ON ST. SIMON ROAD
ENGINEERS ASSIGNED TO TASK
BY STATE HIGHWAY
PEPARTMENT
Brief News items Gathered Here And
There From All Section Of
‘ The State
Brunswick.—That the engineers
who superintended the work upon the
Altamaha bridges at Darien have been
assigned to the task of surveying for
the building of a road from 2 point
near the city to Simons this new work,
is stated by officials of the state high
way department, which is giving Glynn
county this aid in the project.
It is believed that about thirty days
will be requirad for completion of a
survey of the -site of this road. In
cluded in the report of the engineers
tollowing the survey will be the best
and most feasible route from the main
land to the island, the probable cost
of two or three routes suggested, the
number of bridges that will be neces
sary and other information.
That federal aid will be secured in
the building of the road is the confi
dent opinion expressed by C. Miller,
chairman of the board of county com
missioners, who has just returned from
Atlanta, where he conferred with the
state highway officials. He said -that
he talked over the matter with Engi
neer Neel and others connected with
the highway body, and that they as
sured him that the project was con
sidered one of the most important in
the state, and that they were quite
sure federal aid could be secured. =
Surveys made by engineers securedi
by a private company which was first
oreanized to build the road, and out
whose hands the project was sub
juently taken and entrusted to the}
mty, resulted in the estimate that
e road could be constructed at al
cost of less than $200,000, and that this
sum would include two small drawl
bridges which would be necessary to
reach the island., This estimate, how
ever, provided that the construction
ol the road begin at a distance of eight
niles through Brunswick. The state
engineers will not only make thor
pugh surveys of this proposed route,
but will suggest others, starting at a
point a great deal nearer Brunswick.
It is believed that as soon as the
state highway department submits a
report, a road bond election will be
called for the -amount recommended
as necessary, and there is little doubt
that such an election was contemplated
for this purpose by the county com
missioners some time ago, but it was
at that time suggested the new sur
veys be made, in order that other es
timates upon the probable cost of the
road might be secured.
Tomato Crops Is Damaged |
Juliette.—The continued wet weath
er has somewhat damaged the tomato
crop in this section, and if it con
tinues much longer the watermelon
crop will be seriously endangered,
farmers state, and the cotton crop will
be greatly injured. It is estimated
that there will not be more than 300
l'ales made in Jones county. The corn
crop in this section is very promising.
Attempt To Dynamite A., B. & A. Train
Cordele.—An attempt to wreck an
Atlanta, Birmingham and Atlantic
freight train by placing dynamite un
der the tracks was made early in the
morning recently, near Hatley, twelve
miles east of Cordele. Some light
damage was done the locomotive, but
the train was delayed for only a short
while. No injuries are reported. Spe
cial agents and detectives are inves
tigating the case.
Increase Sought in Militia Fund
Macon.—Colonel H. D. Russell and
all battalion commanders of the Geor
gia natiomal guard will appear before
the appropriations committee of the
legislature and Governor Hardwick
to present details of what they term
a “deplorable situation” in the housing
of the troops. It is understood that
an appropriation of $32,000 a year,
double the present allowance, will be
asked. Major C. M. Ope, of Dublin
and Major F, A. Whitaker, of this city.
will be with Colonel Russell when the
appeal is made.
Father And Son Give Bond In Killing
Dublin.—Charged with the murder
of Charley Barrs recenmtly, O. L. Mc-
Daniel and his 18-year-old son, of Cald
well, against whom true bills charging
mured were returned recently by the
Laurens grand jury, were granted
Lond of $l,OOO each in a commitment
hearing recently. The Laurens court,
which convened with Judge J. L. Kent
vresiding, disposed of the usual pre
liminaries and have started on a two
Week’s gession.
Fortune In Granite Near Macon
Macon. — Discovery of immense
Quantities of black granite within a
{ow miles of Macon bids fair to make
Macon a big shipping point of the
granite. The first shipment of unfin
ished stone will arrive shortly. The
~‘vne is one of the best grades used
lor monumental purposes. It is esti-
Mated that when properly placed on
the market it will bring not less than
¢ million dollars. An organization for
linishing the stone has been perfected.
The company is capitalized at fifty
thousand dollars,

LESSON FOR SEPTEMBE
R 1
PAUL IN ATHENS.
LESSON TEXT—Acts 17:16-34.
