STILL PREACHING HE'LL FIRE
Editor DaEy Ardmoreite:

f.ultOT Ija&y ATuuIioT'llt'
In your editorial of Friday. May 80
"a Little Lay Sermon" you seem 10
think the world Is growing better. In
that. hope and believe you are correct,
but some of the reasons you give for II
getting better are very much mislead
ing.
You seem to think that in the simple
days of 80 years ago that the doctrine
of a literal burning hell was preached,
but since that time 1t is not being
preached. Now, Mr., Editor, | do not
know to what church you belong or
what church YOU attend, but | do know
that Won are entitled to better knowl
edge of the Bible than you seem to
have.
You say the doctrine of eternal pun
ishment is Infamous" My man! that
is a strong word, at least when you are
speaking of one of the truths of the
Bible Don't you think YOU had better
modify that little? The Bible is plain
on that and il is being preached from
some pulpits yet, one | know of-the
South Ardmore Baptist church-and
will be as long as the present pastor
remains pastor.
Anyway what does the Bible say
about this Infamous doctrine?
Matthew 25.46: "And these shall go
away into everlasting punishment
Matthew 5.22: IF you call your broth
er Il fool you shall be in danger of hell
fire"
Matthew 1873: IF thy right eye Of
fend thee. pluck it out and cast ii from
thee. 1t is better to enter into life with
one eye, rather than have two eyes TO
he cast into hell fire
This will be enough until you fix
them.
Yours very truly,

Engine Troubles---the Way

Former Captain Motor Transport Corps. U. S. Az
Nine men out of ten who operate automobiles have
not the first idea in the world what to do if the
engine goes wrong. Half of them do know whether
the trouble is in the motor the transmission and the
average who drives his does particularly
to know much about his machine, except how to
beat the speed cops if he gets good bit of road
Some may say that this is exaggerated and many
will deny that any operate machine and

the fact remains that the driver of vehicle
only wants his machine to be in shape to get him where

ADJUST BEARINGS PROPERLY

Every time n wheel Is removed
the bearing cup Is removed with IL.
and consequently the bearing must
be adjusted properly when the
wheel Is replaced. The best meth
cd of doing this is to turn the
bearing up tight and then revolve
the wheel n few times by hand,
which overcomes any tendency to
bacltlash.
