Buzzards Nearly Starve in Unspotted |
Vera Cruz.
(By the Associated Press.)
Vera Cruz. Mexico. March 31. —Vera
Cruz, one the iiestilcuce spot of the
Mexican Gulf, with the buzzards consti
tuting its only sanitary service, has in
♦he few years since the American bom
bardment and occupation of the city in
1014. obliterated its unfavorable reputa
tion of the past. Today it is among the
cleanest and healthiest cities of the sub
tropics. Yellow fever and malaria have
been reduced to a minimum, and other
tropical diseases arc being combatted
successfully.
The buzzards that once clustered about
the city in great numbers are still to be
seen, but they eke out a meagre liveli
hood from the few scraps that gain their
way to the streets. The open sewers
that once ran through the centers of the
thoroughfares have disappeared, and a
modern sewage disposal system has been
installed. During the De La Huerta oc
cupation additional sanitary precautions
were taken, and the federal occupational
authorities are exhausting every means
to render the city free from disease.

arc being made by civic organizations to
hold a great sunrise service in the Isis

Easter morning services in various parts

Atkanta, Oa.. March 20.—Extension
of the new Stone Mountain highway, be

. tii.ua! capital urttlt-the City of the
South, fine been Suggestnd h.v Mayor
Walter Sims, of this city. The sug
gestion was made at a meeting of the
Stone Mountain Highway "Association.
It was pointed out that the highway
now traverses part of the old national
highway established h.v the Atlanta
lotirnal and the New York Herald sev
eral years ago.
Because of the progress that is being
made on the Stone Mountain Confed
erate Memorial that is being carved on
the face of the granite boulder under
the direction of Gntzon Borglum and
under the auspices of the Stone Moun
tain Memorial Association, tile sugges
tion is expected to meet with approval
in the Carolinns, and Virginia, which,
with Georgia, formed part of the Con

The monument being hewn into the
great mass of granite is an epic of the
Con federate cause, the spirit of which
has never been lost in that region
through which Mayor Sims would have
the new highway to pass.

Sunday Greatest Day in
Year For Local Church
Several Fine Services Held at
Trinity Reformed Church
During Day With Hun
dreds in Attendance.
DR. SCHAEFFER IS
CREATING INTEREST
His Fine Sermons of Past
Several Days Have Result
ed In UnusU|l Interest In
Series of Meetings.
Yesterday was one;«f the great days
of the year in Trinity Reformed Church.
“This is a crowning d*y." said Dr. Chas.
E. Schaeffer in *1 to the whole
Sunday school. The .church was filled
for the Sunday school and morning wor
ship. The men’s meeting in the after
noon was largely attended. And the
church was packed full for the evening
service. Dr. Schaeffer was going good
nt the evening service, though it was
the sixth time to speak and the fourth
sermon for the day. And there was
no abatement of his- strength and no
letup in the spirit and passion of his
appeal to the congregation to accept
Jesus as Savior and Lord. Special
music for the day was furnished by a
male quartette of the ejmrehes. Misses
Morrison and Mrs. Wctnble. Mr. J. A.
Peck and son delighted the congrega
tion with special saxaphone selections.
At the 11 o’clock service Dr. Schaeffer!
spoke on the subject, “What Is Reli-'
liion?" Text: Oolossians 3:4 “Christ
—Our Life." Dr. Schaeffer spoke in
part ns follows: These are three iin-.
nortant words. Christ—there is no
better, or bigger word. Christ is the
name that is above eveyy name. Christ
is the fullness of the Godhead bodily. I
“All hail the power of Jesus name.”,
T.ife—no thing in all the world is bigger ,
than life. Tt is greater than love, for
love is nothing apart from life. Life
is the one unsolved mystery that baffles,
and awes man. We do not know fully
the origin and the destiny of life except
that both are in God. Christ associat
ed life with himself and in himself. “T
am tiie Life." Christ is the marvel
of the world and life Is the mystery of
the ages. Our is the connecting word
in this text. And these three words
so full of meaning express the idea that
we can speak in on word —religion. Dr.
Schaeffer defined the term religion thus:
“Religion is the life #£ Gad in the soul
r.f man." ™ *
Religion is the most popular subject
in all the world. Everybody is talking
religion. Tiie front columns of our
daily papers are filled with subject mat
ter abnnt religion. Large metropoli
tan newspapers have religions editors.
Yet, do we have a definite, idea as to
what religion really is? Dr. Schaeffer
declared that religion is not a commodity
that can be bought nnd sold, or •given in
dxchange; not a something that, you
can put on and off like the Sunday
clothes; not something that, is external.
“Nobody ever gets religion.!' declared
Dr. .Schaeffer In irtosl positive tonpx
and with emphasis. The heathen gets
religion. He carries his gods on his
back and puts them where he will. And
they are a burden to him. Our God
carries us. Underneath are the ever
lasting arms. Religion gets yon, your
thought, your impulse, permeates nnd
pervades your whole nature. Christ
lives in your, that is the Christian re
ligion.
Religion is not a creed. Dr. Schaef
fer made brief reference to the debates
and conflicts that are current known as
Modernism and Fundamentalism. Creeds
are intellectual formations of experiences
in individuals or groups. A man may
believe all the creeds and yet not be a
Christian. Then taking a flower from
a vase on the pulpit stand, he declared
“Ron can destroy all the books of botany
and still this flower would be what it
is in all its beauty and fragrance. You
can destroy all the boooks on astronomy
yet the stars will shine tonight in all
their glory. So you can destroy all
the books of theology and religion would
be as potent as ever. Don’t get scared
If some doctrines should go overboard,
religion is not going overboard for it
is a life.”
Likewise Dr. Schaeffer declared re
ligion “is not cultus or worship.” k We
are not Christians merely because we go
to some church. But when you are a
Christian you can’t stay away from
church. The same eternal ought will
take hold of you as it did of the Christ
“I must needs be in my Father’s busi
ness.” Neither is religion conduct or
morality. Heathenism has morality.
Confucius was a great moral teacher.
But when you are n Christian your con
duct will be after that of Jesus of Naz
areth.
Dr. Schaeffer strongly protested
against and denounced the divided life,
the double standard as unchristian. The
mischief of it is that too many are
like the man who says I am an Elder
in the church on Sunday and on Monday
I am a lawyer and I can cheat my
clients. It is this divorce of religion
and life that is the mischief today. If
I am not religious on Monday, I am
putting on on Sunday and therefore I
am not real, not geunion. Jesus de
spised the make-believe religion of liis
day—the pale, melancholy, aenemic,
sickly religion that is put on.
The Christian man lives according to
the natural, normal and legitimate way
of life. He does not deny himself of
legitimate pleasures. He does not live
an unnatural life. If you want a cure
for the sickly life you now live go to
church more regularly, give more of the
money God gives you and pray more fer
vently. ■ Put more life into your re
ligion and put more religion into your
life.
