GOD MADE TO ORDER

The people of the first dispensation
were discontinued because they wanted
God that they could see without max
ing any effort; they wanted to con-
tinue in sin and yet walk as Enoch
and talk as Moses with God. Thew
wanted God that they could meet on
their street corners, they wanted to
see the creator they worshipped and
cared not for the works of the Creator.
For the satisfying of this request idol
airy received its power and won it's
way into the hearts of a wicked gen
Grafton. Idolatry was not started
among atheists or sinners but the
church people of that day who dis
agreed with Gods method of salvation
and started a method of their own in
which sin could be justified.
God promised his phophets, through
which he promised all the people that a
God shall come whom they would meet
on their street corners, who shall walk
and talk with them yet they be their
SINS, with whom they could dine. to
whom they could tell their sorrows:
for indeed He was coming to unshackle
the chains of the slaves, to give a
yoke that would be easy and to make
burdens light. Isiah saw coming to
give food to the hungry living waters
to those that thirst and he was to be
called ounsellor-mightv
God-Prince of Peace and everlasting
Father.
They waited eagerly for the full
tillment of this promise; they imagined
rich and mighty king to take the seat
OF Pharoah, to abide in Holy Temples
and make use of gilded chariots. They
looked for rich robes, beautiful stature
and kingdom in which JOY and peace
would always abound. They looked
for His army of soldiers to DESTROY the
Romans for this man was not only to
be King, but King of all Kings. a
Lord above all Lords, Priest above
all Priests; oh yes-He was to be a
doctor but doctor above all doctors !.
Solomon had his logic but he was to
be counsellor greater than their
Solomon; Moses gave the law, but he
was to give the laws greater than all
laws; Moses promised them the
promise land, but he promised them a
home greater than all homes.-a king
dom above all kingdoms.
But the people could not see how
such a promise could be fulfilled by

opposition to apartment house con-
struction in the area after Maj. E
Brooke Lee, representing developers
Of the project, defended the plan at
meeting in Ascension Church
Parish Hall, Silver Spring, Md.
The civic group met to perfect
its plans of opposition to be voiced
at a rezoning hearing at pm. on
June 19 in the Liquor Dispensary
Building in Silver Spring. The
hearing involves the request of
Sligo Park Properties. Inc. to re-
zone tract adjacent to Sligo Park
way from residential A to residen-
tial c.
The property has already been
thus "rezoned," but because of a
technical error in the legal adver-
tisement the zoning reclassif1cation
must be acted upon again by the
Board of County Commissioners.
Maj. Lee, representing Sligo Park
Properties. Inc, said he sought to
Convert" home owners to his way

bility of apartments.
Clarence Smith said the people
fear the encroachment of apart
ments and their effect on home
values.

which opposed action by the Mont
eomery County Civic Federation.
Last week the federation voiced
opposition to the erection of apart
ments anywhere in the county.

pressed the view that proper PLAN
ming would result in the placement
OF apartments in suitable areas.

toned the value of the Maryland

bracing the metropolitan area. He
requested that the commission pre-
pare a zoning map for the metro
politan area covering the next five

declare a moratorium" on rezoning
until after such zoning map has
been prepared
