The Powell Fiscal Court has a
record of precaution in allowing
lnJudicious claims, and many of
the boys are each term now turn
ed down. The court has the
thanks of the people of the coun-
ty for what they have saved the
county since the present men,
bers have come into office. But
still even greater retrenchments
must be made if we hope in the
future to have better roads. Our
tax rate is now to the limit, and
if a saving is not made, there is
no show for any material i'm
provement of our roads until the
law gives us State aid or the
county votes a bond issue. Yet
if the Fiscal Court can lay up a
few hundred dollars and say to
the citizens of the county, that
the court will appropriate money
for one-half the cost of a few
miles of turnpike if the citizens
along any special road will raise
the other one-half. This would
give the citizens that want to do
something, but feel that they
cannot afford to do it all, an OPP
portunity to improve their road.
We believe a plan similar to the
one suggested can be perfected
in a few years to come if the
court will put that object in view
and Systematically work to that
end as the Court is capable and
apparently willing and anxious

was, did not have the visible mani
festation of Gods presence until il
was entirely dedicated to him. There
is a peculiar sense in which it is true.
He hath filled the hungry with good
things, and the rich he hath sent
empty away"
8. Power is to be claimed only
upon the conditions of a clean heart
and a yielded life.
Perhaps you have been a Christian
many years, and yet for long time
there has been no song in your soul;
prayer has been a burden, the word
of God has had no meaning to you,
and service has been irksome. Why?,
1t may be:
/. Neglected prayer. God means
prayer to be the greatest power in the
spiritual world, and although Chris
tians know how to do scores of other
things. and although churches use
numerous agencies for making the
work successful, yet we have lost the
secret of the church and the secret
do not know how to pray.
2. Neglect of Gods word. Many a.
man can find the first step in his
career away from God in his neglect
of the word of God which is meant.
not only for his food, but for his
guidance. So many of us object toI
the Bible, or neglect it because itsI
teachings go contrary to some habit
which we cherish, or some sin which
we commit.
8. Lack of forgiveness or apology.
If we are too stubborn to forgive peo-
Pile who have injured us, or too proud
to ask forgiveness of those whom wei
have injured, God pity us, for there
can be no song in the soul until wei
are right with God and right with our
fellowmen.
4. Unconfessed and unforsaken sin
This may seem small to the sinner,
but sin which is not confessed and
forsaken closes the eyes against the
beauties of heaven, shuts the ears
against the songs of heaven, and bars
the way to the soul that would enter
in. More than that, sin drives JOY
out of the Christian life.
5. Lack of complete surrender. This
is the real meaning of the text, for
| the burnt Offering indicated that
everything was given up to God; and
! it is only as We make complete
| abandonment of curse yes to God, that
he fills us with joy in believing and
happiness in Christian service. May
it net be that the years of our Chris
tan life have been unfruitful and joy
less, and void of music, because We
have kept back part of the price
which we should have paid to God?
Do we not know that there has been
a lack of complete surrender, and
complete abandonment to him?

MONTICELLO SHOULD BE BOUGHT

In fulfilllment of the spirit of JOS

World is seeking subscriptions for Il
$4,000 monument to Thomas Jeffer-
son in New York. But Congressman
Martin Littleton believes there is a
better way to honor the memory OF
the great Virginian than to build A
new stone or bronze eff1gy of him.
Mr. Littleton would have the money
spent for the purchase of Monticello,
the Virginia home of jefferson, and
for its preservation as a memorial to
him for all time.
There would be far more signifi-
canoe in Monticello as a permanent
memorial to Jefferson" says the Syria
cuse Post-Standard, than in any pill

a surfeit of monuments Mt. Vernon
means more to the American people
than the obelisk in Washington Thu
Lincoln farm will become a mecca of
American patriotism second only To
Mt. Vernon in its picturesque and
impressive interest"
Mr. Littleton's suggestion regarding
the purchase of Monticello has been
received with much favor by the pub
lie. The popular feeling is that It
would be better to buy jefferson $
home from it's present owner and
give it to the nation than to add an
other to the monuments that litter
New York. But if the Jefferson me-
mortal must take the form of some
thing to be built, then, as the New
Orleans States holds, the construction
should take the form of a great hall
at the University of Virginia, of which
he was the founder and patron AMI
which he loved so we'll.

who restored the customary routine
of sacrifice and service within. the
temple. Chapter 80 describes the re-

entire land following the cleansing OF
the temple and the restoration OF the
sacrifice. The background is dark
enough-a polluted temple, the serv'
ice neglected. God forsaken by the
people. the vessels of holiness given
away for unholy purposes, and the
song of the Lord having ceased in the
courts of the temple.
Music was a prominent part in the
temple service, and it is a prominent
part of Christian life. No one has so
much right to sing as the man or
woman who has been redeemed by
the precious blood of Jesus Christ;
no one can know such joy as the one
who has a sense of forgiveness.

Many young man has made a bar
