One of the newer methods Of road

Why Not Get Busy +!

Last week the Monitor mentioned
| the fact that automobile traffic was
coming to Vermont more than ever
this summer. But is Vermont any
better prepared to handle the traffic
than last year? 1t has been sad fact
that what summer business has come
our way in the past has, as a whole,
put up with US" instead Of being
invited, entertained and cared for in
first class shape We have not the
number of modern, clean, wholesome
and cordial hotels we need. Take Or
leans county for instance. Orleans
county has more bodies of water OF
size than any other county in the
state. 1t has the mountain scenery,
rivers, drives and every attribute to
summer custom, yet no successful ef-
fort seems to be made for summer
hotels. Bomoseen, Morey, st. Gather
inc, and other Vermont lakes, not one
whit better, if as good as Willoughby
and our other lakes in Orleans county,
support summer hotels that pay. And
here we have lying at our very doors
in every part of the county lakes that
are admitted to be unsurpassed for
their size, without so much as a sem
blance of modern house with modern
summer amusements and sporting OPP
At Willoughby, people are unable,
summer after summer, to obtain ac-
,ommodations. 1t is not because |
people do not want to come to these
places in large numbers but because |
We keep them away. One party from
/ large New England city, who spends
/ part Of each summer at Willoughby,
last year to the editor that
re could fill a medium sized house
rom his city alone. But we keep
hem away by not giving them quar-
ers and letting others invite them
,ther ways.

NEBRASkAN'S MISHAP AND
EUROPE'S NAVAL WARFARE

The explosion Of a mine or torpedo
! against the American steamship Ne
braskan off the coast Of Ireland has
not only reawakened the American
German sore but it has also served to
emphasize anew that while the Ger
mans are helping Turkey and Austria
on land, they are devoting their atten-
ton on water almost exclusively to
the attempted enforcement Of the
blockade against the British Isles
Even the smallest events in this war
sem to reach out almost endlessly in
variety Of directions.
American naval authorities say it
will be a difficult matter to tell from
an examination of the Nebraskan
when she arrives in port whether she
struck mine or was hit by torpedo,
while the British naturally emphasize
the torpedo theory. Under these cir
cumstances it may be well for us to
consider the probabilities in the case.
As soon as Italy's declaration Of
war against Austria and in effect
against Germany became certainty
the German government indicated
through the semi official press that it
would be desirable to postpone the
reply to the American note Of protest
concerning the sinking of the Lusi-
tania, the friendly tone Of the German
comments on the situation also in
creased, and there has been a constant
ly improving outlook for. peace be-
tween the two powers.
1t is not reasonable to suppose under
these circumstances that the German
would wantonly imperil /
her relations with the United States at
this critical time, by seeking 10 sink
an American freighter. This view
must prevail all the more since the

States, and therefore was not engaged

AGE.TO.C0ME DOCTRINE
lDue Time Continuedl

Is, Tim. 1856. For there is one
God and one mediator between God
and men. the man Christ Jesus, who
gave Himself ransom for an, (mar-
ginal readingl to be testimony in
due time. This was done at different
times, through all the prophets, whose
words Of saving comfort were dictated
by the Spirit Of Christ, which was in
them, and which led them in their
earthly life walks. LIST Peter LILO TO
II. These were duo times (pluran
when Christ was testified of through
the divine word Titus I-3) and in the
due time predicted for His appearance
at these previous times, the Lord Him
self appeared and testified for Him
self Of His mission Of the world.
Again referring to the fullness of the
time in which the Saviour should
come 10 earth, which was the due time
for Christ to testify personally to the
original plan it will be seen that His
testimony covered the needs Of every
age. He really did redeem those who
had lived under the law. So also did
He provide the way for those TO be-
come sons of God who should live al a
later period. Gal. WAS. John LIZ. |
Having positively redeemed those
faithful ones of a former age, the
best of evidence is in the fact that |
they had the benefit Of a covenant |
which could save them and embraced |
its provisions For we have the posi-
tive statement that there is no
other name under heaven where
by men can be saved except the name
Of Christ. Acts IV-12 But did the
people of that remote age really be-
ieve in Christ as Saviour? Most
issuredly. Abraham actually saw the
lue time of Christ's testimony to
Gods plan of salvation and was made
glad by the sight. John VIII-56. II
