Expansion Joints In Concrete

In concrete work of any magnitude,
provision must be made for the ex-
pansion and contraction due to the
change of temperature. Experience as
we'll as theory points to the necessity
of providing for change of length, and
in general way such joints should be
from fifteen to thirty feet apart.
There are several ways of accomp-
fishing this, depending somewhat up
on the nature of the structure. Fer
make a joint at each transverse divis-
ion, however, such a joint may not be
strictly an expansion joint, simply
place of minimum strength by making
the division deep into the base course.
a practical way ofproviding expan-
sion joints for curbing, is to insert in-
to the wall at short intervals ten to
twenty feet apart, u piece OF tarred
paper, tamping- the soft concrete in
each side forming the wall, the finish
coat hiding the joint. y vertical
crack will appear at such place.
The amount of opening of the joint
will of course depend upon the change
OF temperature.
For water tight structure with re-
inforcing steel, the f, owing scheme
may be effective. When laying the
concrete, wooden strip, beveled at
one edge, is placed on edge end push
ed we'll into the soft mass. These
strips should be in short sections.
three to five feet long and five inches
wide, taperiug from a thickness OF Is
inch on one side to 4 inch on the OF
her. These strips should have planed
surfaces and be CREASED with axle
grease before using. Soap or tallow
may be used instead of the grease.
When the concrete has taken its in
ital set, or, in other words, when it
nas started to harden; these wooden
strips are taken. out, leaving thin
narrow notch. After the concrete has
become well set fill these crevices with
not asphaltum. Best results are OBJ
,ained by using grade c or D.

Look where he lies; how peacefully

And yet how resolute his cast of feat

E'en in death he holds the impress of

That courage, poise and confidence
That made men hail him chief,

Reveals the secret of that power
Which more than all things else,
Gave him unquestioned mastery
The wondrous thought that lay within,
That bursting eloquent from those
fearless lips
AT times in words as with'ring as II

AT times in tones of thund 'rous warn
ing to the foe
AT times in speech of mild but pungent
jest and brilliant repartee-
But always lucid, sparkling as the

Cheering in its mission us the arrow

Convinced his fellows that he we'll de-
served to be
Commander of their destiny.

The flashing eye that pierced the dens-

The silv'ry tongue that reused and
stilled the hearts and souls of men
All, all are gone, and gone forever

But on the gracious walls of memory
A picture hangs, enlivening, rare
a picture of the forum,
Where the people are assembled
On the grave affairs of state,
And in the very midst stands he,
Of towering form and serious mein,
AS sturdy as the giant oak and as the
lion brave,
Commotion,s S in the very air-the cri-

He lifts his voice; all eyes are turned
all noises hushed,
AS If his very boldness stilled the

And when he's spoken all is said;
The right has won the wrong has 1led.

Christ describes himself as the
good Shepherd, who would
lay down his life for the sheep.

ldV GOWN lllS A11 = xOk S11S O1kCORs
Rev. Scott among other things
said in part. Our Lord having
represented himself as the sheep,
and intimated the regards to be
maintained towards him, partic-
ularly by those who professed
themselves teachers of others,
now changed the similtude, and
said,I Il may also very properly add
that I am myself, by way of en-
inence, the good Shepherd, the
person foretold in scripture un-
der that character, and l most
fully answer itin allits branches,
especially in this, that as the
good Shepherd on occasion lay
eth down his life for the de-
fense Of his sheep, and will ex-
pose himself to any danger for
their safety, l not only expose.
but sacrifice my life for the good
Of my people.
+ The hireling, who is not the
true shepherd, and whose own
property the sheep are not, as
soon us he is apprehensiye. of
approaching danger. and sees
the wolf or some other savage
beast coming, Immediately re-
garding nothing but his safety
is only careful to secure himself,
and leaves the sheep and fees
away: and so the wolf meeting
with no resistance, seizes on
some Of them. ahd disperses the
rest Of the sheep. Now the
hireling fees on such occasions
because he is an hireling, and is
not concerned about the safety
Of the sheep but takes the work
upon him merely for his own
gain, and the wages he is to re-
cieve; and thusly will those
teachers act in a time of danger,
who undertake the office merely
in regard to their own secular
advantage.
But l am the good shepherd,
who have a true affection for my
sheep. and am above the influ-
ence of all such men and views;
and such is the relation that
there is between u.s.. and such
the love we have to one another
that l know and acknowledge my
sheep, and take the kindest and
most tender. care of them: and l
am moreover known, acknowl-
edged and confided in by mine:
so that we mutually are dear un-
to each other; and even as the
father knoweth me, and owns
his affection and regard to me, By
the sure tokens of his presence
and appreciation, and l also
know, or acknowledge and honor
the Father in the delight with
which l do his will; so the affec-
ton is reciprocal between me
and my sheep; and it is in love to
them, as we'll as with an ulti-
mate view to his appointment
and his glory that I lay down my
life for the sheep he has given
me, so also do my sheep acknowl-
edge and confde in me, and so do
I protect and harbor them. And
would further observe to you,
as a point of great Importance,
that l have other sheep which
are not of this fold: them also
must at length bring in: and
know that they will hear and
obey my voice, not withstanding
that ignorance, vice and misery
in which they are now involved;
Eastern Colorado times., 1913-01-31

and so all being Incorporated in
to one society, of which | am the
head, the governor and guardian,
there shall be one sheepfold and
one shepherd.
And for this reason more es-
pecially does the Father love me,
and approve it as an act of emil
nent duty and love to him, be-
cause l am come with this de-
sign into the world, to lay down
my life for the redemption of my
-sheep,. who are dear to him as
well as to me, that l may take it
again and posses it forever, to
be employed for his glory and for
the happiness of my people.
For, although 1 am shortly
to die by the most cruel enc
mics, yet no one deprives me of
my life, or. takes it from me
against my will; for I have every
moment a power to rescue myself
at pleasure, and could even with
my expiring breath command
immediate deliverance; but l will
manifestly show that will lay
it down of myself, and voluntar-
lily relinquish my body, sooner
than my soul would in a course
of nature~have been dislodged
from it; and this in me will be a
very regular though wonderful
act: for as I have life in myself
John: 5; 26) have full power
and authority thus to lay it down
when shall think fit; and I have
also power to resume it at pleas
ure, by entering into and quick
ing my body again. And this
commandment 1 have received
from my Father, and shall ere
long fulfil the charge in both its
branches.
There is not perhaps anywhere
to be found a greater instance of
the force Of prejudice than in
those perverse Jews, who cen
sured Christ as a lunatie, for one
of the gravest and most excellent
speeches that was ever delivered.
Let us consider Christ as the
good shepherd, and humbly COM
mend our souls to him; as ever
we desire they SHOULD be, safe
and happy.
We have known his kind re-
CARDS to the flock in exposing
and laying down his life for
them. And he hath not laid it
down in vain Delightful thought.
Our compassionate shepherd even
when the sword oftAe Lord was
awakened to smite him, has not
so fallen as to rise no more; but
as in this great and good work
he voluntarily laid down, so he
has also resumed his life and
still bears in his heart the same
concern for his flock, and uses
his renewed life and exalted dig
nifty for their security and happi-
ness.
Let us humbly acknowledge
him as acknowledged by the Faith
erlet US courageously and CRATE.
fully own him, and be ready to
lay down our lives also for him.
We are those other sheep Of
whom he spoke, who were not
originally of the fold but by his
grace are now brought in to the
great shepherd and bishop of
souls.
Let us pray that the boundaries
