The extension of the w a t e r main
along Old Channel T r a i l , to the city
limits, is, in the e s t i m a t i o n of the
writer, one of the finest/ improvements t h a t has t a k e n place in this
city d u r i n g the p a s t two y e a r s — a n d
t h a t ' s takinpr in a lot of t e r r i t o r y when
one considers all t h a t h a s taken place.
A city t h a t can not o f f e r its residents good w a t e r a n d f i r e protection
is not g i v i n g itself a f a i r break, f o r
it is essential t h a t it be able to o f f e r
these facilities if it ip to become a
desirable place to live—especially in
an a r e a such as this, which h a s become the s u m m e r residence f o r m a n y
out of s t a t e residents.
T h e value of t h a t a r e a along Old
Channel Trail h a s been increased by
the extention of the m a i n . On t h e
o t h e r hand it not only m a k e s it a
more desirable a r e a to live in, and in
which to erect new homes, but it o f .
f e r s such p r o p e r t y o w n e r s f i r e protection—a t h i n g which it h a s h e r e t o f o r e lacked, and which h a s p u t r e s o r t

securities.
We have become so used to good
w a t e r and electric conveniences t h a t
we o f t e n f o r g e t t h e i r g r e a t n e s s . We
also have become so u s e j to these
conveniences, which we now claim as
necessities, t h a t we a r e a p t to for_
g e t the earlier d a y s when such cities
a s Montague did not have these essentials. W i t h o u t a d o u b t m a n y of
the residents of this city can recall
the old p u m p , f r o m which they drew
their w a t e r supply, and t h a n k the
powers t h a t be t h a t they no longer
have to t h a w out the p u m p on a
f r o s t y m o r n i n g before m o t h e r can
g e t b r e a k f a s t . Possibly a g r e a t m a n y
of the y o u n g e r g e n e r a t i o n can recall
j u s t how many pails of w a t e r it took
to fill m o t h e r ' s wash t u b s on a Monday morning.
Also, these s e l f s a m e people can re_

we seem to r e m e m b e r t h a t every one
of these c h a n g e s and i m p r o v e m e n t s
caused a n e a r w a r . When r u n n i n g
water was suggested, there was a
n e a r revolution by some who w e r e
s a t i s f i e d with t h e old p u m p because
they considered w h a t w a s
good
enough f o r t h e i r f a t h e r s w a s good
enough f o r them. In t h e i r minds the
idea w a s j u s t a foolish w a y to spend
money, and if passed, would prove a
burden which the town could never
survive.
Despite their b i t t e r opposition, the
w a t e r m e a s u r e carried. One by one
they accepted the new convenience,
and Montague h a s gone on, p a y i n g

Instead of proving itself an u n s u r .
mountable obstacle, the w a t e r p r o j e c t
has become a g r e a t a s s e t .
The s a m e b i t t e r opposition resulted
when the civic leaders s o u g h t to do

B A N K S HELP B U S I N E S S
In the old d a y s before banks, when a
man bought goodR he usually gave
money in exchange.
«
Today, buNinesa cannot be carried
on in t h i s way. We use many substit u t e s for money, such as checks,
d r a f t s , notes, etc. Millions of dollara
are t r a n s f e r r e d like magic—vast sums
which under the "hand to hand"
methods would require y e a r s to even
count.
Business could not
use these
modern methods without banks, any
more than trains could run without
tracks.
Banks, in f a d , have laid the tracks
upon which husinetts proceeds s a f e l y

He stared at her; and suddenly

Something shook h e r ; s o m e d a r k

cried defiantly; and then, seeing
his frown, already repentant: "Oh,
F a t h e r , c a n ' t you see t h a t he and

"Nonsense!" he retorted, "you're

" H e doesn't I" she deniea.

" I t m i g h t be better for Dan, and

She cried, in a quick t e r r o r :
" F a t h e r , you m u s t n ' t try to s c a r e

H e looked at her for a long m o m e n t with eyes she h a d never seen

and he managed a wary laugh.
"I'll talk to D a n , " he said. " H e
has some common sense."
" Y o u s h a ' n ' t s a y anything to

And he r e a s s u r e d her with words.

