RAILROADS UNBIBLICAL

In 1928 the school board at Ian
caster, Ohio, refused to allow GER
tain liberals to use the school
house, giving their reasons as fol
low:
"You are welcome to use the
schoolhouse to debate all proper
questions in, but such things as
railroads and telegraphs are i'm
possibilities and rank mfiddelity.
There's nothing in the word of
God about them. If God had de-
signed that his intelligent crea-

full speed of fifteen miles an hour
by steam, he would have clearly
foretold it by His holy prophets.

SOUTHERN HEIGHTS
Mrs. A. N. Morrill,.

In our write-up of South
Heights last week there was quite
a serious mistake. Only the
omission. of one small cypher,
but it made quite a difference in
the amount of baby chicks orders
for this spring at the Forrest
Home Poultry ranch, for instead
of 1000 it should have read ten
thousand, exactly ten times as
many. We were sorry for this
mistake but of course any one
would know that it would not
require ten 500-egg incubators to
hatch 1000 chicks.

by the printer and the CORES.
