Some Theories
On Jones Point
By JACK JONAS

A couple of theories have
come forth since the request
was made here for informa-
ton about how Jones Point
got its name.
One is that it was named
for Col. Cadwallader Jones,
who had a large land patent
up Accotink Creek. He pat
ented it in 1877.
Col. Jones was Governor of
the Bahamas for four years,
from 1890 to 1894. In 1899,
after he returned to his Vir-
ginia holdings, he drew a
Potomac Valley map, regarded
as excellent for it's time. That
theory seems the most plaus-
ible.
Another theory is that the
name stems from a Jones
Tavern once on the point.
Advertisements for the tav-
ern have been noted in 1918
Alexandria newspapers.
Jones Point was the Virginia
terminal for a Potomac River
ferry from Oxon Hill, Md. This
ferry, dating as early as 174O,
operated under the sponsor
ship of various names, in
succession - West, Anderson,
Thomas and Fox.
A good place for a tavern
In those days was at a ferry
terminus, to catch the hungry
and thirsty after long coach
or horseback rides.
But it had been Jones Point
at least 81 years before the
Jones Tavern ads appeared.
1t was called that in a news
paper account of the laying
of the Districts first boundary
stone there. That account
Said:;
THE mayor and common
atty, together with members
of the different lodges of the
town at 8 o'clock waited on
the commissioners at Mr..
Wise'S, where they dined, and,
after drinking a glass of wine
to the following sentiment,
viz:
May the stone which we
are about to place in the
ground remain an immovable
monument to the wisdom and
unanimity of North America,
the company proceeded to
Jones Point. :"

Logic?

A boy and his father we're
on their way to church a few
Sundays ago when an airplane
passed overhead.
Il want to take an airplane
ride" the boy said, so l can
see God"
The father explained as best
he could that that was not
the way to see God. The best
way, the father told his small
son, was to live a good life,
and that going to church was
the best way to see God.

son asked, in a surprised voice.
Il thought We went there to
pay for the right to sing"

Unseen Guest

Once Jesus invited himself to
dinner at the house Of a very
shady character named Zacchaeus.
After dinner Jesus said, Saliva
ton has come to this house" and
we know that Zacchaeus began to
be different man from that after
noon. In the last book of the New
Testament a picture is drawn of
Christ standing outside a closed
door. IF any one hears my voice
and opens the door, I will come
in :" So Christ saves men by
being their permanent unseen
Guest, by being the Inner Compan-
ion whose very presence is a saw
ing power. Christ is Saviour, not
alone by what he does for men.
but by what he does in men. Being
Saved is more than knowing or
believing; being saved is becom-
ing. by his invitation, host to the
Lord of all.

How does Christ rescue men?
The Bible suggests, and the church
echoes, many answers. Let us look
at three. Christ rescues men by
taking their sins on himself. AS a
modern Christian writer (Hordern)
puts it. he took the rap" for man.
kind. AS St Paul put it, HE who
knew no sin was made to be sin,
for us :" In long-ago battle
for Swiss independence, the story
is that one of the front-line sol
diers seized as many of the enc
my's spears as he could gather in
his arms, and forced himself on
them. thus making by his death a
gap through which his felloW-sol-
diers poured to victory. In North
Carolina, when the United States
government was about to punish
the Cherokee Indians for an al
legged crime, their chief JunaluSka
offered to give his own life if the
government would let his people
90. So he was killed, and his peo-
pie went free These are imperfect

Another way in which Christ
saves is by just being himself.
Once there was a school-room in
which the small boys and girls
seemed to learn a courtesy, a gra-
ciousness of manner, which chill
dren in other rooms did not learn.
Some one who wondered how the
teacher did it, and who knew how
hard it is to teach some children
even the ABC's or of politeness,
asked one of the boys how the
teacher did it. "She don't teach us
at ALL" the small boy said She

Spiritual sings, Il want to be
like Jesus, in my heart" Jesus
saves men from their sins by so
inspiring them that they know
there is nothing better than to be
like Him. If you are learning to
play the piano, you don't learn
best by listening to poor pianos
poorly played. You learn by listen

misunderstanding this matter of
Jesus saving us by his example:
it is to suppose that we must every
day compare him with ourselves,

which our spiritual progress is
charted every day-20fa like Jesus
in 1855, $50 in 1856, and so on.
That is absolutely the wrong way
to do it; all you become is a Phari-
see. The right way is to keep our
mind fixed on Christ, so to love
him in sincere earnest, that we
shall grow more and more like
him. one may say almost without
knowing it. True saints are not
self-conscious.

Saviour comes to the rescue of
men who are chained and beaten,
men who are the victims of their
worst selves, bondsmen of the
devil. Your worst self hates your
best self. Left alone, your best self
has a very slim chance, if any.
You need to be rescued from your
self, and Christ is the reScuer
every man needs.

Point Brush Care
After Job Is Done

If you're painting, or doing
other wood finishing jobs, some
reminders about care and
cleaning Of the paint brush are
given by New York home
furnishings specialists.
"A new brush almost always
has a few loose hairs that
should be removed before you
use It," say these specialists.
They advise rubbing bristles
back and forth across the
hand to remove both dust and
loose hairs. Then wash the
new brush in q cleaning fluid
90 you start the Job not only
with Q new brush but with an
entirely clean brush.
After using the brush, wipe
OF all excess paint or varnish
thoroughly with a cloth and
then brush back and forth on
a clean piece of paper. All
varnish or paint must be re-
moved or it will harden in the
briStles. Then the brush will
never be free of little bits of
this dried material that will
get into new work.
The brush may be cleaned
In from three to five jars of
cleaning fluid, used one after
another until the fluid is
absolutely clean. The cleaning
fluid should be kept in glass
Jars with covers that do not
have rubber inside because the
rubber softens and may drop
into the fluid.
When the brush is clean and
dry, the specialists suggest
wrapping it in metal foil and
storing on a fiat surface to
keep bristles clean and in
shane
