condescended to take the form of a man and to accept a position as one under a uthority though He was actually equal with God He did not cease to be equal with God because He did so (John 5:18) No doubt His praying was different from your praying and mine After all the primary purpose of prayer is fellowship Jesus would not have conducted Himself truly as man had He not made Himself dependent by His own voluntary choice Being dependent then He would have to ask for things and rely upon a power outside of Himself It does not mean He lacked that power for Hebrews 2: 14 says that Christ Himself partook of human nature in order that through death He might bring to naught him that had the power of that is the devil WARMING TREND'S TOLL A light rtso in tomporoturos yesterday pbyod of

Improve Expressway Danger Comer It seems to me that a high accident location has been created at one of the expressway exits In leaving the circumferential expressway going east at Perkins and in order to turn north on Perkins you must come to a stop wait tot traffic to clear and then head into Perkins to make the necessary left turn There is a complication because the Perkins overpass over the expressway rises in an arch and obscures the view of traffic approaching over the hill It seems like a left-turner is going to have to be extremely agile to avoid collisions with cars that come zooming over the overpass Shelby County Engineer Paine says that some signs are yet to be placed at this interchange He expects that there will be one cautioning motorists coming over the overpass to drive slowly and be on the 1 ok out for cars a i ng the turn you de-scribe a n-while he urges the left turn-era to play it as safe as possible Using the route Carnes to Southern morning coming to work
