you must answer these questions
in the affirmative: ~ Do you be-
lieve Jesus Christ is the son of
God? ~ Is He your personal
Saviour? ~ Have you said one
eternal yes to God? az Is it
your purpose to follow Jesus in
worship, in word, and in work
After having answered yes to

pastor. When they do attend a
service where they have been in
vited, they have full charge of the

FROM REHOBOTH
Construction of Gravel Road

PLAN BRIDGT AT INLET

The Ocean Boulevard between
Rehoboth and Bethany Beach will
be started as soon as bids are ad-
vertised for and received" was the
reply of Mr. w. w. Mack, State
Highway Engineer to query
about a rumor current in Rehoboth
that the surveying party which
recently made survey Of the pro-
posed road had recommended the
road project be given up. Mr..
Mack said that the survey party's
tual construction of the road. The
road is to be of gravel and binder,
and will be nearer to the Rehoboth
Bay than the ocean. Some ques-
tions have ben raised as to the ad-
visibility of building a permanent
bridge. Some thought a tempor-
ary bridge should be built until
test was made on the action of
the Inlet upon the bridge founda-
tions but Mr.. Mack said a perm
anent bridge would be built. It
would be much more satisfactory
as the plans and specifications
have already been made, Mr.. Mack
said. Particular attention was
paid to the action of the recent
big storm on the proposed road
route and it was found that little
damage was done to the ground
The state built a stretch of road
from Bethany Beach to the Inlet
and it has proved satisfactory and
little trouble has been experineced
with wash outs" The only change
in the new road will be the dig
ging of one ditch on the bay side,
while the Bethany Beach Inlet
sthretch has ditch on both the
ocean and bay sides. Mr. Mack
said that caused more washouts
than the new road will be fixed.
Fro mall indications the road will
be started about the middle of
January or the first of February.
