the city commission Tuesday

ed for a cut In light rates for the

The matter is being given
careful consideration by the city

considered Including the fact
that It Is a county hospital and
not a city project The hospital
light bill runs a little over a
a hundred dollars a month at
present
Those presenting the hospital
case were Cleo Coffee Jr hos-
pital manager T D Wiggins

Paul was the tint to see Chris
tfanity as a world religion And hr
lucceeded in having the barrier
it Jewish rites removed from the
work of the gojpel as he convinced
the council at Jerusalem that clr
cumclsion should not be required of
Gentile converts
In Pauls view the law bad been
a schoolmaster to bring men to
Christ The law had defined lln
but had shown the utter impossl
bility of keeping the law against
lin and had prepared men to tun
to Jesus for the propitiation for their
ins and to gain eternal life Thus
was laid down the great truth that
Martin Luther John Wesley and
others preached to a church that
sad como to depend upon Its rites
snd ceremonies
In writing to tht Qslauans Paul
gives his own testimony to the
laving grace of Christ who died
tor him on the cross And the life
Paul lived was by faith In the Son
if God He lived in Christ and
Shrlst Uved In him
So must we live by faith In
Christ that he may live in us and
