Fate was kind to him thus far. After
a little further talk, In which the &C
cepted point Of view Of the onlooker
was made still more painfully evident,

Beyond this Ne did not go In the mis-

But when he rose to 60 another
prompting was forcing its way to the

been assigned were all that they

Coming down a few minutes later to
give the several luggage checks to the
hotel porter, Blount missed another
incident which might have sent him
back suddenly to his problem and its

ture, as conferred by Christ upon
lIis Apostles, all the other powers
which the Catholic priest claims.
The Fire of Hell.
ouestion-Some one wishes to know
something about the fire of hell.
lie does not believe that hell is
burning fire.
,Answer-The Catholic church has
never officially declared that the
fire OF he'll is real, material fire;
so that If Catholic denied 1t, he
would not lbe formal hereto
However in face of the plain words
OF Scripture and the almost uni
versal opinion of Catholic the
ologians, it would be very rash for
Catholic to deny the material FIRE
of he'll
The question may ibe asked: How
can a material fire affect spiritual
soul? We might ask in turn. how
can material body affect a spiritual
soul within our very selves? We do
not know, hut we know II does. We
do not know how a material fire
could affect a spiritual soul, but
there are many other things we do
not know or understand, which are
nevertheless true.
The questioner also doubts the
eternity Of hell. Of you deny the
eternity OF hell, you must call Christ
liar, for He told us plainly, over
and over again, that hell is eternal.
If the questioner be wiser than
Christ, let him persist in his belief.
but let him not call himself Christ

Organizations Join a Central
One TO Cover the En-
tire Country.

WASHINGTON, ID. c., April o
In order to gain the benefit of the
advice and experience OF road build
ers all over the country, the South
eru Appalachian Good Roads Asso-
citation, the North Carolina Good
Roads Association, and the South
Carolina Good Roads Association
have become associate members OF
the American Association for Higa-
way Improvement, the national or
sanization formed in Washington by
leading men in the country to cor
relate ana harmonic the efforts of
all existing organizations working
for road improvement.
Other southern associations for
the improvement OF public roads
have given intimations that they will
Join the new association. Some of
these associations have commented
on the fact that there has been a
lack OF concentrated effort on the
part of road associations in the
South and that with more correla-
ton greater results will Ibe obtained.
From the interest taken by the
southern associations in the national
movement there is every evidence OF
d new era OF road building through
out the South
Half a score of other local and
state road Improvement associations
have also Joined the American AS
ISOLATION for Highway Improvement
and there Is reason TO believe that
within few months the association,
which is more Or less a clearing
house for ali other existing organi-
zaGoas, will have relations with
every influential road improvement

Montana Society OF Engineers; and
the Capital Highway Association Of
P!nehurst, y. c., Leonard Tufts,
president.
While the American Association
for Highway improvement will not
supplant any of the existing organ
izations, it will be of great use to all
Its associate meQDers. The associa-
ton is Matchmaking the movements
having IN view the Improvement OF
public roads.
In aid of all such enterprises, the
Washington association will. as its
facilities develop, provide well-in-
formed and thoroughly capable lee
turers, writers and organizers, and
will not restrict its efforts in this
direction to the attainment OF a
salaried stan of assistants, but it is
even now obtaining the gratuitous
aid OF men conspicuous for their
success in all walks of life and who
are willing to aid the national move
ment for good roads from the stand
point of broad minded patriotism.
AS an example, If any of the or
CARNATIONS which have become as
sociate members are struggling with
problem OF how Best to provide a
suitable system of improved roads,
the association will cndeavor to
have representatives from some
other county that is successfully
solving the same problem give their
aid to the movement by ADDRESSING
public meetings or by writing an ex-
PLANTATION of their work
! As the state aud local associations
come into the American Association
for Highway Improvement. they will
find that their strength will be in
creased one hundred fold. The
policy OF the association will be to
throw its strength just when and
where 1t is needed. This will guar
