Now we are face to face with a new circumnavigation of the globe—hby “mean of modern airship—a feat that would have been thought impossible even a few years ago. The Graf Zeppelin is now in the midst of its round-the world tour-from ‘Lakehurst, N. J., to Lakehurst, N. J., with only three stops in between. Think of it. Never yet has there been such an undertaking and every indication points to complete success. % The first jump from Iakehurst to Germany, was accomplished in the ‘record time of 55: hours, without mishap. : 7 : Day by day the eyes of the world are focused bn this great, epoch making flight—an event that will loom far larger in the history books of the future that the famous feat of Magellan. ; The flight of Dr. Eckener and his crew presages a new era of progress—it ~ bas the 'most vital bearing on future commerce and travel. All hail the Graf Zeppelin! : ~ Lehman Avenue | - : International Sunday School Lesson : REBUILDING THE TEMPLE Ezra 3:10; 6:14-16; Psalm 84:1-4 Rev. Samuel’ D. Price, D. D. ‘ Return from Babylon had been for a purpose and that was to re-establish ~ former conditions in the land from which the Jews had been taken into capitivity. Attention was naturally first given to homes for their families. ~ Then came attention to the rebuilding of the Templep. While one can ap- proach Jehovah from anywhere religious experiences in all lands has shown Ty that formal places help greatly in ‘developing right habits in prayer. We have our special places in our homes where we involuntarily go when we desire to approach the Throne. Then we have the Holy Sabbath and on that day owe joint with others in worship at a common place. "The return of the seventh month, in which there are so many sacred days for the Jews, resulting in the climaxing of their purpose to enter upch the great undertaking of building again the Temple on Mount Moriah, which had been a place of Jehovistic worshipp since Abram replaced Isaac with the rom for the sacrifice. : This second Temple was larger at the base than the one erected by Solomon, though not as high. National conditions were such that the rich ornamentations could not be as elaborate as before, for their resources were greatly lessened now. It was a Temple to stir the heart of any. Throngs were in the Temple area within the city and multitudes more had taken their places on ‘the opposite side of the Kedron valley, now known as the Mount of Olives, which overlooked Jerusalem. They were confused by the sounds during the ceremony. Rejoicing was heard and also the sound of lamenta- tion, for 'many of the older Hebrews could consider only the glory of the for- timer Temple. When the past overclouds the present incentive is taken from undertakings that are close at hand. : Read from Ezra 3:1-6:22 for the full context. Serious problems had to be faced. For example, the Samaritans wanted to assist and were refused. These were colonists from among the northern tribes who had intermarried _ with the heathen tribes. In John 4 it will be noted that in New Testament © times the Jews had no dealings with the Samaritans. Hindrances also arcse as poison letters were written to the king in Babylon, in an effort to prevent the working going forward. Credit must be given to the prophets Zechariah and Haggai for injecting enough spirit-into the speople so that the record could be “They builded and finished it.” A 'most practical applicatoin of the lesson is to survey your own church property and see what needs attention. # 4 ¢ : For angel bands bear her safe o'er : IN MEMORY OF MRS.

PA, \Beautifies Creek and Surroundings Ray Shiber Landscaping Banks of Brook Which Run Through His Property ‘One “of the beauty spots of Dallas is going -to be, the property of Ray Shiber, located on Center Hill Road, between the street car and’ Le- high Valley tracks. The two “homey” bungalows occupied by the Shibers and the Gebhardts are surrounded by a riot of color from spring till late Autumn. The lawns are wide and smooth and perhaps the most a,ttractive detail of all is the brook which divides itself and runs on each side of Mr. Shiber’s home, then flows back again into a single channel. Last year Mr. Gebhardt built a small dam and stocked his pool with fish. The bank is lovely with ferns and two low-leaning willows. There are rustic seats and a low rustic bridge. Now, Mr. Shiber is widening the stream-on the other side of his home, and land- scaping the banks and lawn back -to the car track. It's a beautiful spot—- a spot to inspire pride in Dallas folk, and envy in their less fortunate city friends.

They drove first to Trenton, N. J., where they visited friends, then to Lakehurst to see the Graf Zeppelin. From there they motored up the Hudson to Mon- treal and the Thousand Islands. After some time there they visited Toronto, then followed the Lake drive to Buf- falo and Niagara Falls. Not the least beautiful part of their trip was the return through Pennsylvania by way of Erie and Cambridge Springs, where they stopped for short visits with History Of Dallas (Continued From Last Week) While on the subject of roads, a few dates may be noted when some of the earlier roads of that country were pet.- tioned for, laid out or opened. At August sessions, 1804, the petition of Zacariah Hartshoof and others was read asking for viewers to be ap- pointed to lay out a road from James Landon’s saw-mill, the nearest and best route to the bridge near William Truck’s grist-mill, whereupon the court appointed viewers. No report was was made, and nothing more seems to have been done with this petition. At January sessions, 1806, the peti- tion of Samuel Allen and others was read praying for viewers to be ap- pointed to lay out a road from Dallas and Baldwin's Mills (afterwards calltd Huntsville) to intersect the road that was laid out from Mhoopany to Wilkes-Barre (old state road, now en- tirely opened, superseded by road of 1820, hereinafter mentioned), at or near William Truck’s grist-mill. The said road to begin at or near Mr. Fos- ter’'s. Whereupon the court appointed John Goss, Zacariah Hartshoof, Philip Meyers, John Tuttle, Elijah Shoemaker and Elisha, Atherton to view the ground proposed for said road, etc. At November sessions, 1806,, the viewers returned a road as follows, leading from Fuller & Baldwin’s Mills (Hunts- ville) to William Truck’s mill (Trucks- ville) : Beginning at a stake and stones near Mr. Foster's, which is the center of the road; from thence south, 663 degrees 75 perches to a stake mm the Reynolds ‘meadow: from .thence south 40 degrees east, 92 perches to a stake: thence north, 72 degrees east, 128 perches to a stake; thence north, 54 degrees east, 56 perches to where it intersects with road that leads from Mehoopany to Wilkes-Barre, one ‘mile and seventy-one perches long. This re- port was confirmed and the road opened. At January sessions, 1807, a road was ordered from “near where Cephas Cone formerly lived in Exeter by Alexander Lord’s to intersect the road leading from Northumberland to Wilkes-Barre near John Kelley’s.” At November sessions, 1819, a road was ordered in Dallas, beginning at a large white pine tree near Jonah Mc- Clellon’s (where MRaub’s hotel now stands), and on road leading .from Jacob Rice's mill (formerly Truck’s mill at Trucksville) to uper part of Dallas township via “John Orr's im- provement,” west, ete., “to a road lead- ing from Baldwin's Mills (Huntsville) to Harvey's Lake. The above road runs fifteen perches through impprove- Oo ‘ment of Jonah McClellon’s and thirty perches through an improvement of Jona. McClellon’s and thirty perches through an improvement of John Orr.” (This is the present road from Dallas to Harvey's Lake). 1820. Road was laid out “from pub- lic road near lint of William Honey- well” (corner east of Goss school house), “northeast via corner by Con- rad Kunkle’'s mill, ete. to Northumber- land.” g (Continued Next Week) | Sa ain rela gs or Dark sm Church Notes Shavertown M.
