Overseer Frank Robinson:
I am glad to have this op-
portunity of testifying for my
Lord. First of all, l thank God
for Christian father and
mother who taught me the
Scriptures, imparting to me in
my youth a good knowledge
of both the New and Old Tes-
taments. That knowledge has
been an unspeakable blessing
to me throughout my life.
I am truly grateful to God
for having preserved me in my
travels of thousands of miles
by land and sea. I have crossed
the Atlantic ocean three
times; I have been through
two wars. I was in London
during the first part of the last
war, and witnessed the terri
BILE devastations and expert
enced the horrors of falling
bombs. Tonight, by the grace
of God, I am here in health
and strength, in this beautiful
State of California.
/ thank God for His loving
kin d n e SIS throughout the
years; and, when I have call
ed upon Him in time of illness
He has healed me. For these
blessings I give God all the
glory; for I know it is not
through any merit of my own.
I am only saved by the blood
of the Lord Jesus Christ.
Thank God, that blood is eff
cacious to wash away every
stain land I stand upon that
tonight. With great joy I look
forward to the Coming of the
Lord; and I believe His Com
ing is very near.
I praise God for this priv
lege of meeting all of you here
tonight. May God bless every
one! is my earnest prayer.
Mr.. Thomas Gallagher:
[ am thankful to God for
His goodness and mercy which
have followed me through all
my life. I, too, thank God for
Christian parents who taught
me Gods Word; and l am
thankful for the Bible School
teaching given by Overseer
Darms in Zion. I ask an inter-
est in your prayer that I
may be a blessing to others,
and may be kept faithful until
the Lord Jesus Christ comes.
I know I have been born again.
I know that I am on the road
to Heaven above. Pray for me,
for my wife, for my sons and
daughters. I ask our Heavenly
Father to bless us all and to
keep us, in His precious Name.
Mrs. Harry C.. Taylor:
I am very grateful, this

Him for the many years that L
have been in fellowship. I
thank Him that I can say I am
a charter member of the Chris
tian Catholic Church, - ex-
pect there are very few still
living who can say that. God
has blessed me through all
these years. I was taught how
to pray and how to read the
Bible by DR.. Dowie. I was
taught to trust God for all
things, and 1 thank Him that I
have been able to trust Him;
and He has supplied every
need. Tonight, I can say I am
saved; and I am looking for
our Lords Coming in the Rap
ture. Then I shall see my Sa-
vior and the loved ones gone
before! I am happy to be at
this Gathering tonight and
have the privilege of meeting
with these dear ones in Zion.
I ask God to bless each one. It
is my prayer that He will keep
me faithful until the Lord
comes.
Mrs. George Wise:
For innumerable blessings
in Zion, I thank God. I am
especially thankful for the
teaching which I have received
in this Church throughout the
years. I came into fellowship
at the first Feast of Taber-
nacles" (1901), and God has
wonderfully blessed and kept
me. I can say, in the words of
the beautiful hymn we have
sung, "Jesus took my burdens
and left me with a song" It
has been so in my life. I ask
an interest in your prayers. I
am looking forward to the
Coming of our Lord and Saw
ior Jesus Christ. Pray for my
dear ones; I desire that they
may be ready. May God bless
Zion everywhere, for Jesus
sake.

1900 Defy Race Law
In Virginia 10 Hear
Wallace at Norfolk
By the Associoted Press

NORFOLK. Va, Nov. 24.-Spurred
on by DR.. Clark Foreman, president
of the Southern Conference for
Human Welfare, 5000 persons de-
fed Virginia's segregation law last
night to hear Henry A. Wallace,
former Vice President, speak under
conference sponsorship.
The mixed audience cheered for
three full minutes as Mr.. Wallace
walked to the platform and later
punctuated his talk with frequent
applause.
The man whose first public blast
against this Nations foreign policy
brought his dismissal from Presi-
dent Trumans cabinet, declared
men with large financial interests
abroad" will cause a third World
War unless this country's present
policy abroad is abolished.
Blasts U. S. Foreign Policy.
Mr.. Wallace blasted the Presidents
military aid to Greece and Turkey
plan, declaring:
Il am. against sending military
aid to any country. I am opposed
to the Truman doctrine. I believe
in furnishing to the best of our
ability food. plows and fertilizer to
every country in the world on the
basis of need, not on the basis of
getting ready to fight Russia"
Earlier, DR.. Foreman, president
of the conference, called Virginia S
hand on the segregation law-and
won.
Standing before the audience of
wlAse and colored persons in the
Auditorium Arena here, DR.. Fore
man declared:
There appears to be State law
which prohibits people from meet
ing publicly. 1t is the inalienable
right of American people to meet
together. The memory of Jefferson,
Mason and Henry is defiled by such
a law"
. AS the audience, packed elbow to
elbow, cheered, DR.. Foreman con-
tinued:

"If the officers of the law will not
allow us to continue our meeting
here, we will walk into the streets

Near Record Acreage
OF Crops Urged by
Anderson for 1948
BY the Associated Press

The Government outlined a 194s
farm production pattern today sug-
gesting near-record acreages OF
crops, but a decline in production of
meat and poultry.
Major emphasis was placed on
grains in guiding goals announced
by Secretary of Agriculture Ander-
son.
A shortage of grains for livestock
feed will make it necessary, the
cabinet official said, to cut down
on all livestock products except milk,
which would be maintained at this
years level.
If the goals are met, farmers will
devote 100000 more acres to culti-
waited crops and hay than this year
and about 100000 more than the
1942-1946 wartime average. This
years planting totaled 347,000,000
acres.
Mr.. Anderson said high domestic
and foreign demands make it neces-
sary for farmers to postpone for at
least another year a return to good
soil practices needed to give over
worked land a rest from its heavy
burdens of the last seven years.
To-day, more than ever, United
States production is a key factor in
world recovery" he said.
But if this Nation is to provide
a good share of the food needed
so desperately by hungry nations
abroad, it will mean an inevitably
heavy drain on our already strained
soil resources
The goals recommended reductions
in acreage of some crops because of
reduced demand. These included
tobacco, which has lost valuable for
eign markets; peanuts, which was
expanded during the war as source
Of vegetable oil, and dry peas.
Mr.. Anderson recommended per
cent fewer eggs than this year, Z
per cent fewer chickens, IL per cent
fewer turkeys, 6 per cent fewer pigs
for the spring crop, and an II per
cent reduction in cattle slaughter.
He estimated the per capita supply
Of meat at 143 pounds next year
compared with 1856 this year. The
per capita supply averaged 127
pounds in the 1935-1939 period.
