Expert e. A. LeaveE, automobile in

TOO many people burn up their
tires, instead Of wearing them OUT

Mr.. Leavell believes that most OF

attention to his tires" he says. Iowa

Il Corinthians Bill In the Divine ar
rangement Jesus Christ is the Founda-
ton. the Rock, upon which Is built the
entire superstructure or His Church
the one Catholic, world wide Church
On this Rock. Christ Jesus. as st Pc
ter declares. all the Church is being
built as a Temple Of God. Il Peter
2:4-1O) The New Jerusalem, the
Church In glory, bad twelve founda-
ton stones. built upon the one Foun'
dation Rock. the Lord Jesus Christ
II would manifestly be erroneous,
therefore. to suppose that our Lord
abdicated His own place In the Church
In favor Of st Peter. much as He
loved him
What then. did Jesus mean when
He called St Peter stone, spoke OF
building His Church upon this rock.
and declared that the gates OF Hell
blades the grave, would not prevail
against itf We reply. Jesus went
down into the prison-bouse OF death,
Sheol. Hades. the tomb; but on the
third day the gates Of sheol. Hades.
were opened. and He came forth
These gates will not prevail against
the Church. as they did not prevail