_ERHAl-a there is no mental
quality more necessary to the
happiness, health, pr^xperity,
peace of mind, and success of the
human race than obedience. Harmony Is the proof of obedience to
God's law, while discord is the result
of disobedience to His law. The happiest homes are those wherein the
Golden Rule is obeyed, where the
children are t a u g h t to be obedient
through love, and where the elders
set an example of obedience to divine Principle. God. good.
A little child who has been rightly
taught to obey God. will obey his
parents and his school teachers, and
will have little trouble later In lU'e
li« observing the rules or regulations
of his college or university. This
habit of obedience will be of Inestimable value to him In his business
career; and he will seldom be faund
disregarding the traffic laws or the
civil laws of his city, state, or county.
In the Christian Science textbook,
"Science and Health with Key to the
Scriptures." Mary Daker Eddy writes
(p. 1 8 3 ) : "Divine Mind rightly demands man's entire obedience, affection. and strength. No reservation
is made for any lesser loyalty. Obedience to T r u t h gives man power and
strength." If we observe closely, we
shall find that the great and good
characters In history, and all who
have achieved true success, have
been obedient to their highest sense
of good, and have prospered; for, as
the Bible declares (Isaiah 1 : 1 9 ) .
"If ye be willing and obedient, ye
shall eat the good of the land."
Humility and obedience go hand
in hand. The latter often serves as a
protection from subtle evils. An example of this Is shown in the following Incident. A little girl who from
the cradle had been taught, through
love, to obey her parents Instantly,
was romping with a dog 'In a field
through which ran the main line of
one of the transcontinental railroads.
The father, who was on the opposite
side of the track, called to her to
come to him, which she started to
do. Just as she was reaching the
track, he suddenly discovered the
fast approaching limited, which was
hidden from her view by a building.
There waa no time for words, so he
raised his right hand in a gesture
lo stop, which she obeyed Instantly,
without knowing the reason for the
signal. The child's obedience saved
her from being struck by the train.
Her parents, who witnessed the incident, gave thanks to the F a t h e r of
us all for His law of love.
The Scriptures are rich In promises of blessings to those obedient to
the voice of God. Jeremiah records
God as saying ( 7 : 2 3 ) , "This thing
commanded I them, saying. Obey my
voice, and I will be your God. and
ye shall be my people: and walk >e
ID all the ways that I have commanded you, that It may be well unto
you."
Habit tends to govern our acts.
If wo have formed habits of obedience to God's laws they lead us
aright, while lawlessness leads to
trouble.
In "Miscellaneous Writings" Mrs. Eddy tells us (p. 117),
"God Is the fountain of light, and He
illumines one's way when one is
obedient."
Christ Jesus, our Way-shower, has
set us an Infallible example In nls
unswerving obedience to the F a t h er's laws, and his positive refusal to
accept as law that which enslaves
men, namely, sin. sickness, and
death. His adherence to God's law
was also manifested In obedience to
civil law, as, for Instance, when he
paid the tax or tribute money found
is the fish's mouth. Realizing the
need of being both humanly and
spiritually
law-abiding,
he
eald
(Mark 1 2 : 1 7 ) , "Render to Caesar
the things that are Caesar's, and to
God the things that are God's."
It Is vastly Important for us to
know what are the laws to which we
are yielding obedience, for as Paul
says. "Know ye not. that to whom ye
yield yourselves servants to obey,
his servants ye are to whom ye obey;
whether of sin unto death, or of
obedience unto righteousness?" The
children of Israel were commanded
to partake of the manna which fell
daily for their use. but when In disobedience they tried to store some,
it spoiled. Many lessons are given to
us In the Scriptures of the results of
God's protection of the obedient, and
also of the dire results which befell
the disobedient. In "No and Yes"
(p. 30) Mrs. Eddy writes, "God's law
Is In three words. *1 am All;' and this
perfect law Is ever present to rebuke
any claim of another law."—The
Christian Science Monitor.

Lake made advances to the girl.
They declare Lake hurled a stick of
firewood, which struck his wife on the
head, and that Arthur Bannister, threw
It back at Lake. The squatter collapsed by a cot. upsetting an oil lamp,
and setting fire to the shack.
