High Cost Of Letters
Felt by G. ". Council
In Awards to Players

It's a good thing George Washing
ton University has to award only
Wv" instead Of &C. W. u" to
basketball players. Like everything
else the cost Of high lettering is felt
in the land.
Nine men are to receive their, let
tiers in basketball for participating in
a most successful season They won
the District league title.
The council at G. W. U. passed upon
the names Of Witt. Erdall. White.
Underwood. Boteler. Kebler. Hal

found that athletic emblems did not
grow on trees. The emblems could
not be pikced from the air. eonse-
auently the council appropriated as

Little Charley Allen certainly did
his bit by doubling up. Allen decided
to play basketball. although he was
manager Of the team and entitled TO
a letter. He earned one on the floor
and on the managers job and saved
his team not one. but two bits.

Remember Jabber Carey:
Yes. yes, the big guy. Yes, he fought

Jews to re-establish their nation
IN Palestine. They think it will
be just a little dependent nation
and will always be under the
thumb of the big Gentle powers.
But that's where they have got
another guess coming. In a very
few years Israel will be the Big
Power of the world, and the
present big Gentle powers will
have their wings crapped pretty
tolerable sh0rt.
But the new Israel nation will
not be composed of just the
Jews as we know them now. It
will be composed Of Judah (the
present Jews) and Israel (the
Lost Ten Tribes) all brought
back together and reunited in
to one big nation, as the Bible
says they will be. For proof
that the Bible does say this, read
my other article in this issue
called, Judah and Israel"
And so the next war will be
between Restored Israel and the
rest of the world. When Israel
begins to get big and strong the
rest will get jealous O. her and
declare war. IL / am right in
my calculations that war is Ger

WATCH THE PEACE CON
FERENCE.

The next thing on the pro-
gram is, the Big Peace Confer
ence. And never before did a
peace conference have such a
job. The map Of Europe, and
part of Asia and Africa, will
have to be rezmade. New ma
tions will be born and old ma
tions will be reborn.
But from the Bible students
standpoint the most interesting
thing that can possibly happen
at the Conference will be the re-
birth of the Jewish nation.
Other things may or may not
happen, but that one thing is
certain. The Allied Nations
have promised the Jews that
they shall have their Holy Land
and set up their own govern
ment again. England and
France have driven the Turks
out of Palestine, and now there
is nothing to do only for the
Jews to walk in and go to work.
The Old Testament prophets
devote at least a third Of their
space to telling about this very
restoration that we. are now
about to see, and they make it
very plain that the restoration
of the Jews means the end OF
this Age and the beginning of a
New Agean Age of universal
and everlasting peace and hap
piness on earth.
You know the Jews have
never accepted Jesus as their
Messiah, but they are still look
for one to come. They are IN a

high state of expectancy right
now. The prospect of immedi-
ate restoration to their home
land and to national existence
gives them reason to expect that
the coming of their Messiah is
near.
Well, the great King of the
Jews is coming again very soon,
and they are getting back home
just in time to be ready for His
coming. But they don't know it
is going to be the same Jesus
that they crucifed. He will
come this time in exactly the
way and manner that they were
expecting Him to come the
other time, and this, time they
will accept Him.
/ The Lost Tribes of Israel will
be found and joined with the
Jews into a great nation over
which Jesus, the Messiah, will
reign as a personal earthly king
The whole world will come under
His dominion, and the earth will
be filled with the knowledge OF
the glory of the Lord as the
waters cover the sea. Then is
when all our dreams Of peace
and happiness will come true.
But before that happens, The
Jews will be led into accepting
anothera false Messiah very

who will, of course, have a hant
in the Peace Conference. This

Israel is just about to be crush
ed and there seems no hope
right there the true Messiah wi
make His appearance and saw
the day for His Chosen People
Right then they will accept Hin
and right then His glorious reig

A Sermon On
Judah and Israel

They accuse me of always
trying to spring something new
And now if you will double up
your hind leg and sit down on
it and listen a few minutes TIL
try to tell you something else,
that you perhaps never thought
about.
You have read in the Bible
about Judah" and Israel" and
you thought both Of these words
meant the same thing. You
thought they both had reference
to the people that we call the
Jews. Or If you didn't have it
fixed just that way, then you
thought "Israel" meant the
church, or the saved people. A
lot of folks have got that notion
in their noggins. They try to
spiritualize the word Israel and
make it apply to the Christian
people as a whole, without any,
regard to race or blood.
But they are barking up the
wrong tree again. The word
Israel don't mean Christians any
more than it means Jews, and
it certainly don't mean either
-one.Th his here business of try
ing to pull and haul words
around and make them mean
something that they don't mean,
just in order to fit somebody's
fool reed-that's the cause of
so much confusion and mis-
understanding about the Bible.
The word Judah has reference
to the Jews, of course. But we
must remember that the Jews
as we know them today do not
represent the whole family OF
Jacob they are just a very
small part of it.
You know Jacob had another
name besides Jacob. After he
had that wrestling match with
the angel and got the best Of it
God decided that he deserved
some special honor for the deed
1 and so He told Jacob that he
should be called Israel after that
I reckon it was sorter like the
surnames that people have now
and If it had happened in these
days he would have been callee
Jake Israel-just like Bill Jone:
or John Brown.
Well, you know old man Jak'
Israel had twelve boys, and the,
all married and raised families
and it wasn't long until Grandp;
Israel had the biggest family O
descendants in that whole Con

| twelve families grew into
/ tribe, and they were known a
