Sir Wyke Bayliss, +. S. A., president
of the Royal Society of British Artists,
has written in the London Guardian
recently disproving of objections put
forward against the faithfulness of
the pictures of Christ. He shows that
when the graves of the first Christian
martyrs were opened they were found
to contain portraits of Christ, and the
likeness they disclose is the likeness
as we know 1t today. The frescoes in
the Roman catacombs, the Greek
cuamels, the engraved sacramental
cups in use in Ehe earliest Christian
times. the paintings on the face cloths
of the dead in the first century, all
show the same likeness. and it is iden-
teal with that painted by Michael An
gelo.
Church Progress.
From figures compiled at the begin
ming of tie new year it appears that
there are in tie United States some
thing over 30,000,000 members of
Christian churches and that in the
year just closed the churches have add
ed nearly 100000 to their numbers.
This increase is somewhat larger than
that of the preceding year, and nearly
all religious bodies benefit by it. The
number OF churches has increased in
the last year by 2,310, and there are
1,GT4 more ministers than in the previ-
Gus year. 1t is worthy of notice that
the increase in the ministry does not
keep pace with the increase OF
churches. and at the present time lead
PRS in all religious bodies are seeking
solution of the ministerial problem,
trying to ascertain why the ministry
does not attract the young men of to-
day as it did those of former years.

When Lincoln was first inaugurated

The cane he managed to put away in

posit it.

tined to hold the hat Of Abraham Lin

THE PANAMA CANAL.

The Board of Consulting Engi-
neers of the Isthmian Canal Com
mission have very wisely, it would
appear, decided to sink the canal to
a sea-level depth and thus do away
with the cumbersOn detention of locks
and dams The estimated cost of
the work is $3.50, 900, 900, and the
time required for its completion is
placed at fifteen years as a maximum.
In speaking of this matter the Wash
ington correspondent of the Louis
vile COurier-Journal says:
THE sea level canal, which has
been voted on by the members, will
have a width at the bottom of $50
feet except in the Culebra cut where
the bredth will be 200 feet. The
greater width at the Culebra cut is
necessary to allow two ships to pass
each other safely between the high
banks of the canal, which will be
formed by the very deep excava-
ton.
But few Governments beside ours
have the temerity to undertake and
the means to carry out such gigan-
tie enterprise as this Panama canal

GLASS FACTORY FOR MARION

\ prominent manufacturer of the
window, plate glass and other com
modities made of glass sand has made
proposition to the citizens of Mar
ion to locate a factory here on con
ditions which many of our citizens
think can be carried out. The exact
terms on which he proposes to locate
here were set out in a letter to Mayor
j. W. Blue and were received by him
last week and it stated that the pay roll
would run into the thousands every
week and that several hundred inhab-
itants would be brought to the city
at once The matter is being can
vassed and it is more than probable
that the bonus asked will be raised
by popular subscriptions Immediately
and that Marion will have the great
manufacturing plant here before an
other year. Millions of tons of glass
sand are in easy access to this city
and with proper encouragement ON
the part of our citizens this can be
turned into money. X. w. Wilson
leads off by offering to furnish the
site, . acres Of land, right on the
railroad south of the city. f. j.
Hayward, another of the citys most
enterprising citizens, offers to head
the subscription list with a donation
Of 81, 800 if the factory locates here
permanently and demonstrates the
statements made in the letter received.
which is that they would employ 20
Marion girls and 40 boys and would
bring with them 225 expert mechan-
les whose wages average $40. 90 per
week. The parties also agree that
the pay roll will start in at 81, 900
per week and gradually work up to
81, 600 per week before the end of
two years.
