QUESTIONS ANSWERED.

Any person may send any biblical Gues-
ton to DR.. J. +. Gilbert. 1903 r street
this city, and receive answer in The Star.
:I53. What is the meaning of the pas
sage. l Peter. iii:19-20?
Answer. Two interpretations are given.
Some think there is reference 10 the
work of Christ between his decease and
resurrection that He went to the abode
of departed spirits and preached to the
antedIiuviars there confined. TINS is the
general view of Roman Catholic scholars.
Most Protestant cXpositors hold that this
text refers TO what Christ did by the
Holy Spirit through the preaching of
Noah while the ark was preparing
354. If at some future time. Paul
says. God shall be all in all will not
hell be blotted out, since where God is
there is heaven?
Answer The quoted words are misun-
derstood by the questioner. They do not
refer TO the presence of God. which is al
ways universal but to ttle exercise of au
thority by the Father. This is the mean
ing: When the mediatorial work of Christ
is completed the kingdom of grace will no
longer be disting uished from the kingdom
of glory. There VIII then remain no dis
tinction in the persons of the trinity. hut
the infinite essence of the Divine being
shall appear in its eternal unity the Son
Subject to the Father" who shall be ''all
in ALL Cor. Xv:2SD And yet. in some
sense personality in the Godhead must
exist forever.
:;I5. Humanity is coming to consider the
lex talionis brutal. Why should the Gre
ator make such law?
Answer. The law Of retaliation accord
ing to which punishment is inflicted. the
same in kind and degree as the injury
uevit.. XXlv:2nD is not considered brutiI
except by few sentiment alsts who over
look the function OF law and the protec-
ton of society. IT is in full harmony with
all the operations of nature, and il had a
most wholesome influence upon the an
cient world. We should have a higher
civilization if every man suffered pre-
cisely as he caused others TO suffer.

Wouldn't 1t be fine of a summer
morning to step in the kitchen, put on
the kettle, broil the steak, bake the
mufflns. filter the coffee and give the
breakfast call In one fourth the time
you'd take to do it all on a coal stove
And wouldn't it be fine to be as
cool when the breakfast was prepar-
ed as when YOU first entered the
kitchen? ..
People who have tried 1t say that
the New Perfection Oil-Stove actual
ly does everything in the line Of
cooking and domestic service without
overheating the room or the worker
Undoubtedly the reason is to be
found In the blue flame principle on
which the stove works.
A cylindrical chimney concentrates
the heat at the stove top and in his
way prevnts surface radiation as in a
coal or wood stove
1t Is easy to see that this lessons
very much the matter OF personal
discomfort in summer housekeeping.
SO don't forget the New Perfection
Oil-Stove in your summer plans and
you will have a comfortable kitchen
and the best cook-stove in the world.

THE GOVERNMENT URGES BETTER ROADS|

only what to plow and what not to
plow, but how and when 10 plow. II
the road is of the kind which accord
ing to the above instructions should
be plowed over it's whole width, the
best method Is to run the first fur
row in the middle of the road and
work out to the sides, thus forming
crown. Results from such plowihg
are greatest in thee spring or early
summer.
In bitches a plow can be used to
good advantage, but should be follow
ed by a scrapev or grader. To
make wide, deep dltches, nothing bet
ter than the ordinary drag scral sr
has yet been devised. For hauls un-
der 100 feet, or in making "fills' it
is especially serviceable. 1t is a
mis'ake. however, to attempt to- BAN
die long haul material with this
scraper, as the wheel scraper Is
better adapted to such work. For
hauls of more than 500 feet, a wa
gon should be used.
The machine most generally used
in road work is the grader, or road
machine. This machine is especially
useful in smoothing and crowning the
road and in opening ditches. A clay
subsoil under a thin coating Of soil
should not be disturbed with a grad
er. 1T is also a mistake to use grad
er unfortunately and to pull ma
terial from bitches upon sand-clay
road. Not infrequently turf, soil and
the middle Of the road in a ridge,
making mudholes a certainty.
1t is important in using grader TO
avoid building up the road too much
at one time. A road gradually built
up by frequent use of the grader will
last better than II completed at one
operation. The foreman frequently
thinks his road must be high in the
first instance. He piles up material
from 10 inches to a foot in depth only
to learn, with the arrival or the first
rain, that he has furnished material
Tor as many inches of muo.
All material should be brought up
in this layers, each layer well puddled
and firmly packed by roller or traffic
before the next is added. A common
mistake is to crown too high with the
road machine on a narrow road.
The split log drag should be used
to fill in ruts and smooth the road
when not too badly washed. The
drag possesses great merit and is go
