Postwar Construction
I'm Maryland

Federal loans aggregating approx
mately $833,3O0, to finance the pre-
paration of plans for postwar con-
struction, will be made available to
postwar planners in Maryland if the
Presidents request for an appropria-
ton of $75,900,00O is approved by
Congress.
Estimating the cost of preliminary
plans at per cent of the total cost
of a project, this would finance the
blueprinting of plans for $16,666,-
900 construction program in Mary
land, according to c. L. Vickers, re-
gional director of the Federal Works
Agency;
1t is expected that the proposed ap-
preparation will be included in the
deficiency bill, on whick Congress
probably will act before adjourning
late this month, Mr.. Vickers said.
Authorization for the appropria-
ton, he pointed out, was contained in
the War Mobilization and Recover
sion Act, popularity known as the
George bill which Congress approved
in October. The act stipulates that
funds for postwar planning shall be
disbursed through the Federal Works
Agency. The loans will be repaid to
the Federal government, without in
terest, when projects are constructed.
Under provisions of the act, 90 per
cent of the appropriation will be di-
vided among the States in proportion
to population. as shown by the latest
official census, while 10 per cent will
be allocated at the discretion of the
Federal Works administrator, Major
General Phillip B. Fleming. This will
enable the Federal Works Agency to
compensate for shifts in population
since thte 1910 Federal census.
On the basis of population, Mary
land will be entitled to approximately
1.22 per cent of the appropriation
Mr.. Vickers said.

QuestiOn-Will a man who has been
married more than once live with all
his wives in heaven?
A-This inquirer has asked the
same question that the Sadducees,
who denied the resurrection, asked
Jesus - only they asked whether a
woman who had seven husbands
would live with all of them in the
resurrection. We simply reply in the
words of Christ: "Ye do err, not
knowing the Scriptures, nor the pow
er of God For in the resurrection
they neither marry nor are given in
marriage. but are as the angels Of
God in heaven" Matthew 22:29,30.
Q.-Can you tell me what the
determination of desOlation' spoken Of
in Matthew 24;15 represents?
A-Let US read the passage: when
We therefore shall see the abomina-
ton of desolation, spoken of BY Dam
iel the prophet, stand in the holy
place. fy.hoso readetA. let him UNDER
star BY reading the parallel pas
SAG N Luke 21:20, the meaning is
clear: And when ye shall see Jeru-
salem cOmpassed with armies then
know that the desOlation thereof IS
nigh" It was the pagan Roman army
with ltS lGdlHGu tIiSi5llo 5ctAtSA ~
around the city of Jerusalem.
Q.-What prophecy of the Bible can
one absolutely prove as having been
fulfilled?
A.-The prophecy of the four world
kingdoms, found in Daniel ?. This has
been fulfilled according to history:
Babylon, Persia, Greece, Rome-then
Rome divided into the nations of mod
that Cod
spoke the truth in this prophecy.
o. have heard of a prophecy
about latter-day inventions, such as
railroad trains, automobiles, etc; but
/ can't find it. Can you help me?
-A.-This inquirer is probably think
ing of the prophecy found in Nahum
2;3-5: The chariots shall be with
flaming torches in the day of His
preparation. and the fir trees shall be
terribly shaken. The chariOts shall
rage in the streets, they shall Justle
one against another in the broad
wavs: they shall seem like torches,
they shall run like the lightnings He
shall recount his worthless they shall
stumble in their walk; they shall make
haste to the wall thereof, and the de-
fence shall be prepared"
Q.-What is the difference between
the Saint James Version of the Bible
and the Revised Version
A.-There is no Saint" James YER
sion. King James I of England au-
thorized the translation of the Bible
into English and it was published in
1911. Hence our common version is
often called the Authorized or King
James" Version. The American Re-
vised Version appeared in 1901 with
some of the old English words mod
ernized. Of course many newly dis
covered manuscripts were available
when this revision was made, but al
the great doctrines of the Bible are
the same in both versions.
