FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 15, 1929 DEATH OF BISHOP HENDERSON The announcement of Bishop Theodore Henderson’s death this week proved quite a shock to churchmen throughout the nation irrespective of denomination or creed, This community was signally favored a few years ago by his presence for an address during College Commencement when by his eloquence as a speaker and his strong personality created an impression that will long be remembered. Speaking of his life work and the progress of church devel­ opment the Springfield Sun has the following to say: ^Bishop Henderson who died suddenly m Cincinnati was every inch a Bishop, He looked the part. He was a man of commanding presence and when he joined any group or enter­ ed any assembly he immediately challenged attention. He was a great preacher. He had passion, fluency of expression, sub­ stance and great eloquence. He was more than the Bishop of his own denomination. He rose above sectarian and denomina­ tional lines and took part in all religious and educational move­ ments of this section. Few men combined so many rare gifts. He was not only a great preacher but he was an organizer and executive- This combination is rather rare in men of his type. The preacher and orator Are not always successful organizers. “But Bishop Henderson could sit down about the table and plan a campaign. He knew the art of working with other men, He was a friendly man. He had great capacity for friendship. He liked people o f all classes. His- death will be a distinct loss to this section. He was a good and useful citizen, All men regardless of creed, race or color respected him.” GOV. rOOPER HAS RIGHT IDEA For several sessions of the legislature bills have been intro­ duced providing for a new state office building in Columbus to cost around $5,000,000. Real estate interests haVe backed the various bills but in the past “ those interested” could not agree. . There is mo question but what the state needs additional room for office space as long as more commissions and,bureaus are created. State pride probably would endorse a new build- ing regardless of the cost or whether such a building was really needed. To date the incentive for a new building rests largely with certain politicians who have real estate under option in Columbus ready for the new building. There are two bills under consideration. One has the sup­ port of Gov. Cooper and this measure provides for a commission of five men to select site and construct the building. We are told the Governor has in minding appointing such outstanding men as Harry Firestone, tire .manufacturer and William Cooper Procter, soap manufacturer, on the commission. The politicians look with disfavor on this bill but the Governor will have, the support of the citizenship of 'Ohio that knows something of the inside -working of politicians in handling such affairs. The other bill provided for certain state officials as a com- mission, the Governor being one of them. Gov, Cooper hsis announced that if ’ this bill is passed' he will veto the meas­ ure. The House i is passed the bill while the’ Senate is expect­ ed to pass the bill creating the commission appointed by the governor. It is to be assumed that the citizens of Ohio would endorse the new, state house bill endorsed by Governor Cooper. A PRACTICAL DIFFICULTY Entirely aside from any theoretical'arguments relative to the advantages and disadvantages of. public and private ownership of utilities, a recent illustration from a town in the Middle West shows graphically an outstanding danger inherent in small municipal plants, In this town the crank shaft of the larger o f two engines in the municipal power house broke, re­ sulting in a serious curtailment of the amount of electricity generated. Both citizens and local industries suffered from a lack o f power and current was frequently shut off entirely dur­ ing the busiest periods of the day. After two weeks of this condition the local newspaper stated: “ The Times office has been hit very hard for the pas two weeks just when it has need of power to get out.its holiday rush of an extra large edition, and much job work. Community pride has kept the Times editor from making public the condi tion of the City Light Plant; but pride and patience have ceasec to be of sufficient weight to keep silent longer, when there is such crying need of efficiency in furnishing sufficient light and power for the business firms of this city to run their establish­ ments whenever necessary.” It is obvious that small municipal plants cannotrbe expected to have the operating advantages of large central power sta­ tions. For this reason privately owner inter-connected systems, serving many localities and operating over widespread territory have come into being, 'with resulting outstanding efficiency, economy and service. $40,635.24 $40,635.24 $ 2,430.19 43.065.43 43.005.43 TAXES AND EDUCATION One of the most important educational steps in years is being considered in the state of California, where a county unit system school law has been proposed and supported by many authorities. . The proposition which was designed by the Taxpayers’ Association, is, briefly, a plan by which all school districts having less than 1500. pupils in average daily attendance, shall be consolidated into one district. ♦At the present time a great number o f school districts have an attendance of only six to 16 students daily. Not only will this plan, if it goes into effect, save the state and the taxpayers vast sums of money, but, as well, it would seem that it would improve educational facilities. Under pre­ sent conditions, it is obviously impractical to equip the small schools with such books and supplies as are enjoyed by the larger institutions. The county unit system would give every school the best of teaching equipment, This plan is of importance not only to California but to every state. It is a rare suggestion that can both improve edu­ cation and lower its cost.

