This years budget brings to
approximately $269,000,000 the
construction investment made by
Ohio Power in a 10-year period
since start of 1946--in improving
and building power plants, sub
stations, transmission and dis
tribution lines and other equip
ment to serve its 432,000 Gus
toners in So counties, Mr.. Haw-
kins said.

nent of 39,791 900 for 1855 rep
'esents an expenditure of
slightly more than 100000 every
lay of the year.
Largest single expenditure in
the construction blueprint is
approximately $8,O00,000 for
nearly so per cent of the cost
of new generating unit to be
installed at Philo Plant, located

of the new unit, scheduled for
operation in mid256, has been
projected at $16,830, 1000.
The new generating unit,
capable of producing 10000
kilowatts, will be the most effici-
ent ever built in this country and
will operate at almost double
the present highest steam pres
sure utilized for power genera
ton, Mr., Hawkins said.
The new budget also includes
funds to start construction ON
Ohio Powers new 225,000-kilo-
watt Unit 3 at Muskingum River

watt generating station-largest

trio Company System. Ohio

lima.
Approximately $5,836,OOO of

cost of $29, ,234,00O will be spent
during 1855. When completed
Muskingum River Plant will rep
resent an investment Of nearly
$85, 100000 and will be one of the
most mooern steam-electric gen.
Grating stations in the world.
In general classifications, the
1855 budget, including both new
construction and improvements
TO existing facilities, was listed
by Mr.. Hawkins as follows:
Power plants, $l5,508,000;
transmission lines, $685. 900;

After the Easter season is over,
many folks will take a little
oreather. The pre-Christmas and
re-Easter days always seem to
De busy with all kinds Of actiVi-
les for everyone; not only jus.
hose in the church. And after
this, then comes the pre-Com-
mencement days in the schools;
then after this, then after this
etc. You and / are all in the same
ooat. Isn't it any wonder that
we Americans are a heap OF
nervous energies burning up our
selves for this and for that and
not knowing for what! Most GER
ainly, the Easter message is
more than victory over death;
It is purposeful living with a
sense Of victory and peace in
what we do, if what we do con-
tributes to ourselves and our
world. If Christ is really alive,
He is concerned about us and
what we do. Each year and each
day, we have to rediscover this
Risen Christ!
This Sunday, l will be attend
ing the Easter Sunrise service at
Caldwell; preaching at Sarahs-
Vile, Pleasant City and Pleasant
Hill churches.
There are two important
countrywide activities coming up
his month. The first is April
q, our Missionary Youth Ban
quet at Caldwell with Miss Max
inc Finley as the guest speaker.
Miss Finley spent three years in
India Mr.. Robert Farmhouse is
in charge Of the banquet, After
Easter, you will be getting the
final information and opportuni-
ties to make your reservations.
The second activity is the follow
ing day, April %, which is a
Vacation Church School In
stitute. The afternoon session
will be for those in the one-room
church; the evening for larger
churches. Again, you will be get
ting details on this in the next

Question What does John the
Baptist mean by the verse in
Matt. 3:8 where he says, Bring
forth therefore fruits meet for
repentance?
Answer: John is speaking to
nose Pharisees and Sadducees
who had come to him to be bap-
tized. However, he could see
that their lives had not changed
one single bit, but that they were
the same individuals that they
lad been before they asked of
MIN the privilege of baptism.
Surely this word of John the
Baptist would teach us that we
are to have such a change in our
lives before we are baptized
that it will be evident to those
with whom we come in contact.
John the Baptist refused to
baptize them because they did
not bring forth a life showing
that they had repented of their
sins. Real repentance is a con-
fession of our sins with a COM
plete change in our lives. The
things of sin are left behind, and
we begin living a new life. Sor-
row for the old life has filled
our hearts until We confessed
our sins and had them forgiven
in the name of Jesus Christ.
Baptism will then follow as a
symbol of the change from the
old life of sin to the new life Of
righteousness. When we come to
be baptized, we must have this
testimony that the old life is
gone and that we are living the
new life in Christ Jesus. Until
this change is brought about we
are not candidates for baptism.
We might be put under the water
and brought up again but it
would mean nothing for we had
not met Jesus in repentance.
Peter in Acts 2:38 said "Re-
pent and be baptized every one
of you in the name of Jesus
Christ for the remission Of sins,
and We shall receive the gift of
the Holy Ghost" Repentance
therefore comes before baptism.
Repentance is the getting rid Of
our sins, and having a change of
heart. This is what John the
Baptist insisted upon with the
Pharisees and Sadducees. Fruit
meet for repentance means in
other words a life that shows the
change that had been wrought
by God when sins have been
forgiven, and the new life that
is begun by the penitent one.
Baptism is a sacred rite and
should not be entered into unless
there has first been a thorough
repentance and change of life
And after baptism this change
should still be definitely main
fest in the life. Too many seen
to think that they can go on ir
sin and sinful practices profes
sin the name Of Christ, becauss
hey have been bap lied.
The Lord bless you and he
you that you will have an eXper
ience that will meet the call Of
John the Baptist, Meet for rep
tenance" and you will also have
the blessing of God with you
