easily reached by either automobile or
train. 1t is the largest Of the central
New Mexican Indian villages, the CEN
ter of rich agricultural country. The
people are progressive, successful
farmers, but have mingled freely with
their Mexican neighbors to the detri-
ment of the picturesqueness Of their
village. Isleta was one of the most i'm
portant Of the early missions. In 1923
there was already built at Isleta a
handsome church and convent, minis
tered to by resident priest.
| When the country was reconquered
| by the Spanish after the rebellion, it
was found that all which could be
burned of the old church had been de-
stroyed and the massive walls used for
a corral for goats. The church was re-
built in 1893 and since that time has
been in constant use. 1t is q by no

used as home for the priest. any

City of the Sky.
Acoma, the famous "City of the
Sky" the most wonderful town in the
United States, is built upon the top of
q wind-swept island of rock, rising pre-
cipitously $50 feet above the surround
ing sandy plain. Its location gave it
wonderful defense agaipst the savage
tribes that In pre-Spanish times preycd
upon the peaceful village Indians. I'm
til very recently its top was reached
only by one trail so steep that at places
it consisted merely of hand and foot
holes in the face of the cliff, where
misstep or a stone rolled from above
would hurl q foe to almost certain de-
structiOn.
Here the inhabitants made a stout
resistance to the Spanish, but were
conquered, and the great church, in
many ways the most wonderful build
ing in America, was built in 1929. 1t
was partially destroyed in 1880, and
rebuilt in 1893 The church is of great
proportion, $50 feet long, 40 feet high
and very massive. Not only was every
particle of adobe used for the walls
carried up the ladder-like trail, for
there is absolutely no soil on the rock
OF Acoma, but the great timbers for the
roof beams were brought from the 90
mile-distant mountains by men alone,
for the horse had not been introduced
to New Mexico at that time. Nor is
this all, for adjoining the church is a
considerable convent, and in front of
the church the burying ground, held by
Il retaining wall along the cliffs rim
at places 10 feet high, all made ground,
carried up that ha zardous trail on the
backs of men. Was ever such monu-
ment raised to the zeal of the converts
to q new faith?

GIANT GUN INGOT IS CAST
Bethlehem Steel Works Pours $4,000
Pounds of Metal Into One
Great Mold.

AT the Bethlehem steel plant the
largest octagonal corrugated ingot
mold ever cast in the United States,
and perhaps in the world, was made
for the first Is and 16-inch guns, a
South Bethlehem correspondent of
the Philadelphia Record writes. The
dimensions of the mold are Is feet and
inches in height, with mean diam
eter of 911a inches. At the thinnest
section the thickness Of the metal is
Is inches, while the heaviest section
is 20A inches.
Owing to the necessity Of pouring
this casting very quickly, 1t was cast
in the steel foundry instead Of the
iron foundry. 1t took just four weeks
to make the casting.
Standard Bessemer steel iron melt
ed in three large open-hearth furnaces
was suspended IN ladies over the mold
at one time. A continuous runner from
these ladies was made, so that the iron
was thoroughly mixed before entering
the mold. Three hundred and forty
thousand pounds Of metal was charg-
ed in these furnaces and after the
mold had been filled, 10000 more
pounds Of iron was brought from the
iron foundry, three quarters of mile
away, to pour into the sinkhead to
feed up the shrinkage. This added
metal was filled in at the rate Of
about q ton a time for three hours,
when the shrinkage stopped, the metal,
however, being liquid five hours after
the mold was poured.
Before this mold can be used large
steel bands y inches wide and 8
inches thick must be shrunk around
each end Of the casting. This large
ingot mold will be left covered in
sand for some time, after which the
100-ton cranes will be necessary to
pick it up and take 1t to the open
hearth department.

