SUSPENSION BRIDGE
 WEARS COMPLETION
Delaware River Structure Ready
 Ready by July 4, 1926

Philadelphia, August 1.-Const rue, titn work on the great Delaware river suspension bridge. according tc officials of the commission directing i,s erection. is keeping pace with the schedule set by the engineers who designed lt. making it probable tha, July 4. 1926. the sesqui- of the signing of the Declaration Of In- dependence, will see the new artery of traffic opened between Pennsyl- vania and New Jersey.
 The bridge, with a span of 1850 feet between towers. according to the engineers, will be the largest of its kind in the world. More than mile end a half in total length. it's towers already in place, reach Ss5 feet above the surface of the Delaware River.
 Draped from the monster cables, each of which will be 20 1-2 inches thick. the floor of the bridge is to be 1S5 fet above high water, providing passage for the largest craft without altering their top hamper.
 The bridge will be I25 feet wide and will accommodate four tracks for trolley and rapid transit lines and a roadway for six lines of vehicles. Two walks for pedestrians will be built above the roadway. The cost of the project is estimated at sSo.TS3,000, divided between Philadelphia and Camden, and the states of Pennsylva- mia and New Jersey.
 At it's present stage, the structure presents the appearance of d bridge without q floor.\ The towers and an- chorsges are in position, and the two shores linked by temporary cables on which narrow footpath for work men has been laid. Both shores of the river are alive with men and re- sound to the chatter of machinery, the grind of concrete mixers and the sharp exhaust of hoisting engines. Tons of concrete are being poured daily in the construction of the great anchorages. A wide swath has been cut into the heart of Philadelphia and the heart of Camden to clear the way | for the approaches 10 the bridge ! Historic churches and buildings have |, been moved or demolished to make l. way for this twentieth century project, l

Laws Against Liquor

Tallahassee, Fla, August 1.-The far -sightedncss ot lfloridas lcgisla- tors of the nineteenth century is dis closed in an old law uncarthed in the archives of the state capital here. It is an act which became effective in January, 1855, and provided heavy penalties for employees of railroads found guilty of being int oXicatcd while in the performances of their duty.
 At the time of it's enactment there were no railroads in Florida. The act, however, imposed upon the general assembly the duty Of ascertaining the proper objects of Improvements in re- lation to railroads. canals, and navig- able streams: and indicates the pre- sentiment the lawmakers must have had that liquor and locomotive com bined would not make for public safety.

SUNDAY SCHOOL NOTES
Interesting Facts Concerning the
Work In Garrett County
SARA R. GETTY

Christmas is passed, that is the Gel
ebration and reioicings and the home
comings, but Christmas still reigns
in our hearts, and because we have
celebrated the Kings birthday we are
better fitted to start the New Year
Alright. May it be profitable and a
blessed one for each school and indi-
vidual; may we give better service
and be more Jealous upon the bust
ness of the King.
The Jennings Lutheran school had
a delightful service with Christmas
offering for a worthy cause. Good at
tendance.
The Jennings NJ. E. Sunday school
gave their Christmas offering to the
Japan relief fund-a very generous
one.
The Grantsville Reformed school
gave their offering to their Orphans
Home. Their service included a can
tata and nearly fifty voices composed
the choir, the members of St. Paul's
Sunday school assisting them and
they in turn taking part at St. Paul,
which is in the same charge.
The Grantsville Lutheran school
gave their offering to church eXten-
sion. The service, a splendid one, be-
ing in charge of the young people al
most exclusively. A fine address by
the pastor, Rev. J. NJ. Rearick, was
made.
The Girls Sunshine class gave the
proceeds of their birthday box to the
LOUISVILLE (Pa.) Orphans Home. This
has been the custom for several years,
the little girls being quite eager about
it.
The Cradle Roll Department of this
school also made an Offering of about
three dollars and fifty cents to the or
phans' home, each little baby giving a
dime, some of them fifty cents. No
body missed the amount, and the lit
tie ones at the home were made the
happier for the little gift.
About two weeks ago the adult
bible class of this school held a sock
and apron social at the Stone House
Farm, Mrs. H. P. Miller kindly giving
her home for the event. About 80
/ persons were present, the proceeds

the Book as utter failures. The re-
mainder of Genesis is taken up with
the story of His dealings with Abra-
ham and his descendants that ulti-
mately brought the nation and the
church. God was wildly real to this
man. He could talk with Him and
could catch His speech. He could
make covenants with Him and fulfill
them. He could welcome Him into
his old skin tent, talk with Him as he
walked, laugh for sheer joy over His
word, take orders from Him in every
crisis, and believe in His great pur-
pose for Him and his. No wonder he
earned the title of Friend of God."
The world may cry, "unscientific," all
it pleases, but given that conscious
ness of Almighty God and character
possible in no other way energies to-
day as then. And it is perfectly I'M
derstandable with such a leader that
Israel should have given the supreme
revelation of that God to the world,
that Isaac should see a flaming bush,
Isaiah find the temple vocal with De-
ity, or that shepherds should hear the
song of the angels over Judea's hills.
It has been that consciousness of God
that was Abraham's life that has been
at the heart of the movement begun
by him across all the centuries since.
THE MEANING OF THE
MOVEMENT
Adam had been caring for a garden
in which he and his could live. Noah
was planning a world for his own
family only. Abraham had the far
look toward all the world and ex-
pected to hold nothing for himself.
That was a significant statement by
the Argentine President to Mr.. Bah
son that the secret of the difference
between the two Americas lay in the
fact that his ancestors came for gold
while ours came for God. And the
significance of this earlier movement
Of immigrants was that "others" lay
at it's heart like star in their sky.
They were to have a title to the land
but it was to be a blessing to numbers
as uncounted as the sands and to
bring the message of a good God to
all people. 1t foreshadowed the Christ
who chose the cross instead of a
crown in order that His followers
might seek nothing for themselves,
but might serve their world. And
the man or the church that would get
great things for self has not only be-
gun to die but is deliberately COM
hitting suicide But wherever the
love that gives all appears there de
