FOUNDATION WORTHLESS.

The road committee of the Board
of Supervisors and the Mayor went
over to Waikane yesterday in automo-
bile in respone to a phone request of
Engineer Gere to inspect the founda-
ton of the former bridge.
Engineer Gere telephoned in that he
had been able to investigate the foun-
dations of the Waikane bridge, under
mined by the recent washouts. After
the Golfer dam was completed and the
water pumped out Gere found the piles,
which were supposed to have been
driven down firmly, had only been bat
tered ON top and were not safe or
firm at all This was a job which
was done by J. H. Rowland, when he
was assistant superintendent Of Public
Works about three years ago.
The committee went over the Pall
about noon and returned late in the
afternoon.

AS soon as the Alexander & Bald

cit is important at time like ours
in the life of the church that we con
slider with care some things about
which there is need of a larger and
clearer vision When accredited minis
tiers of the church deliberately cast sus-
picion upon a truth so fundamental as
the deity of Christ, is the time not
ripe for the church TO declare itself.
Arianism is not so bold now nor so
blatant as in the past. It would be
less dangerous if it were. It's ap-
proaeb is subtle now. it eoneeals itself
behind plausible theories and to the
uninitiated appears as well established
truth The hurt, however, to the cause
comes rather from lack of positive
conviction in the church upon this
great doctrine, lack of well defined
notions concerning it which do not hest
tate to defend themselves.
First of all, the church needs to-
day. as it has needed in all days, a
correct vision of the nature of Christ
and His relations to it. Is He is its
head. its foundation, the source of its
life, then it is important that the vision
of Him be accurate; for, if the founda-
ton be impaired by inadequate con
ceptions of its strength, on what can
we build hopef

/ church needs to rediscover His Deity

again Inadequate conceptions Of
Christ $ Deity become the source Of
a multitude of evils too dreadful with
which to trifie. Among these are in
adequate views of human depravity,
the impoteney of man toward good, the
imperative need of an adequate saeri-
fee for sin and the all snfficiency of
the atonement made by Jesus Christ
for the world g sin.
In the second place, we need to re-
discover Jesus Christ as our Redeemer.
Not only does Christ sustain to the
church the relationship Of Redeemer,
but it is-well for us to get a vision of
Him as its head
: 1'The church also needs a view Of

Fred Maxine seems to be of
family of agitators. A few years

} ton, Maxine, a brother of the

} began bucking the new manager

; little Monograph news sheet,

} employees of the place contrib
uted their grievance accounts.
} Maxine did all he could to
} make the men on the place dis
; satisfied, and Manager Wolter
} retaliated by closing off his
trade with the men. 1t is said
} Maxine had leases on land
} which the plantation did not
renew when they expired, and
he was finally forced to give
, up. As the plantations seem to
be winning out now, so Hutch
inson won out against the
other Maxine at that time.
