THE CRITICS SNEERS

They insist that the prophets knew
nothing of Christ. that they were not
under the inspiration of the Holy
Ghost, foretelling future events. es-
peeially the coming and the death Of
our Lord. These destroyers of the
Bible and the Christian faith in the
Bible also tell us that the account
of The Virgin Birth of Christ. given
by Matthew and Luke are uninspired
and untrue These same men tell us
that the accounts of the miracles per-
formed by Jesus and the Apostles
are not true The book of Revela-
lions is subject of their mirthful
ridicule.

the direction of the commission. At
present the job is a political appoint
ment made by the governor and an
swerable only to him. As it is not
often that a governor is a farmer or
man who knows about or is interested
in canning, to have the chief officer
of the state responsible for the acts
of such an official is not always con-
ducive to the best results, some of
those interested claim. Then again it
is urged that because of the sanitary
and health features which enter large
ly into the duties of the canning in
spector it would be best to have him
work in cooperation with the health
authorities.
Another suggested change to be
considered will deal with the con-
struction of water and sewage
plants in the state. At the last ses-
sion of the Legislature there was a
| law enacted which seems to many to
| be unconstitutional This law places
the sewage and water systems Of the
; town of Newark under the jurisdic-
ton of the state health authorities.
/ There are members of the commission
who feel that all water and sewage
systems should in a way be under
state supervision. BY this IS meant,
if town wants to erect a sewage
/ system the plans for the same should
bear the approval of the health Of
ficials. They claim that this seems
the natural and proper method and
that to enact law for the benefit Of
but one town or community, does not
seem legal, such as the case with the
town of Newark.
Another and quite important detail
lin connection with the state health
program, which may be Incorporated
into a bill, calls for the establishment
of county health units, replacing the
community organizations. Each coun-
ty would then have a health officer
with suitable headquarters, who would
direct the work in that county. This
would not affect the Wilmington
Board of Health.
