AT the morning service Sunday at
Christ Reformed church the Rev A..
M. Gluck, pastor, preached the an
nual sermon to the p. O. s. of A.
lodge and the ladies' auxiliary The
members attended In body, reaching
the church at IL O'Clock. The ser
mon was splendid one, and elected
much comment and praise
The text was Jeremiah 81, and the
theme, "The Nations Need OF Men,
The pastor dwelt on the historical
setting Of the text II was a critical
time in Israel. The religious life
Of the people had sunk TO a very low
ebb pAn Invasion vas threatened For
safety the people had fled 10 the city
of Jerusalem, thinking that behind its
massive walls they would be secure.
At this point the prophet appears and
tells them that strong walls viii not
save them; nothing but righteous men
win save them
Thte pastor said the message is
true for us today The safety of our
nation is not in armies and fleets and
material resources, but in the right
eousness OF its people This nation
cannot stand any better than amy in
the past unless 1t has righteousness
men and women to save her The
preacher then spoke of the relation
OF any order Of men to the church.
1t is the relation of the pool TO the
spring The pool dies Off unless il is
fed by the spring.
The church is the spring from
which flows the water Of life. As a
proof the preacher cited the fact that
no order founded upon brotherhood,
which means sincere, has ever -four
lished in land when the church rs
not to be found. The preacher then
brotherhood, temperance, and pa
brotherhood stemyerllee, and pa
triotism-- principles for which the or
der stands, and showed the great need
OF the applications of these principles
in our national life today The ser.
mon closed with an appeal for the
guarding Of American ideals.

struction of electric power line be-
tween Martinsburg and Berkeley

The work is under tine direction OF SUI
perintendent ]. j. Lumley of the
Northern Virginia Electric and Pow
err Company which has headquarters
and its central plant at Winchester
This is the new title of the company
which recently purchased the Capon
Light and Power Company of Berke-
ley Springs from A. j., Barclay, a
Pennsylvania promoter. The import
ance of this new power line to both
Martinsburg and Berkeley Springs is
of the greatest Importance. The route
follows the Warm Springs road.
The Great Northern Company is
constructing connecting link that
will furnish almost unlimited power
between the two points after the most
modern and approved electric system
The link is to be an overhead air
line and covers the county road more
than 20 times starting from the point
here mentioned and connecting with
the power plant at Berkeley near the
depot.

already in operation at and in the vi
entity of Berkeley Springs and do

have been seriously unaccommodated

The World is in position to state
authoritatively that two sand manu-
features win begin operation at Berke

other enterprises are going to be es-
tablished at that point, which will re.
quire a great deal Of power. 1t is ex-
