Admonishing a life of service and not particularly for selfish gain, Dr. F. A. Dressel, pastor of the First English Lutheran cnurch, preached the baccalaureate serman to the graduating class of senior high school Sunday afternoon He used r.s illustration the life of Daniel. The largest graduating class ever known in the history of the high school was present for the service. In addition, there were several hundred relatives and friends in attendance. Dr. Dressers subject was "Purpose." He said in part: "Among all Old Testament saints Daniel towers colossal. Many of the foremost of them were guilty of sins which the Bible holds up to the sever

might have the golden touch.
when this desire was gratified he awakened to his awful mistake. In an
agony of remorse King Midas prayed !
for pity, pardon and forgiveness. Cites Parable. "The old Greeks knew that forgiveness is with God. And so King Midas, the miser, was redeemed from avarice, and the old poet warned men against covetousness and held the selfish back from the miser's fate. The story of King Midas is a parable, that Christ condensed into this single sentence: "What shall it profit a man if he be gien the whole world and lose his own soul? or what shall i man give in exchange for his soul?" "Daniel purposed in his heart that

world's work is being done by men and women between the aares of 45
and 70. That means that if you are to do your best work you must care for your body so that you will have a fit instrument with which to do your best work." Dr. Dressel also spoke about the need of religion and showed the difference between morality and religion; between the negatives of Moses, and the positives of Jesus. He closed by complimenting the members of the class of 1921 upon what they had already accomplished, and pointed out how that their future success as their present attainments depended upon work and much hard work. He hoped that each member of the class would be able to say: "Dare to be a Daniel, Dare to staid alone. Dare to have a purpose firm and Dare to make it known."

paratavely pure because so situated that they are. never specially exposed to the fiery ordeal of temptation. Daniel Kept Faith. "Daniel, however, walked upon the high places of the earth where the going is always perilous and spent his life in the encompassment of the soft seductions and perilous intrigues of an oriental court. He was a man of
broadest culture, versed in all the learning in his time, and yet he never lost his head nor allowed himself to be lured away from the simple faith of his pious fathers. "He was a stranger in a strange land, a captive and a slave a representative of a race despised and hated, and yet he rose to be the foremost man in that foremost realm in which he lived. He lived a hundred years, dur
ing seventy of which he stood head and shoulders above all the men of his time. And not only did he win the very highest distinction for himself, but as the stalwart representative of Judaism he was largely instrumental in securing for his countrymen comfortable conditions in captivity and in obtaining from Cyrus those extraordinary decrees in persuance of which the city of David was joyfully rehabited by returning Jews. Urges Study. "Such a record as was made by this man is perhaps without a parallel in all the history of the human race. We will do well to study such a life with the view of finding if we may wherein his great strength lay and to ask how it was that he stood where so many fall? And how it came to pass that he distanced all competitors and forged to the front, and in spite of all the machinations of men and devils stayed there so long, governing governors and swaying a royal sceptor over mighty emperors? "The text tells the story. That was the keynote of that masterful life. "Daniel purposed in his heart that he would defile himself by selfishness. His life was to be measured by service and not by gold. How much can 1
give and not how much can I get was to be the motto of his life. Dr. Dressel then told the story of King Midas as given by Homer. "King Midas' greatest desire was that he

City Manager Govern-
arded in Many Cities
V Plan More Efficient, More Economical; More Responsive to the Will of the People and Responsibility More Easily Fixed There are now more than 200 cities throughout the United States that are conducting the city government under city manager plans. These vary in size from a few thousand to more than two hundred thousand. Not a single one of the cities that has tried the plan has gone back to the old federal plan.
WICHITA, KANS. (72,128) ' j Developed Greater Efficiency in Service W. E. Holmes, Secretary, Board of Commerce: "Wichita has now had about three years' experience under the city manager form of government. The plan has eliminated politics from the city government; has developed greater efficiency in service; is more economical as to administration; affords ah opportunity for more wholesome, healthy and moral social conditions, and is much more responsive to the wants of the people. It is an ideal business form of government." ALAMEDA, CALIF. (2S,S0S) Means Economy, Dispatch Efficiency E. C. Soules, Secretary, Chamber of Commerce: "The city manager form of government has proved a distinct success in Alameda, and is so considered by a large majority of citizens. It is a big factor in the development of the city, lending efficiency, economy and prompt action to all municipal undertakings." A. D. Oliver, Banker: "With a competent city manager, familiar with all details, it is much easier to induce representative citizens to take an interest in the city's affairs by serving on the various boards. I believe that the general opinion in Alameda is that the change has been entirely successful, resulting in economy and great efficiency." ASHTABULA, OHIO (22,0S2) Has Idea of Modern Business H. W. Luethi, Manager, Chamber of Commerce: "We believe the city manager plan is in line with the idea of modern business in centralizing responsibility and thereby securing the most efficient service. It has produced splendid results in Ashtabula, has brought about more efficient government, and the people are well pleased with it." JACKSON, MICH. (48,375) Eliminates the So-Called "Pull" C. F. Holland, Secretary, Chamber of Commerce. "From Jackson's "experience we give the following as some of the advantages of the city manager plan: Centralized responsibility; quicker action on projects; a greater equality among classes of citizens as regards civic affairs; that is elimination of the so-called 'pull;' elimination of politics from city affairs." MUSKEGON, xMICH. (36,570) Makes City Government Good Busines s T. A. McCarthy, Secretary, Chamber of Commerce: "The city manager plan is a big step forwardin municipal government, and should the people of Sacramento adopt it their

only regret will be that they did not inaugurate it long ago. The city manager method makes municipal government just exactly what it should be good business. The one outstanding advantage is that it centralizes authority and, at the same time, it fixes definitely the responsibility for carrying out the people's wishes. It does away with the favorite pastime under the other forms of government, namely, 'passing the buck.' " PHOENIX, ARIZ. (29,053) Would Not Go Back to Old Style C. H. Akers, Publisher: "I am not sure that you could get a business man in Phoenix to go back to the old style of government. Our city manager seems to be the most popular man in this whole town, simply because the method, as used by the Commission and Manager, is working out with splendid, good results." NORFOLK, VA. (115,777) Politics Entirely Eliminated Barton Myers, President, Chamber of Commerce: "The city manager form of government has completely transformed conditions in Norfolk. Its superior efficiency is so generally recognized that under no circumstances would we return to the former system." GRAND RAPIDS, MICH. (137,634) Petty Politicians Object Lee H. Bierce, Secretary, Chamber of Commerce : "We like the city manager plan because it permits of greater efficiency. There is only one element that is disgruntled with the new form of government. It is composed of some petty politicians of small calibre who used to run the city but are not considered big enough to do so at the present time." XENH, OHIO (9,110) Meant Passing of Old Political Machines Lewis C. Tingley, Secretary, Chamber of Commerce: "We consider the city manager plan a great success, and it is giving this city a cleaner and more efficient government than before. After two years' experience we have found it more economical and far more efficient. The inauguration of the new form of government meant the passing of an old political machine."
What is proposed in Richmond is to take the city government out of the hands of politicians who operate it largely for the benefit of party, and put it into the hands of officials selected without regard to party politics who will conduct the business of the city on a business basis in the interest of the entire citizenship.
