NO MONOTONY HERE

Last week we clipped from the daily
papers an item referring to the rescue
Of the crew of the wrecked British
steamer, Tuscan Prince, by the Sno-
homish, commanded by 1t. Command
er Russell R. Waesche. This week we
find another news dispatch from Cal
ifornia as follows:
"The Associated Press reports told
of wireless messages from the coast
picked up the crew of the steamer
near Umatilla Reef, and which spread
tidings of the rescue of the doomed
Nika's crew that were no less thrill
ing.
"As the Nika was drifting help
lessly towards the jagged crags' OF
Umatilla Reef off the Washington
Coast, known as the graveyard of
Ships" her rudder gone, the coast
guard cutter was speeding through
the waves to her succor. Then was
discovered the fact that the Nika's
forward hold was afire. The radio
operator sent out his last despair
ing message, "We are afire."
GAS the Snohomish sighted the
Nika the latter burst into flames fore
and aft.
"The sea was rough-so rough that
no small boat could live in it. Cap
tain Russell r. Waesche, command
ing the Snohomish, took the only
chance available and steered the rescue
ship as close to the stern of the burn
ing ship as it was possible to get He
then rugged up an improvised breech-
es buoy after hurting line to the
Nika which was made fast. One by
one the Nika's crew placed themselves
in the buoy and were hauled aboard
the Snohomish. Three were slightly
injured in the rescue.
"In telling of the rescue the Sno-
homish message said: The heat was
intense"

GOOD ROADS
''The Influence of Good Roads Upon
the Church and the Religious
Life of the Community"

In our last weeks article we show
ed the value of Good Roads to town
and community in general with special
reference to the business interests.
This week but a brief article on the
value of Goo6 Roads to the Church
and the Religious Life of community
Our fair town of Thurmont is for
tunate in this respect for practically
the entire territory served by the
churches of town has solid roads, if
not State Roads, leading through it to
: the churches-and little do the church
es here suffer from lack of good roads,
and little excuse from this matter of
roads for not attending church. But
districts like Rocky Ridge and Crea-
gerstown too, suffer greatly in this re-
spect during the winter season. In
fact the church life is at a standstill
at this time of the year and is from
December to April, on account of bad
roads; aad this in the season when the
farmers and country people are most
at leisure and could and would go to
church and do work for the Kingdom.
The Sunday Schools in many cases are
closed in winter simply because the
roads are impossible and the religious
life as we'll as the social and financial
interest of the Church suffers.
We may not at first thot realize
what this means to community un-
til you labor in communities where
one church has good roads and anoth-
er not and make comparisons as to
results. It is almost impossible in
the winter season to hold fast to what
was gained the rest of the year, and
there is every reason in these days
of automobile traffic why communities
and churches that have no solid roads
are undeveloped and unprogressive,
and we should take this into consid-
Grafton when we judge them. The
time is coming when it will be differ
ent and when all country churcn CEN
ters will have solid roads and then
the one needed lack of the community
and church will be supplied, and then
the religious and social life of the
country and country church will soon
be on a parity with the town and city.
Let the country churches be all
boosters for good roads. 1t is the one
thing needful for her and one thing
essential for her salvation; for many
county churches are having their
doors closed because of lack of good
roads and other modern conVeniences,
most of which are dependent upon
good roads.
