CHRIST’S POVERTY TOLD IN SERMON ‘We Must Put Love of God Into Depths of World.’ “We must get the love of Almighty God into the depths of the world,” Dr. J. S. Bunting of St. Louis, Mo., today at the noonday Lenten service at Christ Episcopal Church. Dr. Bunting based his sermon upon the “unsearchable poverty of Jesus Christ,” in which he discussed the life of Christ on earth. “Christ had no property and only a few clothes," Dr. Bunting said. “You don't express your love by just telling someone about it. It won't get across. You must give and when you begin to give the real meaning of your love begins to go over. Friday noon he will speak on “The Serenity of Jesus.” FARM RELIEF BILL SUPPORTSOUGHT State Agricultural Bureau Urges Organized Aid. Letters urging support of the Mc-Nary-Haugen agricultural relief bill went out today from the Indiana Farm Bureau Federation to county secretaries and presidents.

Settle, president, in Washington working for enactment of the bill, wrote that farm bureaus all over the country have sent representatives.

Deery of St. Catherine’s Catholic Church, preached Wednesday night on the “Weakness of Protestantism.” The Rev. Deery said “The chui h's message to the world Is the message of Christ. The story of heresy Is the story of religioius bodies originating and seeking to perpetuate a church formed according to a plan devised by man, proclaiming doctrines antagonistic to Christ. “The Catholic church speaks with authority on birth control, suicide, divorce and spiritism. Private interpretation, as a substitute for authority, Is a principle of discord and disintegration.”

An appeal for stranphnagers' suggestions on improving street car service by rerouting cars and making other changes, was Issued today by Taylor Groninger, corporation counsel. “We need the Indianapolis Street Railway,’’ said Groninger, “and if we can get public sentiment behind the project to re-route cars and speed up traffic, it will be a great help in solving the situation. The company probably can make improvements in its service and really reduce operating expenses if certain suggestions take definite form.” With the announcement that he would appoint John N. Feasey, purchasing agent of the Pettis Dry Goods Cos., to head a citizens committee on rerouting cars, Groninger said other members of the committee may ho named today.

petition teday. McCardle will sit as presiding commissioner. Suggestions on improving street car service have already reached Gronlngtr’s office in the city hall. The “double transfer” giving some of the advantages of cross-town car service was suggested by W. S. Stemen, 29 Norman Court. Stemen proposed that in some the car company should issue a transfer an another transfer. He pointed out that residents north of Thirty-Fourth St. on College Ave. desiring to reach points on Northwestern Ave. should be given a transfer at Thirty-Fourth St. and College Ave., and then again at Twenty-First and Illinois Sts. for Northwestern cars. Accounting Started Groninger said this suggestion probably could be worked out satisfactorily with street railway officials. Operations of the company will be delved into by the public service commission, McCardle said today as the commission laid preliminary plans for ; hearing the petition. Harry Boggs, chief accountant, has begun an audit of the company hooks with the aid of two assistants. Tt will probably be completed in ten days. One hundred street cars have been purchased by the company since 1913, records show. Payments are being made semi-annually over a ten-year period, and the indebtedness assumed by the Indianapolis Car Equipment Company operating under the Indianapolis Street Railway Company. REV.
