HOW DOES YOUR

Decision to Be Made at Meeting This Evening as to Whether or Not Tracks Remain in the Glen. Ask Him How He Will Vote and Why.

By ESTHER GRIFFIN WHITfc. How many of those opposed to having the tracks in Glen Miller know that the matter is to be brought up and finally decided this evening in the City Council meeting? The people who want the tracks to remain in the Glen know all about it. They have been busy. Remonstrances are to be handed in with many names of those hitherto indifferent, on the fence or opposed, attached thereto. The councilmen who, for various reasons, want the tracks to remain in the Glen are all ready 10 vote unalterably against having them removed. The people who want the tracks to stay in the Glen know who these councilmeit are. When the tracks were first placed in the Glen those opposed to such action said they, knew nothing about it or would have remonstrated and fought it. There is no excuse now for being unaware of the fact that final decision is to be made tonight. For the whole matter has been commented on at length in the city papers, both in their news columns and editorially. All the lobby against having; the tracks removed will be on hand this evening. It is to be hoped the element against the tracks remaining" will also be present. By the way, how does the councilman in your ward stand on this question? If he's for or against it, why is he for or against? Has he any private interest to serve by being either for or against? And if so, what reason has he for permitting this private interest to influence him in this matter? The writer had a conversation with the rouncilman in her ward the other day. He stated he was unequivocally against it. Why? Because, he stated, the tracks were already there. Let them stay. Also stated that the people on North Twentieth and East Main Streets were against it. That, however, is not to the point. The park belongs to trie people of the town. It isn't what the people on East Main Street or North Twentieth Street want. It's what the people of the city of Richmond want. And a councilman in a ward in which neither of these streets is included should vote according to the sentiment in his ward. Councilmen are put into the council to repress at their wards. It's the Richmond legislature. Each ward elects its representative. And it's his business to find out the sentiment prevailing in his ward on whatever measure is put through council. Oh, well, says Mr. Councilman, I've got as much right to my opinions as you have. Oh, no, you haven't. You represent the consensus of opinion in your ward. Your personal opinion has nothing to do with it. The city of Richmond is the only city in the United States, so far as known, which seems to be trying in every way to mutilate its park system, instead of enhance its beauty. It's useless to say that Glen Miller was not defaced by this abominable track affair. There were contours of ground there which can never be restored to their original form and beauty even if the tracks are taken out. Trees were cut down and despoiled. The track itself is hideous to the eye. The councilman said the tracks didn't hurt the Glen. The writer stated that while North E Street was being repaired last summer the freight cars ran on Main Let Your Laugh at Imagine yourself with two hours extra every day saved from your kitchen work!

COUNCILMAN VOTE?

Street for a month and nobody noticed it. There you are, said the councilman. That's just the reason they might as well run through the Glen. But that is begging the point as well. "It ruins the landscape," said the writer. "Pooh nothing in that," said the councilman. Now in this answer lies the answer to the whole question. A councilman, for personal or civic reasons, perfectly creditable perhaps, may not want the tracks taken from the Glen. But if he can't see why they should be taken out and why they never should have been put in, he has no business to be in" any public office, either minor or more important. A mn who thinks a street-car or traction track doesn't ruin its immediate landscape environ in a city park is a barbarian. He may go to heaven when he dies, but he isn't fit to be in a city council. Mayor Zimmerman i3 the only public official, so far recorded, who has ever seemed to care for the aesthetic ! appearance of the city of Richmond. Let those persons who are always growling about the lack of Interest shown, by municipal officers on these phases of city life now turn out and support the mayor. But it might be a good thing to find out how your councilman is going to vote on this proposition this evening. And why he's going to vote that way.

EDITOR BEING TRIED He Is Charged With Having Murdered a Man.

