NORRIS DAM AND THE T. v. A.

On our way to Knoxville, we turn
ed aside to Norris Dam, and tried to
understand the meaning of so great
an enterprise to the community and
to the nation. We were somewhat
carried away by the enthusiasm of
project, and who have made an ex-
haustive, and longtime study of it's
present and future advantages. In
my effort to takes notes on the way,
and to write them out, / may not
nave obtained as exact information
as | might have done under other
conditions, but | have done the best
| could.
Norris Dam is but one of eight
great kindred enterprises, under the
Tennessee Valley Authority. When
all is completed it will comprise the
Norris, Wheeler, Wilson, Gunters-
vile, Chickamauga, HiaWassee, Gill
bertSville and Pickwick Dams.
In 1915, the immense project was
first put before congress 1t was
never passed, without veto, until
1888. Senator Norris has been the
unfailing advocate, and from him
Norris Dam gets its name.
This is the era of great power
power supply the system will benefit
seven states: Tennessee. Virginia,
Mississippi, Alabama. Georgia, Ken
tucky and North Carolina. But it
will benefit all states in the nation
by way Of general prosperity, and
social and economic development
Since Norris Dam was completed,
Tennessee has reduced the cost of
power 49M. But the amount of
power used has increased 92%.
From 1898 to 1896 the power con-
sumed from private concerns in
creased 27 percent more than ever
before in the same length of time
In one year, 1897 to 1888, private
owners reaped a profit of $3.50, 900
more than in any previous year.
The advantage of flood control
and protection is very great. Since
1850 there has been an annual flood
loss of $1,750,000 on an average, in
the Tennessee valley. Since Norris
Dam has been completed, there has
been no major food loss. In the
great flood of 1887, it was possible
to lower the Ohio river six inches

Saul Becomes q New Man, Acts
9:1-19, for Sunday, April 2:
We have in this lesson the story
of a wonderful conversion with the
marks of character transformation
which ought to be repeated in mod
ern times.
V. 1. "And Saul, yet breathing
out threatenings and slaughter
against the disciples of the Lord,
went unto the high priest Saul,
a leader of the Sanhcdrin was ac-
tive in the prosecutions and the
death of many Christians. Up to this
time he thought he was doing right.
Right teaching and training is very
fundamental. Having made havoc
in prosecuting the Christians in Je-
rusalm, Saul now seeks to carry on
his work in other places getting per-
mission to go as far as Damascus:
Either man gets more wicked all
the time or better all the time;
character does not stand STILL
V. 8. "'And as he journeyed, he
came near Damascus; and suddenly
there shined around about him a
light from heaven" 1t being mid
day, the light that shone was super
natural, arresting Sauls attention.
Giving heed to God is the first requi-
site to conversion.
v. 4. "And he fell to the earth,
and heard voice saying unto him,
me?" Falling in humble submis-
sion to God is another requisite to
conversion. Another requisite is
that of seeing our own sin. When
Saul prosecuted the Christians he
was prosecuting Christ. Only broth
erly treatment of each other is al
lowed in Gods program.
V. 5. "And he said, Who art thOI
Lord? And the Lord said, | am Je-
sus whom thou art prosecuting! II
is hard for thee to kick against the
pricks.'' Christ reveals himself
when a soul is truly seeking Him.
In travelling the wrong way, sooner
or later there will be found fruit
less resistance to superior power.
v. 6. "And he trembling and as
tonished said, Lord, what wilt thou
have me to do? And the Lord said
unto him, Arise and go into the city,
and it shall be told thee what thou
must do" It was here that Saul
repented and was converted. From
doing what he thought he ought to
do, he turns to do what the Lord
wants him to do. Instead of Jesus
telling him what to do he reserves
that work for one of his followers.
v. 8. "And Saul arose from the
earth; and when his eyes were open
ed, he saw no man; but they led him
by the hand, and brought him to
Damascus" Pauls intellectual and
spiritual eyes were opened but hi his IS
physical eyes were still blind: Ihe
body is often a handicap to the in
tellectual and spiritual but even
then there are usually ways and
means provided for progress.
v. 9. ''And he was three days
without sight, and neither did eat
nor drink" In verse II it is stated
that he prayed. When t., there r., is simsns no.ns
ing else one can do, ne can always
pray which is the will of God
Y. 10. "And there was a certain
disciple at Damascus, named Anan-
las; and to him said the Lord IN d
vision, Ananias. And he said, Be
hold, I am here, Lord" Ananias was
a man of humble position-he was
never heard of after this event, no
man is too humble to be used Oh INC
Lord. INTO
v. II. "And the Lord said unto
Morgan County Democrat. (McConnelsville, Ohio) 1886-1943, 1939-03-30

