Because There Is No Light
In Them"
lisa, S:2O)
When you consider the dispo-
sition of man the world over to
disregard all law and order and
trample upon the rights of
others, even to dispossessing
them of their earthly goods, did
it ever occur to you how difficult
of understanding are some of
the simple statements made by
Jesus?
Get out the old book and re-
read Matt. 5:5 and see how
strange it sounds in this day and
age of selfshness then stop and
do little thinking for yourself.
You might ask your minister a
few questions on this passage.
If he is an honest preacher he
will confess he really does not
know the meaning Of this sim
pie Bible statment. But if he
is DESTROYS of keeping you in
ignorance concerning Gods Plan,
he will begin to hand you that
old familiar stuff: THE Bible is
a Great Mystery and was never
intended to be understood by
man" He knows, too, that
such a statment on his part is in
direct conflict with the testimo-
ny Of Daniel, Jesus and St.
Paul.
Why are people willing to re-
main in ignorance concerning
many things taught in the
Bible? Take thesDoctrine of
ETERNAL TORMENT: why do
intelligent christian people bias
phame the name of God by
believing and teaching such an
unscriptual doctrine?
Any person who. will take the
time and trouble to look up the
word he'll in Strong's or Young's
concordance will see this word
simply means GRAVE, TOMB,
PIT. In other words it means
the STATE OF DEATH.
Abraham was called out from
an idolatrous people; his fathers
served other gods Joshua 24:2)
yet when death overlook him it
is said, He was gathered to
his people"
In this day of DRIVES for
millions of dollars to convert
the world too Christ, no one
would argue heaven is full of
heather. No, not even any of
the Prophets are there. Jesus
settled that question when he
said: mo man.has assembled in
to heaven. John 3:13)
Then3 we ask, where are
Abraham and all the faithful
Prophets down to and including
John the Baptist? The Bible
says they are peacefully Sleep
ing in that great prison house,
the TOMB-the Bible He'll. 1t
says there is no work, nor de-
vice, nor knowledge nor wisdom
there; that everyone in this
prison house is at rest and in
perfect silence; that the dead
know not anything; and as soon
as the breath leaves the body,
the thoughts perish, (Eccl. 8:
$40; Pisa. 6:5; Job 9:17, IS, 49,;
Pisa. 146:4.)
Surely we have been mis-
taught concerning the hell of
the Bible.
Many Scriptures which seem
to contradict each other are
shown to be in perfect harmony
and a flood of light is thrown up
on those dark passages that have
puzzled US so long in a set of g.
vols. entitled A HELPING

General Azgapetian served gallantly
in the Russian armies in the Caucasus
against the Turks. His wife, who ac-
companied him to the front, did noble
work for the wounded and sick, and
1t was while in this service that her
baby was born in o hospital tent during
a battle An army blanket swung from
two poles in one corner Of the tent was
the baby's crib during the rest of that
terrible winter campaign. With the
collapse of the Russian armies after
the Bolshevist revolution the Azgape-
tians returned to Armenia for a,brief
spell and did their best to alleviate
the suffering they found on every hand.
But with a Turkish price on his head
the father finally made his way with
his family through Russia to Finland
and then to this country. What they
tell of conditions and needs in Armenia
Is first hand evidence.
In the Caucasus, Armenia, Syria,
Turkey and Persia are more than 250-
600 orphans, helpless little victims Of
war, massacre and deportation, and
for the great majority the only bar be-
tween them and absolute starvation
Is a bowl of hot bean soup every day
This soup is supplied by the Near East
Relief now making an appeal to
the American people for sufficient
funds to increase this dole and to pro-
vide these suffering little ones with
clothing and give them an education
that will help them to become self sup
porting. It is estimated that more
than 100000 in Western Asia will
die of starvation unless American aid
is continued.

CONFERENCE TO: BE
HELD FOR GOOD ROADS

Columbia, Jan. IA Conference
Of coed roads advocates will be held
in Columbia shortly with members Of
the general assembly Tor the purpose
of exchanging ideas as to what the
state needs in the shape CT methods
for improving the highways, both
arterial and county lateral roads,
according to statement of Senator
Christensen of Beaufort, president of
the South Carolina Landowners
association.
The organization of which Senator
Christensen is the head, along with
other organizations which are work
ing to have comprehensive road
program adopted, such as the South
Carolina Automotive Trades associa-
ton, the Travellers Protective asso-
citation, the United Commercial
Travellers, the State Highway COM
mission and other agencies, will be
invited to attend the conference.
It is believed that out of the con-
tlict of ideas and the friction of dis
cussion method acceptible to every
element desiring good roads will be
evolved. 1t is thought that few of
the members of the general assem-
bly, are opposed to the idea of i'm
proved highways; their difference of
opinion primarily is due to the
method by which the revenue should
oe raised and its distribution.
No date has been set for this con-
ference. but it will be IN the near
future.

JOHN DODGE DIES
FROM PNEUMONIA
Motor King Began Career in Small
Machine Shop and Worked
Way Up.

New York, Jan. 14.-John Dodge
of Detroit, automobile manufacturer,
died here tonight from pneumonia.
Mr.. Dodge with his brother Horace,
came here to attend the automobile
show. They were both stricken with
influenza, which in each case devel-
oped into pneumonia. Horace Dodge
is said by his physicians to be out of
danger.
The career of John F. Dodge paral-
leled in many ways that of a majority
of Michigan's leading automobile
makers. 1t began in small ma
chine shop; included many struggles
against poverty and failure and it's
close found him one of the motor
kings Of the world with a fortune es-
timated at upwards of S50,0OO,OOO.
Dodge was born in Niles, Mich, Sd
years ago. After his public school
education he served an apprenticeship
in his fathers machine shop. In 1885
he moved to Detroit to follow his
trade. He was shortly afterward
joined by his brother, Horace E..
Dodge, and for years the brothers
WOIkSQ IOSSIlSl dS "aSS Calling 'Aie'-
chinists. Their first business venture
was in 1901 when they opened shop
of their own employing IL persons.
They built parts for automobile con-
Germs just starting in business.
In 1912 the brothers announced
their intention Of entering the auto
mobile business on their own account.
The enterprise was successful from
the beginning and under the impetus
of the war it grew until today the
Dodge interests employ approximate
ly $4,000 persons.
One of the Dodge brothers efforts
after the United States entered the
was was s10,000,000 ordnance plant
which despite the skepticism of mill.
tary experts produced the delicate re.
cell mechanism of the French 155
milIinletre guns. Machinery for this
plant was built in Dodge factories and
within, g year after it's construction
was started it was shipping 20 of the
mechanisras daily to the proving
grounds. =

FOR TRAITORS"

A party OF Socialists will gather
in Washington on April Is to de-
