DeKalb Injunction Suit is Deferred

The second petition for an injunction
brought by DeKalb- county to restrain
the city of Atlanta and the officials of
both counties from certifying the re-
suit of the recent election to annex a
certain portion of DeKalb county. came
up before Judge Pendleton of the supe-
rior court on Saturday, but went over
until o'clock Tuesday afternoon.
Attorney Alonzo Fields, who with ], ID.
Fitzpatrick, represents James r. Rivers,
the DeKalb county taxpayer In whose
name the suit was brought, was indts-
posed, and Mr.. Fitzpatrick was engaged in
another court. For this reason post
ponement was taken.
The grounds for the present appeal for
an injunction are practically the same
as those in the original suit, which was
denied by Judge Ellis of the superior
court. Mr.. Rivers objects mainly to hav-
ing his political domicils moved. Stress
is laid also on the illegality of the acl
which would permit a county site to be
changed.
Associated with Assistant City Attorney
Mayson in the defense is County Attor-
ney Luther z. Rosser, who, on motion OF
the board of county commissioners, Is
representing the county.

The Parable of the ProdigaI Son

Mr.. W. p. Wrigley, l noticed in Mrs.
FeIton-s department your reply to Mr..
Stanford's letter. and 1 desire TO give
you my views on the subject Of the
ProdigaI and elder sons.
This parable. OF the two sons. is in
the fifteenth chapter OF St. Luke, and
was given after the Pharisees had muir
INJURED against Him for keeping COM
pany with sinners. The father Of the
sons represents God The elder son
represents the law dispensation, for He
salt. 10. these many years do I serve
thee, neither transgressed I at any time
thy commandments and yet thou never
gavest me a kid that 1 might make
merry with my friends" The father
said unto him: son. thou art ever
with me and all that / have is thine
30 we see that as long as he kept the
law he was equal with his father. So
IL was in the law dfspensation. as long
as they kept the law God accepted this
through sacrifice and burnt offerings.
But the prOdigal represents salvation
through grace. And at the sppOintej
time OF the father he sent his son into
the world. and he fulfilled the law. and
set up his kingdom that we as sinners
or prodigals might be saved by grace.
We see that 1T this time. the father
saw us as prodigals .andered far from
home. and at our return he saves us
by grace. and not by any OF our works
or keeping OF the law. but free gift
by our believing on his son. We can
make this parable applicable to our
day We teach our children from birth
TO keep the law. as we desire a moral
character. yet knowing there is no sal
walton in the law, and when they come
20 themselves as the prOOigal did they
can realize that there is something
more required in salvation. and. as he
aid, also the father is the only one
who can save. and resolve as he: II
will arise and go TO the father" and as
ne empty handed. and art fully saved
by grace. We will now return to the
elder brother. When Christ came @
this world at the end OF the law dis
pensatfon he offered salvation through
grace 10 the Jewish tribe ana they re-
jected him He said: 4 came amongst
my own and my own received me not,
and 10, 1 turn TO the Gentiles We
notice that he invited the elder son in

While am sensible that my. fgnor-
ance of the conditions in Panama may
expose nv personal opinions to cFiu-

walton TO secure depth. s...-
In the last analysis. IT is a final ques-
ton of money. and the promoters who
started out with expense figures of less
than two hundred millions are now
hedging and talking very freely OF
$500. OOO. 900, if not a half billion, before
the waters of the two oceans can meet

is not presumable. that the United
states will ever dig another ditch OF
such magnitude, so there is no good al
this late day in advocating cheese
pairing policy, when there is a. money
difference only and one plan suggests
risk and hazard, while the other Is as
sured OF safety and permanency.
We are in for great expense, to be
sure, and while there has been much
money wasted without doubt, common
sense dictates a safe canal at ali
hazards. II II requires an extra year
OF digging. let the canal be finished in
the best way, to stand secure, without
any tremors OF apprehension or omens
OF failure.
Even a Georgia cracker can under

more millions, when the whole lock

more feasible to III immense ships

than jerk them up to risky heights every
time they are to be conveyed from
