ELECTRICITY IS SUCCESSFUL ED GBOSSJEEim Christiaps Are Negligent, Says Rev. Rutledge In Splendid Sermon Last Night. At the services In the Baptist church last evening tho charge was made that tho Christians of Mnrsh field are not nttondlng to their du ties. Rov. II. I. Rutledge told some plain facts which made his audience think deeply on tho great question of man's responsibility to man. Mr. Rutledgo's text was "no man eared for my soul." He said that to day every attention possible was given to bodily needs but so little given to the soul, Men today do not appreciate tho value of the soul. This can only be realized by knowing what value God places upon It. Ho gave His only son to die lor tne sav ing of the souls of men. God does not undervalue It. We feed nnd care for our bodies and glvo every atten tion to them but the soul, Is neglect ed. "Men In our own city are going on into eternity with their sIhb unfor- given," said Mr. Rutledge.

Thnt electricity Is tho power for logging operations has been practic ally demonstrated In n test thnt tho Smith-Powers Logging Co. has beon making the last few weeks near the Bay City mill. Although tho tests have not been concluded, It Is said that the electric donkey engine has demonstrated that thero Is no doubt of Its being superior to tho steam donkey engine. The tests will prob ably continue for nwhlle yet. It Is expected thnt ns soon as C. A. Smith returns hero, and possibly be fore, that he and A. II. Powers will make arrangements to electrify nil their logging camps. Mr. Powers Is enthuslnEtle over electricity nnd thinks that It will greatly simplify and facilitate the loculnc business. In order to electrify their logging I ramps, an immense electrical plant will have to be Installed at the Smith mill here.