him, Arise and go into the street
which is called Straight, and inquire
in the house of Judas for one called
Saul, of Tarsus; for behold he pray.
eth The directions are given in
detail. God leaves nothing to chance
V. IL. "And hath seen in a vision
a man named Ananias coming in,
and putting his hand on him, that
he might receive his sight" At the
time Ananias was prepared to meet
Saul, Saul was being prepared to
meet Ananias When God sends us
he prepares the way before us.
V. IT. "And Ananias went his
way, and entered into the house;
and putting his hands on him said
Brother Saul, the Lord, even Jesus,
that appeared unto thee in the way
as thou camest, hath sent me: that
thou mightest receive thy sight, and
be filled with the Holy Ghost" The
man who three days before was a
pronounced prosecutor Of Jesus is
now Brother Saul and an heir to the
riches of grace all because he re-
pented and was converted.
V. Is. "And Immediately there
fell from his eyes as it had been
scales; and he received sight forth
with, and arose and was baptized" !"
Saul was now made member of the
Christian church and was accepted
into Christian fellowship.

at Paducah, Ky.
The army engineer has made
calculation that shows there was a
saving in damages to the amount of
2O,000,000 that year. Remember
that the Tennessee contributes one
third of the water to the Ohio, at
Paducah. It contributes one-eighth
of the water to the Mississippi river.
When the system is complete, 1T will
lower the Mississippi at Memphis,
two feet. Chattanooga was saved in
one year, damages to the extent or
three-quarters of q million dollars.
AS an aid to soil conservation, and
the maximum use of natural resour-
ces there are many things to be said.
AS an aid to river navigation there
is much more. The locks and seven
pools of the Tennessee Valley Au-
thority open up navigation from the
Ohio river all the way to Knoxville,
for vessels drawing nine feet.-How-

In an address, DR.. Dan B. Brum-
mitt, editor Of the Christian Advo-
cate, Central and Northwestern edi-
tions, told of the major visible in
gradients of the new Methodism.
The raw materials of the Methodist
Union are of two sorts: People and
possession. We shall have over T.
100000 members in $4,000 congre-
cations served by 27,000 ministers.
The property of the united churches
is valued at $650,OO0, 1000 and it's
actual income for all purposes is
close to $80,000,0OO. There are $50
schools and colleges, Sc hospitals,
and 134 homes of various types.
What was described as one of the
most religious inaugurals in the his
wealths was that of Governor w.
Lee O'Daniel of Texas, at Austin.
Texas. Governor James V. Alfred
delivered Bible to his successor
with a suitable passage marked. The
incoming governor then delivered a
brief address before $4,000 people,
in which he emphasized that he had
run for office on the platform or the
Ten Commandments and the Golden
Rule He than asked the people or
Texas to pray for him in tnelr

pany has inaugurated department
devoted to religious activities. Miss
Arleen Soares, who edits Christian
Herald's radio page, has been ap-
pointed to this new religious de-
partment.
While other churches do much
talking about the rights of minori-
ties and the horrors of religious
and racial persecution, the Society
of Friends continues its character

ously engaged in helping the CON
