WHAT RELIGION IS Mr. E. H. Sothern, in his account of his experiences with the Young Men's Christian As¬ sociation in France, says-that one of the stated demands of that organization is "Men who inspire by service and pot con¬ vert by argument." In this sentence Is epitomiz¬ ed the tremendous change which religious propaganda has undergone within the last few years. At last religious organiza¬ tions are realizing what re¬ ligion Is. When you get right down to its actual substance, it Isn't a creed, it isn't a mode of conduct, it isn't ethics. It isn't a feeling, although it Involves all these things. It is Personal Influence, It is the radiation of Per¬ sonality. True religion Is the forth- putting of a person dominated by the highest virtues, such as love, mercy, truth and cour¬ age. It makes men hiunan. False religion is the influence of them that are ruled by ar¬ rogance, selfishness, cruelty, and fanaticism. It makes men inhuman. While creed makes some dif¬ ference, as a man's opinion necessarily affects his char¬ acter, and to believe a non- fact is always septic. Its Im¬ portance has In former ages been exaggerated. Christianity is simply the personal influence of the Christ type of man; it is the perpetration of the personal influence of Jesus. Christianity has spread be¬ cause men fall in love with the Christ kind of people. All the money, endow-ments, temples, armies. Defenders of the Faith, arguers. organiza¬ tions and Institutions of Christianity have been, in the long run, liabilities and not assets. The real assets, the real con¬ quering forces of this religion have been the dynamic radi¬ ations from Christlike lives. The Y. M. C. A. has had this truth thrust upon It. It has been wise enough to take. That is the reason it is re¬ ceiving a more universal sup¬ port than ony other religious movement in civilization ever had. Jesus went about doing good. He healed the sick, fed the hungry, made the blind to see and them that mourned to rejoice. He formulated no creed, held no revivals, or¬ ganized no church, state or army. He Just shone. And when the V. M. C. A. men (and this, of course. In¬ cludes similar organizations) pass doughnuts and coffee to tired soldiers, provide recre¬ ation huts, give entertain¬ ments, fumish cigarettes and wTltlng-peper, and altogether cheer and comfort those who ere standing between civiliza¬ tion and its destruction, and when they don't argue and Uy to convert men and impose some formula of belief on them before they help them- they are diring about what Jesus would do. Service through the Y. M. C, A. and the Red Cross, that is the new challenge of Christi¬ anity to the world. And the beauty of it is that it doesn't anger anybody or arouse any opposition. Jews, Mohammedans, Skeptics, and Agnostics smile and say God¬ speed. In Service there is no con¬ tention. —DR. FRANK CRANE The Nazareth Item AN INDEPENDENT FAMILY NEWSPAPER DEVOTED TO LITERATURE. LOCAL ANO GENERAL INTELLIOENCB VOL. XLII NAZARETH, PA., THURSDAY MORNING, MAY 25, 1933 No. 26 LOCAL MODERN HIGHWAY CONSIDERED MASTERPIECE Pottsville Council Views New Type Highway and Comments highly On Type Construction The following members of the Pottsville Council were visitors here Tuesday viewing the flrst cement bound macadam road built In Penn¬ sylvania: Messrs. John B. Bowman, Director of Finance; William L. Stevenson, Director of Public Safety; J. Ronald Wilson. Director of Streets and Public Improvements; George H. Steldle, City Engineer; David A. Thomas, City Supervisor, and Wal¬ ter R. Dinkel, General Sales Mana¬ ger of The Pottsville Building Block Company. All of these gentlemen expressed their opinion as to the advantage ot this type highway compared to any other blacktop construction. Mr. Thomas. City Supervisor, commented very highly on this type construc¬ tion and recommended It in place of Bituminous construction. Mr. Steidle considered this new type construc¬ tion equally as cheap and more economically maintained. The Pire Chief of Pottsville, due to its rough surface, thinks a cement bound ma¬ cadam constructed highway as ideal for .secondary roads. This strip of road between Moores- tow-n and Bath, one mile In length and V6 feet wide was constructed by ROTARV EDUCA¬ TIONAL PROGRAM The weekly dinner session of the Rotary Club was held In the local Y. M. C. A, dining hall on Monday evening with William Silfies in the president's chair. During the ses¬ sion several solos were sung by A. William Day. The guest roster Included the names of Stanley Weaver, Bethle- , hem; Frank Mchallis. Stroudsburg; ! Charles Laubach, Buff Coleman and j Donald Laubach, of Easton. The sixth anniversary of the local club was observed with the present ' and flve past presidents of the club presenting brief summaries of the six objects of Rotary. Rev. Floyd R- Shafer spoke on the ideal of service as the basis of all worthy enterprise. Howard Shimer stressed the second Rotarian object of high ethical standards In business and professions. Oeorge Orim, the third president of the club, presented the application of the ideal of ser¬ vice, personal business and com¬ munity life. P. H. Martin, the fourth president, spoke on the de¬ velopment of acqualnUnce as an opportunity for service. tho State Highway Department last year. A force of 21 men who "nal little experience building this type road did ihe work and the road was opeiird lo traffic after a few days of curin;;. Cement macadam construction dllTers from ordinary macadam in that a heavy fluid mixture of cement sand and water, called "grout" is used to bind the stones together. Instead