Fire destroys residence in Palmer's Crossing The Palmer's Crossing residence of Ruth Dace was destroyed Thursday by fire of undetermined origin. Firemen said the wood-frame dwelling was flattened and all its contents went up in flame. Another Thursday fire was in the apartment of Mary Ann Otis at Roberson Place where an iron left on a board caused trouble about $10 worth, firemen estimated.

"The individuals hears the mesage, believes and becomes a new creature, The ideals are ed in the beatitudes, and they are altogether different from the 'attitudes' of the old creature." Too many people who Christianity have "stereo mouths" the speaker said, in that they talk out of both sides. "Great throngs are hellbent today," he said. "Our influence on others for good or bad is of vital importance, We must give expresto our desire to see others saved. We must go, tell, and make others disciples, In this way we become stronger Christians day." With every, regeneration the Christian becomes like a baseball who has been traded Mr. Windham said.

He is under new management, and his will is not his own. His license is no longer to do as he pleases, but by his daily walk to give living testimony of the transformation.
