Points to Be Remembered
We must not forget that the Jews
We're not Christians, and that the rules
laid down by Jesus and the Apostles
for Christians were not applicable to
the Jews. According TO the Scriptures
Moses and the nation of Israel were II
House OF Servants QIcbrews 3:5. g..
They were promised Divine blessings
in proportion MS they served faithfully
the Divine Law. which did not call
upon them to be saints in the Chris
tan sense of that word.
Another difference between the Jew
and the Christian is that the former
was promised temporal blessings us Il
reward for faithfu!ness, while the lat
ter is promised spiritual blessings with
temporal universities AMI trials of faith,
patience. love and loyalty. Unless this
distinction between the two Ages and
the two Laws be borne in mind, we
shall continually be in difficulty
According TO the Law, Samson was
rated as very faithful servant Of
God. His faithfulnCSS consisted in his
loyalty to the Divine requirements and
to Israel, Gods cOvcnanted people His
faith was continually manifested in
all he did; and his life was used in
serving his people. He is rated as IN

Our city fathers motored to
Fulton yesterday afternoon for
the purpose of Inspecting the
fire department of that city !;
with view, of course, TO Install
ing something similar here. The
authorities of our neighbOrlng
city very kindly showed them
the auto-fire truck in action and
otherwise assisted them in their
investigation. The Hickman dele
cation was very much pleased
with Fulton 5 equipment and hope
TO be able at an early date to
improve conditions here. 1t Is
a matter of common knowledge
that something must be done, or
our insurance rates will be raised
considerably; in fact, the insur-
ance companies are holding the
matter up now merely awaiting
this action in the part of the
council. 1t will be money saved
to invest a few thousand dollars
in some kind of fire-fighting APP
paratus. Those who went 10

THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE
LOCAL OPPORTUNITIES

In a recent issue OF the Michigan
Manufactures and Financial Record is
an article dealing with the develop
ment OF Michigan, and calling atten-
ton TO the fact that the proper way
in which TO develop a town or COM
munity is to have the movement start
ed and backed up by the local people.
The place that waits for some stranger
to come along and point out the
chances for making money always
loses. because the people who put their
money into the enterprise that is pro-
NOTED from without have TO divide
both their investment and profits with
the promoter. There is no earthly
reason why every community cannot
wake up and develop the opportunities
that lie at its door instead or paying
an enormous tribute to outsiders to do
the work at a later period. If all the
money that is made at home were in
vested at home every town and hamlet
in the state would be a fiourishing
center of industrial activity. Instead
of investing money at home in home
enterprises majority of people who
have funds To invest prefer TO take
chance with some outside concern OF
which they know nothing, but what is
lOlu lIleHl ny anu NAPiolhNN
to them in prospectuses. This money
that is sent outside is lost TO the town
and is the primary cause ofthe down
fall Of many villages and communities
which have within their limits un-
bounded opportunities. The person
who has money to invest and sends II
out Of town for stock in some foreign
enterprise is doing his home commun-
ity a rank injustice. There are just
as many opportunities to make money
in Belding as there are in any other
town in the country, but the average
citizen walks over these chances every
day and never thinks that they can be
turned into dollars until some stranger
comes along and starts in promoting
some enterprise TO utilize them. IL is
then that the local man occasionally
invests and in so doing pays at least
35 per cent to the stranger for showing
him something that he always knew
existed. but did not have the couarge
TO tackle himself or in company with
his fellows. There Is too much waste
in investment these days for the good
Of the country through catering to the
promoters who make business OF
convincing people that they can make
money at home or abroad when they
already knew that such was the case.
