Navy Allots Fundi For Canal; Work Expected To Start Soon As Appraisers Re>c heck Land

Action Of Navy Cuts Red Tape Over Project (Continued from P*re One) Frank D. Holmes, secretary of the Commerce and Navigation board, and other members of the state agency arc expected to make a formal report on the appraisers' findings today to Governor Edison, his War Cabinet and Colonel H. B. Vaughan, Jr n d»s-’ trict Army engineer. New Jersey will contribute $100,000 toward the project to provide rights of way for the canal. The money was appropriated last winter by the Legislature when construction of the canal appeared imminent Delays in passage of the' Omnibus Rivers and Harbors Bill by Congress have held up the project, which was scheduled to have been started March 1. The canal project was one of the principal topics of discussion Tuesday at a War Cabinet meeting in Trenton, at which time Governor Edison, Senator Scott, Assemblyman Boswell and other members of the cabinet discussed the project at length. Under plans of the . canal will cross southern Cape May County from Cape May Harbor to Delaware Bay, crossing Route 4, the principal entrance to Cape May in the vicinity of the recently-built Ocean Drive, and continuing across country through meadows • and woodlands to the ahore of Delaware Bay in the wicinty of New England Creek at North Cape May. Three bridges will be constructed to carry highway and railroad traffic across the canal, which is «*» be 300.feet wide at the water's surface and -100 feet wide at the bottom. Depth of the canal is to be 12 to 15 feet to permit its use by sizeable craft. Construction of the canal will permit vessels to use the inland waterways along the eastern coast line without going to sea. The canal will be a continuation of New Jersey’s inland waterway, and will complete the inland water route between Maine and

norida.

Approved by Army engineers five years ago as an aid to shipping safety, the canal won approval of Congress, but was vetoed by President Roosevelt in •1940 in favor of “more essential projects related to the nation'!

war effort”.

The project was introduced in the following session of Congress, this time as a defense project, and was understood to have Presidential approval. Because other controversial project* eluded in the Omnibus Rivers and Harbors bill, which also contained the county project, no definite action has been taken by the House of Representatives toward appropriatmg funds for the measures.

Meanwhile, most service sta-. tions were completely sold out of gasoline on Tuesday in the Cape May area as motorists made a last-minute rush to fill their tanks before permanent rationing became effective at midnight Tuesday. Groups of 20 or more cars surrounding a gasoline station were common sights here Tuesday, and by late afternoon most tanks were dry as the rush demand exceeded the supply on hand.

activity.

The Resurrection of Jesus from the dead, the forty days of confirmation, toe promise of the Spirit and the Ascension into heaven prepared that small nucleus for the next event foreknown and assured, the event that would change toe entire face and condition of things, and would initiate those fundamental elements, inspirations and procedures destined to transform the world. "Ye shall receive power when the Holy Ghost is come upon you and ye shall be witnesses unto The Spirit came with sensible signs and symbols—the rushing wind and tongues of fire. “They were all filled with the Holy Ghost and began to speak with other tongues as toe Spirit gave them utterenceV, as toe Spirit enabled them to jpeak, with pro-

phetic inspiration.

The unusual occurrence at once brought together a multitude of people^qp confusion, wonder and amazement, which quickly resolitself into the two ever-pres-ent attitudes: one of serious earnest inquiry, “What might this be”?, and that pf hostile unbelief that ever seeks truthless \ explanation, and -jests at serious things:—These are drunk-full of |

new wine.

That earnest "question and that scernful sneer alike required answer, and thereby did occasion. THE INAUGURATION OF THE GOSPEL MINISTRY It presented the first Christian preachers, the first Christian ber-

high abov sion; His truth is higher ir common thinking; His beyond our common practice. Peter made clear "that which was spoken” (v.16): Pentecost AFTER the Cross, the Spirit A ITER the atonement, (w. 22, 3301. The Cross makes the gospel. There is no gospel without

Calvary.

This is tiie glaring omission, the fearful supposition, the law' without the Cross. All .through the holy scriptures is the scarlet thread of redemption against the blackness of human sin. The Mosaic Covenant was sprinkled with blood, the temple daily reeked with toe blood of atonement. That ceased when the Son of Man was lifted up. We are redeemed by toe- precious blood of Christ, the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world. Now it is true “Whosoever shall call on the name «t the Lord shall be saved". Repent and be baptized each one of you and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost. My friends there is no other Saviour. There is no other way. There is no other Gospel.
