one. A large offering OF over $4,000
was given to foreign missions Satur-
day. Over n thousand dollars of this
was the Offering of the Sabbath
school. over 90 converts were bap-
tized in Lake Iiawatha Sunday af-
ternoon by Pastors J. II. Behrens and
C. +. Ulrich, and a number of others
will receive baptism as soon as they
return home.
Over $4,000 worth of Bibles and
other religious literature were sold at
the book tent during the meetings.
The services of the closing days
Of the camp were all very impressive.
Saturday forenoon the sermon was
given by Frof. G. s. Longacre, at the
close of which practically the whole
camp joined in special consecra-
'tion service. The afternoon sermon
was by Pastor r. NJ. Wilcox of Wash
ington, editor of the Review and Her
aid, and in the evening Prof. f.. c.
Waller of Pisgah industrial school of
North Carolina, gave a very inter-
esting stereopticon lecture on the
work of the rural Industrial schools
being conducted in the south by Adj
yentsts, which have received a very
hearty endorsement by the United
States government.
The campers seemed unanimous in
expressing their appreciation of the
efficient manner in which the camp
had been conducted, and the courtesy
and goodwill of the people of Mt.
Vernon. The camp meeting is quite
an event to them and they look for
ward 10 II from year to year with de-
lighted anticipation.

when men receive communities
tions claiming to come from our dead
friends they may be sure that they
are being deceived said Evangelist
X. s. Lindsay, OF Cleveland, Sunday
evening at the big Adventist camp.
D I'VE have positive authority from
Gods word to believe that it is utter
ly impossible for the dead to COM
municate in any way with us. The
Bible says that the dead know moth
ing of what is going on here on earth,
but that they are sleeping in their
graves unconscious of the terrible ca
lamities that are constantly coming
upon the living
Evangelist Lindsay made these
statements sn connection with his
sermon on "Spirtualism. Is IL from
God or Demons?" He read a number
OF texts in which the Bible speaks of
evil spirits or evil angels who do
many times communicate with men.
They may be able TO even initiate the
tone of voice and appearance of our
dead friends, and even tell of our
personal affairs, but, the speaker
stated. the Bible positively forbds
our listening in any way to such com
munications, because they come from
the great enemy of righteousness and
are calculated only to deceive us.
Nearly all the campers left the
grounds early Monday morning, ex-
cept the workers who are engaged in
taking down the tents and clearing
the grounds. President Hickman
stated Sunday evening that the camp
had proved to he a very successful

TRUE ECONOMY IN ROAD
BUILDING

In his office, near the top of the
WoOlworth Building, New York, Mr..
Clifford Richardson, for many years
the Federal Asphalt expert of the Dis
trict of Columbia and probably the
greatest living authority on Asphalt
Pavements, threw added light on the
question of good roads construction
/ today
Mr.. Richardson has for several
years made special study and in
vestigation of roads both in this coun-
: try and in Europe, and has reserved
any comment on the subject until he
felt that all his statements could be
morne out by actual facts and his
opinions substantiated by experience.
1.-The ideal road" said Mr.. Richard
son, "is not obtained by the use of
any one material alone, but is the
combination of the best known road
building materials, devoting each to
the purpose for which it is intended
by nature"
"In other words the base of Part
land Cement Concrete of whatever
thickness traffic demands, and the
top of Native, Lake Asphalt and fine
mineral matter, known as Asphaltic
Concrete or Sheet Asphalt"
"It is easily appreciated that such
a road is eminently fitted to carry all
types of traffic and it the true econo-
mic solution of the road problem.
''The top is -dustless, resilient and
durable, providing not only an easy
riding highway, but protecting the
Portland Cement Concrete base from
the damaging effects of frost, wea-
ther and traffic, the first two causing
the heaving and cracking so usual in
roads built entirely of concrete. The
Portland Cement Concrete base forms
a firm an unyielding support for the
resilient 'easy-riding' top and form
ing bridge over the soft earth of the
sub-grade, prohibits pot holes and de-
pressions from appearing on the road
surface and thus the two materials,
Asphaltic Concrete and Portland Ce-
ment Concrete form the perfectly bal
anced road"
'This method of construction has
been used extensively all over the
United States and has provided many
miles of durable roads, some twenty
years old and still in perfect condi-
ion."
"This same principle is embodied in
Riverside Drive below 18th Street,
New York, probably the heaviest trav-
eled Park Drive in this country"
."rhe good roads program under
way throughout the United States is
gaining headway with gratifying ra-
pidity, after a rather delayed start.
Good roads are one Of the great i
est economic factors in, accelerating |
The Grenada sentinel. [volume] (Grenada, Miss.) 1868-1955, 1919-08-29

