[oted Jewish Christian to Lecture in
wv alfalfa Pres. Church Sunday.

tians Of our town and vicinity rare
privilege OF hearing, first hand, and
from Il Jew, about a people concern
ing whom we know so little.
Admission to Mr.. zimmerman
meeting Is entirely free, and every
Christian who can do so Is cordially
urged to come.
Some idea OF the unfortunate posi-
ton Of the Jews in countries other
than free and liberal America may
he gained from casual remark re-
Gently made by Mr.. Zimmerman in
response to inquiry along this line.
Mr.. Zimemrman Is now q student in
the Columbia Theological Seminary
and his s-active ministerial labors will
be given In the service Of the Lord
Jesus Christ in the broad fields now
opening among the Jews Of America.
Most OF the Jews In this country"
said Mr.. Zimmerman, come, as
came, from Russia. In that country
1t. Is considered an act Of service to
Christ to torture and kill the Jews.
l can recall viyidly many horrible
scenes OF Russian massacres Of Jews.
Jewish mothers have been cruelty
, butchered, their children torn from
them, their homes pillaged. All
these things were done, and even
now are still being done, to Jews by
those who call themselves Christians.
The result Is that the poor Jews ac-
taully believe that all Christians
want to kill Jews. But, whenever
the Jew realizes that this Is not true
OF real Christians in America, 1t be-
comes at once easier to bring the
knowledge OF the Lord Jesus Christ
to these Jews. There are literally
thousands of Jewish conversions in
these days, just because many Chris
tians are now turning to the Jew
with message Of love and sympa-
thy"
Sunday Night Also.
Z Mr.. Zimmerman will also speak at
the 7.3O p. m. service at the Presby-
terian church. In view Of the fact
that there will be no services at
either the Methodist or Baptist
churches, everybody Is urged to at
tend. The speaker comes highly rec
commended to the Christians Of our
town. and State, and IN turning this
opeh-service hour over toNMr. Zfm-
norman 1t Is felt that a splendid op-
portunity presents itself for widen
ing the scope OF usefulness OF this
convert to Christianity from the re-
ligion Of the Jewish people.
You will be most cordially well
coined at both services at the Pres
byterian church next Sunday--11 a.
m. and 7.30 p. M.

w. II. Brewer, who lives on Walhalla
Rural Route No. 3, came in to pay
his subscription to The Courier last
Thursday. He said that he often
noticed that some subscribers come
in and announce that the payment Of
their subscription squares their last
debt. II can't say that" he said,
but have come to pay you what l
owe and some In advance. I don't
believe in only paying for paper
when l have paid everything else,
and If there happens to be some

wrapped up In those words. Too
many view their newspaper obliga-
tions as matters entirely optional.
