wonderful poise and terrific speed, so the individual should move toward the king of God with faith, vision and effort." UN ASKED T Committee Requests That All Women Register Now to Save Time. Registration among the women of the city is going on steadily, but more slowly that: is desired by the committee in charge of the polls. It is requested that all women register S IE left I once as the delay Keeps many i women occupied at the polls and ne Ictssitates considerable loss of time. The period for registration is limit id and all possible pressure is being j brouKlll to bear upon registrants to : .-,tteml to the matter at once, Considerable satisfaction is felt by j n.p committee that tne registration j are nKl(Je with such abflute reaai- i i;ess by the women.

Nearly .100 people enjoyed the in- uiauon tanqua ui vwu.. cil. No. 1SS, Knights or Loiumous, j at S t Jo enhK hall Sunday evening:. ! Entertainment was provided by the sophomore quartet of Notre Darne university. Walter O'Keefe of the university, and the Liberty orches tra. The committee in charge of the affair was composed of Messrs. W. A. Kraus, W. H. lloerstman, A. Pesinger, G. l-utterknecht and L. Weber. The second and third de grees were confened Sunday after noon, the latter being exemplified by Stephen A. Callahan and his assist ants of Fort Wayne. George A. Lang, acting as chair man and toastmaster, introduced the speakers of the evening, District Deputy James F. Kines and ex-Sen. Robert E. Proctor. The audience was afforded a delightful surprise in the person of the Belgian consul, Dr. Cyriel Yermeren ot Chicago, who addressed the audience. Dr. Yermeren was in the city Saturday evening to assist at the mass meet ing of the Pelgian people. Tells of Knighthood. Prof. Hines spoke on "Knight hood and Service." and told of the order from the time of its inception to the present, showing the ideals for which it has stood and proving beyond possibility of question its pa triotic devotion to the government. He related the historical facts of America's birth, when Columbus braved the terrors of the unknown seas to establish a new nation, and offered as evidence the part the church has played in the nation's history, the heroism of LaSalle, Mar quette, Balboa and others of the early explorers. That the knights have stood glor iously firm in all time3 of the na tion's peril and distress. wa shown by Prof. Hines. who described the part they have taken- in even war since the revolution, in which La fayette played so noble a part and down to the present war which has called to the colors '.he flower of America's Catholic manhood. Describing the courage and hero ism of Belgium, to whom he paid tribute. Prof. Hines stated that the world has found a new Leonidas in the brave Cardinal Marcier of Bel gium. He concluded by stating that he conceived a vision of the new peace treaty which is to corne when the allied nations have vanquished their common foe. at which the church will be represented as a de fender and supporter of the glorious Stars and Stripes. Dr. Yermeren Speaks. Dr. Yermeren. when called upon, told of the knighthood of Belgium, and in their name presented the greetings of the little nation to their brothers in America. He paid lov ing tribute to Albert, king of the Belgians-, and the knight of knights, and to Cardinal Marcier and the generals of the Belgian army who nave achieved fame in the present war. Dr. Yermeren reviewed the kais er's boast that he would lunch in Paris, but declared that the little i Belgians, who stood in his way. spoiled the broth. He remarked that it would require only den. Persh ing's efforts to totally discourage the war lord in his ambitions to lunch In Paris. In honor of the distin guished isitor the audience rose and sang one stanza of "America." Ex-Sen. Proctor's address was thoroughly patriotic in character, and he reviewed the part which the Knights of Columbus have played at all previous times in the country's history and will continue to play. He appealed strongly to the loyalty of his audience and urged them to stand back of the president in every undertaking.

As an inducement to bring about the erection of a comfort station in naiteu park, a living near the resident of the city park has presented to the board of public works an of fer to defray half of the expenses of euch an improvement up to the sum of $1.000. This is a facility badly needed in the north side park and repeated petitions have been made to the city to take care of the situation. The matter is being considered and will in all probabil ities result in the much needed im provement. Bids on the Beiger st. tewcr, which have been proposed were submitted by Staples and Ackerman at the board meeting Monday morn ing, the estimated cost to be $2 on the regular 12-inch sewer pipe. The matter was referred to Engineer Stevens. No bids were fc'Jbmitted on the Peiger st. pavement. Petitions lYcscntol.

City Itatos Not AfTcoted. City Atty. Ralph Jernegan re ported on the matter of an increase in the rates of the C.. S. B. and X. T. Ry. Co. The proposed increase will not affect the local lines, as previously supposed, but, according to a communication received from T. F. G rover and IL R. Waare of the company, will involve only the tnterurban lines. Street Commissioner Charles Doo- little reported on the condition of the Logan st. road south from town about which a complaint and peti tion was tiled two weeks ago by residents south of the city. The road is, according to the commis sioner, in as good condition a it is possible to maintain with permanent improvement. In the matter of the east end park ! improvement, it was reported that no action has been taken following the submitting of plans by the Swain-Nelson landscape Gardening Co. of Chicago. The president of the company, A. C Nelson, was in the city during the past week and made a proposition to the city whereby the park site might be developed.
