80. 49,
Love Gets Things Done
BY
REV. C. M. GRIFFITH
Cecilt0n, Md.
Cecilton, Md.

There is something in your life
which always comes first. No one
knows better than you do just what
it is.
With the majority Of people, the
thing that comes first, always first
is self. But with the true Christian
Christ should come first.
Christ, however, will never come
first in your life unless you really
love Him supremely.
This matter was put squarely up to
Peter by Christ Himself. The occa-
sion was when Jesus was about to
transfer to Peter the responsibility of
carrying on His work.
There was only one qualification
that the Christ desired.
He didn't ask Peter if he had come
from well known family whether he
had money, whether he had universe
ty degree, whether he had connections
with men of power and influence, All
that Christ wanted to know was
whether or not Peter loved him SUI
premely.
Peter felt his heart probed to the
depths when Christ asked him: "Lov-
est thou me more than these?"
Men will go through hell for love.
Love has proven to be the only one
true basis of a continuing faithful
heroic service unto the Christ.
If the service which you are rem
dering is an expression of a personal
love toward the Christ, then discour-
agements, disappointments, criticisms
and even failure, will not stop you.
If your going to Church is the way
by which you express your love to
Jesus, then no rain, or threat of rain
will ever keep you home.
Love will always find its way to
accomplish what it wants to do.

COFFERDAM CRACKS
UNDER HEAVY PRESSURE

One man was drowned and tive
others narrowly escaped death when
a cofferdam, approximately forty
feet below sea-level, collapsed at
Turner's Station, where the Consolida-
ted Gas, Electric & Light Power Com
pany is carrying out an extensive
building program.
The victim of the drowning was G.
w. Gee, 81, of Portsmouth, Ohio. Ed
ward Cross, foreman for the Mclean
Construction Company, contractor on
the job, stated that Gee, along with
Thomas Stanton, of Turner's Station.
and Gerald Stanley, of the 500 block
South Charles street, were working
at the bottom of the cofferdam, which
had been sunk on the edge of the
Patapsco River, where foundations
were being laid for a new pier.
Cross stated that he was standing
at the top of the cofferdam and that
Stanley and Stanton had started to
climb up the forty-foot ladder.
Cross said that he heard a crack
ling sound, and yelled to the men to
hurry, and that Gee, who was still
at the bottom started to scramble
toward the top. Just as Stanley and
Shannon reached the top of the lad
der one of the sides of the dam col
lapsed, and Gee was swept off the
ladder in a rush of water.
A short time later, a diver descend
ed 35 feet into the flooded section and
recovered Gees body. He was pro-
nounced de ad by DR.. A. w. Refer,
Medical Examiner for Baltimore
County.

There aren't many people these
days who don't occasionally serve
bran mullins or rolls. These tasty bits
have really become a regular part Of
our weekly menues at least once dur
ing the month. And, like so many
things, there are several ways for
their preparation-simple and quick
ones made with yeast-but whichever
way made they will do much toward
rounding out any meal. Here they
are in two separate recipes-both ex-
