Ths waya and means committee of
the . city , council-., yesterday afternoon
awarded tba 1500,000 park bond issue
to O'Connor & Kahler of New . fork.
This Arm. offered a premium of 2 per
cent the highest ever received for sim
ilar securities by the city. ' The eastern
company telegraphed , tha committee
that its bid was conditional on the le
gality of the Issue and that the com
pany s lawyers would have to pass upon
this feature before any agreement is
entered. Into- by It -fr,
, There is no question as to the learalitv
of the -bond issue,- but it is doubtful if
th deal can be completed before the
nrst or tneyear, as the park board has
desired. Councilman Kellaher aays that
arrangements wi:i pe made, however,
satisfactory to the city and the com
pany by wire before the first of Jan
uary so that the sum of (1,000,000 will
be available for the needs of the park
board next year. The charter only al
lows 1600.000 .worth of bonds to be is
sued in a, single year, so that unless

- EXPLAINS HIS ACTION
tlced -by the apostolic church must'be
restored oerore the church will be fully
fulfilling her mission. 1 I believe, how
ever, that healing 'is one of the lesser
worka and ministries of the church,'
During the three years -1 have ! la
bored with the Rodney Avenue Chris
tian church there has been a Most grat
ifying growth in all departments of the
work. The relationship between people
and pastor has been thoroughly harmo
nious and pleasant and It is with, deep
regret that we close, our labors with
tbls splendid congregation to engage in
other lines of work. ' ,

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. The mavor
seems to be the whole thing here and I .
have heard some Bay- It might b ahr
excellent .thing to have a commission
appointed to inquire as to his sanity."
Promises Lewis River Aid.
Senator Fulton has promised to do
everything in his power for the Inv
rrovement.of Lewis river, Washington,
n a letter received today by the cham
ber of commerce, Fulton states, that he
will look after the matter of securing
an . appropriation for the improvement
of Lewis- fiver and will support any
such measure hearily. ' ;

Portland. Dec. 29. 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-
