. _______________, Checks received {or We learn that Willinm Edwaids who is superintendittg the work of improving Ravirptavlenue has contiemncd several hundred ieet‘oi concrete retaining_ wall on the ground that the material was im- properly mixed. We do not learn that there i; anv evidence ut dishonest intent on the part of the contractor. But a ma- chine'mixer is being insedl of a kind that cannot. be depended on tu do ggod work as Ihe superintendent contends "and pvoves-his-éumentiun by showing samples of the conérete which had been in the wall for a week and is nm yet well set. There are two kindi of machines for mixing the ingredients to make con- crete. In one the materials are put into a hopper and thoroughly mixed for about five minuteg more or less and then drawn 05 In the second kind,the maâ€" chine is started, the materials shovelet.‘ into: hopper; water run in and at the same time the mixed mass is being drawn at? and put into the molds“ tu| harden. This second kind is me one be- i in: used to Construct the retaining walls I lor holding the road bed in the Ravine Avenue improvement. The mislurtune is‘very much to be re- gretted for not only does the contractor one his work SI) far asit prove-s impew lect; but it. delays the improvement of the avenue making it possible to {til completing the improvement. of th-- avenue to St. Johns avenue before cold weather sets in: btit it also raises a lack of confidence in the durability ot the im- provement when it is completed. We will hope however that me detect. will not prove general. It is however a timely warning For as we have had our wooden age; our stone age; uur iron age; so now we are mmeliously experimenting in .a con- crete age. We theretore warn our readers that if any one is tontemplaling the use 0| concrete in any‘structures that he take good care that the ' material ie good, at the right kind, of proper pro- portions and especially well mixed. W;- know trom personal experience in form er years that all the other conditions mar be correct, but it the mixing! i§ im- perfect there will he a dismal failure. Suppressimn OfTheSdBOf A few months ago a clergyman; wrote a letter to a certain rural' newspaper opposing the move- ment {or the suppression nf the‘ sale of intoxicants; \Ve would not; question hi's sincerity for ministers are as .human and as fallible asl laymen, but his arguments appearJ .to us verv gauzy. He began by; chiming to be an earnest desirer of temperanee. So clothe saloon keepers. He condemed probition on several counts. This first point was that it interferred with per- souel liberty. That point we an- swered in a recent issue of the News Letter secondly; He says. “If beer and wines are driven out .bOys may be supplied'by unscrup- ulous men. " Who dots not know that if a minor wants adi’ink an unscrupulous agent can always be found to act as ”go between’ and get It for him in spite of law, if the saloon exists. Third: The laws now existiIIg are not enforced. PUBLXSHED EVERY SATURDAY 'A'! H.

It Is the rock of truth. the sure foundation upon which to build and the structure which is built upon that foundation will stand the test however strong the force brought to bear upon it. ' The spiritual Ego cannot be de- stroyed. It is unchangeable. inde- structible. eternal. and when‘ one has awakened to consciousness of this. the true self. he has entered into eternal lifeâ€"the well of water springing up into everlasting life. lesus said unto the woman of Samaria. when she came to the well ofjaocb to draw water. "Who- soever drinkelh of this w‘ater.’ that is, material water which is taken in externally. ”shall thirst again. lBut whosoever drinketh _o( the1 water that lsball give him shall never thirst: but the water that I shall give him shall be in if»: a no” of water springing up into ever lasting life." °He said. also, upon another oc- casion. ”I am the door: by me. if any man 'enter in, he shall be saved.» and shall go in and out and find pasture."
