SERMON STORY
is CLARIFIED
BY MANY VIEWS

An illustrated lecture-Sermon was
delivered at the Christian church last
night by Dr. Violette on THE Land
and the Book" The evangelist in his
tours over Palestine had taken many
beautiful modern views of ancient cit
les and alltthe prominent places mem
toned in The Bible. In the lecture he
showed views of Mt. Hermon, Dama5
Gus which now has population of
250,000, and the wall from which the
Apostle Paul was let down. Here also
he showed a picture of the House of
Nasman the leper which is now leper
hospital He carried his audience to
the oasis of Maras, the bitter waters,
and to the place where Joseph was
buried and where lately slab was
excavated that completely verified the
record in the Bible.
Next he took his hearers to Mt. Sinai
where Moses and the children of Israel
camped IL months and 81 days, then TO
old Ramoth Gilead, the. commissary of
the kings of Israel, and which now has a
population of 1000, then to Mt Ebal
and Mt Gerezim where the IsraeliteS
stood between and heard priests read
the curses for the violation of the
law from one mountain while other
priests read the blessings from the
other. Dr. Violette said that he stood
on Mt. Ebal and read from memory
scripture and he could be heard two
miles down the valley which verified
the history in the Bible.
"The fourth Oldest city in the
world, said DR.. Violette, 'is Joppa.
The view OF which he showed and also
the house of Simon the banner upon
which Peter saw his vision of the
sheets let down from heaven
The tomb of Rachel, the burial
ground Of Ruth, the land owned by
Boaz were next described. The
evangelist said that today a real estate
man may go there and get an alb
stract of title that carried back to
Boaz who married Ruth. He said that
Benjamin Franklin once read a por-
ton Of Ruth from memory in the
French institute of art and the French
people were so chained with it that
they remarked that the reading should
be published and put on record as a
masterpiece of literature. And Frank
lin, of course, showed them where it
was found
All the sacred places, the modern
churches, the Hill of Calvary, the
open tomb where Jesus was laid were
beautifully represented by views. A
flashlight picture of the tomb of Jesus
was taken of the inside just as it was
when Christ was buried there.
Scenes IN Egypt, Land Of Sun and
Wonder" were beautifully portrayed.
The illustrations and views were said
by many to be the most modern and
edifying of any they had even seen of
the Holy Land The audience was so
large the class room was opened 20
seat the overflow.
Today, at 9:3O a. m. DR.. Violette will
assist in demonstrating what Bible
school should be. All members are
urged to be on time.
At II a. m. his subject will be, Shall
we Abandon the church," Read
Acts S. At $3.50 p. m. his second Leo
ture on International Relationship"
will be delivered called, Americas
God. This will be a wonderful treat
to all who desire world view of hu-
man affairs.
At 7:3O p. m. his subject will be,
"God's Great Gift of Love-" John g.

USED CAR PROBLEM
NOT A REAL BOGEY,
SAYS AUTO WRITER

Problems that have been confront
ing the automobile industry and to
some extent which still confront it are
discussed in an article recently pub
lished by James r. Sullivan, for the
last IS years automobile editor Of The
Boston Globe. One of them has been
the FUSED car" and how to handle it.
Sullivan, among other things, says:
Another factor is now making it
self felt. Some of the makers seem to
feel that at the prices asked for the
new cars in the lower priced field
with four wheel brakes, ETC., the mar
ket for used cars up to $500 or $500
that have only two-wheel brakes and
whose lines are not modern will be
affected. Therefore, there may come
a policy of aiding the dealers to move
the used cars through educational adj
vertising in the display columns paid
for by the factory, or on $3.50, or
other such basis.
sSonys of the General Motors units
started doing this some time ago be-
fore this factor had been given much
consideration There is no use sug-
gesting that new cars may be sold
without taking others in trade. To do
this would mean curtailing production,
increased overhead, less profits or
higher prices. That is not coming.
''MeanWTile, the public interest has
been revived remarkably in the last
few months. There is no use denying
that Mr.. Ford started the minds OF
millions to thinking of buying cars.
That in itself was a good omen for
the industry Throughout the country
thousands flocked anywhere, whether
convenient or not, to see the new Ford
cars.
when tive millions had time to
look the line over then many began
to plan for the future. No one ex-
pected that the millions were going to
wait for Ford. In fact in number
of places people put in orders hoping
to cash in when spring comes and oe-
liverieS are being made to sell their
options. Dealers in other lines In
number of cities can tell how their
statesmen were able to interest people
in cars right after the Ford show, and
make sales
president Alfred T. Sloan made it
nIain last September when the auto
motive editors were General Motors
guests at Detroit, that the corpora
tion's lines would not be allowed to
suffer in competition. He was not
worried then. He is not now. What
he said then had great tendency TO
clear the air of the alleged price war
rumors floating about, that were not
helping the industry.
sWhat is true of all General Motors
lines as far as competition is con-
cerned is likewise true of other manu-
factures."
"Some of the factory executives are
irving to figure out what effect the
political battle for president will have
on business this year. That IS one
big factor in trying to pile the totals
up for the first six months. Tney 40
not know whether to try to tell their
dealers and statesmen that the election
will not bother business, and just go
ahead and forget it, or ignore the
problem entirely. Some feel that many
dealers and statesmen do not follow
national politics very much, and II II
is brought to their attention 1t may
serve as an alibi for losing orders

SOME POINTS NOT
ON THE COMP ASS

press story says, Hoover elected
president by Yale students" There
is an unconfirmed rumor that Low
den, Curtis and others will protest
that claim, even before the Kansas
City convention.
Earl Carroll, who gained much
public attention some three years ago
as the result of party he gave in
New York using bathing scene
in which the performing girl was
alleged to have appeared in the
altogether" uniform, and who served
a term in the federal prison as the
result of perjury committed concern
ing it, is about to lose his wife.
Marcelle, the former dancing beauty
Marcelle's twinkling toes laid the
foundation for Carrolls fortune and
she stood by him like true soldier
when he got into trouble. But the
story is that now he IS again free,
Narcelle is. going back to ner former
home in Paris.
Los Angeles papers are broadcasting
the fact that a Judge from the COW
country. has been called to try Hick-
man, confessed murdered. The re-
gretable feature, as most people would
agree, is that they didn't take Hick-
man to the "cow country to be tried.
It would have probably been less ex-
pensive, quicker and most emphatic
justice.
Those who have heard and enjoyed
the inimitable Harry Lauder, famous
Scotch comedian, will be interested toI
know he is back for a visit in Amer
ica However, it is hardly likely that
he will make tour of the country asI
it has been but few months since
the death of his wife, leaving him
very much alone, their only son hav-I
ing been killed in the World war.
Bert Acosta, one of the quartet in
the plane that carried Commander
Byrd across the Atlantic shortly after
Lindbergh flew to Paris, has been
jailed, but not for flying too high. Tt.
was because he was doing stunts over
Naugatuck, Conn. He might have
known better than to get too close to
town with a name like that, high or
low.
To many who read about some scion
of wealth marrying a cabaret singer,
it often recalls that old story of the
first fellow who made that experiment
and how afterwards, when he would
look at the result of his experiment,
would inevitably eXclaim, "sing, darn
it, sing" ,-
