{ by Rev. II. NJ. LittletOn. ,

(By Rev. Y. NJ. Littleton.)
1t is my desire to set forth some
Of the sacred truths contained in
the Holy Book, which you will find
in the prophecy Of Ezekiel, d part of
the 36th and 37th chapters:
Son Of man, can these bones live?
and | answered, o Lord God, Thou
knowest"
God was showing the prophet the
condition Of His chosen people. They
had gone into idolatry and He saw
them in their cast-off condition and
compared them to a valley Of dry
bones. They were very dry.
Now, let us examine some OF the
prophets words and see what they
really mean-whether we must use
literal application or spiritual
application. These dry bones were
not the bones in the tombs because
there are not any dry bones in the
tomb, but these were in the valley
God told the prophet that these bones
represented the whole house OF Is
rael. This includes all Of the twelve
tribes OF Israel. We find where Is
racl says. We are cut as for our part,
and our bones are dried up and scat
tered at the graves mouth God
says He is going to take them out Of
their graves and carry them back to
their own land that He gave to their
fathers, and they shall never be
pulled up any more, but shall in
herit 1T for evermore.
Israel was spiritually dried up
when our Saviour came to His peo-
pie. They received Him not, and
why? Because they had none Of the
Spirit Of God in them. They had
plenty OF leaves, but no fruit. Jesus
compared them to a fig tree, and
said "These three years have
come to thee seeking fruit and found
none"
Thank God, the dry bones will
soon be leaving their national graves
AMI return to their Palestine home
and God speed the time! God says
lie is going to gather His people from
the four quarters Of the earth and
place them back in their own land,

c. Lumpkin, assistant attorney gem
eral, who made the investigation.
incidentally, in connection with
his visit, Capt. Lumpkln was positive
in his conyersa tion with newspaper
men that no possible blame could be
attached to the hospital authorities
as every reasonable precaution vas
taken to guard Vaughn.
The search for the fugitive has
gone Oh umclentingly since he made
his escape, and every avenue through
which he might travel has been
warned to be on the lookout.
An order was handed down by the
court at Greenyillc last Saturday re-
manding Vaughn to that city in the
near future to be placed on trial for
his sanity, with a view to resentenc-
ng him. 1t Is believed that Vaughn
found out in some way about this
order and decided to make his es-
cape before it was too late. It is
thought that Vaughn, knowing a
Greenville county jury refused to ac-
cept the plea Of Bramlett that he
was insane when he killed his
mother-in-law and shot his Sister-ill
law, took the view that he would
meet the same fate if he were taken
back to GreenyilIe.

When Israel comes to the knowl-
edge Of the truth and accepts
Christ as their Saviour, then Gods
perfect law will be established, and
the law will go out from Mount
Zion. which is Jerusalem.
Now, let us examine ourselves and

|DR|TON DOESN'T LIKE
AMERICAN RVET|NG.
Hand Method Superior to Pneu-
matte "Guns," Declares
Visiting Engineer
MEN ovERPAID, HE SAYS

The American system of riveting is
all wrong, in the opinion of Captain Il.
a. Mayor, marine and civil engineer
from Blackpool, England. Captain
Mayor was connected with a shipbuid-
ing company in Scotland for sixteen
years. When he left in 1914 to go to
war he was foreman riveter.
Captain Mayor served in France from
the beginning of the war until eight
days before the armisticc was signed.
He holds the Victoria Cross. the Dis
tiuguished Service Order, the Distin-
guished Conduct Medal. the Military
Medal, the Legion Of Honor. the Mons
Medal and the Russian Order of st.
George. He was wounded three times
and has served in the cavalry. infantry,
artillery, air service and Royal Engi-
neers. His right eye was blown out
n week before the armistice was signed.
The captain has come TO this country
on personal business, and since his ar
rival several months ago has visited
number of the largest government ship
yards.
''The Hog Island and Bristol ship
yards are fine constructions, the cap
tain said 'but an awful waste of
money. Both yards are more up-to-
date than any other yards | have ever
been in, but the men are getting entirely
TOO much money for the kind of work
they aresdoing.
"In England all the riycting is done
by hand: here you have the newer style.
pneumatic riveting: and I personally
don't think that it is anywhere near as
efficient in the long run as the old hand
system. You might be able to drive
more rivets in a day that way. but after
they are done the majority have to br
repunched and you waste more time in
the end and they don't last as long.
Nothing" Captain Mayor said. has
or ever will be invented to adequately
take the place of hand rivPting. There
is too much vibration. When they're
done by hand they are tight.
sIf America gets the right men at the
head your American shipping will ex-
eeed even that of Great Britain Cap
tain Mayor added.
Captain Mayor commented on our SOL
diers on the other side. when l first
saw them in Blackpool. England. they
were the shabbiest lot of soldiers l ever
saw-men on parade going down the
street with gun in one hand and
niece of bread in the other. But when
1T came to fighting, they certainly were
A-1."
Captain Mayor. his sixteen German
planes to his credit, is extremely mod
est about his achievements and has
decided dread of newspaper men.
! The foreman of riveters at Hog Is
land. Peter Innis. who has been in
the trade for thirty six years, IN an
swer to Captain Mayor, said:
.swe use the Boyer gun, a pneumatic
hammer, which in my estimation. greatly
rrexceeds in efficiency the old hand
method. worked the old hand system
far allong time. and ] find that in com
tisirison to it the Boyer gun. which Is
,fsed in the Bristol shipyards as well
aE1here. is much faster and as good as
the hand way of driving rivets. per

Lack of funds is the handicap Of the
Board of Education, its officers declare.
The condition is further emphasized this
year as a result of the increase in sal
aries to teachers, made possible by the
new law passed by the state Legisla-
ture. No appropriations to meet the
increase have as yet come from the
state, and the funds, amounting to
81 800, 900 for the year and dating from
June 30 last, will have to be provided
by the Board of Education from its
own treasury.
