SUMMIT BRIDGE-LUMS ROAD
viii Be Relocated on Account of
Widening the Canal

About 1900 to 1900 feet of the
new state highway leading north
from Summit Bridge to Lum's
Pond will be considerably changed
when reconstructed next year af-
ter the dredging operations in the
canal in that section have been
completed. The Atlantic, Gulf and
Pacific Dredging Company is now
working on some of the prelimin-
ary tasks that will have to be done
before the road is rebuilt. One of
the main changes is that a stretch
of approximately 1000 feet will
be relocated about 200 feet west of
the old road and the several hills
and curves in the stretch where the
old road ran through small valley
will be entirely eliminated. The
entire stretch will be level practic-
ally all the way from Summit
Bridge to the Lum's Pond section.
The Atlantic, Guf and Pacific Com
pany is now engaged in making the
fill where the new road will be To-
Gated but there still remains con-
siderable filling in to do, and it
may not be entirely completed be
fore Spring. The company is also
engaged at this time in the con-
struction of a large culvert which
is to pass under the site of the new
road. This culvert will act as a
drain for Lum's Pond and is in
tended to carry off all excess water
from the pond into the Chesapeake
and Delaware Canal.

Radiant Living
THE GLOW OF
TRIUMPH
By Rev. c. M. Griffeth
Pastor Calvary M. E. Church
Sudlersville, Md.

Christians are radiant people.
There is a peculiar light upon their
countenances. 1t shines forth from
their expressions. You are con-
scious of it as you talk with them
There is a glow about their fea-
lures which is suggestive of hid
den joy, an inward peace, and a
mastery victory.
What can be the secret of this
subtle yet impressive radiancy?
In some way unknown to others,
Christians have attained a victory
over the distressing thing in life
which have brought discourage
ment, defeat and disaster to many
another life.
The radiancy of these triurn-
phat people is due in no small mea-
sure to the fact that they no long
er are living in these low places of
immortality that are dark and dis
NAL because Of permitted sin,
where the sunlight of righteousness
seldom penetrates, but upon those
higher levels of clean living where
they are illumed by that peculiar
light which streams from God.
There are some people whom we
pass on the street whose faces are
darkened because thy liv down in
tn swamps of condemnation where
the sink holes of sin abound. 9th
ers carry on their faces shadows
that pertain to the lowlands of fret
and worry, where the light of faith
shines but dim.
But the face of the Christian is
unshadowed. There is upon it the
unobstructed light which bathes
the highlands of Divine fellowship.
Here in these upper rigions of holy
living one is enabled to get an un-
structed view of Him from whom
all light streams forth.

900 square miles over southeastern

rines who have been guarding
American lives and property in
that far-off country since the Box

With her history antedating the
Birth of Christ by more than 1000
years, China was once the home of
the worlds finest contemporary
civilization. Although China is a
country peopled by a passive and
philosophical race, The Boxer Up
rising in 1900 was the first, in a
now long series of internal revolts
which today are further occasioned
by native war lords.
When hordes of fanatical Chinese
rose in arms at the turn of the
twentieth century, determined to
wipe out the foreigners, American
soldiers and marines were sent
there to aid our nationals, then liv-

Today, there are about 500 Mar

known to-day as the Fourth Mar
ines, more than 1000 sea soldiers
stand ready in that cosmopolitan
city to extend a protecting arm to
our nationals.
During the Slno-Japanese i'm
broglio in 1882, officers and men of
the Fourth Marines acquitted
themselves with distinction when
the situation was ripe for further
international entanglements.
More recently members of the
famous Fourth have been stationed
on American boats plying along
the reaches of the Yangtze River.
T his new duty was given to Uncle
Sans sea soldiers after river pi-
rates had attacked several ships
flying the American flag. Surely
there is no river in the world which
has so much to offer in variety of
scenery as has the Yangtze, with
hundreds of boats, flying the flags
of many nations, sailing her broad
yellow bosom.
Although the Marines are sta
toned in China primarily to pro-
tect American lives and property,
they also have found time to par
ticipate in all manner of athletic
events, both at Peiping and Shang-

visit Chinese soil. To date they
have won practically every title

most of the track and field, base

Sports are encouraged in China
primarily because of its great aid
in bolstering the morale of the men
who serve so far from their native
land.
However, it is only fair to say,
that this enigmatic land that is
China, fragrant with lotus bios
