Wood (See Picture on Last Page) Urging that the edifice has come to symbolize a message of hope and faith In the Divine, Sunday morning Bishop Thomas Nicholson, of the Detroit area, dedicated Christ Methodist Episcopal Church at E. Warren Ave. and Buckingham Road. "This church should be as a beacon on a hill guiding the wanderer," he said.

"It should bring to Its congregation the joy which goes with trust in God. It should sound anew the message of hope which the world needs so much today." Triumph Born of God "Decline of faith in overruling Providence accounts for present conditions," he declared. "Men of all times have known adversities, but those strengthened by faith, have rejoiced. Their triumph is born of their belief in God as a loving father. He quoted statistics showing Americans committed suicide In 1920, while by 1030 the mania had become more common until 21,000 persons were reported as taking their own lives.

"But these figures tell only a part of the story," he continued. "Thousands more committed suicide, but the news never reached the public because of the protection of their friends. "We find that the mania has reached all ranks of life. Recently a prominent Detroit judge took his life, and a college president and a senator were numbered among the suicides. All Encountered Problems "Jesus was confronted by conditions even more trying than those of today, but he drew strength from God.

Paul, Jesus and the Apostles never tried to explain away these conditions. Instead they courageously looked the fncts of life squarely in the face." Ha urged the congregation to regard their new church as a symbol of such faith which would aid them in times of distress. The church was formally presented by E. D. Williamson, chairman of the board of trustees.

Rev. Luther B. Butt, pastor, was In charge of the dedicatory service. Building. Amplifiers will be installed in Capitol Park for the occasion.

Tommy was born in "Little America." the tiny outpost of civilization Commander Byrd founded on the bottom of the world. And ss Mr. Lofgren explained, even a thick-skinned huskie has to move around there to keep warm.

When Commander Byrd's expedition left Norfolk, 95 Labrador huskies were shipped to Dunedin, N. on the Norwegian whaler, the Sir James Clark Ross. Among them were Tommy's sire and dam, St. Lunaire, and Almee. Born In Darkness The funny part about It all was that Tommy didn't see the light of day for four months.

He was born in the dead of Polar winter, when all was dark and the temperature registered 72 degrees below zero. A specially constructed trunk on the rear of Mr. Lofgren's car serves as Tommy's quarters. His diet, Mr. Loefgren said, Is salmon and bran, raw meat and liver.

massacre was denied Sunday night by Prosecuting Attorney Harry S. Toy and Assistant Prosecutor Miles N. Culehan, who have been working on the case. 00 $50 Their comment was: "We only It's a fact! Here's oil heat and incineration at a bargain price for either one. With Rightway you can throw rubbish in the fire door.

It incinerates right on the grates of the heating plant. With most oil burners these grates must be replaced by brickwork, to provide a refactory for the flame. But Rightway is an advanced oil burner. Its refractory is built into the burner. It's a self-contained, complete, oil burn-er, ready to run when it leaves the factory.

So, when we install it, we leave your heating plant just exactly as it was before. We don't remove a grate, a fire door or anything else. Hence, the grates make a perfect incinerator. Let us tell you more about this great new burner. It is listed as standard by all Boards of Safety, approved by 4 famous universities, tested and approved by leading municipal engineers.
