T'he city executive board ' vesterday afternoon referred the lighting contract to the lighting - committee. - which '.Is Thomas G. Greene. As Mr. Greene is In Albany and expects to be out of the city until after January 1, there is no likelihood that he will sign the contract with the Portland Railway, Light & Power company. The present contract with the ev.mpny expires at midnight tomorrow. The board of directors of the light company, it la said, has voted to cut off the service unless the city lets a five j year contract-as drafted. - Will the company do this? Mayor Lne says no. "We will buy our lights here after by the month," said he yesterday, "and I don't think the company will let us go home in the dark." President Josselyn of the llght'com pany made a veiled threat when he said yesterday that the city of St Louis was plunged into darkness once because no contract was awarded to . the one light company, whereupon the thugs and crooks of two continents collected in the dark city and established a reign of terror. The citizens went to the city hall, says Mr. Josselyn, and threat ened to hang the mayor. - -- -"Such a thing," he .continued. ' "might be reDeated in Portland.

To the Editor of Ths Journal I wish to correct the inac curacies in ths Sunday Journal's report of my reasons for laying down the work of the ministry. First, I ..have never said nor thought that the church la nored Christ's real teachings." I love and appreciate the great work of , the cnu rcn aa never Dexore. While I have no use whatever for mere human doctrines and creeds. I be li eve more firmly tnan ever mat jesua is t he Christ the Bon of the living God and my Savior..- I cannot, however, be satisfied that mere Intellectual assent to even the doctrines of the -Bible is sufficient. The great need of this age la a fuller reproduction of the Christ life. - . ..- v . - Secondly. I am one amour the large numDer of Christians who change. It has been said, to live is to change and to grow is to have changed often. Mv change haa been, however, a change of interpretation ratner man or lact l believe in a fuller, more SDiritual and hence more practical interpretation of tne doctrines or me Bible I have coma to firmly believe that the healing prac- v BR. rara's , W W Vrt M M V-C FOR AMD ALL If HR AT ;LUK DISEASES . . . . .
