WORK PROGRESSING ON
NEW ELECTRIC ROUTE
Surveyors Busy Mapping Out
Route for Anderson to At
Ianta Road
Especial Dispatch to The Journal)

LAWRENCEVILLE, Ga, June g.
When in 1909 The Atlanta Journal and
the New York Herald combined their eff
forts in the routing of the first of the
great national highways and in so
doing opened up ito the eyes of the
world much rich territory which travel
ers by railroad never would have had
the opportunity of seeing few people be-
tween Anderson S. c. and A:irntz Tore
saw the day when an electric railroad
might follow practically the route or
that highway between those two cities.
Surveys so far completed for the pro-
posed electric railroad to connect An
derson and Atlanta show that at no point
will the rails and the wires of this big
new development be distant appreciably
from the road first travelled by the Jour
nal-Herald scouting parties.
Since March Is, when the survey be-
gan az Anderson, the engineers have
been steadily at work. They have COM
pleted some 10 miles of the survey. ana
are reported as having about 81 miles
yet to go before they end in Atlanta.
Their party, numbering about 15 men,
have passed jefferson and are now be-
tween that point and Hoschton, within
less than two miles of the latter.
From Hoschton they will survey to
Hog Mountain House, which is one or
the points indicated in the readings of
the Journal-Herald national highway
route boog. From Hog Mountain House,
they will continue beside the national
highway to Lawrenceville, and thence
via Tucker into Atlanta, entering the
terminus at some point on the eastern
borders of the city.
Great interest in the revelation of the
route the surveying party is about to
take is manifest in this section, where
uncertainty has prevailed until now.
Everywhere the party is welcomed, and
their project is being received with open
arms and substantial interest. Some
days ago they were the guests of town
and countryside at a big barbecue in the
outskirts of jefferson, where their hosts
included the leading men of that whole
lneighborhood.

Dear Mrs. Thomas: I want to tell
you how much L enjoy this part Of the
Journal, and Mrs. Feltons letters.
Chickens and gardens seem the all
absorbing topics right now, and we
must take up the idea our president has
tried to scatter broadcast over the land
and do our parts toward preparedness"
We must do our part toward canning
fruits and vegetable and raising chick
ems.
Last year I put up twenty-six quarts
each of berries and peaches, thirty-nine
quarts Of tomatoes, nine quarts of
pickles, eleven pints of jelly. I did my
canning the old time way. We raised
lois of beans which we had canned on
halves with a canning outfit and when
we received our half it was one hundred
and seventy-one cans. I did not raise
many chickens last year, but in Deem
Der we moved away from town and We
had so far to move that I sold all
that I had and when we reached our
country home I bought five hens and a
rooster. The hens soon began to lay.
have every chicken that Matched except
one, and they are beauties. am going
to try to can more vegetable and raise
more chickens this year, though there
are only the two little girls and my hus-
band to eat them It's nice to have a
surplus.
Wishing every one Of you a pleasant
and prosperous season, I am,
Yours truly,
MRS. o. o. GORDON.

Continuing, Bishop Acheson said:
The Holy Spirit places a measure be-

is Gods highest measure. God gives
US this thought that we might have a
desire to be worthy. We see ourselves
in Jesus Christ. The forgiveness of
God is not n very easy thing, yet it is
very real thing, because God does
forgive. Forgiveness with God is a
very hard thing for God wants to
change us, wants to purify us. God
| forgives but he wants US always to
nave the measure DeSlue us.
How do we know God? asked Bishop
Acheson. We know Him only through
Jesus Christ. If you take out of the
| world everything that occurred 20

of music, if it were possible, absolute
| ly eliminate it out of the world. what
would we know of God? It wasn't

THIRD DAY OF MISSION week
Suagan Bishop Acheson Addressed United Congregation at
Christ Church Union Service for Children to be Held
This Afternoon.

Interest in the mission services con-
Quoted this week by the Rt. Rev. E.
Campion Acheson, suffragan bishop of
Connecticut, in the three local Episco-
pal churches, is daily increasing and in
spite of the very stormy weather We'd
nesday evening there was a good sized
congregation at the service held in
Christ Episcopal church. The three
churches uniting in these mission SER
vices are st. Andrews Episcopal
church, Greeneville and Trinity and
Christ Episcopal churches.
The services on Wednesday opened
with holy communion at st. Andrews
Episcopal church at els o'clock in
the morning. At 10 o'clock holy COM
church and the preaching service at
Christ church was held at o'clock
in the evening.
Bishop Acheson's text, Will Arise
and Go Unto My Father, was taken
from the story of the Prodigal Son. Az
ter announcing the text Bishop Ache
son said: You notice. those of you
who were present Tuesday evening,
that the text is just the opposite to
the text I spoke on them, Father give
me the portion of thy substance that
falleth to me. Last night it was a
notice of withdrawal; tonight, it is a
notice of return.
God never leaves anyone of US in
the far country without attempting to
get us back, said Bishop Acheson. The
Holy Spirit never leaves you. 1t is
there all the time trying to be heard.
1t is the suggestion of Almighty God
that brings US to a point where we re-
solve to go to the Father. The ever
present God, the insistent Christ, puts
this suggestion in our hearts. God
stands before us in purity in some
| form or other and we begin to see
| and want to be clean.
To illustrate this point Bishop Ache
son told the story of a nice young man
who married a very nice young wom-
an. Her name was Kate; his name
Sam. Sam got to drinking and went
| out nights with the boys" Then he
| began to complain at home. He said
! he could not stand conditions in the
! factory, that they were all against
| him. He was turned out of his work
| His wife pleaded with him and God
| touched his heart. Kate said Sam
you ought to have married a better
man. She answered, Sam, I did. Then
he said, My girl, you'll have your man
| back.
| The insistent Christ is calling to us
in things. in all things, said the bishop
! to turn from the hellward way and
| take the heavenly way. When sin has
