Christmas Party

Due to the cooperation of the local
business concerns, citizens and club
members, the Business and Profess
sional Womens club will be able to
help another worthy girl til Tough
their Loan Fund, which was added to
as a result of the successful tourna-
ment held on last Tuesday night.
Much of the success of the tourney is
due Miss Fricda Hayes chairman of
finance and Miss Carrie Draper. The
next affair of the club is to be the
annual Christmas party on Decem-
Der Is. This is the one meeting of
the year that is entirely social in ma
ture and is eagerly awaited by the
members.
Under the Presidency of Miss Grace
Galbrath, a so percent increase in
membership has been made and the
club is making constructive study
of Woman, as a Citizen.
After January 1, Legislative mat
tiers will be the theme, especially
where they concern the welfare of
women and children.

clusters of autumn fruits and ten
orange candles. Punch was served at
adjoining tables.
A number of games and contests
were played, such as pinning in the
turkeys eye, which prize was won by
Kenneth Isley. Another contest of
drawing the lucky number, was won
by Emma Lee Hawkins, and the hid
den prize was found by Stanley Teiser

unemployment insurance, I would say
that the outlook should be good for
the enactment of some sort of an
amendment that will impound or ear
mark this money until the legisla-
lures in the 80 states which do not
have proper laws have an opportun-
ity to enact them"
The fact that the State of Pennsyl-
vania, which like North Carolina has
no unemployment insurance law
which will permit it to come under
the social security act, with the re-
suit that it would lose about $4,000
600 under the new payroll tax, has
started negotiations with U. S. At
torney General Homer Cummings
looking toward the adoption of an
amendment to the act which would
permit the states to retain this mon
ey, is regarded as hopeful and signi-
ficant- The prevailing belief in most
circles here and in Washington is
that Congress will modify the pres
ent law so that the money due Jan
uary from the payroll tax may be
held in the states or to the credit
of the states not now able to part:-
cipate until they have had an oppor-
tunity to enact the new legislation
required.

to the second coming of Christ as we'll
as the whole subject of prophecy. In
1914 he was with the great Bible
teacher, DR.. c. 1. Scofield, at prop
hetic conference of the Moody Bible
Institute in Chicago. DR.. Trumbull
writes that in the years since then,
as he has continued to study the
prophetic Scriptures and the meaning
of current events, he has had oppor-
tunities of fellowship with Christian
people in many such conferences and
he has been impressed by the steadily
deepening and charging interest in
the prophetic Scriptures.
In his studies and reading DR..
Truml3ull has collected considerable
material in this field which has never
been published. There have been many
requests that these addresses be made
available to the public, and The Sun
day School Times will now publish an
extended series of articles beginning
in December and continuing through
the first half of next year.
There shall be signs in the sun, in
the moon, in the stars said the Lord
Jesus in predicting the end of the age
and His return. Startling facts will be
given in DR.. Trumbulls articles, in
Guiding mention of the scientific ex-
petition about to search for a meteo-
rite, believed to be the largest the
world has ever known.
Are there really signs showing that
the Lords return is near? Have we
any right to believe that we can in
terpret such signs safely and &C
curately? Many Christian people in
earlier times have been mistaken in
thinking that the end of the age had
come-why are not we mistaken?
These are fair questions, and Bible
prophecy answers them for us, as DR..
Trumbulls articles will show.

Fulfilling Bible Prophecy
Even Secular Writers Say Sage Is Set for Event of
Worldwide Importance a nd of Unpredictabe Con-
sequence" May Be Sign of Lords Early Return

"The signs are multiplying" says
Walter Lippman, brilliant Jewish es-
sayist and news commentator, that
the stage is set for an event of world
wide Importance and of unpredictable
consequences
People often say that "they don't
know what we're coming to-" or that
certain events foreshadow the end of
the world. But the end of the world is
not the next great event in the di-
vine plan, for the Bible declares re-
peatedly that Christ will again come
down to earth not in humiliation but
in power and glory, to establish His
own righteous government over the
whole world. Before He returns. does
the Bible foretell any signs of the end
of this age and the second coming of
Christ,
Suicides are now multiplying in a
shocking way. Old people and young
die by their own hands. They are full
filling prophecy, for the prophetic
time has not yet come when Gin those
days shall men seek death, and shall
not find it; and shall desire to die,
and death shall flee from them"
Are we nearing the time when men
will be told that they should make
an image to the Beast? Book of Re-
velation, Chapter 49, The Morning
Post of London says that Rome is
building a gigantic bronze statue of
Fascism and Mussolini, "outdoing in
size every colossus of myth and his

''Mr. c. r. Parker, regional direc-
tor of social security in the region
including North Carolina, called on
me here yesterday and asked me to
announce to the people of the State,
through the press, that the only per-
sons who will be considered for en-
ployment by the social security board
in North Carolina and other states
are those who have already taken
the civil service examination and who
are now on the list as having passed
this examination satisfactorily, Sen
ator Bailey said. 1T is my under
standing that even those who have
been or will be appointed division di-
rectors or office managers have pass
ed or must pass some sort of an exa
mination to satisfy the social service
board of their fitness.
CAS- a result, want to take this OPP
portunity to make it clear that it is
a waste of time and utterly useless
for any person applying for or want
ing one of these social security jobs
to write to me, Senator Reynolds or
any of the States eleven representa-
tives, since none of us has anything
to say about these jobs. The only
way any person can become eligible
for one of these jobs is to take the
special examination given by the
Civil Service Comm ssion Congress
enacted this provision into the law
in order to take these jobs out of
politics, for the reason that the social
security program will affect 26,O00,-

Wilson said the furniture and home
furnishings industries have reported
80 per cent increases in production
in the first half of 1886, with some
manufacturers behind in filling or
