THE FASCINATION OF
DISCOVERY
BY Rev. G. NJ. Griffeth

There is an alluring fascination
in discovedy. What must have
been the thrilling emotions of
those who sailed with Columbus as
they penetrated westward day BY
day across an endless sea! What
must have been the excitement on
board the Santa Maria when the
lookout cried down to the men on
deck, 'Land-ho". What must have
been the experiences of those sail
ors when they stepped for the first
time upon the shores of a NV un-
known world
To sail up an unknown river
where you have never been before.
to wonder what adventure awaits
you around the next bend is to ex-
perience the delight of exploration.
What must have been the thrills of
that exploring party who with
Teddy Roosevelt pushed up the un-
known River of Doubt in the Am
azon wilderness!
But discovery is not limited to
travel. There are many other
fields that present to the alert
mind the fascination of discovery.
There is the realm of the labra-
tory, the realm of mathematics.
the realm of electromagnetic, the
realm Of psychology as well as
many others We're await avluable
discoveries.
There is another great realm of
fascinating discovery that lies be
fore us and that is the realm of
the spirit. Said DR.. Steinmetz, to
Mr.. Pabson in answer to his ques-
ton as to what line Of research
will see the greatest development
during the next fifty years: Il
think the greatest discovery will
be made along spiritual lines. Here
is a force which history clearly

The Chinese text used is that of

for the Dover area for the present
summer months, is progressing as
rapidly as possible and upon COM

badly needed improvements viii
be added to the list already in ex-
istence, says The Delaware State
News. Construction of the new
bridge over Silver Lake, north of
Dover, is progressing rapidly with
the result that the structure may
be completed before Labor Day,
the date originally set for its COM
pletion. The new structure is a
three arched span built with rein
forced concrete and finished with a
brick veneer, in keeping with the
other buildings and bridges in the
Dover area. The concrete is now
all in place and large amount of
the brick work has been completed.
The bridge is being constructed by
the State Highway Department
and this department will receive
bids on July 14th for the construc-
ton of the approaches to the new
bridge which will have four traffic
lanes as well as two sidewalks.
Preparations are being made for
construction of the sidewalk along
the South Governors avenue boule-
ward, a project that is also being
sponsored by the State Highway
Department. It was necessary to
move some small houses in order
to get the proper line for the side
walk and the work of moving
these houses is now in progress.

construction of the South Cover
