Then he put on his shirt, buttoned

HIGHWAY CONTRACTORS
ARE WARNED

Ely Record: G. w. Borden, State
highway engineer, and Sam c. Dur
kee, division engineer of the High
way Department, spent a couple of
days in the district during the past
week inspecting the road work which
is now being done by the State and
Federal governments between Ely
and Eureka. They came here at the
request of the board of county COM
m~issioners, who had received many
complaints of the condition of the
road due to the carelessness of the
contractors, who had been using 1t as
a convenience while constructing the
new road, which for long distances
parallels the road now under con-
struction. While here the State en-
gineers informed the contractors that
when necessary to use the old road
in construction work they must at all
times provide a good detour for the
travelling public. IL this is not done
the pay checks of the contractors
will be held up in the future.
One sign of old age is when a man

The Christian faith is one well equip
ped, well suited, be said. to repair the
spiritual havoc of the war.
Men and women are disappointed in
the trend of modern affairs. The
minds of men are in confusion and
they wonder what the outcome will be.
"Such agencies as education, states
manship and efficiency in organization
have been tried and found wanting. To-
day men are turning toward religion.
Many are declaring, for the first time.
that the only thing that will save So
ciety and bring it out of chaos is the
of the application of religion.
This attitude gives the church
great opportunity. More is expected
of her than ever before and the world
is looking for results where the other
agencies have failed.
THE center of religion is character
istic. Moral advancement and social
renewals can be secured only through
contact with Christ in the creation of
moral standards which affect the whole
tone of community life. The principals
and teaching of Christ must enter into
every human relationship.
The church must not fail"
