Among the citations which comprise the lesson-sermon is the following from the Bible; And behold, there was a woman which had e spirit of infirmity eighteen years, and was bowed together, and could in r.o wise lift up herself. And when Jesus a v he called her to him. and said unto her. Woman, thou art loosed from thine infirmity. And he laid his hands on her: and immediately she was made straight, and glorified God. "Luke 13 11-13.' The lesson-sermon also includes the following passages from the Christian Science textbook, “Science and Heath with Key to the Scriptures,” by Mary Baker Eddy: Our Master cast out devils (evils) and healed the sick. It should be said of his followers also, that they cast fear and ail evil out of themselves and others and heal the sick. God will heal the sick through man. whenever man is governed by God. Truth casts out eror now as surely as it did nineteen centuries ago. All of Truth is not understood; hence its healing power is not fully demonstrated. a a a COLLEGE HEAD TO GIVE TALK Dr. Homer P.

EDITH MASON WILL BE GUEST ARTIST I Mendelssohn Choir Will Give Its Final Concert of the Present Season at the Murat Theater. AMERICAN music and American compositions will be featured almost exclusively by the Mendelssohn choir in the twelfth annual spring concert which will be given Monday, April 29, at the Murat by this singing organization. In carrying out the idea of an all-American program Elmer Andrew Steffen, the choir’s conductor, has selected his choral numbers to cover the widest possible scope of American composers, including such eminent men as Henry K. Hadley. James P. Dunn, J. Rosamond Johnson, Geoffrey O'Hara and Ralph Baldwin. The assisting soloist of this concert, Edith Mason, prima donna so-

prano of the Chicago Civic Opera Company, is also an American artist who has helped to spread the name of America as a music center in several countries of Europe. Only one or two deviations from the All-American idea will be heard during the concert and these will be the singing of one or two favorites sung most successfully by the Mendelssohn choir before and to be sung by request. An entirely new composition, never sung anywhere before, will be the rendition of an original composition by James P. Dunn and especially dedicated to the Mendelssohn choir of Indianapolis and its conductor, Mr. Steffen, entitled “The Haven of Dreams.” It is a fantastic composition in which the humming of “women’s voices are made to imitate the fitful winds accompanied by the deep basses which remind of the diminishing rolls of thunder after a storm. The rendition of this number will be awaited with much interest. One of the major numbers of the concert will be the singing of Ralph Baldwin’s “Canticle of the Sun,” a beautiful choral * setting in eight parts of the famous song of St. Francis of Assissi. Among the numbers of a lighter nature will be two Negro spirituals by Rosamond Johnson, entitled Lord Says He’s Gwineter Rain Down “Walk Together. Children” and “My Fire.” A tender and appealing motet to be given without accompaniment will be Healy Villan’s “How They So SofUy Rest.” As the closing number of the concert the choir will sing "Music’s i Glory” from Henry K Hadley prize : cantata, “In Music’s Praise.” This is a joyous and majestic six-part chorus in which the full vocal strength of the choir will be heard. Edith Mason, the guest artist of the concert, is one of the great personalities of the stage, who command international attention. Her work this past season, as the lyric soprano of the Chicago Civic Opera was a series of successive triumphs. tt tt a t IIOOL TO HAVE A CONCERT The A. S.

CHINESE WAR ASJCTATOR Chiang Kai-Shek's Hold on Nation Strongest ol Any Man in Years. B;t United Pr, is SHANGHAI. April 6.—Chiang Kai-Shek head of the Nanking nationalist government, stood out today as the virtual dictator of China as a result of the rapid capture of Hankow and the apparent collapse of the Kwangsi rebellion. Chiang announced he would continue his drive until the Kwangsi clique entirely has been eliminated. Should he succeed in a rapid disposal of the rebel armies which have retreated across the border into South Hunan it was believed today he would be in a stronger position in China than any war lord since the tall of the Manchu dynasty. The success of the nationalist president is attributed to three primary causes. Gets Powerful Backing First, the ending of the difficulties with the Japanese government; second, his success in obtaining the, neutrality of the Canton government in the Hankow war; third, and perhaps the most important, his ability to get the backing of the powerful Marshal Feng Yu-Hsiang. The only uncertain elements now standing between Chiang Kai-Shek and unification of China were the Kwangsi, who, though temporarily beaten, still are numerous; Chang Tsung-Chang and his rebel army in Shangtung, and the so-called Chili political clique, with Peping as headquarters. May Unite Republic It generally was agreed, however, that if Marshal Feng Yu-Hsiang continued to lend his support to Chang Kai-Shek, China eventually, and for the first time in history, would become a united republic. The gigantic task of reducing the armies throughout China and applying taxes for utilitarian purposes will begin only when the current military campaigns are over, it was understood. $135,000 HOME BURNS Marion Residence One of Finest in Section of State.

HOOVER BALL TOSSING TIME LENGTH! NOW President and Friends Throw 8-Pound Weight 15 Minutes. BY RAY TUCKER Times staff Correspondent WASHINGTON, April 6 Two weeks of tossing an eight-pound medicine ball has >o toughened the muscles of President Herbert Hoover and his calisthenic -abinet that they can now go through fifteen minutes of strenuous exercise instead of the five-minute period they began on. The first few mornings says them assembling at 7:15 and straggling into an impromptu toast-and-coffee room tor ;; preliminary breakfast five minutes later. Now they can last t!m longer period without pulling up with lame muscles or out of breath. More Difficult Rules They have even made the game more difficult. At first, the one who was “it” stood in the center until he deflected the ball as it was passed around the circle. The one who was supposed to catch the ball, but did not because of the deflection, then became "it.” Now a ruling has been made that if the ball is caught on the bounce, it doesn't count as a penalty. President Hoover is said to have received gre from the systematic exercise. He does not show signs of weariness as he did at the beginning. The group gathers shortly after 7, All wear old clothes, and as they troop in and out the White House gates nobody would suspect their outstanding position in official life. Following the game, all sit down in a semi-breakfast room just off the playground behind the White House. East Light Breakfast Fruit—usually orange juice—toast and coffee suffice. After cleaning off some of the dust and grime the President's playmates leave for their homes, where most of them eat a more hearty breakfast. President Hoover has his about 8. Arthur M.
