CHIEF
FOR HOOVER
Former Democrat Hits
Smith Pointing to
Wet Record

LOUISVILLE, KY, July 7.-CP)-
Herbert Hoover, republican presiden-
tial nominee, was endorsed here to-
day by DR.. Edgar Y. Mullins ,presi-
dent Of the Southern Baptist The
illogical Seminary and until a few
days ago head of the Baptist world
alliance. The educator attacked Gov.
Alfred Z. Smith, democratic standard
bearer, in a statement in which he
said illness would prevent him from
accepting an invitation to attend a
proposed dry conference in Ashe-
Vile, n. G., sponsored by Bishop
James Cannon, Jr., Of the Methodist
Episcopal church, south.
Pointing out that he spoke for him
self only, DR.. Mullins said that as
things existed az the moment he
would vote for Hoover. He added
that he always had stood for "Jef-
fersonian democratic ideals but with
out slavery 10 party ties" He took
several thrusts at Gov. Smith, citing
especially the latter's record as a
wet.
DR.. Mullins said that the wonder
full democratic convention nominated
a bone-dry running mate from Ar
kansas for the sopping wet head Of
the ticket from the sidewalks Of New
York. II thus tells the country it
will work the greatest miracle of the
age; carry fire and water in the same
bucket at the same time. The run
ming mate will thus apply the dry
torch to the edifice of alcoholic doc
trine-but he will be followed at ev-
cry step by the wet head Of the ticket
turning on the hose wherever his
running mate starts a fire"

Little did Saul of Tarsus realize
as he stood by conserving unto
Stephens death and guarding the
clothes Of the murderers, that the
mantle Of the martyr was beginning
to fall from Stephen 70 himself and
that. for the next thirty years he
would take Stephens place and
finally seal his own testimony for
Christ with his blood.
In the meantime, for perhaps two
years, Saul resisted the conviction
that erept into his heart from
Stephens testimony. Gle continued
to make havoc of the church, enter
ing into every house, and haling men
and women committed them TO
prison" But this storm Of persecu-
tion served Gods purpose. in that
the disciples. who for nearly seven
years had remained too much in the
home church OF Jerusalem. were all
scattered abroad throughout the re-
gions Of Judaea and Samaria."
God gives wings 20 certain seeds,
and then sends the storm 20 scatter
the seed throughout the earth. Thus
persecution served TO spread the
coed seed Of the word Of God.

Not Be Munroe

NEW YORK, July 7.-CP-Doubt
that the body of a mar found in a
cabin at Rouyn, Ont, was that of
Jack Munroe, prospector and former

from several sources today.

her husband had no interests at
Rouyn and that he was looking over
mining claims at Red Lake, Ont.
But, she added, she had received no
word from him in several days.

Identification. He expressed belief
that the body vas that of Little

Nominee Invites Chief
Opponent to Visit
Him In Albany

NEW YORK, July 7.-tR-Gover-
nor Smith has called on his chief
opponent for the democratic presi-
Dental nomination, Senator James
A. Reed Of Missouri, for aid in the
coming campaign.
He wrote Senator Reed an invita-
ton 10 come TO Albany as his guest
and confer on the campaign. The
letter was made public by Smith
headquarters here.
"Now that the storm Of battle a
cleared away" the governor wrote,
III hope that ! can prevail upon you
TO spend a night at Albany at the
executive mansion and confer with
me on the conduct and issues of the
campaign in which we are engaged
together. Please let me know what
your plans are for the near future
so that we can perhaps get together

offered his aid to Governor Smith
Immediately after the latter noml-
nation. 1t was believed the COVER

By DIR. AVN z. BELL

The saying "the blood Of the mar
tyrs is the seed OF the church" was
never more rue than in the case Of
the first Christian martyr, Stephen.
and Saul Of Tarsus, who not only
consented 70 Stephens death. but
kept the raiment III them that slew
Stephen was one Of the seven lay
men appointed by the apostles as
deacCns TO serve tables" that is TO
administer the charity funds of the
church 10 the poor widows and or
uphans, so that the apostles could
give their full attention to the spir-
itual ministry OF preaching the word
Of God. But, lyon can't keep a good
q down" and 70, Stephen could
not be obscured in d minor position.
He did his work ~ 4 server or tables
for the poor, but In addition ne
preached the gospel with fiery zeal
and power.
The Peril Of Prejudice
But regardless of the fact that he
was a man filled with the Spirit Of
God, the truth and logic Of whose
speech they could not contradict,
and though "they were cut to the
heart" BY his worcs, instead OF re-
penting, they CRASHED on him with
their teeth" and "cried out with "a
loud voice, and stopped their ears.
and ran upon him with one accord.
ami cast him out Of the city. and
stoned him." This is a typical pic
ture Of prejudice in every age: the
closed mind and stopped ears; the
loud mouth and violent hands. Time
has not succeeded in refining the
spirit of prejudice and bigotry, it has
only partially restrained its violent
hands.
The First Christian Martyr
The name stephen" means
Crown" but Stephens crown was
the crown Of martyrdom, and his dis
tinction lies in the fact that he was
the very first az that noble army of
martyrs 10 seal his testimony with
his life's blood. There were 1S5. 00O
martyrs in the first 800 years of the
church's history, but Stephen led the
way, and these others followed in
his train.
The Martyrs Strengthening Vision
II Is impossible to overlook the
striking likeness az Stephens dying
words and two Of our Lords sayings
from the cross. Jesus first words
from the cross was Father. forgive
them, for they know not what they
do" and we have this echoed ~
Stephens last words as che kneeled
down, and cried with a loud voice
Lord. lay not this sin to their
charge" And his word, Lord Jesus
receive my spirit" parallels Christ,
dying word, Father. into THY hands
| commend my spirit" So perfect.
ly did Stephen pattern his dying Lore
that IL u no wonder he was giver
the strengthening vision Of his Lore
IN glory as he testified, Behold.
see the heaven opened. and the Sor
Of man standing On the right hand
Of God"

that the bill passed the lower house
without a record vote, and that the
only vote was on re-commitment and
was two to one in favor of the bill.
Following Mr.. Aten's address he re.

irrigation methods and crops. He
stated that the rainfall is about

"One thing I cannot understand
and that Is: why don't you people OF
the Valley 20 into d~airying on an
extensive scale? +" the Californian
said. I'VE have over 10000 dairy
cattle in the Imperial Valley, and
they are our principal source OF
revenue. You can raise an abundance
Of cheap feed in the Valley, and there
Is no reason why the dairy industry
should not prove highly profitable
He also stated that the Imperial
Valley derives a large income from
feeder cattle, bought on the range
and brought to the Valley for "fin.
ishing," over $4,000 head having been
marketed last year.
Frank Robertson, manager of the
San Benito district, spoke for the