(Xational News Association) VIENNA, 111., April 15. The case of State's Attorney Thomas H. Sheridan of Johnson county, accused of the murder of Harry Thacker here on September 10, 1919. was called in court today for trial. The killing of Thacker was the result of a bitter arraignment of Thacker's father, Frank Thacker, by Sheridan in his newspaper. Sheridan claims he acted in self-defense. Old Time Delicacies. Swans are coming back into favor as a dish for the table. This reversion to the tastes of our forefathers may lead to a demand for other delicacies once held in high esteem. In the thirteenth century the beron. the crane, the crow, the cormorant and the bittern were considered excellent food. But for some undiscovered reason the hare and the partridge were despised, and in the houses and of the nobles neither was ever seen. Another dish favored by our ancestors was dillegrout. This must have been a special delicacy, for the lord of the manor of Addington held his tenure on the condition ot his presenting the king every year with a dish "called dillegrout. and if fat be added theo it is called malpigeryum."

THE SONG RENEWED By Rev. Parley E. Zartmann. - D. D.. Secretary of Extension Department, Moody Bible Institute, Chicago

TEXT And when the burnt offering began the song of the Lord began also. II Chron. 29:27. This statement occurs in the midst of a dramatic incident in the history of the Children of Israel. Chapter 2S tells of Ahaz, the wicked king who who caused the worship of Jehovah to cease in the temple In Jerusalem, who closed the doors of the mple, and who gave the 1 JSf i 3 i sacred vessels of the temple, as tribute to foreign kings whom he hoped to appease. Chapter 29 tells of Hezikiah, the good king, who required the priests to sanctify themselves and cleanse the temple, who brought back the sacred vessels, and who restored the customary routine of sacrifice and service within the temple. Chapter 30 describes the revival which took place throughout the entire land following the cleansing of the temple and the reotoratlon of the sacrifice. The background is dark enough a polluted temple, the service neglected, God forsaken by the people, the vessels of holiness given away forunholy purposes, and the song of the Lord having ceased in the courts of the temple. Music was a prominent part In the temple service, and it is a prominent part of Christian life. No one has so much right to sing as the man or woman who has been redeemed by the precious blood of Jesus Christ; no one can know such joy as the one who has a sense of forgiveness. There are two or three very plain and practical lessons which emerge from the reading of the chapters connected with the text. 1. God cannot use an unclean thing. So the vital question is, "Is my heart right with God?" God does not ask for golden vessels, God does not ask for silver vessels, but God does ask for clean vessels. Therefore, those of us who have named the name of Christ may well take the place of the Psalmist and say, "Search me, O God, and know my heart; try me, and know my thoughts; and see if there be any wicked way In me, and lead me In the way everlasting." 2. God cannot give power to an unyielded life.

There la a peculiar sense in which it Is true;"He hath filled the hungry with, good things, and the rick he hath sent empty away." 3. Power is to be claimed only upon the conditions of a clean heart and a yielded life Perhaps you have been a Christian many years, and yet for a long time there has been no song in your soul; prayer has been a burden, the word of God has had no meaning to you, and service has been Irksome. Why? It may be: 1. Neglected prayer. God means prayer to be the greatest power in the spiritual world, and although Christians know how to do scores of other things, and although churches use numerous agencies for making the work successful, yet we have lost the secret of the church and the secret of victory in our Christian lives we do not know how to pray.

2. Neglect of God's word. Many a man can find the first step in his career away from God In his neglect of the word of God which is meant, not only for his food, but for his guidance. 80 many of us object to the Bible, or neglect it because its teachings go contrary to some habit which we cherish, or some sin which we commit. 3. Lack of forgiveness or apology. If we are too stubborn to forgive people who have injured us, or too proud to aBk forgiveness of those whom we have injured. God pity us. for there can be no song in the soul until we are right with. Cod and right with our fellowmen. 4. Uncontested and unforsaken sin. This may seem small to the sinner, but sin which Is not confessed and forsaken, closes the eyes against the beauties of heaven, shuts the ears against the songs of heaven, and bars the way to the soul that would enter in. More than that, sin drives joy out of the Christian life. 5. Lack of complete surrender. This is the real meaning of the text, for the burnt offering Indicated that everything was given up to God; and it is only aa we make a complete abandonment of ourselves to God. that he fills us with joy in believing and happiness in Christian service. May it not be that the years of our Christian life have been unfruitful and joyless, and void of music, because we have kept back part of the price which we should have paid to God? Do we not know that there has been a lack of complete surrender, and complete abandonment to him?
