Desirable Property in the Southwest
Part of the City.

ment company have justpurchased

and one-half acres of land lying in the
southwestern part of the city.
The property is most desirably loca

1t is adjacent to the Lewis addition,
and lies north and nearer the center
of the city than the Jeanette prop
erty, four acres of which have been
donated to the Presbyterian Church
as site for the 100000 Female Semi
nary, which is to be erected at an
early date.
The property is also adjacent to
that Of the well-known Roanoke

The addition is to be called the
Exchange Addition.
The land is level and we'll drained,
and well adapted in every way for
beautiful residence lots.

Jefferson street, north to the property
of the Hyde Park Land company in
the West F"d. Among the lots in
this addition are some of the most
desirable in Roanoke and it offers
many advantages over some other
properties.
The land is just elevated enough to
give good drainage, and as it is well
drained, is consequently very healthy.

residence there is to be desired. 1t is
situated only n short distance from
the central portion of the city, and as
the street cars and dummy line run

ABOUT THE WEST END.
1t is Fast Becoming tho Fashionable
Residential Section of the city.

10 the right as you drive up the
gentle elevation of First avenue is the
cloudy blue of the mountains and to
the left, down through a picturesque
valley the river runs.
1t is delightful section of the CITY
this West End. Even the name is de-
lightful, smacking as it does of other
pleasant sections of other pleasant
cities? Who has not heard of the West
End of London with it's magnificent
palaces, its churches, theatres, and
catherdals. Its park is one of the most
beautiful in the world and its views
not one half rs beautiful as that of
Roanoke. Then the West End Of
Washington-;he residential quarter
of the nations rulers, Chicago, Gin
cinnati, st. Louis, San Francisco anC
nearer home, Richmond-all of them
have fashionable quarter that goes
by the rame.
And SO it has come to pass that
every city of any consequences has Il
West End. Few of them can compare
with that of Roanoke in natural
eauty. Rolling, well drainedalots, a
view not to be surpassed in the
country, highly elevated with the
pure air from the mountains, un
tainted by the oft breathed atmos-
phere of the city, forever blooming
over it.
1t is something, yes, is great deal
to get away from the city after the
day is done, and under your own vine
and fig tree forget for the time being
It's worry and hustle. And it is some
thing, when you get up in the morn
ing, to look from your chamber win
dow and have ready made before you
q magnificent panorama of natures
beauty, the like of which an artist
can only give hint of in his greatest
works.
Westward the course of the build
ing boom takes its sway, and this
beautiful section is to very large ex-
tent getting the benefit of it. The
land, as has already been said,
leaves nothing to bs desired. 1t is
easy of access by the street car lines.
it is substantially laid off. it is high
and dry and healthy, and the lots are
selling at remarkably low rates for
such property. The owners of a great
deal Of the property show their own
in its future by building
themselves, and this confidence great
ly strengthens the faith of others.
There is no doubt about it; the West
End is on boom. Messrs. James s.
Simmons & Co. have number of de-
sirable lots which they will be pleased
to show to prospective purchasers.

Lutheran Church and Cnlvinisr,.''
EDITOR TINES:

lOiN L l-'iIs
Ny attention having been called to
your clipping from the Baltimore
American entitled "Calvinism, Isub
nitted the report to Rev. DR.. Albert.
pastor OF st. Marks, Baltimore, who
was tie representative OF the Luth-
eran Church in the joint discussion.
1t is my rule TO avoid religious contro-
versieS as my disposition is decidedly
ironic and for many reasons it is I'M
pleasant TO figure in an inter-denoml-
national dispute; hence | simply seek
TO correct the impression made by the
American, which misrepresents both
DR.. Albert and the Lutheran Church.
Being personally acquainted with
him and believing that he was not
fairly reported in the statement that
DIR Albert explained the doctrine of
the Lutheran Church to be that OF
free will
enclosed your clipping, a7king for
such reply as the facts might war
rant. 1t is not my desire to prove the
status Of the Lutheran Church on the
point at issue. as this discussion suits
better the sphere of q theological Re-
view than secular daily. In giving
the full conclusion of his letter, you
will make allowance for the claim
that the average reporter is not
theologian. Your courtesy and fair
ness in all matters of religious inter-
est encourage me to submit this cor
rection. According to his own state
ment this is what DIR. Albert said:
"The Lutheran church also teaches
that man since th1 Fall has no spirit
ual power remaining to embrace of
his own accord proifered grace. God
must call him; God must draw him.
1T is of grace and not Of works, lest
any man should boast
But it teaches God calls all and
offers grace to all, but that man can
resist and reject the grace offered.
The average reporter knows very
little about theology. 1 expressly
smoke about Luther's Bondage of the
Will, De Servo ArbitriO.'
Il followed very closely the Form
ula of Concord on Predistination."
