Sentence
Sermon
BY Rev. Frank
Lowry

1. Some peoples religion acts
like the new style slipper-when
you think they are about to
step up, it is hen they show you
their heel.
2. A lot Of people seem to
think Christianity is something
to talk about rather than to
walk about.
8. They take up a lot Of time
in empty phases and deprive
their God of His worthy praises.
4. They would rather have you
tink tey are better than they are,
yet would never for Christianity,
bear the slightest scar.
5. To them, Christianity must
not interfere with their living,
and Heaven must not pull too
heavily on their giving.
6. Theyy want to take part in
nearly every worldly practice,
don't want to be told that this
is the next door to becoming
reckless.
z. Christianity to them is a
matter of convenience, and they
keep their own books on conse-
Grafton and repentance.
s. To them, nearly everything
is nothing, and not too serious to
set aside, and when command
ments cut in too close, they find
it easy to let them slide.
8. Thus the church is being
ridiculed and called a fancy
racket; all because too many Of
her followers have double-cross-
ed and impaired her power and
spirit.
10. The power of Cd is the
same today, tomorrow, and ever
will be; but you and I must not
continually keep His only be-
gotten son, nailed to a tree,
IL. The Church of God must
this day change this terrible
situation, and can only redeem
itself by earnest prayer and con-
secration.
u. It then becomes the. per-
sonal Obligation of every clever
and follower Of Christ, to daily
emulate their matchless Exem-
plar and 9 willing to pay the
,rice. zI

Acting Capt Kinsey Blueitt,

Green and Carter were arrest

started saving the bars soon
after they were were locked up.
Prisoner Daryl insisted he was

he said, why the men periodical

lpensive than the others because 10
streets converge on the circle:
Connecticut, New Hampshire and
Massachusetts, avenues, Nine
teenth and P streets NV.
Next on the Highway Depart
ment's list is Washington Circle.
This bottleneck lies in the path of
the city's dream project" the K
street express crosstown highway.
A Washington Circle underpass is
planned on the line of K street,
east and west from Twenty-first
to Twenty-seventh streets NV.
The cost may exceed $4,000, 900.
Looking to the future. city en-
gineers are sighting-in on prob
ably the worst bottleneck of the
lot-that created by Mount Vernon
Square. This square, which con-
tains the Central Library, breaks
the continuity of New York and
Massachusetts, avenues, Eighth
street and K street and is abutted
by Ninth and Seventh streets.
Streetcars using New York avenue,
K street, Massachusetts avenue
and Seventh street complicate the
problem there.
Since Mount Vernon Square also
blocks the progress of the K street
expressway, District engineers
hope to tunnel under the square
within the pext 10 years. There
is no estimate on the cost of this
undertaking.
Barney Circle Studied.
Barney Circle. at the western
terminus of the John Philip
Sousa Bridge, was none Of Maj.
L'Enfant's doing. This circle, of
much more recent date, was in
tended to help traffic. but has
become a bad bottleneck. Engi-
neer Commissioner Gordon R.
Young said the District may have
to spend about half a million
dollars soon to correct the situa-
!tion.
i The tentative plan is to dig an
underground terminal for the
streetcars and buses that use
Barney Circle as stop-over
point. Engineers say the street.
car and bus terminal is to blame
for the bad traffic situation on
Pennsylvania avenue Sc. today.
Plans also are underway for
slicing through Logan Circle at
the intersection of Rhode Island
avenue, Thirteenth street, p
street and Vermont avenue NV.
This plan would send Thirteenth
street. the busiest of the spoke
streets, through the middle of
Logan Circle in a north-south
direction. This project would
cost about 100000, it is esti-
mated.
Across the Anacostia River, at
the intersection of Pennsylvania
and Minnesota avenues Sc, lies
another traffic bottleneck. Until
last year this was square, but
the District cut through it in two
places.
Some maps call this road block
Twining Square. but the Highway
stubbornly insists on
calling it L'Enfant Square, after
the father of them all.
