I originally favored the high level bridge and voted for the resolution at the meeting of the committee of 100 which providedthat we should build a high level bridge if possible. Predicts Litigation. "After numerous conferences and the information I received from the bridge engineer as to the probable cost and the many difficulties involved in the construction of such a bridge I deemed it to be impossible and, therefore, under the resolutions bad a, perfect right to take the attitude I do now. I do not believe that such a fcridge could be constructed and all etaims and costs adjusted for less than five or six hundred thousand dollars &nd more than that, litigation is sure' 0 follow with the railroad company Ind damaged property owners which would delay construction for several years. I believe that immediate necessity requires the construction of 1 bridge at once. SOLDIER'S FATHER THANKS RICHMOND

"Those who have favored the high bridge have had numerous meetings and conferences and hearings before the Commissioners all of which have been given without hindrance or objection, and I, therefore, felt perfectly justified in giving expression to my own views and permit others to do the same. "The petitions which now can be found at the banks for signatures of those persons who feel disposed to do so is the only formal protest in opposition to the high bridge they have endeavored to make and I believe they should have full privilege to present it and without objection from those opposing it who were not molested in their effort to secure the high bridge. Favors Concrete Span. "The Commercial club has taken no action whatever on the bridge question except that they are In favor of

a permanent concrete Dnage, ana

there has been no committee action or instruction to the secretary either from the resident or the board of

directors in relation to the matter,

and my action has been based wnoiiy on my personal convictions as a citizen. E. M. HAAS."

LOVE IS GREAT SAYS DR. RAE IN HIS SERMON

Speaking on "The Lie About Diana," D. J. J. Rae spoke as follows at the First Presbyterian church Sunday: Diana, whose temple at Epheeus was one of the seven wonders of the world, Is now but a name, and the temple but an indifferent ruin. The gospel preached by Paul met squarely the worship of Diana and

won. Diana's devotees might shout for two hours, "Great is Diana," but it was a vain cry and a lie. Represented Sensuous.

Diana represented all that was sensuous and vulgar and the temple was a constant scene of shame and degra

dation. But we are still making the cry. We

are slow to learn. History may dem

onstrate, experience may prove, life may demand, penaltymay warn, retribution may fall but the cry still sounds "great is sensuous pleasure. Means Broken Hearts. There was a sob in the cry in the old days and it is loud today. It comes from broken hearts and wasted lives, and ruined prospects and shame-filled homes. It comes because of the lie. We might let the pleasure mongers go on in their folly and falsity if they would, undo the results of their example and teaching. A message they never had only can accomplish that, and it is a message they feign to despise. Love Makes for Service. "Great is Love." It is the greatest thing in the world, it is the only saving message. Love that finds its joy in being innocent, that fits for most effective service, that is Godlike and that is God.

The sob can not be taken out of the cry "Great is Diana" it is a part of it. We must have a new cry. Our great est need today in our schools, and backed by our homes, and exampled by Bociety is the 6obless cry, the Jubilant cry, "Great is goodness, purity, love."
