FRIENDS LAY OF WEST

With sftnpl but Impressive services, the. corner stone of the .West Richmond Friends' church was laid this afternoon at 3 o'clock. Rev. ' Francis Anscombe, pastor of the South Eighth Street Friends church, opened the ceremonies by the reading of scripture. This was followed by the invocation by Rv. Mile S. Hinckle, pastor of the East Main Street Friends church.

Read Russell's Letter. Mary A. J. Ballard then read letters from former pastors, Rev. Elbert Russell and ReT. Murray S. Kenwortby and from the coming pastor, Rev. Cbarles M. Woodman. All' these letters complimented the rapid growth of West Richmond meeting and expressed best wishes for its future growth. The letter read by the acting pastor, Cbarles E. Tebbetts, made a plea that the new church should stand for the uniting of all churches into one for the service of Jesus Christ. "We are at the dawn of a new era. The church of the future must be a community church, welcoming all of Christ's disciples into His fellowship and work. "The time of denominational emphasis is past. We must be true to our own convictions of truth but in a spirit than can fellowship all that Is of Christ, and all who own Him as their Divine Lord but whose convictions may not be in all respects the same as ours. All should work together for all that shall exhault truth and bring the community about us to Christ's standard of righteousness in all life., business, social, religious and governmental.Regenerate the World. "May this church on this hill top be such a church; its foundation laid firm and deep in Jesus Christ, exemplifying in its membership holy. Godly living, welcoming all of Christ's disciples into its membership and standing always for the highest Ideals in community life and joining with its whole soul in every movement to reach all humanity with the Gospel Continued on Page Three PLANES POUR FIRE ON GAMP SALONIKA May CI French aeroplanes" haver bombarded the German and Bulgarian jencampments ,at Gievgoli. There were numerous casualties. At Koprulu (Veles)' a Zeppelin was destroyed while making a dirigible landing. The dirigible caught in the branches of trees and caught fire. There are important movements of Bulgarian troops in Greek Macedonia, but the military authorities state that there has been no further fighting in the region of Demir-Hissar. TWO TRAFFIC GGPS FOR BUSY CORNERS NEEDED, SAYS CHIEF A report to the police board recommending the appointment of two additional patrolmen, so that traffic officers can be posted at Ninth and Main streets and Seventh and Main streets, may soon be made by Chief of Police Goodwin. "It would be no mistake to provide traffic officers for these two corners right now," Chief Goodwin said today. "Traffic at Ninth and Main streets is, in my opinion, heavier than at Eighth and Main streets, where an officer has been poe ted for several years. Traffio at Seventh and Main streets is almost as great as at Eighth and Main streets. "The Eighth and Main street traffic officer, both on the night and day force, is a very busy man and I know that traffic officers on the two other corners could be kept busy all tire time. Those two corners are now quite dangerous because no supervision over traffic is provided." Chief Goodwin is going to ask the street department to put down white brick or concrete traffio strips on all principal Main street corners, to take the place of the painted traffio lines, when Main street is repaired this sunmer. A carload of brick has been ordered to be used in repairing Main street. Chief Goodwin says it is entirely too expensive maintaining painted traffic lines.

CORNERSTONE SIDE GHUHGH

MINISTERS' GREETING CARRIED TO FRIENDS BY REV. MR. DAVIS Rev. E. E. Davis carried the greetings of the Ministerial Association to the congregation of the West Richmond Friends church at the laying of the corner stone this afternoon. Money spent by a community for the Improvement of church property Is spent In the best way possible, declared the Rev. Mr. Davis. The menacing problems of the earth will eventually be ' solved through the church. "A church when true to Its mission Is a community's greatest asset. "True a church is not an end in Itself but a means to an end and that end is the establishment of the kingdom of God on earth. "The chief work of the church is the ministery of reconciliation. That of bringing men into the right relation with God that He may rule righteously in their lives. "The church is a life saving institution, established for the saving of lives here and now and not alone souls for the future."

ference would be arranged at an early date between the interurban officials and the commissioners, when some agreement will be attempted.

The fact that the company now .is under the complete control of the public utilities commission, however, has changed the situation, according to the commissioners. The commissioners believe, according to Mr. .Mueller, that the street cars running over the bridge cause more deterioration than any other one factor, and consequently, should be made to pay a portion of the cost of s new structure; -t -
