THE CASE OF NOAH

D.. Lehman, in an address IN
Philadelphia this week, remarked
t;at enc Of Noah's first acts, after
be had found dry spot near Ara
rat. was to plant vineyard; and
later to get himself drunk with the
product. At this juncture the Rev.
DR.. Homer W. Tope, district super
gintendent of the Anti-Sa.oon League
i,rcsh es#forward to explain things.
"There are plenty of vineyards,
saws he, 'sbut their existence gives
no che the right to get drunk. It
might have been all right for Rob
inson Crusce to plant a vineyard
and drink wine. made from the
grapes it produced but Crusoe was
living alone. The moment he found
another human being on the island
he would be forced morally to con-.
yider the effect his drunkenness
would have on his fellow-creature
or creatures"
! A paper, of the Quaker City in
commenting on the above says,
blessed is our generation in that
we have with us. so learned an in
terpreter Of the law as DIR. Tope.
There are many things in the Bible
which we did not wholly understand
before This vineyard planting of
/ Noah's used to bother us, for if the
vine is in itself wicked institution
We could not. understand why the
T.rrI, in His intimate talk with
Noah, shortly before this lamenta-
biz first adventures with the grape,
hid not commanded him to shun It.
There's no harm in being a home

JoNEs's POINT LIGHTHOUSE

Eight years ago, or after Baptiz-
ing Cove had been reclaimed, the
Treasury Department, it was stated,
intended : to abolish Jones's Point
lighthouse, at the extreme south
western point of the present city OF
Alexandra. 1t was suggested that
the new formation of land made
light at that place unnecessary.
After the Virginia Shipbuildng Cor
poration erected it's huge liant upon
1.-THE site of the old cove, the utility
of the light was still farther mini
mixed.
When the lighthouse was erected,
white light was displayed. A few
years ago this was changed to red;
now disappearing light is flashed
throughout the night. This change
from stationary to a disappearing
light seems to indicate that the gov
eminent is not seriously considering
the removal Of the light
The lighthouse has been an Alex
andria landmark during the past
sixty-one years. It was erected in
1858, at which time Illuminating OF!
was used. Later the gas mains
were extended to Jones's Point at the
request of the government. The
US of gas, however, was abandoned
years ago, and oil again utilized,
