GEREVHAN AUSTRIA MAY J0IHV HUNGARY
JITNEY BUS NUISANCE.

Jitney busses are permitted to line up on Fairfield avenue until the radiator of one vehicle almost touches the tail light of the next The street upon the south side is thus shut off from the pavement and the whole arrangement con stitutes a, nuisance.
 The fire hydrants, which are supposed to be clear, are often cut off by two or three busses, all of which are placed without regard to the traffic rules.
 '"The jitney busses are on trial. They are useful in many ways, but they ought not to jeopardize their own existence by creating a nuis- ance to which nearly everybody is opposed" This was the sentiment expressed by one of the leading bus owners of the city, this morning.
 These vehicles, it was said, should be spaced not less than five feet apart. They should move along promptly and under no cir cumstances should g. fire hydrant be blocked.

There never was year in the history of this
Church when you could not find some beautiful
Christian characters in the diaconate That was
true in 1899 when I came into fellowship and
was ordained an Elder on Easter Lords Day of
that year.

Zion, so far as the Overseers were concerned
Some of them turned out to be mighty poor
sticks but that does not matter here nor there
1t makes no difference.
The Lord Jesus the Christ chose twelve apos-
ties and one of them became His betrayer
