To the Editor of The Georgian: I want to ask the following questions of the Protestant ministers ond lay men, or anyone else who la not .con nected with the church of Rome: First. Where end from whence comes the authority for changing God's Sab bath from the seventh day of the week to the first day, or man's Sunday? Second. Front whence com** the au thority for teaching the doctrine of an eternal nnd a literal burning hell? Third. From whence comes the nu- tlw/ity for teaching th* doctrine, "That when wo fall aaleep In death, we go at once to our reward, either heaven or hell? Fourth. From whence come* the au thority for teaching the doctrine of "an Immortal soul, or any other part of mnn which Is Immortal?" My reason for not addressing these question* to member* of the church of Rome also Is this: The Homnn church has come up and acknowledged that she changed God's Sabbath to man’s Sunday, a* Dan.. 7tli chapter, foretold. If the Homnn rhurch Is right In her tinlms, what Is the Pri.trstnnt world keeping Sunday for. In pluee of God's Sabbath? anyone answers these few simple question*. I will ask that they do so In tho Engtl-h language, so thnt others as well ns myself, who are without n finished education, may understand what Is said. I will nsk that they kind ly rsfraln from offering any ■ proof to sustain their position, which Is not con tained In tho Bible. A METHODIST.

WO MEET DEATH IN TRAIN CRASH DENATURED ALCOHOL AS FUEL WILL REDUCE LOSSES BY FIRE According to the beat authorities, th* uie of denatured alcohol may bring an entire revolution In modern meth ods of heating and may have a per ceptible effect upon thc Are loss of tho country, and even affect favorably Its death rate. The greatest reduction tn th* fire too* will be through Its dis placing coal and wood ror us* tn heat ing living routuM. Tha most prolific source nf fires as shown by the recent report of Chief Cummings, of the At- I ante Are department, woe from sparks from chimneys, defective flues and chimneys, and sparks fli’lnff from Are- places. The combuatlon of gaaelted al cohol la so complete that there Is not only no ash. but ho sparks and nn smoke. The carbon of alcohol ts con verted completely Into heat, water and carbonic acid and proof that the com bustion Is perfect Is found In the fact that there Is no yellow In the Item* as there Is In wood and coal. In the In- h ■ forest of hestth, alcohol Is preferable for warming rooms, because no carbon monoxide In formed by the burning. This gas Is directly destructive to Ilf* and Is commonly known os cool gas. Anckhcr advantage of th* alcohol st’ove* that may soon com* In ts that being, open, much nf the water pro duced by (he combustion will escape into thc room lh tho form of vapor-1 this vapor Increase* one's feeling of) warmth so that the actual temperature' of the room need not be kept so high., This Is on the same principle that a damp day in summer seems so mtjch hotter than a dry day.
