The Maritime Federation of the

V. 16 He that believeth and
is baptized shall be saved; but he
that believeth not shall be condemn
ed" Faith and BAPTISM are the
beginning of the Christian life; the
one the beginning of piety in the
soul, the other of it's manifestation
before men or of a profession of
religion. Note that God who is Just
considers the acceptance of his Son
of such Importance that without
it one brings condemnation on that
soul.
V. 1918. ''And these signs
shall follow them that believe; in
my name shall they cast out devils;
they shall speak with new tongues;
they shall take up serpents; and if
they drink any deadly thing, it
shall not hurt them and they shall
lay hands on the sick, and they shall
recover" The performance of
these miracles was sufficient
genuine and that all who heard
them might believe the gospel
V. 19. "And so after the Lord had
spoken to them, he was received
up into heaven, and sat on the right
hand of God" Dignity and honor
belonged to Christ and to it was a
natural sequence that he should
ascend to be with God
v. 20. "And they went forth and
preached everywhere, the Lord
working with them, and conforming
the word with signs following
Amen" God works with those who
will work with him. The work of
the greatest importance is proclaim
ing the salvation of Christ by
preaching, by teaching, by witness
ing and by Christian service.
V. 40. "And, behold,I send the
promise of the Father unto you;
but tarry ye in the city of Jeru-
salem, until ye be endued with
power from above" See John 1926
for the promise. He commands
you and me to tarry in the prayer
chamber, to learn Gods revealed
word, to wait on God till our spirits
are made right; then to us will be
given power to live as we should
V.50,51. "And he led them out
as far as Bethany; and he lifted up
his hands and blessed them And it
came to pass while he blessed them,

the blessing of God is a great NOM
ent. He longs to bless us too.

SCRAP RUBBER COL
LECTION DRIVE
Page Three

County USDA War Board Chair
man Frank l.. Carr, urges farmers
to help keep the U. S. A. rolling"
by searching their farms for re-
claimable rubber, and turning it in
to the Government at the nearest
filling station. President Roose-
welt has named the county USDA
War Boards to head the scrap rub
ber drive in rural areas. Members
of the local board met Monday to
decide ways and means of putting
the drives over in Morgan county.
''All rubber may be turned in at
any gasoline filling station Carr
said, thanks to the cooperation Of
the oil industry which has made
available all it's personnel and IA
cilities for use as collection depots."
Carr pointed out that upon sue
cess of the rubber collection drive
hinges the Presidents decision as
to whether or not gasoline ration
ing should be extended over all 48
states. Conservation of the ma
tion's stockpile of rubber now in
the hands of private automobile
owners is one argument advanced
for universal gas rationing. "Agri-
culture has big stake in the sue
cess Or failure of the rubber drive"
Mr.. Carr asserted, "since the
amount of reclaimable rubber that
is collected will be a decisive fac
tor in the rationing of rubber for
agricultural purposes, such as the
retreading and recapping Of farm
ers tires
He stressed that neither filing
stations nor the oil industry will
make any profit on rubber purchas-
ed during the drive. Rubber deliv-
cred to the filling stations will be
bought at the rate of one cent per
pound. The oil industry will sell
the rubber to the Rubber Reserve
company, a subsidiary of the Re-
construction Finance Corporation.
Any receipts in excess of the pur-
chase price paid by the filling sta
tions will be turned over by the oil
industry to the national headquar-
ters of the U. S. O., the army relief,
navy relief, and American Red
Cross, Mr. Carr announced. Re-
claimable rubber which has been
classified as acceptable includes al
most all types of rubber except bat
terry boxes and their parts, and tire
beads. The county war board chair
man requests that metal, wood, and
leather should be stripped from
such items as leather shoes, and
baby buggy tires.
