pared, but after long time for Wis

and in few well chosen words
made them welcome, and had a
choir composed of members who
years ago sang the same familiar
hymns. Mrs. Nellie Seyler presided
at the piano. Judge L. j. Weber
who had been a great booster for
the Homecoming and who always
conducted the singing was sadly
missed. The writer, lifelong
friend of the Judge, told of his
great help to the Sunday school, by
his frequent visits and teaching the
lesson, and conducting the singing.
In memory of Judge Weber, the
audience stood in silence with bow
ed heads while the pianist played
softly his favorite hymn, "The Old
Rugged Cross" Several short talks
were made by visiting members, in
cluding j. NJ Anderson of Colum-

Christian Living, Romans 1871
81, for Sunday, Sept. 20:
This lesson is taken from one of
Paul's letters written from Rome to
the church at Galatia which was
troubled by remarks of some Jewish
people, on the necessity Of keeping
a number of rules and laws ii one
would be Christian. Paul an
nounces principles whereby they
could know whether they were
Christians.
V. 1. Il beseech you therefore,
brethren, by the mercies of God, that
We present your bodies living sac
rifice, holy, acceptable unto God,
which is your reasonable service. .
This verse contains the basis for an
expressed Christian life as suggested
by the verses that follow. A total
surrender to God and His will al
lows Him to perform work OF
grace in the soul.
V. g. "And be not conformed to
this world; but be ye transformed
by the renewing of your mind, that
We may prove what is that good, and
acceptable and perfect will of God. .
One is not to follow the fashions
and customs Of goddess society, but
let the ways Of thinking be so
changed by the Holy Spirit that
there may be produced the motive
of loving obedience to God.
" 3. "For l say, through the
grace given unto me, to every man
that is among you, not to think of
himself more highly than he ought
to think; but to think soberly, ac-
cording as God has dealt to every
man the measure of faith" Paul
meant that although the world does
not value humility, II charge every
one Of you to be content to do the
work in the church for which God
has fitted you"
V. 9. "Let love be without dis
stimulation. Abhor that which is
evil; cleave to that which is good. :"
Pure affection is rare; most love is
tainted or twisted. Hypocrisy goes
with hate, not with love.
v. 10. "Be kindly affectioned one

EagIeport Homecoming

Judging from the size of the
crowd and the friendly greetings
from those who formerly lived at
Eagleport or vicinity, the annual
Homecoming at the Eagleport church
Sunday was a grand success. The
folks began to assemble in the mid
die of the forenoon, and by noon a
large crowd had gathered ready to
partake of the fine dinner prepared
by the ladies and served in the
shade of the trees on the well-kent
lawn. Everyone present ate to his
satisfaction, but no one became sick,
although two doctors were present
in case of need. The church build
ing presented very beautiful ap-
pearance, with new coat of paint
on the outside and the interior very
attractive with new paper. Herbert

BACHELOR FROM BRISTOL
TAKES CAKE PRIZE

Deserving of special mention
among the premiums at the Morgan
county fair last week, were the
premiums won by Mr.. Edgar Smiley
of Bristol township, who took first
premium on cocoanut cake; first on
marble cake; second on frosted
cookies; second on oat meal cook
les, and first on pies. He entered a
devils food cake, also, but failed to
take a premium on it. Since the
death of his mother several years
ago, Mr.. Smiley has lived alone, and
he does all his house work, so no
woman can in any manner claim any
credit for Mr. Smiley's baked prod
ucts which won over number OF
entries. Mr.. Smiley labeled his
baked goods Bachelor products
from Bristol township"
incidentally we will add that his
baking is just as good as it looks,
since the Democrat force had the
opportunity of tasting a generous
sample of Mr.. Smiley's prize VIM
ners.

CHRISTIAN Living, Romans 12:1-
III, for Sunday, Sept. 20:
How much does the body have to
do in determining the mind?
In what sense should our bodies
be a living sacrifice?
By what means can we klndle our
zeal?
What is better than law for right
living? Why?.
Whv did Paul make humility such
prominent virtue?
How can we love our enemies!
Glorious says: "a Christian has
no real creed except the one he puts
into practice. True Christian faith
is expressed in brotherhood and un-
selfishness. A constant dedication
of self to the will of God is essen
tial."
Lesson prayer: eve would be so
transformed by a continual renewal
of our mind by the spirit OF Christ,
as to naturally express the cardinal
Christian virtues"

CRUISE f NDS,
PRESIDENT IN
j. 5. AGAIN
Lands at Charleston,
Boards Train for
Washington
By GEORGE E. DURNO

CHARLESTON, S. C., Dec. ID
GNSO.-President Roosevelt re-
turned to the United States today,
terminating an epochal cruise to
South America.
Ahead of him In Washington
was the opening of Congress and
inauguration. Behind him was the
Inter-American Conference at
Buenos Aires, now rounding out
to seemingly successful conclu-
sion.
Heavily tanned, the President
left the cruiser indianapolis at
$50 this morning, pausing only
long enough to- say a heartfelt
good.by to the officers and men
who had carried him 12,261 miles
in the record-breaking time Of 20
days. .,.t....
Crowds Line Streets
Crowds lined Charleston streets
to give Mr.. Roosevelt a rousing
Homecoming as he proceeded to
his waiting special train. At 8
o'clock he was en- route to Wash
ington.
twenty-five days at sea under
a tropical sun had erased every
indication of the strain OF the
recent campaign from the Presi-
dents face. He appeared to be
in the most robust health.
Only one thing marred the
Presidents cruise south Of the
Equator. That was the sudden
and unexpected death Of his per
sonal bodyguard, Gus Gennerich,
at BuenoS Aires.
Gus coffin was taken off the
Indianapolis shortly before the
Presidents departure and con-
veyed to the special train. Mrs.
Roosevelt has arranged for White
House services tomorrow morning
for the former New York police
man, who became almost men,
Der of the family. The sad duty
Of accompanying the body to New
York thereafter for burial will fall
upon James Roosevelt, the Presi-
dents eldest son.

ANOTHER SPAN
PLANNED FOR
KEY BRIDGE
Fine Arts Body Will
Add Extension on
Virginia Side

Completion of Key Bridge as a
symmetrical structure will be I'm.
dertaken shortly, it was learned
today as the Fine Arts Commits
sion joined with the Park and
Planning Commission in approx
ing the construction of an add.
tional span on the Virginia end Of
the bridge.
At the same time the commits
sion authorized the construction of
a temporary bridge joining the
northwest end of Columbia Island
with the Virginia mainland.
No estimate on the Key Bridge
spans cost was forthcoming. 1t
was explained, however, that the
new arch would be of similar de-
sign and material as the rest Of
the bridge. At present Key Bridge
is composed Of a central arch, 2O8
feet in length, thanked by two
204-foot spans and the shore con.
Meeting spans are lot feet in
length. The symmetry of the
br1dge, however, is marred by an
85-foot span bridging the Chesa-
peake and Ohio Canal on the
Washington shore. Construction
of the new span on the Virginia
side would equalize the length of
the bridge from the center point
to both shores.
Decision to make the Columbia
Island-Virginia connecting link
temporary structure, it was ex.
planned, was based on foundation
difficulties in that area. The
bridge would be of wooden pile
and trestle construction. and is
exepcted to cost approximately
$25, 900.
The Park and Planning Commits
sion contemplateS the eventual con.
struction of a $4,000 permanent
bridge on the site, but felt that
Filings and gradings on the ap-
proaches to the bridge should
be allowed to settle for from five
to ten years.
