SEVENTH REASON
FOR HOLY GHOST
BAPTISM GIVEN

Evangelist Robertson, at the AS
sembly of God church last night
spoke on the 9TH reason you should
have the Baptism of the Holy Ghost.
The speaker said in part:
81 have already given you sew
eral reasons why you should have
the baptism of the Holy Ghost.
Tonight 1 will give you another
and if you have this you will not
say that the things that the Holy
Ghost does is the work of the devil.
The seventh reason is to discern
between the Holy Ghost and the
devil.
people are very apt to sit in
a meeting when the Holy Ghost
is working and see the healing
that is being done and other mirac-
ulous things and then go out and
say it is the devil, or hypnotism.
There is a danger point in men
doing this. The very reason Jesus
made the statement in Matt 1892
was because The Pharisee'ss said
he was chasing out DEVILS through
the prince of devils.

best effort to see that Douglas gets
the latest and best equipment that
can be had for the money. Estimates
have already reached the point OF
fixing the probable cost of the work.
The items of the lighting system
will include $4,000 feet of border
light, six flood lights, each with 150,-
600 beam candle power and the re-
volving beacon which will be placed
in a tower 40 feet high, the hangar
lights and a control switch board.
The flood lights will not be visible
but throw their beam across the field.
The lighting will call for $4,000 feet
of underground cable as the lighting
will all be from high voltage wires.
For this equipment the estimated
cost will be $6,600 When it is re-
membered that numerous places have
had considerable aggravation by max
ing rash selection because OF haste,
it is the view of the local commit
tee that it probably will be well to
canvas the field thoroughly and know
that the system offered is the best
available at the time. Some cities
that built lighting systems only a
year or two years ago are being COM
PEELED to change and improve now
because of the inefficiency of their
system.
The plan being worked out provides
for field that will give plane a
run of mile in one direction and
about 1000 feet in the shortest line,
a size that is believed to be sufficient
for several years. That however,
takes only part of the section OF
land the city will own and in the
event that larger needs develop, all
that will be required will be to in
crease the field by slight change
in the line of the border lighting.
This lighting system will entitle
the air port to Triple AZ rating
and any company installing the sys-
tenn will be required to guarantee
that rating as part of their con-
tract This estimate also covers all
material and labor costs and places
the system ready to turn on the
lights"

Platinum. the most costly OF metals,

Before the war almost the only source
of platinum was Russia. After the
Russian Revolution this supply was cut

Gold sank in comparison to rather
inexpensive and plebeian metal.
Within the last few months, how
ever, Russian engineers have re-equip-

dredges and soon are expected to reach
a pre-war scale of production, which
is likely to force down the price, since
the Colombia deposits still are running
