Two men staggered from a table

The others died in hospitals, where
they were rushed in automobiles,

Many of the striker collapsed

said. The woman, whose case was
considered hopeless, he pointed
out, pushed through the crowd,
and a hand of faith, touched the
hem of the garment of the Jesus
of Nazareth.
1.-THE woman's trembling fingers
Of faith had touched the great doc
tor and she was Immediately
healed. The woman, who repre-
sented the desperation of human
needs, touched the body of Jesus
and then felt the power Of God
searching her disease ridden
body" DR.. Marshall said.
Jesus told the woman, thy
faith has made thee hold" he
said. The need to touch him too,
as many have been far too long
in the crowd, basking in the sun
light of community respectability.
have been lost in the throngs fol
lowing Jesus, vas urged by the
speaker.
1--WE must touch him with the
hand of faith. Not many Of us in
the crowd are in touch with the
Lord. Harbor no grudges, forgive
others, love those who treat us
unjustly, pray for those who grieve
you, make a stronger attempt to
right certain wrong situations in
your life, confess your secret and
personal sins. All of this is not
easy to do" he said.
How can we do it? Touch him
now. He is walking down the aisle
and is in very midst this very
moment. 1t takes grace to follow
the Lords way. You should reach
a decision as to what happened
to the woman in the Bible Incl
dent. You will find peace of heart,
mind, and soul in the name of
Jesus Christ.
DR.. Marshall said Christ had a
heart of a great teacher and heal
err, the power to restore health.
Her faith %curiously stirred, the
woman sought to get nearer the
Lord So she, too, might be healed.
She had assurances, he said, that
if she only but could touch the
hem of his garment, she would
become well through the power of
God.
Jesus Christ recognized a touch
of faith, a touch that was different
from others in the crowd. No Won
man touched him in desperation.

ARMORY PLANS ARE
SUBMITTED TO NETS
Continued From Page One)

tvs share of the 5000, 900 project
will be held some time in January.
Commissioner Wade said that the
conference with McGinnis will prob
ably be held next week. After that
project plans will be sent on to
Washington for final WPA approval.
The war department, through the
WPA, has already approved an
armory for Wilmington, the original
project to cost between $4,000 and
$4,000. However, the city and
county governments are seeking to
secure an armory and auditorium
combined. The sponsors expect to
receive governmental aid in the
amount of 500, 900 in the project.
Wade said last night that James
Lynch, architect, who drew the plans
for the armory-auditorium, has ar
ranged for a maximum seating ca
pacity of $500.
The building will be somewhat
similar to the Lumberton armory-
auditorium, but will be larger. The
tentative plans are for an auditorium
that "a also be used for military
drills, a stage, locker rooms and
storage space.
Present plans are for the build.
ing to be erected on the old Marine
hospital grounds, which the city and
county hope to purchase for $40, 900.

ment in the balanced operation OF
democracy is a strong, alert and
watchful opposition"
Your function during the next
four years." he said, lis that of
the loyal opposition"
He spoke of President Roosevelt
as your president" and my pres
ioent" and said Eve will support
him with our best efforts for our
country"
Willkie said that suggestions that
opposition party leaders become
members of the government, as
some do in Britain, were based on
"a false conception of our gov
ernment."
AN American president, Willkie
said, could fill his whole cabinet
with leaders of the opposition party
and still Jul administration would
not be a two-party system. 1t would
be an administration of a major.
ity president giving orders to mi.
nority representatives of his own
choosing"
In a nationwide broadcast car
ried by NBC, CHS and MBS,
the defeated republican presiden-
tial candidate suggested five step:
for our government to take i'm
mediately" to "counteract, tn e
threat of initiation and to correct
some of u economic errors"
Referring to an administration
proposal to increase the national
debt limit from 40 billion to IS
billion dollars, Willkie said:
Immediately after that an.
nouncement, prices on the New
York stock exchange and other ex.
changes jumped sharply upward.
This is not a sign of health, but
a sign of fever. Those who are
familiar with these things agree
that the announcement of the trea-
sury indicated a danger-sooner
or later-of initiation
1T is not incumbent upon any
American to remain silent concern
ing such a danger" he added. II
shall not be silent and I hope you
will not be. This is one of your
functions as a minority. But in full
filling u duties as an opposition
party we must be careful to be
constructive. We must help show
the way"
Willkie expressed "once MORE,
the hope that we help to maintain
the rim of freedom in Britain and
elsewhere by supplying those de-
tenders with materials and equip
ment. This should be done to the
limit of u ability but with due
regard to u own Defense"

that if the axis of 1918 had been
successful in military victory over
the associated nations, resistance on
behalf of democracy in 1910 would
have been wholly impossible.
"And So, America is proud of its
share in maintaining the era of
democracy in that war in which we
took part. Amerca is proud of you
who ~served-and ever will be proud"
At the medical center, Mr.. Roose-
welt said that the new buildings, in.
volving a 500-bed hospital of modern
structure and equipment, were "a
necessity even before the existing
expansion in u defense forces"
Tn 247-acre tract upon which the
center is situated, he said, will allow
expansion "to any point that might
become necessary in a national mo-
bilization."
