H* ^fckason of Wooefcer as vice preeident o f Cedarville College, with the added flirtt'jre o f Field Representative, is looked upon as an omen’ o f a greater and better future fo r the institution. Prof. Dickason has had a wide experience in college educa­ tional circles through his connection with Wooster University. He has a strong personality and is a fluent speaker on and off tbe platform. He has an intimate knowledge of the require­ ment* o f a school auch as Cedarville has been long proud to call her own. « The new Vice President and Field Representative will be in position to bring many new students here. He has a personal contact with the wealthy men o f the nation that are interested in the kind o f an education possible in Cedarville College. We can confidently predict a more rapid growth of Cedarville Col­ lege under the guiding hands of President W- R« McChesney and Vice President 3.

The bill con­ templates a State fund, administered by "a board o f three mem­ bers to be named by the secretary of state, all drivers to make annual payments to the fund, ” ‘ This is a bit o f experimental legislation that should not be studied briefly or passed in a hurry. It is an excursion into new territory. It cannot be studied thoroughly this session and no effort to pass it shouid.be made, There are sentiment and pity fo r the victims o f auto accidents that haye caused many, to wish there might be a bill of that nature fashioned, but in Mass­ achusetts, the only state that h&s tried it, the plan was not suc­ cessful and today is an admitted failure in its present form.^ No form o f insurance should be based on sentiment, and no surge o f pity in the human heart is justification fo r a costly experiment in that field. • Insurance is a highly organized, scientific line o f business that calls for the, best ability^ in the country when a nO^v field is being pioneered.' Insurance is good only when it rests 'on a scientific actuarial ■basis. Insurance thus far has been written on selected risks, ^It is unsafe to as­ sume records on selected, risks can be duplicated when every applicant must be taken.' It is the reckless and careless risks that make the trouble and.cause the cost to mount higher. The task o f writing a workable measure o f that sort may that has defeated the best insurance minds thus-farv It is no task fo r a novice in the insurance field. Every auto in service should be covered, but the means for securing that desired re­ sult has not yet been found. After the lamentable failure in Massachusetts the lawmakers o f Ohio should beware o f daring the known and Unknown dangers in that field, Let that bill die. —Ohio'State Journal, * W il l th e prom ise s be m a d e g o o d ? During the ■past campaign Republican state leaders ♦promised a business administration if state affairs were intrust­ ed to that political party. The citizens took the party at its promise and turned' over the two branches o f the legislature with every state office to the Republican party. I f we survey the situation in the,legislature correctly there is danger that this promise wRl not be fulfilled to the satisfac­ tion o f Ohioans, Already there are bills introduced that will increase the tax burden $30,000,000 annually in this state. The new increase o f taxes is to be levied in various forms, none of which the consumer can escape. It is not expected that all . these bills will be passed at this session but no doubt enough o f them will be made into laws to increase present taxes con­ siderably. * ! The average member o f the legislature seems to have a mania fo r introducing new bills to create more laws, more taxes or more o f something to harrass the citizenship. .It is- an un­ usual thing that, spy member can get up courage enough to offer, a repealer to do away with much of our foolish legisla­ tion we-have on the statute books ,5 that courts, attorneys or wise men know what it is about. This situation wi ’ 1 continue to exist until the people realise the’ importance o f being closer to legislative members., Negli­ gence to let you representative or senator know how you stand , on legislation means that you must continue to meet the* con­ stant increase in state government which is sustained by direct or indirect taxes, all o f which comes out o f the pockets of the consumers. * CHURCH MERGERS AND OTHER MERGERS This is the day o f mergers not only in churches but in all lines o f business. Every day finds the merging o f different lines Of business and frequently newspapers in the same town or city are merged to reduce overhead expenses. For several weeks there has been much discussion o f mer> gers among the different religious denominations and in fact two or three Ohio branches have already united in one body. We can see nothing wrong, with this movement. We are facing a new economic alignment'in this country and may face more and greater mergers than we have yet experienced. The day o f lpng profits as reaped during the war period has passed and manufacturers must increase production with a reduced overhead to realize a profit. A general movement for .church merger is something new and yet it has been talked o f for some years back. Today we see prominent denominational leaders looking on the situation in a different light, The merger of several o f the leading denominations is not far away unless unforseen developments come to the service. There was the merger o f different Countries in the winning o f the late war. These allies found it necessary to stand to- 'gethed in France to gain the victory. Why cannot it be said that religious denominations have merged,to light a more im­ portant fight against the forces o f evil ? There would be better understanding and fewer difficulties and more financial re sources to command under one strong leadership. THE PUBLIC HAS THE LAST SAY There has been introduced in the legislature a bill that provides a special tax on what is known as chain stores doing business in Ohio. As we understand it this bill would also pro­ hibit all businessmen from cutting prices. Such a measure was probably introduced in the*hope o f thwarting the growth of chain stores, upholding prices, all in the interest o f the smaller merchant. Such a movement if enacted into law evidently would prove a “ two edged sword *1 that might cut both ways. While the small merchants o f the state might favor such a law what would be the attitude o f the public? Can the small merchants expect a general approval from the buying public when effort i* to be made to make price cutting an illegal act? From another angle can such.a law be made constitutional that a man cannot dispose o f his own merchandise or property at a price satisfactory to himself? As to the special tax the chain stores would probably pay it and pass it on to the con­ sumer but the public cannot be fooled and there might be a well grounded public sentiment that would be held against the tonal! merchant in favor o f companies owning chain stores. The cham store companies are large enough, have execu­ tive# with a vision o f the future and financial resources to meet it# eewdttions that would arise following enforcement o f such STATEOFOHIO DEPARTMENT OF AUDITOR OF STATE, Bureauof InspectionandSupervisionof FsfMieOffice* AnnualReportof theClerk of th£ Tillage of Cedarville, Greene County, Ohio : For the Fiscal Year Ending Dsosmbar 8-i, 19SS Population^ 1920 Cento*, 1028 Cedarville, Ohio, February 15th, 1929 I hereby certify the following report to ha correct.

