BOB JONES CONDEMNS FALSE
RELIGIONS THURSDAY
MORNING

At the morning meeting on Thurs
day Bob Jones condemned Russelism
and Christian Science, arguing by
logic and passages Of scripture that
they were not only unsafe but found
ed on unsound principles
Russellites believe that there is no
hell and they deny the divinity of Je-
suS. They claim that a God who
was great. enough to create the whole
wonderful universe is too great to let
men go to hell for sins which, the
Russelites claim, He could have them
from committing
The Christian Scientists believe that
God made man perfect and that as
man is in Gods image, he can suffer
no physical i'll and that the cure for
all diseases of the flesh is in Faith and
in the Divine Power.
As Bob Jones' said once before. no
man need so to hell God wants ev-
cry man saved from He'll and offers
them every opportunity for salvation
through Christ He sent his only
begotten son to die on the cross to
save men from hell. But if a man re-

WHATEVER YOUR TROUBLE
DO NOT TURN FROM CHRIST

On Thursday evening the rain and
cold forced the congregation to go to
the Baptist church where they COM
fortably filled the house. After few
minutes talk to his hearers for more
personal work and personal influence
for Christ, he asked all Of the congre-
gatien who could to stand up and re-,
turn thanks to God for the blessings
he had heaped on their heads.
Nearly fifty people stood up, one by
one, and in their own manner of ex-
preston thanked God for the manifold
gifts by His grace. Some spoke only
two or three words. Several offered
beautiful little one minute sermons.
There in that one audience, the small
est that has heard Bob Jones in Fitz-
gerald, there was represented enough
good done to pay for a dozen revival
meetings.
All men have ! religious side to
their lives, it is in mans nature to
worship something. Then they must
worship either the God of Christ, or
false god or idol. The object of re-
vivals, and all other religious activi-
ties is not to make man accept a re-
lision but to discard his false religion
for the Right One.

Damages Asked
For Loss OF Eye
SUIT BROUGHT IN DISTRICT COURT
Nelson & KeSO Are Defendants In Action For
Damages For Personal Injuries

p. A. Nelson and Charles Kel-
so, logging contractors doing
business under the firm name of
Nelson & KelsO, are made defend
ants in an action for damages for
personal injuries in which the
plaintin is Charles Touscang.
The complaint in the case was
filed Saturday by Norris g. Yates
of this city with whom are as
sociated Robertson & Miller of
Spokane.
The accident out of which the
action grew occurred last spring
when Nelson & Kelso were en-
gagged in getting their logs into
Homestead Greek to drive them
out. According to the complaint
the logs were frozen in and it
was necessary to use dynamite
in breaking out the rOllways and
getting the logs into the creek.
The plaintif alleges that, al
though he had no previous eX-
perience the defendants set him
to using the dynamite in blow
ing out the logs and did so with
out giving him any information
as to the danger Of the occupa-
ton.
He further alleges that he was
furnished with a piece of fuse
which had been saturated with oil
with which to set off the powder
and that he, not knowing that
fact, or the danger, used it. He
alleges that the flame ran up the
fuse and reached the powder in
one-hfth of the time it usually
did and the powder exploded be-
fore he had time to get away to
safe place. A piece Of the
debris caused by the explosion
struck him in the left eye, des-
trOying the sight.
The complaint states he was
obliged to pay $500 for medical
treatment and S81.25 for hospi-
tai fees. He asks for $40, 100000
damages.

OVERSEERS ARE GIVEN INSTRUCTIONS
The Purchase Of Traction Steam Shovel For
Road Building Is Considered

four horse team will be allowed
extra pay Eight hours of ac-
tual work was fixed as a day but
if the overseer and his crew de-
sire they may work ten hours
and receive the additional pay.
The oVerseers were notified they
could not employ any of their
relatives.
The question of the county
purchasing a traction steam
shovel for use on the roads was
discussed and most of the over
seers were of the opinion that it
would be a great saving for the
county to purchase one. Some
went so far as to state that side
hill roads could be made at one
half the cost with a steam shovel.
The commissioners stated they
had investigated the matter and
were of the opinion that it would
| he a great saving for the county
to own a steam shovel but the
! difficulty was in the initial cost.
A new steam shovel costs over
$1,000 and the county has not
this amount Of money to spare.
Some OF The over seers suggested
THAT the cOmuiss siOners purchase
the shovel, arranging to pay part
this year ana part next, taking
the money out of the road fund,
each district standing its share.
The commissioners are cOnsid-
ering the matter and may con-
clude to adopte this plan
The question of tools was
brought up and the overseers
were instructed to make a list OF
what is needed. In the course
OF the discussion it came out thai
at times the former OVerseers
had not turned the tools over tC
their successors, forcing th'
county to purchase new tools.
was decided to charge the diff
, ferent overseers with the tool
in their districts and hold then
responsible for them.
