Canal Nearing Completion.
THE canal is nearing completion. The
great locks are now being trimmed up
for the formal opening. The massive
concrete work is all done. The long
rows of ornamental electric lights are
being installed. The lighthouses and
various signals and buoys are being
placed. The canal is filled with water.
The great dams are doing their work
splendidly. The spillways are able to
take off all superfluous water The
locks are working perfectly. and every
known precaution is being taken to
guard against accident or damage.
Humanely speaking. it would appear
the opening Of the canal on schedule
time would be a great earthquake,
which might damage the masonry of
the locks.
But the 'earthquaker' employed by
our government whom I met in our
church. told me that exhaustive exami-
nations had been made of the entire
isthmus and the adjacent country and
that no serious earthquake in the
Canal Zone is anticipated

fruit which the natives use in place of
bread. Almost everywhere under the
soil are roots called yams. When
cooked these taste very much like
sweet potatoes. And growing wild in
the forests are bananas and cocoanuts
in great abundance.

In a description of Panama Dr. 8. Earl
Taylor of the Methodist Episcopal
Church tells of an unaccomplished task
and a spiritual emergency.
II was agreeably surprised during my
entire stay at Panama" says Dr. Tay-
lor. Before leaving America had read
much about the Gatun lock and about
the Culebra cut. In fact, / was led to
think that the Canal Zone consisted pri-
marily of locks and cuts, and that the
whole thing would be rather dreary to
man not particularly interested in ma
chinery or engineering feats.
But to my great delight. I found the
canal region full of human interest and
also vastly attractive on account Of its
tropical scenic beauty. Few of us, l
think, have fully realized that the Canal
Zone lies we'll within the tropics. This
means rich and varied foliage, and un-
usual forms of flora and fauna. Bananas,
pineapples and cocoanuts grow In their
natural state in this region. Rare butter
flies. beetles and bugs of various sorts.
some of them rich in coloring. are to be
seen. And monkeys and curious wild
turkeys are found In the forests.
THE whole canal project has largely
resolved itself into damming up the
mouths of two rivers. the one flowing in
the direction of the Atlantic ocean and
the other in the direction of the Pacific.
BY damming up these rivers. naturally.
two lakes were formed, the one on the
Atlantic side being very large and the
one on the Pacific side much smaller.
After the dams were built 1t became
necessary, of course. to construct locks,
so as to let down the ships from the
lakes to the sea level. Then 1t remained
to construct a regular sea-level canal
out to the ocean. The Culebra cut was
required simply for the reason that be-
tween the lakes there was a ridge of
mountains which had to be cut through,

The new boat, which is to cost $4,000
and be a memorial to the late Rev. DR..
Robert G. Seymour. an eminent Baptist
in his day, will have a good field in the
Puget sound region.
The people are eager for the innovation
and have subscribed part Of the money
for 1t. Every possible convenience. es-
peclally electric apparatus for power
and kitchen. is found on these travelling
churches.
The automobile colportage cars and
churches put into service by Baptists
are in use in Maine and Connecticut. and
Baptists have now seven cars that are
fitted up as churches.
They are hauled by railroads Of the
Rocky mountain and southwest regions
and laid up on side tracks at small sta
tions, where religious services are held
and Sunday schools organized.
The railroads haul the cars without
charge. Baptists say they have demand
for the eighth car. Very large fields are
covered by each.
