AMERICAS TO Vote ON
BOND issue in APRIL
$4,000 Issue of Bonds Is
Proposed

April 4th is the date fixed by the city
council for the next bond election,
whereat the qualified voters of Amer
icus will pass upon the issuance OF
$4,000 of municipal bonds for need
ed improvements. Such was the ac-
ton Of the city council which met yes
terday in special session.
OF the proposed issue of bonds 70
the amount of $4,000, the sum of $780,,
600 would be expended upon sewerage
extension and $4,000 on waterworks
Improvement.
And April 4th, just one month off
is the date fixed at the meeting yes
terday for the election.
That the bond issue will be very
strongly supported goes without say
ing, as the necessity for sewerage ex-
tension out Lee street, the Southside
and possibly to East Americas later,
is generally recognized.
The city is growing rapidly, both
west, east and south, but the limit is
well nigh reached in the way of avail
ability, and Americas growth will be
greatly retarded unless that urgent
necessity-the extension of the sewer
age and water systems, is thus pro-
yided for
Many homes will go up Immediately

out on the Southside. The city's pro-
posed $4,000 hospital was located out
near Lee street in the confident be-
lief of the Hospital Association that
the city's sewerage system would De
extended there.
The issuance of the bonds in the sum
of $4,000 had previously been agreed
upon by council, and the meeting yes
terday was merely to fix the date Of
the election.

SPLITTING over
The COMMANDMENTS
Big Row is on in the English
Church

London, Feb. ga great cleavage
is beginning to manifest itself il
church circles in England in conse
quence of the proposition which is t.
be submitted to the Convocation O.
Canterbury in May by the Dean o.
Winchester, the Very Rev. William VI
Furneaux, D. D., to abridge the Second
Fourth and Tenth Commandments. Tht
Convocation' adoption of Canon Hens
ley Henson's scheme of substituting
for the Ten Commandments in Com
munion service the Evangelical Sum
mary of the Decalogue is now regard
ed by the anti-reformers as the THU
end of the edge for sweeping altera
tons. SO the Evangelicals are deter,
mined to oppose strenuously this steI
advocated by Dr. Furneaux.
The New York World has gathered
some representative opinions.
Canon HenSley'S Argument.
Canon Hensley Henson, of Westmin.
ster Abbey, said:
Those of us who are working fol
the reform have been striving a Ions
time for what has already been ac.
complished in America, where the
church led the mother church in sub
shutting the Evangelical Summary fo1
the Ten Commandments.
Il would be the last to alter rudely
the form of any portion of the Old
Testament, but when the three COM
mandments which We desire to have
abridged are taken away from thei1
setting and liturgically applied they
are, apart, of altogether unnecessary
leangth, and wholly misleading. The
version of the creation in Genesis is
not now essential or reasonable part
Of the Christian belief. So long as
it is left in its original atmosphere
there is no reason why it should be
disturbed. But it is a different mat
ter when it is made an integral por-
ton of the Communion service.
Regarding the Tenth Command,
ment, it is entirely at variance with
modern thoughts and modern moral
that the wife should be classed as A
chattel with the OK and the ass. The
notion is too primitive and archaic
In advocating the abridgment We
have the example of st. Paul, whose
version of the commandment is Thou
shalt not covet' What was enough
for st. Paul, ought to be sufficient for
us.
81 shall certainly support DR.. Fur
neaux's notion
The Evangelical Position.
Prebendary Webb-Peploe, of St
Paul's, one of the leaders of the Evan
gelicals, is indignant at the proposed
change.
Never" he exclaimed to a reporter
has more blasphemous or sacri-
ligiOus proposal been made. What are
We coming to when mankind presumns
to abridge and alter words declared
specifically to be those of Jehovah?
The substitution of the EvangeIical
Summary for the Ten Commandments
in the Communion service was a retro
grade step, but it was nothing so Sc
rious in the sight of God as the new
proposal
q hold that the whole of the Ola
Testament was of Divine origin 1t IS
not brevity that is aimed at but de-
liberate distortion of the Christian
faith. The objection to the statement
that the world was made in six days
is due to a misconception of the word
made 1t means shaped, not created
The perpetual attempt to harmonic
religion with science will end in the
wrecking of faith"
