FAITH, THOUGH CHANGING,
STILL REMAINS CONSTANT

1.-The Changing. Yet Constant Faith"
was the theme of Rev George A.
Henry for his Christmas sermon at the
West Adams Street Methodist Episco-
pal church yesterday morning. The
spirit of the service was that of Christ
mas. Mr.. Henry announced his text
Is follows Let not your heart be
troubled: ye believe in God, believe
also in me-" John 14:1. He spoke in
part as follows:
"Change is the most prominent fea-
ture of experience; and since being is
the source of ali experience, change
must be provided for i'm being itself
That is. there must be a continuous
identity running through all change so
that the changing personality shall al
ways know itself TO De itself and not
another. And because life's changes
hold their value in the continuity of
life the poetry of growth consists in
carrying an oldnes over into q newness,
projecting a past into a future, ger
minating seed into a flower. And
there is no break in the continuity of
life. What the philosophers call the
law of the sufficient reason never
leads the intellect beyond the continu-
GUS in life. The assumption of the con-
tinuity of life lies upon all the teach
ings of Jesus.
"The changing, yet constancy of
struetion of faith. The form of faith
changes from age to age, but faith it.
self remains constant.
mo one can honestly read the teach
ings of Jesus without the impression
that everywhere and all the time IL
was the glory of Jesus to make faith
real and practical. With the accent of
utter conviction he told these men that
they believed in God. Peter was hu-
man, and so was John, as We're the
other disciples, and it would be simple
folly for us to think they had no mo-
ments of doubt; they had moments of
moral confusion, forced upon them by
the inevitable presence of human sin
and sorrow.
1T is no schoolboy frolic, then, to
appeal to ones native, human faith in
God In this way there is striking
contrast drawn between the past and
the future. All the historic past Of
the Hebrews was bound up in their
faith in God. and all the future of these
eleven men was bound up in THEN faith
in Christ. This is the changing but
constant faith. This is the perpetual
Christmas that want you TO think Of
this morning.
Let the forms of faith change from
age to age, for faith is n living or
ganism, not fixed dogma; and faith
must grow, absolutely must grow ac-
cording to the laws of it's being. Ye
believe in God, believe also in me-, is
ever the last word of the Master of
Men to the men of the common crowd,
whom he delights to call brothers,

Truth

"What is Truth?" asked plate, and
the accumulated civilization of twenty
successive centuries has no better an
swer than ''all the news that's fit to
print"
Because it is practically impossible
to wear clothes without becoming
thereby species of falsehood, Truth
wears none.
Because she is too simple to cultivate
the grand style by which her nakedness
might be overlooked at least on dress
occasions and too genuine to pass for
art by which she might have nothing
on yet be forgiven--for this Truth lives
at the bottom of a we'll and is so sell
dom met with in good society that we
get to know very little about her.

he conducted the preliminary exam
inaticn of d. A. Flore, a Logan

charge 0f stealing a horse from John
Lewis. Claude Russell, a 19year-old
Lad who sWOre TO the information

the owners OF the 101 ranch a few
days after the theft Hepburne also
learned that young Russell had been
working for Lewis, ana that he was
seen near the Lewis place the day

WILL AFFECT EVERY

Alleging that the recent decision
of the supreme court in he Ardmore
bond issue ease casts a serious cloud
upon the validity of contracts for me
million dollars Of paving now under
construction in Guthrie. besides the
contracts for the construction OF sew
ers ANA other pubic utilities, where
IA the court in constituting the refer
endum powers Of the people in mu-
nlcipal matters held that any Ordi
nance or resolution passed by the
city council which does not carry
he emergency clause does not be-
come effective until thirty days ant
sr its passage and is subject within
that period to referendum vote OF
The people City Attorney Fred w
Green, on behalf OF the city of Guth
re, filed a supplemental petition IN
Jhe supreme court today asking fer
a rehearing of the Case in order that
he court might rule specifically up
ON the question of whether all pay
ing resolutions passed by a city coun-
ell following out the procedure lald
lown in the street Improvement law
naeted by the First Oklahoma legIs-
Iature, must bear the emergency
clause to become effective immedi-
ltely upon passage.
This question is OF great impor-
lance not only to the city of Guth-
lie but to all municipalities OF the
state which have been engaged In the
paving Of streets. Many millions OF
lcllars Of street improvement work
besides other public utility improve
ments which have been made since
statehood are affected by the Ard
more decision which was rendered on
september IA last
The majority of the city councils
in the state, in the paving and sew
er construction work have simply
ollowed the new statutes governing
The procedure in ordering the i'm
proyements just as the city Of Guth-
re has done, without attaching the
emergency clause, not thinking that
a construction of the reteren 1um
law would require the emergency to
be attached to such measul es.
The supreme court however. in the
Ardmore case upheld the validity Of
the Ardmore bonds for ,he reason
that The people of Ardmore did NOT
avail themselves of their opportunity
to take a referendum vote on the
city councils action, and the same
ruling would apply to all paving
cases where objections were mol
raised by the property owners.
City Attorney Green, who asks to
intervene in the case as a friend OF
uhe court to determine this paving
controversy believes that the ruling
Of the court in the Ardmore case Is
erroneous and will work a great
hardship on the city of Guthrie, as
we'll as upon other municipalities IN
he state, and on persons engaged IN
The construction of public works.