GOLDEN TEXT-In him we live, and
fove, and have our being.—Acts 17:28,
30REFERENC}!} MATERIAL—Luke 4:16-
PRIMARY TOPIC—PauI Telling the
People about God,
JUNIOR TOPIC—PauI in Athens, |
INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOPIC
~ln a Famous Greek City. |
YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC
—Paul In a Center of Learning. Being
Driven from Berea, Paul Fled to Athens,
I. The Idolatry of the Athenians
(v. 16).
Athens was the intellectual metrop
olis of the world at that time, thel
home of the world’s great eloquence
and philosophy. Paul's spirit was‘
stirred within him when he saw the
ity wholly given to idolatry.
11. The Parties Concerned (vv. 17-
21).
True to his usual custom Paul went
into the Jewish synagogue and entered
into earnest argument with the Jews.
From them he turned to such as were
found in the market place. Here he
came into touch with the Epicurean
and Stoic philosophers. The former
were atheistic materialists. They de
nied the doctrine of Creation. They
zave themselves up to sensual in
dulzences since they had no idea of |
future judgment. The latter were|
pantheists, When they heard thel
preaching of Paul they desired to
know what new doctrine he pl'v:lch(wl,l
0 they invited hivi to the Al't'u}u;«uus{
where he might speak to them of hisl
new doctrine. They inquired as to;
what this “babbler” might say. 'J‘hp‘
vord “babbler” means literally “.\‘ewl-i
picxKer.
111. Paul’s Address on Mars’ Hill
(vv. 23-31).
1. The introduction (vv. 22, 23). He
did not accuse them of “superstition”
as the A. V. would make it, but as in
the Am. R. V. he introduces his dis
course in a courteous and conciliatory
mmnner, stating that he perceived that
they were very religious. This he ex
plained by stating that as he was view
ing their city he beheld an altar with
an inscription “To the Unknown God.”
This was his point of contact. He
proceeds at once to connect it with
the idea of the living God, implying
that this altar had been erected' to
Him. He was too wise to begin at
onece to denounce heathenism and
idolatry.
2. The body of his discourse (vv.
24-31).
(1) A declaration concerning God
fvv. 24, 25). (a) He created the
material universe (v. 24). This was a
direct blow at the philosophy of both
‘he Epicureans and the Stoics. He did
not attempt to prove the existence of
God; it needs no proof. The Bible
svervwhere assumes the existence of
a divine being. (b) His spirituality
and immensity (vv. 24, 25). He is
not served with “men’s hands as
though he needed anything,” neither
s He confined by any sort of religious
‘emple. Being essentially spiritual
He demands heart-service, and being
transcendent above all He is not con
fined to earthly temples. (c¢) His ac
tive providence (v. 25). He gives ex
istence, bestows needed gifts, and as
sovereign directs all things.
(2) Declaration concerning man (vv.
26-31). (a) His common origin (v. 28).
This was a blow at the foolish Athen
‘an pride which supposed that they
were superior to all other people. This
proposition he proved from their own
literature (see v. 28). If men are the
offspring of God and bear His like
ness it Is utter folly to make images
as the senseless idols were. (b) Na
tions have their place by the sov
ereign purpose of God (v. 28). The
position and mission of each nation is
of God’s appointment. (¢) Men should
seek God (v. 26). Hlis goodness and
arace in supplying all our needs, and
ordering even the affairs of the na
tions should move man to see and seek
(tod, for He is indeed very near to|
every one; so near that our existence
and movements are all under His con
trol (v. 27). (d) Pressing obligation
to repent (vv. 30, 31). This was his
supreme message. Though God had!
formerly passed over idolatry He now
ealls to all men to repent. The solemn
reason for such action is the coming
day of judgment, the credential of
which is the resurrection of Jesus
('hrist from the dead. The judgment
of God of an unbelieving world is as
sure as this fact. Men will be judged
on the basis of their attitude toward
Jesus Christ,
IV. Result of Paul’s Preaching (vv.
32-34).
1. Some mocked (v. 32).
2. Some procrastinated (v. 32).
3. Some believed (v. 34).
; All to God. ,
You should frequently arouse with
in yourself the desire to give to Go
all the faculties of your soul—that is,
of your mind, to know Him and think
of Him, and of your will, to love Him;
and further seek to consecrate all
your outward senses to Him in all
their actions.—Fenelon.
Christian Unity. :
The spirit of Christian unity must
be cultivated between the different
churches before formal union can be
effected.—Rev, Dr. Douglas. \
