NOTICE
A World on Fire

We have been taught from
early childhood that the second
coming of Christ the Great
Judgment Day the earth would
be literally burned to a motion
mass, and that God would re-
create this old earth again.
Is such belief. reasonable. Is
it scriptural, and in harmony
with Gods declaration that He
created it not in vain, but to be
inhabited; and that the earth
abideth forever?
Surely the winds of strife and
discomfort have been let loose,
and we see Europe today one
vast confagration of war and
ruin, but the Real Fire that is to
sweep the weole world, is to
come shortly after the conclusion
of this great war in Europe.
This worldwide Social Earth
quake, which will setAthe world
on fire, and involve our own
dear country, will be ably dis
cussed..in the light ofMBiblicaI
Prophecy by A. j. Eshelman, Of
Brooklyn, N. Y, at the Court
House, Okolona. Sunday, Feb.
4th, 300 P. M.

profound sorrow, of the death of
Mrs. J. H. Holder, the wife of
our former pastor, and whereas,
she was the founder and organ
izer of our society, which !. is
named for her; therefore,
Be it resolved. first: That we
express to Brother Holder and
the dear children our deepest
sympathy in this dark hour; and
also our own personal sorrow.
She not only organized our socie-
ty into a working band, but by
her gentleness, patience, indus
try, and helpfulness, inspired us
to dare and to do. We shall ev-
err cherish her memory, and hope
some sweet day to join her in
our Fathers house.
Second, That a copy of these
resolutions be sent the family of
Bro. Holder and a copy be spread

CHRISTMAS GREETINGS,

We are sincerely glad it is once
more our privilege and pleasure to
greet the readers and patrons OF
THE BOURBON NEWS with a
CHEEKY Christmas greeting. 1t seems
but few days ago that we sent a
like message to you, and yet a year
full of wondrous changes has flown
by.
To us no season of the year
awakens so much of tenderness and
fellow-feeling toward all humanity
as the glad Christmas time 1t is
not only a time of well-wishing, but
kindly doing, with a vein of sympa-
thy that would turn no one away
empty-handed, no WORD of love that
might contribute to another's happi-
ness.
1t is the fervent wish of THE

uncertain terms from every depart
ment, that your homes may be
bright with Christmas cheer, the
children of your household happy,
and the great wishes and hopes of
your hearts be realized in abund-

To one and all, Merry Christ
mas and a Happy New Year, and
may your happiness be limited only
by your capacity to enjoy it!
