CITY CAR KILLS CRIPPLED MAN

Approximately two hundred students were present in the auditorium of the high school building last night to hear Rev. J. J. Rae, pastor of the First Presbyterian church, speak before the members of the Bible school institute. Rev. Rae was introduced by Principal Pickett, who presided. Dr. Rae said in part: "The dependence of Christ for His kingdom's success was three-fold. "First, it depends on the teaching of the truth. He was the Great. Teacher. He was the truth. He came that we might know the truth. His plan involved an acceptance of the truth, of Himself, and by that an ability to teach the truth to others. "The second support of the kingdom's success was the making of manhood. We are to be made by truth. Manhood is the crystalization of truth. The truth we know is the condition of worth and growth. The world waits for manhood and the Christ plan aims at its production. "The third dependence is the gift of j power. God is waiting to waiting to gift the church with power, but can not . add to the gift until the organization is capable of bearing it. : "Upon the inner organization of a , motor depends its power. If an elec-: trician tried to get forty horse power j out of a fifteen horse power motor he would have to pick up the pieces after j the attempt. The condition that the electrician demands is that the mech- j anism be ablp by its organization to j stand the power applied. So God in ! His wisdom works. He does not force j a forty horse power task on a fifteen ! horse power man. but awaits our ca-; pability by the truth to endure the ' power which is ready to he applied for i the world's reformation."

LONDON, April 29. War often reveals the presence of a number of greedy business hyenas, whose only thoughts are of enriching themselves no matter at what cost.

Don't let some one work on your car just for the sake of saving a few pennies now that may cost you several dollars later. If you need anything whatever done to your car, take it to a first class and completely equipped garage, where anything that is needed on it can be done. It is cheaper for you in the long run, and a great deal more satisfactory. The machinery and equipment in our shop is of the latest and most up-to-date type, and with this equipment we can handle your work in a highly satisfactory manner. If you count up at the end of the year, you will find yourself with less expense on your car by having your work done in a well equipped shop like ours, than if some one works on it whose total equipment consists of a few hammers and screw drivers. McConaha's way of doing business should be familiar to you by this time, as we have been serving the public for many years, both in the automobile and our other large lines. There should be no question in your mind as to dealing with us. Last but not least think this over Our garage should be in a better position to give you more for your money than other garages, for this reason. It costs us a great deal less to run our garage department, since it is a part of our other large business, using the same capital, being under the same management, and in dozens of other ways, our exyenses are a great deal less than any other garages costs of operation could possibly be. For this reason can you afford not to give us your business? See our large stock of Goodyear and Nassau, and if you need a red tube, don't fail to see the Thermoid, which is one of the heaviest red tubes on the market. McCon?ha Service Don't forget that this can be made to benefit you a great deal.
