This might seem to some
very unreasonable question, but
we answer it is not it certainly Is
q very important question: thai
! is why did God for sake His Son
in the hour Of deathp We answer
He did not for.sake him. But the
work that Christ came to do He
had to finish. The first thing
that we should understand is,
the difference there is in .the
word Jesus, and the word
Christ, The word Jesus has
direct reference to the fleshy
part Of Christ. The Word Christ
has reference to the Spiritual
part Of Christ And when the
spirit was leaving the body to go
! to preach to the spirits in the
prison house of the dead. AndiS
was, when the spirit left the
body that the flesh. the body
Jesus, cried out after the spirit,

) why hast thou forsaken me"
Christ the spirit could not take
t the body With him down to
. preach to the spirits in prison.
and this was part OF Christ's
0 mission. And it was for this
t reason that Peter said.
f For Christ also hath once
suffered for sins, the just for the
) unjust, thai he might bring us

e flesh, but quickencd by the
Il Spirit:

BURNING TRANSFORMERS
CAUSE $1,000 FIRE LOSS.

Fire OF an unknown origin Tuesday
night, which destroyed the big trans
formers of the Paris Gas & Electric
Co.. near the entrance to the old Paris
Fair Grounds, caused a property loss
of $1,000 to the company.
An alarm was sent in from Box "a,
the fire department responding imme-
diately. Owing to the nearest fire plug
being long distance away. the depart
nent could not render much service
with the water pressure, but used their
chemical extinguisher. The wooden
base and surroundings Of the trans
formers were burned away. and the
were rendered useless seriously in
terfering with the local light system.
The Paris plant was put in operation,
relieving the situation and supplying
customers with light and power. The
fire department made a second trip to
the scene after recharging the big
chemical tank and put out the flames
which had broken out afresh.
The damage to the transformers
which take the high power current
from the sub-station near Kenney and
transmit it TO the city lines, was re-
paired by force of men under Mana

MAY LOSE COMMISSION
IF NOT CAREFUL

In future county officers who do not
perform the duties imposed on them in
the matter of collecting fines and for
FIXTURES due the State will not receive
their commissions on the amounts at
the expense of the State, but the ex-
penses OF collection will be taken out
Of the commissions.
In many instances the Common
wealth's Attorney receives so per cent
OF fines and forfeitures; the County
Attorney, %; the clerk, 10, and the
jury fund 3, leaving only II per cent.
for the State. Inspector and Examip
er Nat r. Sewell reported to State
Auditor Robert l.. Greene that some
times the IL per cent. does not cover
the expenses of his examinations.
Auditor Greene laid the situation be.
fore Attorney General NJ. NJ. Logan,
who said the law allowing them the
commission imposes certain duties
upon them, and that when they do not
perform these duties, and the collec-
tons are made by the Inspector and
Examiner, the expenses Of the examiu-
alton and collection should be deducted
from their commission; but recon-
mended that the officers be notified
and that the rule apply to cases arising
after the notices are given.

MUTT G. JEFF'S WEDDING.

In order to call attention to the ad-
vent of the latest comedy on the ia,
nous cartoons, Mutt and jeff, and
Jeff's Wedding, which is underlined as
the next attraction at the Grand Opera
House next Saturday, April IA, the
management has inaugurated a unique
contest. All patrons will be invited
to enter. The idea is to see how many
phrases and sentences can be made Of
the appended billing: Mutt and Jeff's
Wedding Is The Merriest Show on
The Stage" These to be formed into
q criticism of the production.
After close inspection you will OBJ
serve that the billing consists of eleven
words and forty six letters BY using
the letters of each word and twisting
them in any number of angles and
shapes many sentences and phrases
will result, The rules Of the contest
are that the criticisms must be com.
plimentary and that no two be alike.
AS an incentive the management
will give TO the winner or winners
submitting the best criticism two
seats for any performance OF the show
during its stay in town. One of the
rules OF the contest is that the COM
Ietitors must make their contributions
very brief, being limited to one hundred
words. For further iunformation
