DAILY SERMON
By q Layman. ,

The Prosperity of fools -Prby. l :32.
 Prosperity is not always a sign of success wise man may profit by his prosperity while to profit it is his un doing Gods word has said that the fool has said i'll his heart, there k no God the wise man is the one who rec ognizes God even in his prosperity . the fool ignores God and seeks his own way of doing things.
 No man is safe who sets aside di- vine laws and order and seeks to es- tablish his own way; hence the man who does so is a fool and the increase of wealth only furnishes the means whereby he hastens to his own death
 The increase of wealth is q danger ous thing when uncontrolled; this k true in q nation, city or individual and the sin life offers no control. Sins motto is off with the brakes. let her go at full speed. throw on high gear and let her run. The wisdom that is from above calls men to halt and consider their ways and see is the road Is clear and take note of dangers ahead.
 Mans only plot in this life is Je- Sus Christ: the wise man accepts his offers. the foolish man says l will have nothing to do with Him; l will do as I please; the result is that their prosperity is the means of their de struction.
 The possession of wealth is no evi- denee of wisdom or greatness, even the rich man will play the fool, as many a one has done; we read of the rich fool of the Bible who rejected Gods teachings and lost out.

Trees Now Protected.

The roadside tree law, passed by the
Maryland Legislature in 1914 gives as
surance to every community which
spends money for identifying the
roads in its vicinity that trees set out
for such purpose will not be ruthless
ly destroyed by property owners or by
the public utilities maintaining over
head wire systems along the State
highways.
The roadside tree law places all
shade and ornamental trees along the
rights of way under the supervision OF
the State Forester and makes him re-
sponsible for their protection. Under
the operation of that law no one can
cut or even trim tree in the right of
way of public highways without per-
NIT from the State Forester. When
such permits are granted the trimming
must be done to the satisfaction of a
forest warden.

STATE
CAPITAL
Favorable Report Expected.

Annapolis
In commenting upon the appoint
ment Of committee, headed by Col.
Claude B. Sweeney, warden of the
Maryland Penitentiary, to investigate
the methods of the State Purchasing
Bureau, Albert H. Weir, State Pur-
chasing Agent, declared that the find
ings Of this committee would disclose
nothing and that he confidently an
ticipated favorable report.
THE committee will find the bureau
well organized and functioning in or
derby fashion," said Mr.. Weir. ut
will also find that the alleged def.
ciencies Of the bureau are, after all,
only the deficiencies of the State de-
partments and institutions that have
not properly co-opcrated with the cen
trail purchasing department"
Mr.. Weir denied that his decision
to resign his post was due in any
measure to criticism or strained re-
lations with the Governor When ]
accepted Governor Ritchie's appoint
ment on October / last year, l did
it as a personal favor and with the
intention of remaining only long
enough to assemble the necessary
personnel and to organize the bus
reau," declared Mr.. Wehr. Since
January I have been working to this
end and am now satisfied that the
bureau is ready to justify its exist.
ence."
"The investigating committee will
find that there have been only three
complaints lodged against the Bureau
of State departments. At any rate,
| have been advised of only three. It
will find also that much of the blame
placed at the doors of the Purchasing
Bureau should be applied to those
requisitioning supplies.
Every day we are asked to obtain
certain supplies, and when these are
not forthcoming Immediately we are
criticized. When our departments and
institutions requisition material as
soon as they see the existing supply
running low and tAeir order is placed
before it is imperative to have the
goods on the following day, we will be
able to scan the market and gain the
advantage of the best prices, terms
and quality. Until they are educated
to this the Office Of the purchasing
agent will not be able to perform all
that can be expected of it."
Il have for years been an advocate
of the central purchasing idea" said
Mr.. Weir, -and l believe that the
citizens of the State also favor this
plan. Collective purchasing is the
best way and feel sure that the Blu.
reau will not be discontinued"
