This TRUTH FIRST

I ls Of several important Bible
T,',ths that the church in mod
I'm times has failed to empha-
size. First and foremost among
ssaso is the great and glorious
l Lno Z Of the Pre-Millennial COM
Nv: n Of Christ and his literal and
ny O reign on earth for a
thousand years.
'DS Come people are expecting the
rhyrch to 90 on in it's present
u Uav Of working till it converts
t lT entire world and brings in
y millennium of peace and hap
niness that way. But such peo-
ne are badly mistaken. If that
were the only chance for a Mil
Iounirm there would never be
me, The Bible plainly shows
that Christ will come BEFORE
The Millennium, destroy the evil
works and governments of men,
and set up his kingdom and
Tpign here on the earth. No
other truth in the Bible is re-
heated so often and emphasized
50 much. People who fail to see
it that way have no excuse ex-
cent that they are just preju-
dice-blind and don't want to see
+ it. Z
This doctrine of the Millen-
mum and the personal. reign of
Christ on earth is not a new
thing, as some uniformed or
thodox people seem to think. II
was plainly taught and particu-
larry emphasized by all the anci-
ent prophets. It was taught by
Christ himself and by all his
apostles, disciples and followers
for three hundred years.
But after about three humid.

Columbia, July 19.-Maximum
canning with minimum sugar is
made necessary by the limited sugar
supply and the Importance Of canning
perishabie fruits and vegetables. Su-
gar now available for home canning
must be sold only i'm accordance with
regulations Of the food administra-
tion-twenty-f pounds per month

situation, the food administration
calls the attention of the housewives
10 several Farmers Bulletins issued
By the United States department Of
agriculture, which may be secured
from that department at Washington

state Council Of Defense to- Put on
statewide Campaign of Education
for Public Health.

Columbia, July REPRESENTATION
OF public health is at all times one of
the greatest of social and economic
problems. AT this time it is also ii
war emergency problem. The great
duty resting on every American citi-
zen today is to devote every possible
ounce OF his energy and effort toward
the winning of the war. Death and
disease are the greatest neutralizers
OF effort. a sick baby, a case Of ma
laria 'Or typhoid practically paralyzes
the energies OF the entire family until
the disease has run its course, and
then the expenses have to be paid and
those who have done the nursing
must rest.
Very many of the most active and
intelligent physicians of the State have
volunteered for war service and there
IS evidence that i'm some sections of
the State there are now too few left
to properly look after the health OF
the people. Others Of our physicians
will be called into service at an early
date which will make the situation
very much more acute.
Under these conditions it would
seem that nothing can be of more i'm
portance than to give the people the
elementary knowledge of how to
avoid preventable diseases and OF how
to protect child life both before and
after birth
The Council of Defense at its last
meeting decided to put on a State
wide campaign of education for pub
lie health. During the past few
weeks our officers have been busy
working out with the State Board OF
Health the plans for this campaign
TX has been decided to hold an insti-
tute here on August 1st and md to
which will be invited many teachers
college professors. ministers. public
will be conducted by the following
experts appointed by the State Board
OF Health:
DR.. T.. A. Hines-Child Welfare.
DIR. Ernest COOper-Tuberculos
DR.. James A. Hayne--Malaria.
Capt FrebOh SimpsOn-Dysentery
and Typhoid
Capt. c. V. Akin-Venerea Dis
eases.
Thorough but technical instruc
tion will he given the workers who
will then return home and endeavor
to reach the entire citizenship OF tho
state through meetings held between
August 3rd and 18th i'm every schoo
district in the State.
A special effort will be made t.
reach town and county officials and
OF maintaining and adequately sup
porting organizations to look after
the public health in every town and
county in the state.
The Council believes that this cam
paign will present n very great OPP
for service and that many
and patriotic men and wo-
men will readily volunteer their time
and efforts We invite all who feel
qualified for this service to commu
nicate with us at our Office in COlum
bia stating their qualifications and
naming the counties they would pre-
fer to operate in.
