Covetousness and Christmas Faith in a Gospel Light
A Christmas season Bible study column argues against covetousness drawn from Exodus 20 17 Luke 12 13 21 and 1 Timothy 6 6 8. It urges readers to seek true liberality of heart over wealth, warns that wealth distorts lives and is not the measure of a person, and emphasizes contentment and souls over social or economic reform. The piece stresses the need for ministers and Christians to model godliness and responsibility, noting that material gain cannot accompany one into eternity.

Michigan Road Faces Financial Collapse and Road Reform
The Michigan Road's funds dwindled as state support faded, prompting a shift to county maintenance under the 1838 act. An 1837 appropriation of 5,000 dollars funded a free bridge over the Eel River in Logansport, while the road’s oversight moved to local supervisors. By 1841 42 the road was reclassified under county control amid deteriorating finances.

The Michigan Road and Its Early Indiana Growth
The article details the 1832 creation of the Commissioner of Michigan Road Lands William Polke and the 1833 34 opening and improvement of the Michigan Road from Logansport to Lake Michigan. It notes settlement patterns, early transportation like the Matilda Barney, lake plain soils, and the shift from turnpikes to canals and eventually railroads as internal improvements expanded, stressing funding shortages and the 1837 money panic shaping Indiana’s transport future.
