THE REsURRECTIoN OF THE RoDy.

Editor FL Paso Herald:
We well know what the law Of "sin
and death" is-that pain and suffering
sorrow and remorse follow hard upon
our pathway, are rife throughout all
the world. They follow as inevitable
effects. and. according TO natures in
exorable law.
Now, St Paul says in Rom. s. 3. that
'the law OF the spirit Of life hath made
me free from the law of sin and
death"-that is. these natural effects
pain, remOrse, etc. He says further: ITO
be carnally minded is death. but TO be
spiritually minded is life" There evil
IDENTIFY is some life principle within Us
that can conquer this tendency toward
death, and that, cultivated. will tri-
umph over the effects OF what we call
natures laWS-of pain, etc, even dissO-
luton, What is this principle? How we
all, every mothers son of US, do long to
possess this principlel Have you ever
seen a man gradually fail. grow weaker
and weaker each day, and vet his spirit
not only retain its former bouyancy,
but even get stronger and more full of
vitality as his physical strength wanes2
What is this life principle that fails not
with his flesh? (Why can we be scien-
tific In our deductions about material
things, and when we come to studying
the spirit, leave our exact scientific
methods and lead off into all sorts Of
senseless meanderinEsD HE that
raised up Christ from the dead (because
il was not possible for death to hold
HIND shall also quicken your mortal
bodies, by his spirit that dwelleth in
you"
Like the life principle in the dull
chrysalis is bound sooner or later TO
emerge in the beautiful butterfly. so
our life principle is bound sooner or
later to overcome the dizziness and cor
ruption of the flesh and rise in that
indestructible body-because we pos
sess the spirit Of God, and cannot be
bound by the laws of sin and death
corruption. Shall we hamper and kill
this spirit of life within US. or shall we
inhibit the things that war against it,
Shall we grownups so manage our
city. our schools that these tender chill
dren will have a fighting chance to be
good or shall we leave them as they

health conditions here is found in the
fact that two of our prominent physi-

| Some of the causes for good health

| All weeds and grass are kept cut on all
streets, alleys and vacant lots and prop

Power Hearing in Buffalo

To the Editor of The Age-Herald:
The Misrepresentation of the hearing
before the foreign affairs committee al
the Buffalo Country club as published IN
the press require correction. The ap-
pointment for the hearing was made by
Chairman Cline with M. Arnson. vice
president; George c. Hillman, secretary
and Frank G. Perkins, as consulting engi-
neer for the HYDRO Electric association
representing 20 business mems associa-
tons in western New York, who are OPP
posed to the granting of the additional
400 cubic feet of water to the Niagara
power companies. The association asks
that the Cline bill be amended so that
the state of New York can install
power plant on the state reservation and
inequalities at cost the same as is being
done by the Canadian province OF On
tario. 1t was desired to advocate at that
hearing that the following amendment to
the cline bill be urged for passage, the
clause reading:
Permission is hereby granted to the
state of New York or any political al
vision thereof, to use 4400 cubic feet OF
water per second to be taken above the
falls of Niagara provided the state OF
New York or some political division
thereof under authority of the state,
agrees to develop the same for the bene-
fit of the people.
The foreign affairs committee were
urged to give from one to three hours to
this side of the question for the benefit
of the people inasmuch as they had spent
the full two or three days with the cham
bers of commerce. of Buffalo and Niagara