II. Leading Others to Christ (v, 41), As soon as Ahdrew bad ik>uad and become acquainted, with -Christ, he brought bis brother Peter to Christ Christian growth caff only be truly realized In tbe giving o f oneself to the winning of souls. The One who has received, tbe gospel,' the good news, cannot help but proclaim It. III, Confessing Jesus as the Me»- slab, the Son of God (Matt. 16:15-18). The disciples had been with the . •Lord for several years. They had heard His wonderful words and seen His mighty works. Various opinions were extant about Him, It was now necessary for them to have a dellntte conception o f Him: Examination came after tbe period o f school life. As the Master Teacher, Jesns knew wbnt it meant to the disciples to have a right,, conception of Himself, He knew the trying ordeal through which they would be called npon.to paps as the time of his crucifixion drew near.' Only as they perceived His deity would they be strength tbe hour of trial. In answer to Jesus’ pointed, personal question, Peter confessed to the absolute deity and .Messiulishlp of Jesus. This conception of Christ ls» essential to salvnfton (John 20:31). ' No one lacking it. wilt ever be'in terested in the winning of souls. Be- - sides, the denial of His deity Is the supreme lie (I John 2:22), L What Peter confessed (v. 10). “Thou art the Christ, the Son o f - the living God.’*. It therefore Involved His Messiahship and deity. This is the burning question of today. Those who have the' right conception 'o f Christ’s person and mission have-no trouble in the realm o f science, phi­ losophy or ethics. 2. Christ’s commendation (v. 17). ' He pronounced him blessed. The evidence that Peter was blessed was that he whs in spiritual, touch'with the heavenly Father. His conception Of Christ was not revested by flesh gnd blood. - 8. Peter’s, blessing (v, 18). Christ declared that he should be­ come a foundation stone In His church. ChriBt Himself Is the chief cornerstone on which the church Is built Christ’s person and Messiah- ship were confessed by- Peter, and oh- , this rock is laid the foundation of apostles and prophets (Eph. 2:20), All believers are living stones of this house (I Peter 2:5). IV. -Peter’s Restoration (John 21:15- 10 ). ' Peter grievously sinned, in denying the Lord, bnt he made confession, glieddlng bitter tears over bis sin and folly.

L Those beginning the Christian life, babes la Christ, “Feea my lambs.” The word “feed’* means more than in­ struction, It applies to the surround­ ings, influences and examples. 2. The mature, ones, "Feed my sheep.” This seem* to mean .’ ’shepherd my sheep.” The mature class of believers not only need food, bnt discipline. They need correction and guidance, 8. The aged Christians, ’ ’Feed My Sheep,” The word “feed” here is much the same as In the first case. This la a service greatly needed today, in many places the old people are greatly neg­ lected.