prosperity and reducing the high cost
OF living, but, in the excess enthusi-
asm of the moment, some highway of
ficials are prone to build roads that
look good on paper and issue specifi-
cations hurriedly in order to get roads
built--roads are a necessity, but they
must be good roads of proven durabil-
ity, else the public funds will be all
wasted"
Experiments with new road types
should be carried on, if we are to ad-
vance at all, but in a small way. 1t is
rot necessary to build even one mile
of highway to tell how it will act un-
der traffic"

No editor Of community newspa-
per of the sort here described need de.
t;plore his position There may be big
ger places in the world, but there is
none better. none fuller of the solit
content that comes from good work
well done. He may have to deal with
some small things, but who doesn't?
And what are the small things but the
warp and woof of the big? The lnan
or woman who does the smaller things
is busy and always with the greater.
America is precisely what it's cOmmun
ity are, and the newspaper that is
making public opinion in one COM
munity is as truly making the charac-
ter of-America as the greatest news
paper in New York-and it may be
doing a far better job. Perhaps the
community newspaper worker would
not fit in a larger place. Certainly he
would not be independent, so neces-
sary to those about him and threfore
so content.
Value of Neiehborliness
And that brings me to the thought
of neighborliness, the quality that the
editor. the reporters and the CORES
pondents of every community newspa-
per do so much to foster. You may go
to the ends of the earth and you will
find nothing finer than that. 1t is a
garden in which smiles and hand
shakes and applause and sympathy
and helpfulness grow like flowers. 1t
NAV not extend very far in any dl-
rection, but there is al real JOY In be-
ing in it and of ia joy that one ne
yer finds in being an unknown cog
in a big machine in big city. Every
body who is contributing to this neigh
borliness and enjoying its fragrance
has slice of the best thing IN me-
and ought to be careful how he bart.
ers it away, trading "sight unseen"
for something that promises just mo-
nev. And now to answer the question
involved in the subject assigned me,
let me say that the value of coun-
trv newspaper, conducted as 1T is now
in MANY places will ultimately be con-
Quoted everywhere, is very real and
very great. To the community, the
value is that of center OF lntorma-
ton and inspiration, a forum Tor the
of all questions affecting
the public welfare.

and moral growth through service.
Not servility, but service, paid for at
a figure representing its cost and
fair profit, with good will thrown In
for good measure. Honest service any
where yields the best dividends tnat
are to be had. This is particularly
true of the newspaper, whose work is
observed and rated by many the edi-
tor does not know. 1t yields for him
profits in dollars and cents, and also
hat often intangible thing, good VIII
which every newspaper counts among
It's assets and which is often the

LODGE AND HIS CONSTITUENTS.


The attitude Of the Republicans Of
Massachusetts, in their state convention
at Boston on Saturday is decided di-
vergence from the known position of the
senior Massachusetts senator, Henry
Cabot Lodge, even if it could not be CON
sidered sharp Reputation of the sen
ator himself. Briefly stated, the Massa-
chusetts Republicans are on record as
favoring a prompt ratification Of the
treaty of peace without amendments but
with possible reservations Lodge is on
record as favorng amendments to the
present treaty, to say nothing of reserva-
tions In committee and on the floor of
the Senate, Lodge has been opposed to
the draft of the treaty with its league Of
nations covenant He has not perhaps
been openly in league with the Borah-
johnson combination but he has worked
with that combination in an effort TO de-
feat the treaty in its present form. 1t
must, therefore, have been an eye opener
for the leader of the anti-treaty party in
the Senate to come home and find his
party supporters in his own state vir.
tually repudiating his action and, i'm
pliedly, giving instructions to Lodge
what to follow as his course from this
time forth, Whether Lodge follows out
those instructions or not is left to be
seen; but the Indication is more or less
clear that Lodge and his party in Massa-
chusetts are more or less out of touch
with each other in the matter Of this
treaty Other senators who have been
following the same course in the Senate
might see in the occurrence some hint OF
the desire of their own constituents
