Out of 115 votes taken during a poll handled by Police Chief Neil Sneed the aouiri v. .is a fraction over three to one for the meters. There were 15 merchants v. ho were neutral on the question with 75 in favor and 24 against. 'those figures seem a clear indication to which way Council members vote when a parking meter motion is made During the last meet:rig. when Chief Sneed's report wis made, the actual motion and voting w.is postponed until the next .reeting. 'The postponement was probab'y a wise move. Murphy iia- waited this long we can wait until the next meeting so that Council members can inves tigate the matter and give it more thought before tile final vote. j When we consider {h i even if the 15 neutral vote, wr* given to the side against the meter*. r,. vote would still be almost two to one tor the meters, we believ ? lYil ( ouncil will decide at ?' next meeting t.-. install the meters.

Drvtlltnti Ketdlui: EphetUn* 9:11-22 HOW do we know Christianity is true? How do we know Jesua ; was right? How do we know re ligion is not a very fancy illusion? . It is a fair question. When E. Stan- ' ley Jones was talking about his Christian faith to a group of pro fessors in a grgat university, one of them rose to ask him: "How do you know all this is not a hallucina tion?" "Well." said Dr. Jones, "if religion is a hallucination and I am ' crazy, then I am thankful; for this insanity' has done more for me than all the 'sanity' I had before." Dr. Jones did not sup pose that he could answer all the riddles about re ligion that any one can think of. But I he did know Jesus ur* ^orrman and he knew what Jesus had done for him. G. Studdert-Kennedy was another thorough-going Christian. At the end of a pcem on ' Faith** he says something I ke this: "You think Christianity is an argument, but it is not. It is a choice: and I choose Christ.** ? ? ? One Thing I Know' The Bible story for this week tells about a young rivan who- did r.ot claim to know-much If you had put him in'.o a modem theological seminary he could not have passed an examination in "Chrislology" to save his life. In fact, it seems doubtful whether he would even be admitted to membership in some orthodox churches today. The theo logical experts of his church, the Pharisees, in fact tried to grill him. They tried to confuse him, they wanted Kim to admit that Jesus was a fake, a liar, all the bad things they kept saying he was But the young man stuck to one point. He does not seem to have been well educated. It may be doubted whether he could have met those Pharisees in a formal debate. But he stuck to his one point. "One thin know, that though 1 was bli 1 see." The best proof that JcSus was right, that Chris tianity is true. Is not arguments from books, it is the argument from people. It is what Christ has done for 'them, it is the difference between what they were before they met Jesus and what they were afterwards. ? ? ? Samples In an American seminary the same year, studying for the Chris tian ministry, were a Japanese and an African. Their ancestors did not speak the same language Only a few years ago the father of the Japanese boy was an officer in the Japanese army fighting the Americans. Neither he nor his wife was a Christian; but after the fa ther's death the boy came to know some Christian missionaries, and now instead of an errand of death his aim is to return to his own people on an errand of life. "1 can see now," the young man said, "that Japan was wrong." Christ had opened his eyes to a way of life, and of truth, which has changed his whole life and will change others. As for the African, a lew generations back his people were as far from Christian as the Japanese officer. Then some one thought it worth while to tell the story of Jesus in Africa . . . and now this boy, son of native African Christians, is another demonstra tion that Christianity is true. You would not have found it safe to sit down with some of his ancestors (nor with some of your own, for that matter!); but you would be glad to have him in your Sunday school class. ? ? ? Prevention Mission Not all the "samples" of Chris tianity are as dramatic as ex cannibals, or sons of former idol worshippera. For every "rescue mission" there are many "preven tion missions"?for the ordinary little church ir just that. Consider what a community would be with out the church, consider what the church members would be without their religion. Granted that church members do not Uve up to their possibilities or their professions. We do not want to tear down the hospitals because they do not cure all the diseares. We do not abolish medicine because'some people take It and are not quite cured. We know the world ii better for hos pitals and medicines, imperfect as they are. So We know that Chris tianity docs work. We do not see great saints every week, more's the pity. But you do not lave to look far from your own home to" see some living proofs that Christ has power.
