The highway which traverses tho top of Shades mountain from one end of the county to the other will very shortly be widened and su.'- faced with slag for tho distance be- tween the Montgomery highway. past Linger Longer Lodge and on to Ald- rich villa.

WORLD INFLUENCE OF CHRISTIANITY
 PASTORS SUBJECT

Preaching from the text, And the stone which the builders rejected has become the head of the corner" Rev. B. G. Hodge, associate pastor of the First Methodist church, in his sermon Sunday morning pointed out the in- fluence which Christ and His church have exercised in the developm snt and civilizing of the human race.
 Among the outstanding evidences of Christianity's influence on the world. Rev. Hodge enumerated the following:
 Tn the< first place. woman has come into her rights. When Christ was born, she was nothing more than a slave and her chief useful ness was to serve the wants of men, Under the influence of Christian teaching, those fine heaven born qualities of hers have been recos- nized and woman today takes har place as Gods highest creation.
 'In the second place, slavery has been all but abolished. The impact of Christianity delivered against this ancient institution through 2,00o years has shivered the shackles of slavery and released man from his age-long bondage.
 'In the third place. human life has been dignified. Two thousand years ago man was not much more than a brute. His life was of little interest and could be snuffed out with as little concern as could the blaze of a taper, but now due to the teachings of Christianity. he is recognized as one made in the image of his Creator. His body is looked upon as She tenn pie of the Holy Spirit and therefore sacred.
 'In the fourth place. under the in- fluence of Christianity, education hs s come to be looked upo,. as something for all Formerly 1t was for the better class but now the Christian religion demands that there be a schoolhouse on every hill and in every valley so that every boy and girl may have an equal chance to learn. In recent years the Protestant denominations have made great strides to this end and millions have heen subscribed for the purpose of Christian education.
 "In the fifth place, Christianity mas produced a system of international law and ethics and put 1t into prac- tice between tho nations. Some man may say, This system Is of no ef- feet but I submit that consider able advance has been made in that we have a system of international law and ethics which for the most part is recognized. Two thousand years ago, there was no such system. It is direct product of Christianity.
 'Tn the sixth place, Christianity has reduced war to minimum and comparatively humanized it."

his skiff to the other boat and found
it high and dry on the rocks, listing

vented its falling from the boat
Burns attempted to secure the body

on logs, which Holsboe had evidently
been making ready to move, until he
