Clad Like Their Parents

The children of Holland are dressed
in exactly the same manner as their
parents. In the matter Of their garb
there is very little variety in that
country and it is sometimes difficult
to determine the difference between
the children and adults.

rules. regulations and restrictions
we can't get very far these days.
We all want our city to be healthy
and attractive: we want Il to be a
pleasant place to live in. but unless
there are restrictions placing the
welfare Of the entire community be-
fore the desires OF the individual.
little can be accomplished. Resi-
DENTAL sections have got to be pro-
tected IL people are to be induced to
make permanent homes. No man
wants to invest several thousand
dollars in a house where he intends
to bring up a family only to ind
that within a year or two a garage,
a factory or some other objection
able feature Is going 4 be establish
cd next door or in the immediate
vicinity.
We pass through some cities and
admire the beautiful streets and the
lawns and trees that surround the
residences. But restrictions strictly
enforced make these things possible.
A building line Is established and no
property Is allowed to be located
nearer the sidewalk than that line.
A whole block may be ruined by the
erection OF a single apartment house
directly along the sidewalk when all
the other houses on the block are
private dwellings and erected TO
conform to a certain building line
ten or fifteen feet back from the
street. Personal liberty does not
hold there. The man with the apart
ment II he is to be allowed to build
an apartment in the midst OF strict
compelled to keep his property
.ly one-family houses at all, must be
back on a N 10 conform win the
others in justice to the other resi-
dents on that street.
1t all leads up to the desirabllity
of having a city plan with a coming
system so that a man will know
what he may expect in his imme-
diate neighborhood. Without a city
plan tho city is bound to grow In a
haphazard n with everyone
doing about as no pleases. Garage
and factories along side Of rest
dences. some houses out along the
sidewalk and others set back-no
system no regulations. 1t is per
sonal liberty" but It does not tend
toward a pleasant and attractive
city TO live in.

DOES TRUTH cHANeE7


What Is truth7 This is the ques-
ton which PLATE dung at Christ.
He asked the question with a
sheer. He was not after informa-
Christ answered PLATE and all
who might ask Pilates question by
saying: II am the truth"
Christ is 'the same yesterday, to-
day and forever" He 10 changeless
and eternal truth. There Is. there
fore, a sense in which truth does
not change.
Truth in it's essence Is unchang-
ing. But truth 10 more than es-
sence. 1t IL also relations.
Before you can predicate the
truth about anything, you must an
swer three questions. First. what
is IL in itself? Next, what IL IL in
its relation to other truths? And
lastly, what is II in relation to those
who perceive IT?
The FIRST is static, but the second
and third are constantly changing.
The truth rs to ones duty under a
monarchy is not the same as the
truth as to ones duty under q DEM
ocracy. The truth as to the condi-
ton OF those who have not accept
ed Christ because they have never
heard OF Him Is one thing. and OF
those who have heard and have not
accepted Is another. Truth is per-
ceived by finite intelligence, which
means that II is apprehended in sec
lions, in phases, in aspects. We see
only a part of It. AS experience
grows and vision enlarges. our con-
ception of truth changes, just as
ones view of landscape changes as
he climbs higher and sees o
widely.
The race should have a clearer
conception of God today than it
cause the race has climbed four
thousand years higher in its expert
ence of Him. II Is childish to say
that God has changed. He Is what
He was. II Is Just as foolish to say
the truth about God has not
changed.
IT have not changed my views an
iota for forty years" said n of
our professors in the seminary one
day to our class. That Is what some
people call orthodoxy. II Is dry rot
orthodoxy.
Why stop at forty years? Why
not stay where you were when you
wereN baby?
Truth declines to be held in the
grip of a dead hand. 1t is the most
emancipating thing in the world. II
moves because IL lives. Anything
that stops moving quits living.
Truth not only moves. but II Is the
powerhouse of progress. "Ye shall
know the truth. and the truth shall
make you free"

THE CARRIAGE PRoBLEM.

Complaint made about the city
dump in the sixth ward brings up
an old question that has bothered
every city administration since
dumps were first established. Natur-
ally. nobody wants the garbage OF
the city dumped In the neighborhood
of his home. Even under the best
regulations there Is bound to be a
nuisance. but Il 70 often happens
that regulations. no matter how
good or bad they may be, r not
strictly complied with.
The old problem of a consested
city again looms up In this matter.
There Ia hardly an isloated place left
within the borders OF the municipal
ity and every year sess what vacant
land there 10 becoming more and
o built up. To 80 outside the
city limits to dump garbage would
only arouse intense opposition on
the part OF Woodbridge township.
and they would be justified in OBJ
jecting. No town or township cares
10 be used as q dumping ground for
another place. no matter how isolat-
ed the spot selected for the dump
may be. It is a precedent that no
community desires to have establish
ed.
The only thing left. is an inein-
Grating plant. or towing the garbage
out to sea on scows. But either OF
these plans Is very expensive and
would be q burden on the taxpayers
that they ought not TO be asked TO
bear at this time.
A possible solution offers itself in
shs numerous abandoned clay pits
that are so numerous In and about
the city. These clay pits are not
only absolutely worthless in them
selves. but they make property all
about them practically valueless.
May OF these abandoned clay pits
are large and deep. To MI them in
and make the property worth ONE
thing after the clay has been re-
moved is a problem. The expense 10
an these great holes in the ordinary
way makes It prohibitive and so the
eye-sores remain year after year.
useless in themselves and a detrl-
mens TO all property within sight OF
them.
Would q not be possible TO utilize
some OF these abandoned clay pits TO
dump garbage ins Being in a hole
Il would be comparatively easy TO
keep the garbage covered and grad
gally the great holes would be nIled
SO that. IN the end. = top dressing Of
good soil could be laid and thus land
that now lies useless could be re-
claimed and made productive. wha,
