WATER in BASEMENT
MAIN ST. school

Prof. Woodley hoped to move into
the new school building by this time,
but water having entered the base
ment made the move impracticable
and it will probably be some time dur
ing the coming week before the change
is made from the fairfield building.
The cause of the water getting into
the basement is due to i'm
proper drainage around the building.
Funds appropriated for the construc-
ton of the building have been ex-
hausted There still remains a good
deal of work that should be done on
the grounds proper drainage for one
thing, the filing in and leveling off OF
the front and the building of a con
crete walk, that is absolutely neces
sary, and other improvements. The
school officials cannot do any more
under present conditions.
Shades have been placed on the
windows and desks placed and all in
terror work is practically complete.

A young farmer passed through the
city yesterday on his way to Laurel
from the water swept Delta country.
He stated that he owned a farm and
a nice lot of stock. He had good
home and plenty of everything. The

COMPLAINT CAUSED
BY Sewer WATER

Residents on Elizabeth avenue and
Williams street have been up in arms
over the stencil caused by the city
sewer mains overflowing. The mat
ter was reported to the city, and for
a time it looked as if serious condi-
tions would arise from the occurrence
The water has gone down now to such
an extent that no more trouble is an
ticipated.
The cause of the overflow was the
back-water from Bouie river, and the
only fear felt now is that the sewers
will become congested by the accumu
lation of rubbish that will necessitate
good deal of expense and incon
venience to clean out.

LARGE CONGREGATION
AT CHRISTIAN Church

The largest week-night audience of
the series of meetings being held at
the Central Christian church, greeted
the speaker last night Some new
songs were sung and the congregation
Joined heartily in the singing. The
text of the sermon "He Will Abund-
antly Pardon" was found in Isaiah
55:7. The speaker stated that pardon is
the Withholding of punishment due
for crime and is the act of an Off
cial or superior in remitting the penal
ty for an offense committed. He said
further that pardon and change of
hearts are not synonymous; that they
are two separate and distinct things.
Pardon takes place in the mind of
God; change of heart takes place in
man.
Every man in a normal condition OF
mind recognizes the need of pardon
and reconciliation with God. Man is
so constituted that he longs for unity
with God, the desire for God being
Unborn.
Numerous passages of scripture
were quoted to show that man obtains
access to the pardon of sin through
Jesus Christ; that the blood of Jesus
cleanses from all sin; that nothing
else cleanses. Therefore man mus
take the steps that brings him to the

blood of Jesus Christ. Man may not
understand the philosophy of this and
it is not the only thing that man does
not understand. Man must do with
God as he does with material things,
the philosophy of which he does not
understand, accept and use it. We
come to the blood of Christ; we ac-
cept the passion of Christ, and the
terms and conditions of pardon by
faith and obedience to the commands.
We know we are pardoned and made
free from sin because we have obey
ed; because of the indwelling pres
ence of the Holy Spirit" whom God
gives to them that obey him. Here
by we know that we know him if we
keep his commandments"
Religion is faith until obedience; re-
ligion is faith until reduced to practice
then it is experience. If we would
have religious experience there must
needs be first the faith and obedience.
There was one splendid conversion
at the conclusion of the sermon.
