Bruner, minister of the First Christian church spoke on tin -object of “Jesus and Redemption." In the beginning, the speaker pointed out the fact that not so much i- being said about redemption in the church as in former years. “This has been true," he said, “because of the older ideas | and doctrines of the atonement. These 1 ideas have been repulsive to the modern mind, and rather than making an | examination to see whether they icpresented tlie New Testanu nt doctrine ' of redemption, whole group- in the j church have repudiated them, and j along with them tlie whole idea of re- ; I demption through Jesus Christ. This i j has greatly weakened the life of the church and its power in the world.” “In the place of redemption certain substitutes have been offered in recent years. One giotip proposed that I we shall have salvation through edu • cation. The whole machinery of the church has been geared to the pro1 gram of religious education and the ; world is to be -aved in this way." Mr. Bruner quoted one of the out standing lea lei- in the Method!-t church as saying that the fruits of tlie ; program of religious education are not

THE TKl < k LICENSE The city of Greencastle proposes to put a license on tiucks operating in and through the city. But few of the truck- operating here have helped pay for our paved streets. That has l>et n done by ibutting property. If the city can provide an ordinance th t will tax incoming tnf k-, it will add to our city revenue. It will also be a fair tax, we believe, because we have helped provide paved streets on which they operate at no expense to them. They are either benefitting from profit on materials handle'! or on freight rates and should help prv for a Im ! way on which to operate. At the same time the revenue derived from any tax should be taken from the total and the total tax thu reduced in the same pioportion that additional or outside funds are collected. If this is done, the total amount paid by the local property owners should be reduced in the same proportion that additional funds are collected. THE OBSERVER.