of oil, tar or asphalt ma¬ terials. The grout is flowed onto a six or seven-inch thickness of clean sandstone and Is then broomed and rolled until It penetrates to the bot¬ tom, forming a monolithic slab, after It cures and hardens. The flrst cost of this construction is said to be no greater, and perhaps less than that of other macadam type. Many citizens of this community are keeping this new road under close observation to determine whether its reputed durability will justify further use, and. from the many views and opinions thus far expressed it seems beyond a doubt but that this type of highway con¬ struction on secondary roads will be favorably considered as compared to any other blacktop. According to figures submitted by state authority the cost of this new type road, considering durability, is very favorable. The so-called Pin¬ chot Road, constructed of macadam is from 4 to 5 inches thick and from 14 to 15 feet wide and the average cost is $7,400 per mite. If 6 inches thick and 18 feet wide $12,000 to >14,000 per mile. The B. S. T. M. blacktop average cost per mile Is $26,000 being 8 Inches thick and 18 feet wide. The average standard concrete highway 9" x 6" X 9" thick by 18 feet wide is $32,000. Cement Bound Macadam construc¬ tion 6 inches thick and 18 feet wide Is $12,000 Iier mile. In the New England states, where the climate is much more rigorous, cement bound macadam roads have been in service for 26 years with virtually negligible maintenance. With the country becoming more and more "road minded" the cement bound rood is receiving a lot of con slderation by highway engineers throughout the country, and many make the trip here to view the mile constructed between Moorestown and Bath.

Mrs. Haldeman, who was SS years old on April 27 last, was one of the liveliest members of the party and proved a flne hostess. She is in excellent health. She possesses a keen mind and remembers events of many years ago with great clear¬ ness. Asked about the present de¬ pression, she says that in her mem¬ ory she has known of no time when conditions were more difficult than I they «-ere during thia depression.

Full Text | WHAT RELIGION IS Mr. E. H. Sothern, in his account of his experiences with the Young Men's Christian As¬ sociation in France, says-that one of the stated demands of that organization is "Men who inspire by service and pot con¬ vert by argument." In this sentence Is epitomiz¬ ed the tremendous change which religious propaganda has undergone within the last few years. At last religious organiza¬ tions are realizing what re¬ ligion Is. When you get right down to its actual substance, it Isn't a creed, it isn't a mode of conduct, it isn't ethics. It isn't a feeling, although it Involves all these things. It is Personal Influence, It is the radiation of Per¬ sonality. True religion Is the forth- putting of a person dominated by the highest virtues, such as love, mercy, truth and cour¬ age. It makes men hiunan. False religion is the influence of them that are ruled by ar¬ rogance, selfishness, cruelty, and fanaticism. It makes men inhuman. While creed makes some dif¬ ference, as a man's opinion necessarily affects his char¬ acter, and to believe a non- fact is always septic. Its Im¬ portance has In former ages been exaggerated. Christianity is simply the personal influence of the Christ type of man; it is the perpetration of the personal influence of Jesus. Christianity has spread be¬ cause men fall in love with the Christ kind of people. All the money, endow-ments, temples, armies. Defenders of the Faith, arguers. organiza¬ tions and Institutions of Christianity have been, in the long run, liabilities and not assets. The real assets, the real con¬ quering forces of this religion have been the dynamic radi¬ ations from Christlike lives. The Y. M. C. A. has had this truth thrust upon It. It has been wise enough to take. That is the reason it is re¬ ceiving a more universal sup¬ port than ony other religious movement in civilization ever had. Jesus went about doing good. He healed the sick, fed the hungry, made the blind to see and them that mourned to rejoice. He formulated no creed, held no revivals, or¬ ganized no church, state or army. He Just shone. And when the V. M. C. A. men (and this, of course. In¬ cludes similar organizations) pass doughnuts and coffee to tired soldiers, provide recre¬ ation huts, give entertain¬ ments, fumish cigarettes and wTltlng-peper, and altogether cheer and comfort those who ere standing between civiliza¬ tion and its destruction, and when they don't argue and Uy to convert men and impose some formula of belief on them before they help them- they are diring about what Jesus would do. Service through the Y. M. C, A. and the Red Cross, that is the new challenge of Christi¬ anity to the world. And the beauty of it is that it doesn't anger anybody or arouse any opposition. Jews, Mohammedans, Skeptics, and Agnostics smile and say God¬ speed. In Service there is no con¬ tention. —DR. FRANK CRANE The Nazareth Item AN INDEPENDENT FAMILY NEWSPAPER DEVOTED TO LITERATURE. LOCAL ANO GENERAL INTELLIOENCB VOL. XLII NAZARETH, PA., THURSDAY MORNING, MAY 25, 1933 No. 26 LOCAL MODERN HIGHWAY CONSIDERED MASTERPIECE Pottsville Council Views New Type Highway and Comments highly On Type Construction The following members of the Pottsville Council were visitors here Tuesday viewing the flrst cement bound macadam road built In Penn¬ sylvania: Messrs. John B. Bowman, Director of Finance; William L. Stevenson, Director of Public Safety; J. Ronald Wilson. Director of Streets and Public Improvements; George