HAIL THE GRAF ZEPPELIN
In the sixteenth century Magellan circumnavigated the globe in a sailing
vessel, and in fact has bee drummed into the heads of school _children ever
~~ since as one. of the most progressive .steps taken by man up to that time.
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! :

: 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.

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.

RETURN FROM MOTGR TRIP
Mr. and Mrs. Henry Sipple returned
Thursday from an extensive motor trip
through the east and north. 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
