PHOENIX, Ariz., April 16.-The
worst was believed to be over today
in Eastern Arizona's flooded district
where torrents from melting SHOWS
combined with burrowing gophors
weakened the sixty-foof oarthen irri-
cation dam at Lyman and a smaller
reservoir above Woodruff. Five Mex
leans and three American children
make up the total loss of life. so
far as known. To quick warnings
by telephone is attributed the saving
of many families in the path of the
floods.
Nearly million dollars damage
was done 10 property and even more
loss may result TO farmers who are
now without their irrigation water
supply. Holbrook. Woodruff and ST.

beginning of time wherein greater
cooperation and more pronounced
commercial interests are employed.

FAITH SAME TODAY AS
OF OLD, PASTOR SAYS
Only Outward Expression
Changes, According to Rev.
Alvin E. Magary.

The faith delivered to the saints will
always be the same In essence, said
Rev. Alvin e. Magary, pastor, In his
sermon last night in the Prospect
Street Presbyterian Church, Maple
wood. It's outward expression will
change with the worlds need, he said.
Tho pastor took his text from Jude
iii-'The faith once delivered to the
saints" and his subject was THE Re-
ligion of Tomorrow"
THE question Is whether the faith
once delivered to the saints will do
for us of later day. We are living
in very different environment, and
our lives follow q very different
routine. Yet in the great fundamental
| things we are not much different. We
must worship personal, active and
purposeful God: we must attain sal
walton, which simply means that we
must fulfill our proper destiny, and we
must labor together in such progress
| as we can make toward the kingdom
| of God on earth. These things the
saints of every age have believed.
But there are certain dispositions
of our own time that we need to con-
slider This is no time for superfiuous
articles of belief. The church of to-
day sees the wisdom of holding to the
great universal things and ceasing to
insist upon the non-essential and
doubtful things. The belief that is
necessary is that which is apparent to
the average man as he reads the New
Testament. To insist upon more is
spiritual tyranny. The unholy squab-
bles of Christian history have never
been about these big, important,
clearly revealed truths, but always
about something that doesn't matter
much
Another adaptation of the faith to
our time and our knowledge of the
world is to be seen in the preventive
side of modern religion. We do not
wait for the sinner to be as burn
ing brand before becoming interested
in him. The church sees that its mis-
sion is not only to reclaim the man
who has fallen, but also to labor to
prevent him from falling.
"It is certain that the faith once
delivered to the saints was not
rigid, frozen thing that was incapable
of adaptation to changing conditions.
1t is as futile to send a young minis
ter into the fight with present-day
difficulties, armed with rigid set OF
century-old IDEAS as it would be to
send a soldier into the field armed
with one of the muskets of Napoleon.
Growth always involves change. A
faith that does not grow Is dead. II
man would discover whether he is
really alive or not, let him look back
| twenty years and see how many new
ideas he has absorbed"
Newark evening star and Newark advertiser., 1915-10-18

good sport is not in favor OF that
one-sided condition.
II ask the son or husband to think
of their wife and mother. I have
found that wherever the suffrage
question Is up, every evil influence is
combined, every man who lives on
sin Is opposed to equal suffrage. Why
Is 1t that good people haven't as much
sense as bad people? Why do they
stand by and give vice a chance to
win over virtue?
What Prison Statistics Show.
"Out in Nebraska, when I was
speaking in favor of equal suffrage.
telegraphed to Lincoln to ascertain
the number of inmates in the peniten-
tiary. / found that there were only
five women out Of 359. l have spoken
in high schools In every State Of the
Union. You find the girls, two to
one, three to one and four to one in
the majority. They are securing the
fundamental and higher education Of
life. Why the girls can tell the boys
more about governmental affairs than
the young men ever knew. You al
ways find more women than men in
church. II the women have enough
sense to keep out Of prison and have
enough sense TO 30 10 cnurch now 40
you know they won't have enough
sense to voter
Toward the close of his address Mr.
Bryan advocated that the question of
whether a country would enter into
war or maintain peace should be sub
mitted to q vote to the people.
"A referendum on peace or war
would be the proper procedure" he
said. "If there is any question that
should be settled it's the question
that may involve life. Women should
have a right to vote. Woman has
seen man declare war on q sham
standard of patriotism. She has seen
her son taken away from her. To-
day, when the world is sick Of war,
It Is time we heed the voice Of woman
to teach the world a higher standard
peace"

mitting itself to be misled in indorsing
changes in the plans for the boat.
MY father resigned his position
with the Electric Boat Company"
said Mr. Holland, because he would
not be a party to the changes on the
K-2
After quitting the company my
father submitted plans to the govern
mont officials for submarines which
showed q speed of twenty-five knots
submerged, and offered to supervise
the erection Of the boats at the Brook
lyn navy-yard for a draughtsmans
salary.
They refused his offer, claiming
that the boats they were then build
ing contained secrets which they did
not want to divulge.
''At that time my father warned
the government officials that the
boats that were being built for them
were nothing more than death-traps
and that they were unpracticable.
This fact has since been proven.
while 1t Is claimed that the bat
tories in this K-2 boat are defective.
and that is the ground on which the
calling of the court-martlal is based,
there are many other things in the
boats that are defective and which
will probably be shown at the trial of
Admiral Little"
