and meditation. Next Sunday

Young will begin a series Of ser
mons dealing with the Advent of
Christ, which will eliminate on
Christmas Sunday, December %.
Beginning on Sunday, Dec. 8, the

everyone will be able to find many
valuable articles that can be used

BETHESDA BAPTIST
Bethesda's ten-day revival serv-
ice came to glorious end with the
evening sermon by the pastor, Rev.
W. E. Wellington, Sunday, Deem
Der 1. On that night, the minister
preached what many expressed as
the gem of the series. It was
called "Eisha's God" The minis
ter dramatized his sermon, and the
entire church, among whom were
a number Of white visitors, sat as
if spellbound. The Gospel chorus,
which had sponsored the effort, and
had sung most of its effective
music, were most gratefully COM
mended by the pastor for faithful
service during the ten-day period.
He further declared that he hated
to close the service, and only did
SO because he felt that everyone
was completely worn out.
This successful series of meet
ings demonstrated beyond argu-
ment that an earnest, sincere, and
capable minister can conduct such
service with as good results as can
come from a visiting Evangelist,
and with much less financial ex-
penditure. The B. Y. P. u. has
felt the effect of the work of a
number Of persons who have lately
Joined with its usual teaching
force, and on last Sunday, this was
especially evident, both in program
and attendance.
The Sunday school continues to
grow, and the Sunday school coun-
Gil has before it a number of plans
to make it more interesting and
worthy of the support of the young
people.
Bethesda most cordially invites
the presence Of the public to any
and all of its services.

SHARK PRACTICES
CHARGED TO IVA
Representative Montet, at

Land Deals.

A charge of land shark" practices
was leveled at the Tennessee Valley
Authority today by Representative
Montet, Democrat, of Louisiana, in
a hearing before the House Military
Committee on legislation to enlarge
T. V. A. activities.
Arthur E. Morgan, T. v. A. chair
man, had told the committee the
Authority had acquired two small
parcels of land in the Little Ten
nesSee River basin in order to compel
the Aluminium Co. of America to CO.
operate with it in unified program
for developing the entire Tennessee
basin.
That's what the land shark does. |"
Montet interposed Il hate to see one
of our Government agencies following
that practice"
The tracts-one of $500 square feet
and the other of 1912 acres-are in
Graham County, N. c., in an area
that would be flooded by water backed
up by proposed dam for the aluminium
company. The company already has
acquired 80 per cent of the proposed
reservoir.
Morgan asserted that the Little Ten
ReSsee is one of the principal tribu-
taries of the Tennessee and must be
included in a unified plan for con-
troll of the Tennessee Basin ''or the
plan as a whole will be greatly handi-
capped"
If the Little Tennessee is admins
tered independently. he said, who
ever so administers it will have CO.

S6,0O0,000 instead of the $15,000,00
claimed by Andrew w. Mellon In his
income tax dispute.
The former Treasury Secretary
completed his case in his 5000, 900
dispute yesterday after his last valua-
ton expert had become nettled by
cross-examination.
George H. Blakeley of Bethlehem,
Pa, a vice president of Bethlehem
Steel Corp. and president of Nc
Clintic- Marshall, whose fabricating
business, Bethlehem acquired in 1881,
testified in Melons behalf yesterday.
Mellon had a 80 per cent interest in
the structural steel firm, which was
valued at S66,000,000 when Bethlehem
absorbed it.
Blakeley's white mustache bristled
when Fred Shearer. Government
counsel, tried repeatedly to get him to
describe in detail the yardsticks he
used in supporting the Mellon figure.
