BISHOP w. T. MANNING
RE-STATES THE FAITH

As a part Of a recent sermon
we submit the following:
Few, if any, of us in this
Church hold the position of those
who are popularity described as
l'umdamentalists. We believe in
the widest freedom of enquiry and
Of scholarly research. We well
come eagerly all the light that
science and scholarship can give.
We believe fully in applying mod
cln knowledge to religion, but we
insist that the power Of God, and
His revelation Of Himself, shall
not be limited by the measure of
our human reason, or of our nee
cSsary partial knowledge of the
physical order. "
@&#*#
Permitting all lawful liberty
Of Interpretation and explana-
ton in the case of every article,
this Church calls upon all her
clergy and people to believe the
fact that Our Lord went into the
place of departed spirits, the fact
that He is now at the right hand
of God, the fact that He will one
day come again in judgment, and
she certainly calls upon us to be-
lieve and teach, the fact that He
who, for our Sakes came down
from Heaven, was born of the Vir-
gin Mary, the fact Of His bodily
resurrection from the tomb, and
the fact of His return to the place
which lie had, before the worlds
We're, at the right hand Of the

LOCATION OF BOXES
ON RURAL MAIL ROUTES
Washington, D. c., Feb. s, "a

Washington, D. c., Feb. s, "a
In order that there be a more
proper understanding by post
masters, rural carriers, road of
ficials, and the general public of
the regulations of the department
regarding the location of rural
mail boxes and of IFS desire to
cooperate with state and local arl-
thorities as to the use of roads by
rural carriers, the following is
published:
The Post Office Department has
no jurisdiction ovey public high
ways nor have rural carriers any
special privileges in the use of the
roads. Carriers shall observe the
traffic regulations in the same
manner as is required of other
persons travelling the roads.
The department does. however,
exercise jurisdiction over mail
boxes furnished and maintained
by patrons of rural routes. 1t re-
quires that such boxes shall be 50
located as to be easily and safely
accessible to the carriers at all
times and without leaving their
conveyances. n is suggested
that for the protection and safe
ty of the lives of the carriers and
when the convenience of the trav-
cling public is not disturbed or
exposed to peril, the boxes shall be
placed on the right-hand side of
the road in the direction of travel
of the carrier.
1t is our desire to cooperate as
far as possible with the local au-
thorities in observing State or
local traffic ordinances and to in
convenience patrons to the least
possible extent in so doing. In
eases where special effort is made
for the improvement Of the APP
pearancc of the entire right Of
way or where for any reason it is
necessary or desirable that cX-
plicit instructions be given as to
the proper location Of boxes, road
officials may properly suggest to
patrons the appropriate places for
boxes after consulting with post
masters and rural carriers rs to
the suitability Of the places de-
termined upon.
1t is thought that there is no
warrant for the arbitrary rcmovHl
of boxes from the roadside unless
they are a menace to traffic, at
least until patrons have had am
opportunity to conform with the
requirements or to state their
reasons for declining to do SO.
Should boxes be taken down fem
porarily by road officials or others
in connection with road improve
ments or repairs care must be cX-
crcised that neither boxes nor
their contents be damaged.
