HORSEPOWER
ONLY WAY TO
AVOID SHINING
Major Hites Proposes Bible in
Place of Quart on Mems
Hips.
WILL RESTRAIN CRIME

There isn't a man In the world who
out the power of God to strengthen him."
Major Earl Hites, preaching at the Cadle
Tabernacle Sunday, declared. Goods
Word in His Pocket Now Instead Of q
Quart on His HIP" was the subject Of
the sermon.
Things that are impossible to men are
possible to God, declared Major Hites.
Jesus offered the rich young ruler eternal
riches in place Of earth's transient and
uncertain wealth and the young man
went away refusing the offer, Major
Hites related.
But God can enter, even into the heart
of a rich man, and work such a trans
formation that he will not hoard, but
give his wealth gladly. Zaccheus is an
instance in proof. AS soon as he met
the Lord he was willing to restore any
thing he had gained by fraud, if anything
had been so gotten, and besides he stated
his desire TO bestow half Of his goods
on the poor. That's the way the Gospel
always works in the hearts and lives OF
men.
I'VE can restrain men from crime. but
have no power to keep sin out of the
Tertiary, and you make it impossible for
him to commit a felony, but the heart
of the man may be as full of vile in
tents as when he had his liberty. We
can force men to pay their income tax
Though / think there are a good many
business men In Indianapolis who try in
every possible way to pay Uncle Sam
just as little as possible) but you can
ot make men honest by law. Put Christ
in MS heart, however. and you will not
need a statute Of any kind on his trail.
I'VE can change mems environment to
some extent by legislative ~enactments,
but not their character. A perfumed pig
is still a pig But, God can take an old
'soak'-a drunkard for whom nobody
has any use-and clean him up, and
make a respectable. upright. serviceable
man out Of him. We can educate men,
but it is not in our human power to
regenerate them-that is Gods work. BY
polish and refinement and manners We
can make gentlemen, but only high
heaven can make men good. We can re-
strain men from their excuses, but can
not keep their coYetous Iusts out of their
hearts. an can patch up a bad job,
but only God can create new.

HUMBLE TOILERS HAVE
PLACE IN HISTORY

The place of the hubble toflers in the
history of the church and the history of
the world was dwelt upon by the Rev.
Matthew F. Smith, pastor of the First
Presbyterian Church in his sermon Sun
day on s.Tertius."
The great work Of leaders such as
Luther, Knox. Calvin and Wesley, could
not have been accomplished without the
aid OF thousands OF supporters, the Rev.
Smith declared. Leaders are essential
in the society of mankind. but the world
should thank God for the obscure and
humble toilers who have made the State.
the church and the home what they are.
He continued:
There are two or three worthwhile
lessons that Tertius can teach US. First
that there is only a thin veil that hangs
Retween that which we call sacred and
hat which we call secular. Uusually we
regard six days as secular and one day
as sacred. and yet there is sense In
which every day is sacred and in which
every worthy task is sanctifed. Only
will the kingdom Of God come in power
with the sanctification of everyday life.
The aspotle Paul has the conception when
he cries out: Whatever you do, whether
you eat or drink, do all to the glory Of
God
In the second place. Tertfus reminds
US Of the permanency of humble things
well done. History makes much of our
great leaders, especially in war and MILL
tary achievement. but what could great
leaders have done without soldiers. In
the church. We honor the names OF Ltith
er, Knox. Calvin and Wesley, because
their vision and their courage. but what
could these men have accomplished with
out multitudes Of supporters. 1t is a
fine thing TO see a captain Of a great
seagoing steamship take his place on the
bridge and touch a few electric buttons,
and behold the great ship moves on its
way. But we must remember that there
are scores of men down In the boiler
and engine rooms responding to the d.
rection of the captain"

Community Center.
The acquiring Of the twenty acres
embraces the idea of moving the
county high school from its present
location on Main street to this site
near the city school, within tn next
few years. The seating capacity OF
the high school building is only ninety
It is recognized that if the town and
county grows and develops as we have
every reason to expect, the present
building will be entirely to small to
accomidate the students within few
wears That will mean a large and
more modern building mustbe built
and the most logical place would be on
the grounds near where the city
school will stand.
That would present an opportunity
for Crossville to acquire the present
hich school building for a town hall
and when the crowds are more than
it will accumulate the city school or
high school building will be available.
That would tend to in a marked de-
gree render the two school buildings
and the grounds something OF civic
Icenter for Crossville and surrounding
section :, to o, say nothing OF the county
Aside from room for buildings there
will be room for bali park and other
amusement features of similar char
acter. This may be regarder as a
rather large program, but it is neither
improbable nor impissble, and be-
cause of those facts, the wisdom and
broad judgment of those who nave
handled the project stands out the
more strongly. and should meet with
the hearty approval Of the people OF
Crossvile generally.
