COMPARES GOSPEL TO RADIUM.
Rev. Dr.. Radcliffe Draws Analogy
Between Mineral and Christianity.

Rev. DR.. Wallace Radcliffe preaching
at the New York Avenue Presbyterian
Church last night on the topic Spiritual
Radium,' compared the alpha, beta and
gamma rays of the mysterious element
with the Trinity, drawing an analogy be-
tween the mineral, whose powers as yet
are by no means fully known or under
stood. and the doctrines of Christianity
In the course of his sermon DIR. Radcliffe
said:
Like radium, the gospel is long time
in getting to the knowledge and relief
of humanity. 1t is not confined to a few
localities nor favored lives, but is always
and by all attainable It was attained
at a great cost, but is now without money
and without price. Like radium, it has
three rays. Its ministry is by the Father,
Son and Holy Spirit all necessary to its
revelation and effect. all efficient, but in
present conditions the middle ray, the
son, is the most spectacular and vigorous
Its general effect is manifold. 1t faint
ly pictures the pervading versatile and
far-reaching influences of the gospel
which is the absolute and infallibIc test
of precious truth: solicits all good OF
human thought and endeavor, and ap-
propriates it for its own purposes; wars
against all evil, institutional and social.
and sends into all existence its purifying
and ennobling vigor.'

CITIZENS SEEM TO FAVOR
ISSUANCE Of MORE BONDS
Petition Circulated by Herbert
Stanley Is Signed by Many
Voters.

Mr.. Herbert Stanley was oc-
cupied several days last week in
circulating among the registered
voters of the Columbus district
number two, a petition to the
Board of Supervisors of Lown-
des County. requesting them to
issue more bonds for further
road improvement. Mr.. STANLEY
states that this petition was
signed willingly and literally
and the large number of sig-
natures of big property interests
shows the strong sentiment of
the people in favs.4of good roads
which means the upbuilding of
the country and natural benefit
to the town. With the many
automobiles already owned in
this section it puts the city and
country people in close touch
and all will be greatly benefited.
Good roads are the foundation
of all successful communities.
Then follows the sub division of
the large farm tracts into smaller
ones and the inevitable settle
ment and close development of
the country with diversified
farming. A bond issue of $50.-
0J0 at this time is the most i'm
portant and sensible move made
by our people in a long while and
it means more towards our pro-
press than anything accomplished
here ia recent years.
The new roads which have
been started will be completed
and made permanent and the
pleasure and satisfaction of rid
ing over them will be bound to
continue the work until the en-
tire county can boast of them.
The fund is to be used for the
further improvement. main
tenance and construction Of good
public roads in district two and
to further improve, extend and
build roads beyond the limits of
district number two and to
maintain the same.
