This question is one that many
a mind pcnders over. There are
various opinions this man, some
say, was Christ, others say he
was God himSe in a figure.
But among the many wrongs
there is but one right way to
everything. Wherefore, seeing
that the word Of God is to be a
light to our pathway. and a lamp
to our feet. We shall in this,
as we have in all Of our other
points, peruse its sacred pages
l10rder that we may get the Gem
that may unfold to US the man
spoken Of above. BY going back

not of been the Son Of God, just
made Ike him. How then WIS
the Son OF God made? This we
must lind out inorder 10 find out
how M4lchizedec was made.
Hence, we say, nearly two
Thousand years ago; as it is re-
i corded.
Now the birth Of Jesus Christ
was on this wise: When as his
mother Mary was esroused to
Joseph, before they came togeth-
/ er, she was found with child of
the Holy Ghost. *
for that which is conceived in
her is Of the Holy Ghost"
Mat. LIS 40
In this we find that the flesh
of the Lord and Savior Jesus
Christ was created by the power
Of God through the Holy Ghost.
Christ in this way, was made af-
tor the order of Melchizodec. In
like manner was Melchizedec
made like unto Christ. How was
! he made?
And inorder that we may un-
dorsland, this fact; we shall call
your attention to the point. that
he was King CT Salem, a Gnntile
king. Seeing then that he belong
cd to the Gentle race, numbered
with the beast, then at sometime
| in his life he had to be made like
unto the Son Of God; by God
thru the Holy Ghost creating
in him a spiritual life, living
soul for he was without q living
soul, numbered with the beasts.
Upon those grounds we find
him praying like Christ.
| Who in the days of his flesh
whoa he had offered up prayers
and supplications with strong
crying and tears unto him that
was able to save him from death,
land was heard in that lie feared;

In this manner the prayers O

, outward man was created by the
power of the Holy Ghost.
Hence, Christ's outward mar

NEW OPERA HOUSE
FOR JOHNSON CITY

Well, we are to have it at last-a
real sure enough opera house, or
whatever you want to call it. One
that will seat everybody that wants
to sit down, and that can accommo-
date every kind of show from NOV
ing pictures to grand opera. We
are not permitted to tell the details
as yet, but one man and another
man. which makes two men, sat
down and drew pictures of figures all
over sheets of blank paper, and f.
nally found the answer, which was
that they could make it reasonab-
ly good business proposition to give
the people of the city what they
have wanted for long time. There
is no gainsaying the fact that this is
a good theatre town; and if we had
a convenient place in the city, We
could get as good shows as travel
this section OF the country. Yester-
day we said we needed court
house. Today it's a theatre. But
that's different proposition. The
people will have to build the court
house, but the opera house will be
built by-well of course people will
built that, too, but only couple or
so of them, and they're willing to do
it without passing the hat. We
hope they will not let all their plans
go to waste. We need that theatre.

Through Summer

As always occurs with Capt. Kyle
NJ. Kings selections of theatricals
for Memorial Hall, big crowd was
present on the opening night of the
vaudeville bill, and there should have
been. 1t is a good bill. The mo-
ton pictures were good, as usual,
and the special vaudeville sketches
were better than usual. Miss Agenita
Oalzer has chosen a different art, in
the performance Of Spanish, Greek
and Oriental dances, but with a ma
tional grace she executes the figures
with ease, Miss Dalzer. like the
leading opera ballet dancer uses her
entire body in her dances. and never
seems at loss to know what to do
with her hands. Ernest Lynnwood,
blockface comedian, had a good
monologue but better songs. But
the distinctive feature of the bill is
the Mozart Duo in operate selec-
tions. Their selections were from
Italian Grand Opera, including the
always popular Miserere' from
Verdis I'll Trovatore, and that
magnificent inspiring Sextette from
Donizhettis Lucia di Lammer-
moor" The two voices harmonic
perfectly, are of almost exactly the
same volume, the one deep con-
tralto, the other a mezzo-soprano.
Their phasing and expression are
unusually good.
Capt. King has arranged for the
present bill to be given matinee and
night the balance OF this week, and
similar bills will be put on three days
each week during rhe Summer. II

pie, the venture will be success.

The board of mayor and alder

with Alderman James M. Martin
presiding, in the absence of May

strictly a business session and
many matters were discussed and
acted upon in short order.
Street grading and paving was
among the most important ques-
tions.
Alderman M. B. Martin was on
hand with detailed report on
sanitary affairs.
The rooms now used by the city
and county officials were rented
for period of three years at the
same price as has been paid DUR
ing the past three years, $500 per
annum.
A proposition, based on the
water system, was made to the
Southern Railway Company, by
which the city will furnish water
for that company in this city.
On motion of Alderman Greg
ger, f. B. ST. John was elected as
member of the board of education
to fill out the unexpired term of
the late DIR. E. S. Miller.
The street tax was fixed at 50
or four days labor.
