Ifficult to conceive of any [e prosuraptiOus, daring, aad >us, than for a man to hand against himself, or ( another, and take away his the life of a benig, bearing, 1 in bis sinfulness, something of , [e Great Image of God. kCan you < onceive of anything as ' viewed, more sacred than life, ' ipt God Himself? And can you feiVe of any one act of a human j more dreadful than another, ? w act of murder or of suicide? ! ;hyself no harm" is an utter- j ;hat rings in the soul and rings ' ;hout the universe. A PRAYER od who hast given to til life ireath and all things, teach us, I ieseech Thee, the Sacredness ana j ty of Human Life ? our own j d others ? that we are made in v Image and after Thy Likeness, f'-'i! man is incalculably superior to , ;i fl other works ol' God, that the dis tancs between him and the lower an ?nals is not a difference of degree but a difference in kind, yea, that i difference is so great that we ! - r?iust use a new word to describ? the | , ci ifrin of humanity, and if we speak; of the stars and the earth, the tree3 ? id the flowers, the fishes and the' ' vd<- and the beasts as Thy works,! whpn man appears we must find a ?f->fcler name and say: This is more j ""fln^rrvit' - is God's child, * though fallen and disordered and sunken in sin and misery. Bring home to us the thought that to have upon our hearts the im press of the Divine Nature and know that there is no human being in whom that treasure is not hidden, and from whose stained and dirty soul Christ cannot brine out that re flection of His face, that indeed is to feel the sacredness and dignity and value of humanity and to know that man >B better than a sheep. Above all, impress upon our hearts the great,flfact of man's immortality ? for a wing formed in the Divine Image, a being, capable of reflecting the Divine Holiness, is a being so lofty that he must have also the ca pacity of entering into a life which is not dependent upon the nourish ment of meat and drink, and in which the spiritual powers shall be delivered from tha bondage of sense and the fear of death, so that they mny be unfolded to perfection. Give us grace, 0 God, in the light of these thoughts, tc hold life sac red ? our own life and that of oth ers, and may the utterance of the great Apostle ring in our souls, and the souls of all men. "Do thyself no harm," either in thought, word or deed. And unto Thee shall be the praise now and ever, Amen. ? C. D. C. SHE IS GONE In Memory of Mrs. L. M. Anders j Sht is gone but not forgotten, Never will her memory fade.. Sweetest thoughts will ever linger 'Round the grave where she was 1 laid. It is sad to part with loved ones, And so hard to see them die, But we trust some day to meet her In that land beyond the sky. There the pearly gates were opened And a gentle voice said, "Come,'" Ar.d with sad farewells unspoken, She was safely entered home. Yes, we loved her But the Saviour loved her more, So the angels sweetly called her To that bright and happy shore. i Th? home's dearest friend has left them In this sad world to roam. We trust she has gone to live with Jesus In her eternal home. I Mrs. Anders died April 11, 1929. She was 25 years of age, and left 1 a husbana and three children, who will sadly miss her. She was born in Jackson county August 11 1903, and she was a friend to every one. not at certain times but at all times. ! She was a friend who was a helper when needed. The memory of Mrs. I Anders still lingers 'among her friends. A friend, Annie Price OPERATING COSTS , OF AN AUTOMOBILE Bad Roads Run Cost up Rap idly ? Good Roads Pay Big Dividends (By E. E. DUFFY) The motorist who drives a light six over first class pavement rather than over low type roads does so at a saving Of 2.87 cents a mile. Travel over intermediate road types costs approximately 1.13 cents more than over good pavement. | These are conclusions of Profes sor T. R. Agg and other research workers at Iowa State College, just made public. All items of expenso were considered and properly bal anced with the final figures based on I year 'round travel. | Reports from commercial car op erators all over the United States 'were compiled in making these stud I ies. It is believed that the results of j the observations indicate quite ac 1 curately the greater cost cf low type 'roads, for the reports cover cars op erated und^r all sorts of conditions, through urban and rural traffic, un der diverse climatic conditions and by drivers cf varying degrees of skill and efficiency. Ccnsidering all items of car oper ation expense, such as gasoline, oil, depreciation and so on, the per mile 8.62 cer.ts over low type roads, ".38 cents over intermediate types, and 6.25 cents over first class pavement. Oar operation costs, of course, vary with the size of the car. For example ,the cost of operating a medium four on low type roads is 7.5 cents a mile; on intermediate types, 6.42 cents a mile; and on high type pavement, 5.44 cents. From the collected data, it was determined that if the composite "average" automobile were to be operated entirely over pavement rather than over low type roads, the saving per mile would be 2.06 cents. Intermediate types when changed to high type highways would save th" average driver approximately , one cent a mile. The motorist himself may then cal culate just how much it costs him to drive over roads not of first- quality. With but some 80,000 miles of high type rural highways, most motoring is still over inferior highways. Motor taxes, such as the gasolene tax and the license fee, do not com pare with the bad roads tax, which may insidiously collect a $200 toll from the traveler whose yearly mile age is 10,000. Motor taxes are ac tually good roads taxes and when properly levied and expended they lessen the tariff of mud, tractive re sistance and discomfort. SELL IT? USE A WANT AD Last Call on 1 own 7 axes!
