Who Is Mayor'* Authority?
Nobody questions, tue sincerity
of Mayor W. Don Goodwin in hi?
Statement that the utility corpor
ations could have held up the city
for the next ton years,In Its effort
to build Its own ntIIItIoh. but one
can't help wondering who Ik the
Mayor's authority for this state
ment. We have heard such a
statement before but it emanated'
from the Hps of the learned and
suave counsel representing the j
Utilities corporations.
The Advancc Is as far from be
ing a lawyer as It Is a prophet,
Vut, despite the notorious delay
of the courts In some matters,
from a purely common sonse view
point we can not conceive that the (
instrumentalities of legal Justice |
would ever have permitted priv
ate corporations to hamstring and i
hog -tie s city for any such period.
Had the city wished to avoid the |
sapense of litigation the time to j
have taken that course was when
Mayor Goodwin was elected to of
fice In his first l?>rm, After hav
ing fought the Issue out to n sue-'
?ensfill conclusion in every suit
Instituted by the Utilities, to autl-j
4?nly abandon the flftht without
AO? effort to realize anything on
yletorlea In the courts seems to
,'JM the most Imprudent and III
flkvlsed action we have ever I
known the city's governing body
to take.
The Advance doc* not wish to
create the impreaalon that it be
lle vea anybody hag been t m pro p
erly influenced in thia matter,
but we do atrongly believe that
the mayor and thoae who think
aH he docs on the utility quentlon1
have been duped.

dent enough to hope that Wash

strangulation and make us trem
ble to contemplate the telegraph

if with the bases full Kuel could
have got a two bagger and
I brought in three in the ninth, we
.would have been willing to stand

Such testimony as that of D.

Cod never duplicate*. lie never

If you are e\p?*ctinM this revival

ous hlessliiK. you will he mistak
en. It will h?- entirely different?
provided it I* ftf-fkwl'?and it Is. ~
"Uut you ?ay "revivals don't
last.' To lie sure many features
of a revival don't last. There
are some thing* that are not In
tended to last. Spring doesn't
lust.^hut it is essential as- Is the
case with fall, winter and suin
?HHf;?Tli. bliiuin mi a fruit ir .

an- many things about till? re
vival that won't last, hut if it lit of
God the results of this cam

"Well, you ask 'What effect
will It have on tlie churches?'
That depends <>n the rhurch. If
the church is run in the * nergy
of the flesh. It will suffer front
any spiritual awakening In u
spiritual church, it will he splr
iUMtily rofxfc?tu.4 aud -invigorated
and wilt lake on new life. Too. if
the church gets revived and layt
hold of a new vision. but (he pas
tor do?? not get revived with his
people and after th?* meeting trie?

.?' 1 ruts of fl..?hv i-i-tTgy ihf n.->r
tor will suffer, but a pantor who
catcbe* a vision and leads bin
awakened people into ? the new
field* which Uod will open up in
this revival that rhurch will be ?
flower. A spiritual rhurrh Is the
greatest safe-guard in your com*
munity. Wherever you find im
iii'iriiln y Hn.l erinn* it 1? ?? ? > r; 11 n
indication of a low stair of spirit?
itallty. Whore a people I* spirit
ual; the Jail i?r? empty, crime In
restrained and the atmosphere of
the town 1* welcome. but where,
rainality anu spiritual indifler
i lire prevail, it always results in
riini", Immorality and an un
healiliy atmosphere. The Chris
tin ni? the ^alt v?f-tht^-earth. It 1? ?
not Ihe mission of salt to give'
life, but rather to restrain putre
faction. Lot wa? a Chirstinn. but
he lost his savor und the putre
faction of Sodom went on all
around him. If you see moral
decay and putrefaction, you may
hi?w ?i"d'? pv'M'lr hnv lout tliuir

the eyes of your fellows. Some of
yoa are allowing yourself to be
influence?! by rumors to the ex
tent that you are forming definite
agreements as to what you will
or will not do. Don't blam?* me

When God begin* to work and
you ?? e that you will be placed in

My advice to nil ol you is to re

Vou will rind that tn this meet

you to do and we will ask you to .
qui! notbitiK. You need to know
about Cod. it Is my mission to teil
you of Him; you need to know
about man and his natural deprav

it _js_ iny .business to tell you "f

save you from falling victim to his
wlleH_and deceptions. ?
"That is my purpose here?to
show yon Cod and his plan (or hU
creature?U. Is for jroo to act upoft
your new light. There U no neck
for you to come to me and at$
in?* what you can do or can't do.'
I n?-ver give a definite answer. You
learn to know God and waat
can and can't do wtll be rarjr
clear to you for to know God la
to lore Him. to love Him 1* to ba
lieve ou Him and to believe on
Him is to have life eternal."
