BOND ISSUE CARRIED

DY the overwhelming majority OF
u s,6O2 votes against 537 votes the
tax payers Of Middletown decided 1t
the Bond Issue election on Monday to
improve Broad and East Main streets,
at cost of about $4,000. The large
vote cast for the Bond Issue is in stfik-
ing contrast to the one Of 8 years aCo
when our tax payers defeated Iy a
large majority similar proposition to
build improved streets.
It is now up to the Town Commis-
sioners to have the Streets properly
surveyed, get plans and specifications
and secure a good contractor at the
earliest possible da e. thus assuring the
completion Of the work before the
winter months.

EVANSVILLE.

Preparations are gong forward for
the Welcome Home day celebration for
the soldiers Oct 9th. 1t has been a
little difficult to learn just what names
belong in the Third district, from the
list of names of boys who went into the
service from this county, but it is be-
lieved that the proper list has been Sc
cured and personal invitations will be
issued to each one. If, however, any
ex-service man, either enlisted or draft
ed, from this district, does not receive
an invitation other than the one ap-
pearing in the advertisement in The
Republican, he will know that the
omission was inadvertent and he will
confer favor by bringing the matter
to the attention of the committee and
also by appearing at the place designat-
ed to share in the festivities of Oct. 9th.
Already nice sum of money has been
donated to help pay for the music,
dinner and other expenses incident to
the celebration. and no expense will be
spared to make it success. This is to

could be no better condition or time for
the doing than the time chosen when
coming to the Jordan He was baptised
and so identified Himself with the push
upward giving it the added impetus of
His own power that is still felt thruout
the world in the constantly expanding
influence set in motion so long ago.
The NEW METHOD.
Johns was a mass movement that
progressed by weight of numbers.
Jesus set up contagion of inner life.
He would select few and pour into
these His own passion by teaching and
long contact so that the treatment was
intensive where it had been extensive.
Professor Palmer of Harvard carried
problem to Phillips Brooks for solution
but came away without asking it.
"But | did not care, he said. II had
found out that what | needed was not
the solution of special problem but
contagion of triumphant spirit. " That
was precisely what Jesus desired to i'm
part to choice souls. First among those
about John to become the subject of
this care were Andrew and John. The
Baptiser had denied to the Jerusalem
committee being the Christ "On the
morrow" Jesus returned from the
temptation experiences and mingling
with the crowd was proclaimed as the
Lamb of God, which taketh away the
sin of the world ION the morrow"
after this His persanal word did what
His public proclamation had not; it en-
listed two individuals as seekers of
closer fellowship with Jesus. Pressing
after Him as He walked He opened the
conversation that led to all their radi-
ant future. And it is the method still
most effective in making converts for
the Christ. They never forgot that
marked hour for half century later
John knew day and time when the
meeting occurred and said Ten, in the
forenoon. Fired by the contact into
DdS5lOUhLS Uellcl Ill lklG MAI as the
Messiah they hurried away each to tell
another of the find but Andrew first
succeeded into getting his brother into
the presence of Jesus so that again the
individual winning of others was fol-
lowed as plan. 1t may be that the
Baptizer used a suggestion from his
Master IN inaugurating this means of
enlargement for 1t would be strange
indeed if they had no word together
ether than that of the baptism.
THE MEN 1T TOUCHED.
Andrew was boy lover whose open
frankness won their affection and con-
fidential speech. Naturally he is never
found alone but always in the act of in
Producing some one else to Jesus. John
was the boy of the apostolic group and
may have been In the late teens. A
sturdy fisherman on the GaliIean Lake
with temper that exploded at times
he must have frequently appeared with
The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1919-10-02

black eye altho it is likely that the
other party had two after the encount-
er. Andrew was probably the proposer
of the visit with Jesus but we have no
record of the method of the Master.
His strength won the loyalty of youth
without any effort as it always does
when youth comes face to free with
youths Lord.
THE NEW RECRUIT.
1t is scarcely possible that Andrew
could have spent the day in converse
with Jesus without telling him of the
brother so greatly admired by Him and
it is likely that they talked over the
names given in this first chapter as
men that would delight in the submits
sion of themselves to the teaching of
Jesus. He may have sent them after
these particular ones and presently An
drew and Simon appear Simon was
married tho apparently childless, the
partner in a paying business and the
owner of home. Jesus had full know
edge of his character could he have
gained it thru Andrew?) and addressed
him by name and touched the deepest
desire of his heart in the promise that
instead of vacilation there should be
stability of character; instead of cow
ardice. courage. How deeply he was
stirred is seen by the fact that he had
nothing to say for his ready tongue
was for once stilled. This was the be-
ginning of the transformation of these
two men who are our particular study
for the quarter and serve to suggest
the possible change to be wrought IN
any man who will company with Christ
thru the years.

AT THE CROSS ROADS OF THE WORLD.
Palestine lies at the worlds cross
roads. Asia, Africa and Europe find
here their meeting place and Hindoo
and Persian. Arab and Egyptian, Greek.
Scythian and Latin elbowed each other
upon its great roads that linked the
ends of the earth. He who held it con-
trolled the traffic of the commercial
world so that It's Importance was even
greater then than now. when the sea
has become the highway for a larger
earth girting greater ocean, and three
thought continents met there in that
old day of our lessons also for the Ro-
man political ideas mingled with the
Greeks culture while both jostled the
religious passion of the Hebrew. These
mixed but would not merge, shake them
as one would. Roman law might con-
troll the Jewish state by force and the
new learning might build its stadium
for its Greek games but no spiritual
amalgam was ever made of these d.
verse elements; the Hebrew refused TO
unite. Into this geographic, linguistic,
commercial. political, racial and re-
igious press that struggled and fought
for the right of way came the voice of
John calling sudden halt and proclaim
ing the end of all things to be at hand
and the setting up of new order under
the Messiah of the Hebrew. Small
wonder that he gained hearing. All
wished change and each read into his
word something OF his own desire.
Crowds pressed to the Jordan, listened
to his passionate appeal that echoed in
the conscience made sensitive by the
long impact of religious ideas, and
pressed into the stream to receive the
baptism that proclaimed their readiness
to welcome the new order, forsaklng
their old practices which had grown to
be sins. 1t was the group that faced
toward the uplands of higher con-
ception of Ii fe that gathered about him
eager for the coming of the one who
should be its leader so that it was in
reality revival of rphUinn that ,xo,
the essence of the movement under
John. God became real and the de-
mands for new ethical life among
soldiers, publicans and the rest follow
ed as it's teaching. With this growing
company the Galileans were in full
sympathy and many In open fellowship.

with its still higher conception there

be an all-dav celebration in honor of our

for families from the surrounding COM
munity to bring baskets or hampers

more satisfactory than returning home