The . commonplace, which corresponds to our bread and butter, is too often overlooked. But without the plodding support- of *■ business and industry, spectacular ideas could never bring practical results. No Where is plodding and continuous support of the social structure more strikingly illustrated than in the case of insur­ ance, It stands as the basis of all credit and without its steady­ ing hand/ a growing industry or an ambitious individual would be left helpless to proceed with a feeling o f safety and security, And yet the insurance business is attacked in a hundred different ways with proposals to tax and restrict it, which, if carried out, would not only ruin insurance but, far worse, would destroy the feeling o f security and confidence which insurance passes on to the individual and industry, We should think of these things when wild schemes are proposed which tend to undermine insurance and thus weaken the foundation of our whole credit structure.

INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOP- {G—Why Should W* Pray 1 YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOP­ IC—Tb* Christian’* Pray*r Llf*. jb. F*l«* Prayar (Matt- 6;5-7), {This consists In 1. Praying to be seen ana heard o* men (v. 5). Many prayers uttered In a public sanctuary are false for therh Is more consideration given to what the people think than to what God thinks. 2, In using vain repetitions (w 7*8) ’ ThlB does not mean that we should ask but once for tbe thing desired, for we huve examples of both Christ and Paul praying three times for the same thing KMatLi 20:89-40, ,11 Cor. 12:7,8), but rather. It means tbe use of meaningless repeUtlons. II. Trus Prayer (Matt 6:6). Since true prayer Is a definite tran­ saction of tbe bou I with God, the com­ munion of Uie human personality with the divine personality, there should be a real desire ft)r fellowship with God, and then "a going to Elm in secret, God wUl abundanUy reward those who’ thus seek His fellowship,' We should have our closet prayers when all the world and Its cares and pleas­ ures are shut out, and we are shut In with hod. We should meet with God’s children and pray together. ill. Ths Modal Prsysr (Matt 6 ; 913). 1. A right relationship (v. 9) "Onr Father.” Only those who have become chil­ dren of God by faith In Jesus Christ can pray aright (Gal, 8:26). One must be a child of God before he can have communion with God. 2. A right attitude (w . 9. 10) ‘’Hal­ lowed he Thy name.” ’ When one realizes that he has been delivered from the power of darkness and translated into the kingdom 'o f His dear Son (Col. 1:13), he cannot help pouring out bis soul in gratitude and. praise, *'itensely- longing for the righteous rule o f Christ on earth. 3. A right 8plrlt' (vv. 11-18). <1>. That o f faith, which looks to God for the supply o f daily bread. We are dependent upon Him for our daily food. (2) That of iove, which result* In forgiveness o f others God wifi not listen to the prayers o f pne’ who h it an unforgiving spirit (3) That o f holiness which moves one to ptay not to he ied Into .tempta­ tion, and longs to be delivered’ from the evil one. IV. The Proper Attitude of Oopl in Prayer (LUKe 18:9-14)» This is illustrated in the prayer o f the Pharisee In contrast with tbe prayer o f the publican. Observe 1. The prayer of the proud Pharisee (vv. 9-12). . He took a striking attitude (V. 11), He was self-rIghteouS and trusted In himself. He congratulated -himself upon his morality. He,.thanked God that be was not as other men. He congratulated himself for his religious merits (v. 12). He fasted twice a «hd gave tithes at an oa poe gassed. He thus informed God that he did more than what was required Implying that God was under obilg* tion to him. 2, The prayer of the humble pub­ lican (v. 18), in striking contrast with the Pbar isea, the publican was too ashamed at his sins to even lift bis eyes, to heaven. He beat upon his breast as s sign o f soul anguish and cried opt to God to be merciful to him, a sinner. Christ declared that tbe publican went away justified, rather than ths Pharisee, V. Confidence In Prayer (I John 5 ; 14,15). L Its basis (r. 13), Only those who have knowledge o f ths reality o f salvation can pray with confidence. U one has assurance that he 4s God’s child and possesses eter­ nal life, he will come Into the presence o f his Father with boldness, % The scope of Ms prayer (v. 14), “ Anything according to His will.” The believer has a right to bring to God in prayer anything within the scope of the divine will. 8. The blessed issue of tbe believer’s prayer (v. 16). "We know that we have the petition that wa desired of Him." Gild’s chi) dren coming to Him for that which is included In His will can be assured of receiving tbe things needed.
