Return Of Christ Seen
Near by Adventist

Current events indicate the world
is nearing Christ's return to earth,
Elder J. Lamar McElhany, president
of the Seventh-Day Adventist Gen.
eral Conference, declared last night
in talk at Constitution Hall.
Mr.. McElhany compared the world
situation to prophecies in the Bible
| to show that I'VE stand today in
history's most sublime hour, when
the God of heaven is about to take
over and have His way in the af-
fairs of men, = >"
Mr.. McElhany said the Bible
clearly and unerringly describes the
present world situation" He ASSERT
ed what the world needed most was
a back-to-the-Bible movement.
Many has fully demonstrated his
utter inability to help himself, or to
save himself from his own ways"
the Adventist leader emphasized.
To stress his assertion that the
tense world situation is indicative
Of Christ's second earthly visit, Mr.,
McElhany said:
Jesus also pointed out that there
would be wars and rumors of war,
nation shall rise against ma
ton and that the accompaniment
of all this would be famine and
pestilence. If He had spoken these
words in l948, they could not pos
slbly be more apropos."

Senator johnson, Democrat, Of
| Colorado.

Cut in School Budget
Seen as an Issue in
Arlington Election

Action OF the County Board in
cutting next years school budget
by S225,000 will become an issue
in the November election at which
one County Board seat will be filled,
an Arlington civic leader predicted
today.
Harrison Mann declared this un-
fortunate action has injected an
issue into the election which
should never have been raised had
the County Board tended to its
knitting and let the School Board
run the schools"
At the same time, B. Alden Lilly
white, chairman of the Citizens
Committee for School Improvement
which led the fight for an elected
School Board in a May, 1947 refer
endum and also backed the winning
slate in November, expressed bitter
disappointment" at the County
Boards action Friday night.
Mr.. Mann, who is chairman of
the County Democratic Executive
Committee, emphasized that he
spoke as an individual and not in
his capacity as chairman of the
Democratic Committee.
1T is to be regretted that the
County Board assumed the pre-
rogative of superimposing its judg-
ment on that of the School Board"
Mr.. Mann declared.
Mr. Mann asserted ain addition
to establishing this poor precedent
the County Board adopted one
equally as bad in making a lump
sum appropriation" for schools.
Heretofore School Board appropria-
tions had been derived from pro-
portionate share of the tax rate.
1T is hoped that the County
Board will reconsider its action and
make additional appropriations from
revenues to be realized from the
business and automobile license
taxes =" he said.
Mr.. Lillywhite termed the budget
reduction "a severe blow to hopes

dents who voted for county school
improvement when they elected the