tween them and God was not removed.
1t was fortunate for them that they
had some religious leaders that knew
things spiritual, and who were faithful
in telling the people that they were
not doing what was pleasing to God
at all.
The people seemed to be wondering
why God seemed to pay no attention
to their religious activities; then the
lniquities have separated between you
and your God, and your sins have hid
his face from you" These were very
plain words. The prophet did not say
that what thay were doing was unwise
tactics, was excusable laundering, or
was indiscretion, but that what was
preventing the blessing of God was
their sin.
Charge of WorIdIiness.
If the application of these words
were made to the church today, which
would be very proper the charge
would not be wise if it were made in
the form Of details or the naming Of
peccadillos Of improper conduct, but
if the church were charged with world
illness, with betrayal of pure doctrine,
with robbery as far as Withholding Of
ferings to God are concerned, then
the charge would attract attention.
The church Of God today in It's sinful
condition stands as a buffer between
God and the unSaypd world A great
load Of guilt is on 1t today on this par
ticular account. It Is q misrepresen-
tation of what Christ and his religion
are. The world does not today read
Christ properly because it reads the
perverted message of Christ that the
church presents in its life.
But the shortcomings of the church
will not redeem any unsaved man, nor
be an excuse for not getting right with
God. Here every tub must stand on
it's own bottom. What is wrong with
the unsaved man? Simply that he is
out Of right relationship with God !;
there is lack of adjustment. A man
can fence all he pleases, and try to
throw the blame on God, but ultimate
ly the trouble is with himself. His
sins have separated between him and
God, and these must be got out of
the way. God must be faithful to
through his ministers, "Your sins
have hid his face from you that he
will not hear"

Gods Part and Mans.

The charging of sin is Gods part !;
the confeSsing of sin is mans part.
Fortunately, the people to whom the
we read that they made detailed con.
fession. Confession Is in q way
the same thing as repentance, and
some men have shown themselves to
be strong in repentance, indeed, there
Is no explanation of their standing be-
fore God, except conceding that they
knew how to repent. We have David
and Peter as examples. Such confess
sion is coming out candidly and ac-
cepting the Righteousness of the charge
of God. God has passed judgment, his
charge is made and man must, like one
Of ancient times. acknowledge the
charge in order that God may be JUS
titled when he speaks and be clear
when he judges. We might note in
this part of the confession that the in
dividual says "his sins are multiplied
before him"-that is, they are in an
exaggerated form, really what they
are, as compared with what he has
heretofore considered them to be. He
comedies also. that his sins belong to
himself. They are, as he expresses
it, with him. He acknowledged that
while he was pleading extenuation of
his guilt, that he knew that he had
sinned all the time.
The need of the day in which we
find ourselves is confession, national
confession, church confession, individ-
ual confession. Some nations today
are on their knees. They are on their
way to true blessing because they are
going to get right with God. The Or
ganized church is hardly on its feet
yet, and it is slipping further and fur
Their away from the truth of God, and
not until it gets to its knees and con-
fesses its attachment to the world, its
departure from truth, its failure to
understand its true mission, will it
have Gods favor.

The Blessing.

The inevitable follows confession Of
sin namely, blessing. In the text we
are told that the Redeemer shall come
to Zion. The trouble with the world
and with the church and the indiyid-
ual is, that the Redeemer is not pres
ent. This coming of the Redeemer
may fairly be considered in the first
place as spiritual coming. The ideal
situation is expressed by the term I'm
manuel, which means God with u.s."
but God cannot be with us If we hold
to our sins and do not confess and for
sake them. God remains away from
nations and churches and individuals
as far as his blessings are concerned,
who do not confess their sins and re-
turn to him.

PROTECT RED CROSS
EMBLEM

The small button with a red
cross in a field of white is seen
everywhere. All Americans
ought to revere it with equal re-
gard to that for the flag. 1t
should carry a sentiment of uni
versal brotherhood, for by a
strange providence that organ
ization founded by Christian
women and based upon the
teaching of Christ has been
adopted by all great nations re-
gardless of their faith in the
Christian religion.
In the worldwide acceptance
of the Red Cross it has become
necessary to protect the emblem
and name from private uses.
Harvey D. Gibson, general
manager of the Red Cross, has
issued the following INSTRUCTION
to Chapters" regarding the use
of the name or emblem of the
Red Cross for commercial pur-
poses:
Attention has been called
from time to time to the provis-
ions of the Act approved June
%, 1910, which amended the
Congressional charter Of the Red
Cross, dated January 5, 1905,
and which amendment provides:
1t shall be unlawful for any
person, corporation, or associa-
ton. other than The American
National Red Cross and its duly
authorized employees and agents
and the army and navy sanitary
and hospital authorities of the
United States for the purpose of
trade or as an advertisement to
induce the sale of any article
whatsoever or for any business
or charitable purpose to use
within the territory of the Unit
ed States of America and its eX-
terror possessions the emblem OF
the Greek Red Cross on a white
ground, or any sign Of insignia
made or colored in imitation
thereof, Or of the words "Red
Cross" or any combination Of
these words.
The only exception contained
in the statute is that if a firm or
corporation has actually used the
emblem for any lawful purpose
prior to January 5, 1905, the
right to so use it for the same
class Of goods shall be continued,
All pastors and church lead
ers should familiarize them
selves with these legal restric-
tions and call the attention of
their people to the same.
