that Christ is no mere man, and that

Watson, l confess that eve had any

stagger me. Mr.. Watson, you are a
man of more than common sense, and
God has given you a great talent; you
are a born orator. Just think, if you
were on the side of Christ, what good
you would do to your fellowmen. l
want you to consider the difference.
Suppose you and Ingersoll are right;
l am right also, for my believing. in
Christ will not hinder me from being
equal with you; but, on the other
hand, if you are wrong, where are you

WIDEN THE BOULEVARD BRIDGES

With accidents of a more or less
serious nature continually happening,
eliminating during the night of last
Thursday in two accidents that took
a toll of five lives, the widening of the
bridges on the Boulevard between
P%leasantville and Atlantic City, brings
forcibly to the attention of the gov
erning body of the County the neces-
sity for an immediate remedy of con-
ditions that make these horrors so
possible. With bridges the width of
the Boulevard, Atlantic County could
boast the best five-mile strip of road
in the State and possibly in the coun-
try. The present bridges are ex-
tremely dangerous, especially when on
occasions the lights are not burning,
thus preventing the motorist from
seeing the bridge until he is upon it.
Let the new Board start the New Year
with a new resolution for new bridges,
and we believe the taxpayers will ap-
plaud their action.

Making Columbia university into a
military camp is only carrying to the
extreme the process of conversion that
has been going on at most of the larg-
err universities, says New York Sun.
1t is clearly a wartime necessity, a
wise adaptation of capacity Of supply
to demand in perfecting man power for
the prime need. The change began,
voluntarily, long before the govern
ment had learned that the war was
not 5000 miles away. Three years
ago Yale had almost become a mill
tary camp and training school. Har-
ward, Princeton and others were not
far behind.