H. Steldle, City Engineer; David A. Thomas, City Supervisor, and Wal¬ ter R. Dinkel, General Sales Mana¬ ger of The Pottsville Building Block Company. All of these gentlemen expressed their opinion as to the advantage ot this type highway compared to any other blacktop construction. Mr. Thomas. City Supervisor, commented very highly on this type construc¬ tion and recommended It in place of Bituminous construction. Mr. Steidle considered this new type construc¬ tion equally as cheap and more economically maintained. The Pire Chief of Pottsville, due to its rough surface, thinks a cement bound ma¬ cadam constructed highway as ideal for .secondary roads. This strip of road between Moores- tow-n and Bath, one mile In length and V6 feet wide was constructed by ROTARV EDUCA¬ TIONAL PROGRAM The weekly dinner session of the Rotary Club was held In the local Y. M. C. A, dining hall on Monday evening with William Silfies in the president's chair. During the ses¬ sion several solos were sung by A. William Day. The guest roster Included the names of Stanley Weaver, Bethle- , hem; Frank Mchallis. Stroudsburg; ! Charles Laubach, Buff Coleman and j Donald Laubach, of Easton. The sixth anniversary of the local club was observed with the present ' and flve past presidents of the club presenting brief summaries of the six objects of Rotary. Rev. Floyd R- Shafer spoke on the ideal of service as the basis of all worthy enterprise. Howard Shimer stressed the second Rotarian object of high ethical standards In business and professions. Oeorge Orim, the third president of the club, presented the application of the ideal of ser¬ vice, personal business and com¬ munity life. P. H. Martin, the fourth president, spoke on the de¬ velopment of acqualnUnce as an opportunity for service. tho State Highway Department last year. A force of 21 men who "nal little experience building this type road did ihe work and the road was opeiird lo traffic after a few days of curin;;. Cement macadam construction dllTers from ordinary macadam in that a heavy fluid mixture of cement sand and water, called "grout" is used to bind the stones together. Instead of oil, tar or asphalt ma¬ terials. The grout is flowed onto a six or seven-inch thickness of clean sandstone and Is then broomed and rolled until It penetrates to the bot¬ tom, forming a monolithic slab, after It cures and hardens. The flrst cost of this construction is said to be no greater, and perhaps less than that of other macadam type. Many citizens of this community are keeping this new road under close observation to determine whether its reputed durability will justify further use, and. from the many views and opinions thus far expressed it seems beyond a doubt but that this type of highway con¬ struction on secondary roads will be favorably considered as compared to any other blacktop. According to figures submitted by state authority the cost of this new type road, considering durability, is very favorable. The so-called Pin¬ chot Road, constructed of macadam is from 4 to 5 inches thick and from 14 to 15 feet wide and the average cost is $7,400 per mite. If 6 inches thick and 18 feet wide $12,000 to >14,000 per mile. The B. S. T. M. blacktop average cost per mile Is $26,000 being 8 Inches thick and 18 feet wide. The average standard concrete highway 9" x 6" X 9" thick by 18 feet wide is $32,000. Cement Bound Macadam construc¬ tion 6 inches thick and 18 feet wide Is $12,000 Iier mile. In the New England states, where the climate is much more rigorous, cement bound macadam roads have been in service for 26 years with virtually negligible maintenance. With the country becoming more and more "road minded" the cement bound rood is receiving a lot of con slderation by highway engineers throughout the country, and many make the trip here to view the mile constructed between Moorestown and Bath.

She possesses a keen mind and remembers events of many years ago with great clear¬ ness.

Several months ago Council had several informal meet¬ ing which resulted In a flve year contract being submitted. This con¬ tract however had been based on furnishing 30 — 100 C P Lamps 48 — 250 C P Lamps 35 — 400 C P Lamps with the idea in mind that this would give the Borough better 11- liunination than would be the case with the present Installation con¬ sisting of 31 — 100 C P Lamps 81 — 250 C P Lamps 1 — 400 CP Lamp Council did not see any advantage in a .-set up of this kind as they felt that the tax payers preferred addi¬ tional lights and not larger candle power and requested submission of a contract for one year. As this entailed refigurlng a new rate base and approval by the Public Service Conmu-ssion before said rates could be submit led to Borough Council a delav of two months resulted, and on Wednesday evening they pre¬ sented rates as follows and based on the .same number of lamps as at present In service. One year contract $4990,43 Three year contract ... 4S31 Jl Pive year contract .... 4733J0 Ten year contract 44gS.SS On the basis of present billing of $5294,76 per year, a flve year con¬ tract would show a saving of $561.58 per year as compared with preaent billing, A one year contract would only .show a saving of $364J4 per year with present billing, whe.-eas if the flgures for a one year con¬ tract are compared with a flve year contract, at the end of five yeera there would be a saving of $086.10 through the acceptance of a Ave year contract. However, no dsAnlte action was taken by CouncU in the matter but it Is the Intention to teke deflnlte action at the reguler meet¬ ing to be held in June. n ¦4 |
