car. The crippled auto was taken in
tow, the owner remaining at the steer
ing wheel, while the balance of the
party transferred to the other machine.
The blaze started in the rear and had
made considerable Roadway before the
owner became aware of it. All hands
turned in and tried to extinguish the
flames but only the efforts to save the
loose cushions and tires were success
full. The fire may have started from
short-circuited wires. It's origin is not

about $500 invested in the machine and
the insurance is only about $1,000.

Subject "Contentment, or Discomfort
ment. Which is Best?"
The following is synopsis of Rev.
MacInnis' sermon last Sunday morning
from the theme: ''Steps Toward Social
Betterment."
/ Steps in social betterment are we'll
illustrated in Romans 12:1. Every per-
son who is interested in the moral up
lift of humanity should study we'll the
above text. Paul was not only an elo-
quent preacher, profound theologian,
but he was also great social reform
err. Paul believed in his message, he
had deep abiding conviction, and with
intense earnestness of soul would be-
seech his hearers to follow his advice
Again he understood the art of per-
suasion. He did not command, nor
threaten, but endeavored to persuade
by the power of affection and true
logic. Paul's example should be fol-
lowed by every person interested in the
moral reform of mankind.
The text contains the only effective
plan to reform the world. To present
our bodies Giving" sacrifice means
that here and now, in the practical af-
fairs of life, men should so act as in
the presence and possession of God,
their creator. Men should do this, as
Paul says, because. of the mercies of
God. The Heavenly Father has been
so kind, so merciful and so considerable
of mems wants. Men are not COM
PEELED by the Creator to be good. God
has created man free, has allowed him
the liberty of choosing his course. And
now Jehovah takes the part of petit
toner. Man is asked, "beseeched' to
present his body, his life in proper ac-
lions to his divine Sovereign. Paul
ends his appeal with the clinching state
ment that this is reasonable" service.
Sometimes men are aroused to a
sense of duty to God by declaring the
penalty that will inevitably follow
life of disobedience, but usually Paul's
course is the best, an appeal to the
best nature in man, to the spirit of
fairness, to the power of reason.
