All CLUB MOTTO

The All Club has a motto
which is, "To make the Best
Better" And we sure have all
tried too. We also have the All
pledge. So many people have
wondered what the four 4-H's
stand for. They are: Head,
Heart, Hands and Health.

warning and vigorous preach
ing against sin. Many false
shepherds are leading people
astray by false teachings, while
many others are too coward
ly to lift their voices against
sin. To condone or cover up
sin in ones own life or in the
lives of others, is fatal mis-
take. God commands all men
to repent and forsake their
evil ways. And then He says,
Though your sins be as scar
let, they. shall be as white as
snow; though they be red like
crimson, they shall be as
WOOL"

God has made provision for
every sinner to be saved from
the bondage of sin and Satan.
God sent His only-begotten
Son to die and to pay the PEN

that we might not die in our
sins. Look to Christ for deliver

your heart to God, Satan will
seek to tempt you, but the

nit all kinds of wicked deeds
in rebellion against God.
Let no one ever make light
of sin. 1t required only one act
of disobedience on the part of
the first man to plunge the en-
tire human race into the mael-
strom of sin. God is not re-
sponsible for mans fall. He
gave man warning of the con-
sequences of disobedience.
God said 'In the day thou eat
est thereof, dying thou shalt
surely die" With his first act
of sin, man was separated
from God, and became an
alien, an enemy and a rebel.

ATTY. OF SIN - Psalm

Isaiah 1:16-18; Matthew

1923.
God has given His Word in
order to reveal the true nature
of sin and it's awful penalty.
The Bible contains nearly sew
en- hundred references to sin.
Is it, therefore, any wonder
the Devil seeks to make man
hate the Inspired Word. The
nature of sin is fully set forth
therein, but the following
three declarations are suffi-
cient to cover every phase of
mans sinfulness (D-"Sin is
the transgression of law" Ct

it not, to him it is SIM Games

not of faith is sin" (Romans

Scriptures no one is exempt
from the guilt of sin, for call

the glory of God" A part of
the mission of the Holy Spirit
is to convict of sin.
Never has the world been
SO far away from God as TO-
day, with it's fearful record of
crime, wickedness, and vile
ness increasing daily. The
Word of God declares that

Psalm 32:1-8

Sin is the evil monster that
degrades man and drags him
down to the brink of hell. Man
was created in the image of
God, but sin has married that
image; and sin is responsible
for all the misery, wretched-
ness, trouble, and sorrow in
the world. 1t has been rightly
said that "sin first is pleasing,
then grows easy, then delight
full, then frequent, then habit
ual, then confirmed; then man
is impenitent, obstinate, re-
solved never to repent, and
finally he is ruined" The Cross
of Calvary reveals the enor-
nifty of mans sinfulness; and
also reveals the only remedy
for the removal of the curse
of sin.
I THE ORIGIN AND CAUSE
OF SIN-1saiah 14:12-15;
Ezekiel 28:11-15; Genesis
3:1-19; John 8:44; Ro-
mans 3:10-19; James 1872
Is.
The Word of God declares
that man is "the OffSnrinU Of
God," that he was created in
''the image and likeness of
God" The first chapter of
Genesis closes with the words,
"And God saw everything
that He had made, and behold
it was very good" Man was
placed in the perfect environ
ment of the Garden of Eden,
in which were all manner of
trees, including 'the Tree of
Life" and ''the Tree of the
knowledge of Good and Evil"
The fact that the serpent be-
guiled the woman into eating
of the forbidden tree shows
plainly that evil was already
in existence. Therefore, Sin
did not have it's beginning with
man, but originated with the
Devil. The first two references
given above speak of the fall
of Satan. Lucifer, "son of the
morning" lifted up with pride,
rebelled against God, and, in
his fall, drew down with him
a large company of angels. By
means Of these evil spirits, Sa-
tan still induces man to COM

Fish Traps Lose By Big Majority; Dems. Win Offices
Republicans Leading In Legislature

JUNEAU, (P)-Democratic and Republican leaders disputed the of AlaSka's slowly mounting election returns.
 With Democrats elected to the four Territory-wide officess Gov. Ernest Gruening claimed, on the basis of the "As Alaska goes, so goes the Nation" precedent, that the trend presaged a national Democratic victory in the Novem- Der election.

The United States Britain and France were reported drafting yesterday a demand that the United Nations security council act to lift the Russian blockade of Berlin.
 Mediation efforts have broken down. The Kremlin rejected over lures of the Six neutral powers on the security council. Russia asked that the west drop it's charges and that negotiations revert to the Aug. 30 four-poWer agreement at Moscow, on which Russia subse- quently shifted ground by impos- ing new demands, including con- trol of the Berlin air lift.
 The council meets tomorrow on the issue. A Russian veto could and probably will block any posi- tive action.
 Meantime, the Palestine ques- tion came up for airing because of per stent Jewish and Arab breaches in the U. N. truce.
 The Communists kept blockaded Berlin in a turmoil. One of their spokesmen predicted the city's elected central government will fall to pieces soon.
 The Berlin radio, which Russia runs, said Soviet Maj. Gen. Alex ander Kotikov renewed his offer to feed and heat all Berlin, in- cluding the western zones. The 2,000,000 western Berliners now being fed by the expensive air lift, which also is bringing in a trickle of coal, have shown disinterest in such Russian offers.

 Why had the Russians waited almost four months to break the case and then chosen a moment of great excitement here and abroad over the Kosenkina and Samarin incidents?
 Also why should be customs of- ficial be designated only with the letter "E" in the public release if the Soviets considered the charges legitimate and were bringing le- gal action against him?
 State department officials ten tatively concluded that the Soviet government is recognizing that it badly overplayed it's charges of American criminality, Kidnapping and violations of international law in the case of the two school teachers in New York. These officials believe that probably even in the Soviet Union itself some facts in the case are beginning to leak through.

NDy 4iC <hSoOSldICu lCSSi
 Russian-controlled newspapers in Berlin conceded for the first time Saturday that serious food shortages exist in the Soviet-oc- cupied zone of Germany.
 Moscow has promised to de- liver 10,800 tons of fat to eastern Germany in answer to a request by the Soviet military admins tration. said ADN, the Soviet-li- censed news agency.
 The first tip off on the food situation came last week when communist publications reported strong punitive measures against hoarders in the Russian zone.
 Berlin newspapers licensed by the western allies speculated that the food shortage might have been caused by Soviet requisitioning of food from the Russian zone to meet an announced plan to feed all Berlin. American and British sources regard the Russians feed Berlin program as a propaganda effort designed to overcome re- sentiment among the Germans over the Soviet blockade of the city.
 Germans in the American oc- cupation zone have demonstrated against high food prices.
 The Moscow directed commun- ist international information bur- eau (Cominform) made a new at tack of Yugoslavias premier mar Tito. A new issue of the Comin- form bulletin predicted that Tito and his lieutenants sooner or later will be replaced as leaders of the Yugoslav communist party.
 Previously the Comi n f m charged Tito with departing from the party line and pursuing a hateful policy toward Russia. Only Friday the official Yugoslav news agency reported that Tito has reaffirmed the solidarity of Yugoslavia with Russia and east ern Europe's communist bloc.
