Cathedral Plaza Popular.
The Cathedral plaza was the chief
park of the city. At one side was
the great cathedral, with its spires
shingled with big slabs Of opales-
cent, iridescent mother-of-pearl. At
one end was the palace of the arch
bishop, with the Offices of the Pam
anna lottery on the ground floor. At
the other end was the big building
of the canal administration. But be-
side these its circumference gave
ample room for numerous thirst-de-

them being the Grand Central ho-

sure to be the synosure of Panama

Indifference of Members.

| A~~~~AAS Se ~NA~S SA AASAAA1SAos
"All the ministers and church
workers are interested about the
church problem as it presents itself
today, namely: Indifference on the
part OF church members going to
church and the inability on the part
of pastors to attract the young peo-
pic to the so-called house of wor-
ship.
why rot begin right now at the
bottom and see if the trouble is not
with the ministers and the church,
reformers before them. They are
sincere and have accomplished much
in bringing the world to closer re-
lationship with God; inasmuch as
Righteousness has been their inten-
ton to teach AMI if they had only
continued in the teaching of right
edusness and showing to the world
the need of the Lord over this world
taking the form of flesh to die in
order that through His blood we
may be saved, instead of trying to
restore the church of God without
inspiration, in other words a
prophet or messenger sent from
God.
Petty Church Ordinances.
"They probably would not have
SO many divisions among them and
these little petty church ordinances
and different plans of salvation they
hand around for people to take tkeir
choice would not stand in the way
OF the different denominations con-

could be called the National Chris
tan association. instead of the
church which we haven't on the
earth now, unless God has sent
prophet to restore the church since
it fell away during the period of
time known in history as the dark
ages VA
Jesus told US there would be
falling away before He would come
to earth again. These educated
preachers, they know God always
did send a prophet-even in the
Jewish dispensation-to introduce
any change in the order of things.
He sent John the Baptist prophet
to prepare the way for our Lord,
with authority to baptize, but He is
not represented as ordaining any
one, because after me Jewish
prophets were taken from earth
there was no more such authority
given until Jesus ordained the
Twelve Apostles; and although He
gave them authority to baptize and
heal all manner of disease. they
could not lay on hands for ordina-
ton until after Jesus sent the Holy
Ghost, which opened the meaning of
all the scriptures to them and in
spired men with power to organize
churches.
He told them to preach repent
ance and remission of sins. But

ye in Jerusalem until you be en-
dowed with power from on high.

night; not cocktail nor highball

hospitality would have been beneath
