hold a lovo feast in Athletic hall this
evening. For some days there was talk
of Dr. Albert Kolb' seeking tho nomin
ation for school controller but so far
ho has not definitely announced him
self, On the other hand It was learned
that ii conference was held yesterday
and so far Peter Neuls, at present the
ward's representative on the school
board, Is the only avowed aspirant for
the honor and In conversation last ev
ening stated that he did not expect
any opposition.
Sir. Neuls Is particularly anxious to
continue on the board so that he can
carry out the plans, already under
way, to replace old No, S school In the
Second district, with a largo new
structure combining all modern Im
provements, and ho hoptts to have tho
support of till citizens who desire this
much needed Improvement because
having served olio term he will bo
more likely to secure recognition than
ii new representative would.
Their Is no apparent opposition for
I ho mlno." offices and the only candi
date mentioned so far for constable Is
Charles Sllrtz, jr. Tho assessorshlp
will probably go to one of the other
two districts so ns to add strength to

Christians should do; another bears wllne-ss for
(.'hiM by isitlug the fatherless and widow-. In
their ntlllctioii, and by taking a deep practical
interest in homos for the Iricmllossj-tliu, in a
thousand ways, Christiana may beiomo ChrKt'a
witiiCA.es. Theie is. not a Christian on earth who
may not be, and who should not be, a witness
for Christ. C'lniM needs them. Ills cliurcli needs
them. They are needed al home, they nre needed
abroad, and they will continue to be needed
until the blcvdngs of Christ's, gorpcl will reach
the ntteimost put of th" earth.

2. Hut witnesses, mut haic great power be
foie they can accomplish this lcsult. So Christ
fa, and He tells tis what Is the tecret a.s well
as the souice of this power: Ve fhall rcceiw
power after that Ihe Holy (ihc-t is come upon
jou," Hence it appear that nieir comcroion Is
not enough to in ike line an efficient witness for
Chiist. 'Ihe apostles were converted when C'liri-t
told them that they neded power, and tint they
lould not be Ills witnessed until they leeched
that power,
A meie profession "of faith in Cluint is not
enough to make, one a strong witness for ChrNt.
A wlutes.s that will stand the test befoie the
woild's jury and under the seere cioss-ovimin-ntion,
must lue some Mionger power to lean
upon than a meie piofcssion of his faith. In Ihe
tiial c.f a cause, the character of Hie wltne-u is
not always fully exemplified in ids direct-examination.
It is the cross-examination tint tests
his character and his truthfulness. And It is cen
so with Chust's witne-v.es. S-oinp of thin cJu
not stand the test of men a mild, much less of
a rigid cross-examination. Their manner of life
contradicts their profession. They profess that
they know find, but In woiks they deny Iliin
Titus I: 10). At times all looks fair. (In the
Sabbath, and at tho Lord's table they act like
C'liUttiaiis. Hut at home, in business. In ton
xersation, in conduct, In fidelity to their tens
ions obligations on 'hese points nuiny wit-nc.-cs
will break down under cross.-examinatlon.
Hence it is well to eniphas're the fact that a
mere formal piofcs.ion of fillli in Jesus Christ
Is not enough to make one an cilkient uilm-9
for Chii-t. Wc need a power above and lie and
that. Wc need the power which CluM's apos
tles needed, namely, the powci of the Holy
(Jho-t.
Peter owed allegiance to ClirUI, and declared
that lie would die rather than deny Illm. Hut
lie did deny Him and forsook Him. Hut look at
Peter after lie had leccbed the Holy (ihost! Fee
Illm on the day of l'cnteeo-,t ! Theie lie was n
lo.Mil and tiue witness, and it would be easier
to" move a mountain from Us base, than to in
duce lilni to deny his I.oid and Master. So .lani'.s
and .John xowed allegiance to Christ, but how
Inconsistent tliej; were, and how destitute of
Christ's spiilt when they wanted to call down fire
fiom heaien to destroy tho Samaritans. They
did not fully realize until the.v lcciived the Holy
(ihost tint .lesiia came not to de-tioj men's lie-,
but to nc them.
Tin: rowuu Ni:i:i)Ui).
And lids Is the power that the CI11i3tl.u1 iliuiili,
as .1 whole, needs today, linked. 1I1S is the
power that each Christian petti,,, in older tu nuke
Illm an cftutle Clnistljii witne. This U the
power that will liicuk down the scepticism, ami
the indllteiei.ee, and tlio ease in Ziou with which
the ihvie.li of I'luM is affiliated.

Why was tills? How did It happen? The only
answer Is that the witnossc. for (lufst uccieed
