OUR MIDGET SERMON “And out of the ground matte the Lord God to grow every tree that is pleasant to the sight and good for food’; the tree of life ' also in the midst of the garden, and the tree of knowledge of good and evil.”—-Gen. 2:9. Everything in nature has its opposite. Light and darkness, height and depth, righteousness and depravity, good and evil, heaven and hell People cause themselves so much misery by their curiosity about something that is none cf their business. The scripture says that God put Adam into.the Garden of Eden to dress it and keep it. He was given full privilege1 * to eat any fruit he wanted. 4 except the fruit of one tree. He could eat the fruit of the tree of life. He was welcome to it. All he had to do was to put forth his hand and pluck the fruit and • eat ift So far as we know he didn’t even need to climb the tree. He c. uld stand on the ground and pick the fruit off the tree. Only one tree in the entire garden was taboo. The tree of knowledge of good and evil. Adam had no need of that fruit. God was.ready to supply h m with all the knowledge he needed. He and Eve were happ" as could be The garden of Eden made a perfect bower of a love nest in which they might have enj yed an eternal honeymoon. But along came Satan. " In extreme politeness. no doubt. he He knew all about what God had told the man and the woman. But he aroused the woman’s curiosity. He made her want to know something that was none of her business. So Eve put forth her hand and took of the fruit and ate. Then she bragged to Adam ab ut how much wiser she was than he. “But. Adam you can be wise, too. Just take a bite of this fruit, and you will also be wise.” Adam took the fruit -and ate of it, and then and there Adam and Eve signed their own death warrant, and made arrangements to be driven out of the garden. But they did not eat all of it. They left enough so all the rest of us could eat some, and we have all dne So. We needn’t blame Adam and Eve. All they were after was to be sure their “personal privilege” was not interfered with. s Nevertheless, none of us have ever yet had the “personal privilege” to get back into the Garden of Eden, or even to find out where it is. There was a remedy provided for Adam, however, and that same remedy is provided for all the rest of us—namely, the blood of Jesus Christ, shed upon the cross th t we might live. Physical death we shall all meet, but there is a spiritual Meath called in the Bible, “the second death.” and that we may escape through faith in Jesus Christ. o——— The American Engineering Corneil has inaugurated a? naV tion-widc educational movement to abolish the Department of the Interior and create a new government’ structure to be called Department of Public Works and Domain.

Aristocratic England has been shocked to such A an extent that its favorite sport, fox hunting, may have to be aband ned. The cause of all this trouble is a “workingman’s hunting club” whi h not only chases foxes with all krnds of dogs and vses rifles to kilt but hold hunt breakfasts of bread, pickles, cheese and beer. The other day a of “orthodox” hunters met the workingmen’s party and hostilities were narrowly averted. This old world seems to be going to the demnition bow-bows in more ways than one.

SAVE THE OLD HOADS Twenty three thousand miles of highway were built to grade, or surfaced on state systems in 1924, according to Bureau of Public Roads of U. S. Dept, of Agriculture. It estimates that approximately half of\trie 251,610 miles of roads enjoraced in state highway systems were surfaced at the beginning of 1925, and that more than 17,000 -miles were surfaced with some form of covering tram sand, clay and gravel to sheet asphalt, asphaltic concrete and cement concrete during the single year of 1924. With new’ surveys being added to the state systems yearly and with maintenance bills mounting on our present road systems, it is highly essential that old macadam and gravel roads be salvaged by applying a waterproof surface which will utilize the material already compacted by years of travel. Michngah has successfully saved some of its main traveled gravel highways by applying an asphaltic wearing surface which be built up as time and traffic conditions require, thus saving practically the whole road investment. With thousands of miles of road to pave, it is essential th£t economy and efficiency in construction be the watchword. . — . o Leaders in various lines of food producti n and distribution declare th&t food prices will continue to advance to a higher point. It is claimed that cattle receipts are less and that the supply of canned goods is about exhausted. Well, there’s plenty of corn—and m st of us know that it will sustain life. The Cleveland Board of Education. by a vote of 6 to 1, decided military training of high sch ol st/dents is not essential to either their health or their education, and the system will be discontinued by next June. The Federati n of women’s c’vbs Congress of Mothers, and Parents and Teachers Associations, backed by the Ministers Ass-xriation, are responsible for this •s-’taon, which will no doubt be followed by m’.ny other cities.

But there is reall’y only one reason i why people keep following | * Jesus. Those who keep follow- ( ring Jesus Christ do so because ; they find Him to be the’“Bread !of Life”. The st cry of “Christ feeding the five thousand” is interesting as a miracle, but it is i far more important as a parable lof what Christ can do for the spiritual needs of man.

Reports from 99 cities and 398 towns were used as t K e basis for a comparative study by Charles Kettleb rough, director of the state legislative reference bureau. The reports are for 1923 and 1924. City revenues derived from taxes and fines in 1924 showed a marked increase over the previous year while there wae a de-1 crease in fees, depository inter-j ests and library township taxes, j AH municipal departments, gen-i eral administration, fire and police departments and health and ranitary works increased during fihe same period Three times as much money was spent for public buildings in 1924 as in 1923. WEATHER PROPHETS Abbe Gabriel, a noted French meterologist, f recasts an extremely cold winter in the northern hemispheres. He bases his prediction on the theory of a recurrence about every 200 years of a period of unusually cold weather. This coincides with the prophecy of Dr. Chas. G. Abbott of the Smithsonian Institute, and with that of H. J. Browne a long-distance forecaster in Washington, who says that not only" will the coming winter be severe but there may be no summer in 1926. Almost every weather “goose bone" predicts a long cold winter and very little warm weather next summer. It m?y all come true, but the only thing we can do about it is a to grin and bear it —and pay the gas and coal bills. uo The Soviet government has issued a decree giving all nonRussian ‘ prospectors and residents one month in which to depart from the gold fields. The great mass of gold, estimated at ‘ 400 tons, is ta be for Russians alone. r j

The Board of Adjustment cf the Department of the Interior has recommended to Congress that. $14,317,150 due on 19 reclamation projects, be written off as a loss. While this seems to be a large figure, it is only a drop in the ocean compared to losses by the Shipping Board, airplanes, naval target practice, etc., as a part of the price that must be paid for development. o LOCAL ITEMS News —we want it.

MAYBE YES; MAYBE NO Mrs. Mary T. Norton, new member of Congress from New Jersey, declared last week that tble next Congress will see real liberalizing of the Volstead act. She made the assertion w'hile addressing women’s clubs at Atlantic City. She predicted that the saloon will come backhand that with liberalizing of prohibition, people will turn from strong bootleg liquor to light wines and beer. She deplored the great sum expended in enforcing the dry law, w'hile .others, such as anti-narcotic laws, are being neglected.
