Return Of Christ
Continued from last week.
Signs In Heaven and Earth

Christ says:
Immediately after the tribula-
tons of those days shall the sun
be darkened and the moon shall
not give her light, and the stars
shall fall from heaven, and the
powers of the heavens shall be
shaken; and then shall appear the
sign of the Son of Man in heaven,
etc, Mathew, xiv.
And in the book of Joel (Which
appeared during the Mosaic dis
pensation) says:
And ! will show wonders in the
heavens and in the earth, blood and
fire, and pillars of smoke. The sun
shall be turned into darkness, and
the moon into blood, before the
great and terrible day OF the Lord
come, etc.
In the Duran tthe Muhammadan
Bible) we read:--
when the sun shall be shroud-
ed,
And when the stars shall fall,
And when the mountains are
made to pass away.
And when the leaves OF the Book
shall be unrolled,
And when heaven shall be I'M
covered,
And when hell shall be made |
to blaze. "-Surat Xxi.
In the Book Of loan Baha'ullah
explains that these prophecies a
bout the sun, moon and stars, the |
heavens and the earth. are sym
boleal and are not to be under
stood merely in the literal sense.
The prophets were primarily con-
eerned with spiritual and not with
Arkansas State press., 1949-06-24

material things with spiritual, not
with physical light, When they
mention the sun, in connection
with the Day of Judgement, they
refer TO the Sun of Righteousness.
The sun is the supreme source of
light, so Moses was a sun for the
Hebrews, Christ for the Christians
and Muhammad for the Muslims.
When the prophets speak of the
sun being darkened, what is meant
is that the pure teaching of those
spiritual Suns have become OBJ
scured by Misrepresentation, mis-
understanding and prejudice, so
that the people are in spiritual
darkness. The moon and the stars
are the lesser sources Of illumina-
ton. the religious leaders and
teachers, who should guide and
inspire the people .........
The meaning of these prophecies
is not exhausted by one explana-
ton. however, and there are other
senses in which there symbles can
be interpreted. Baharullah says
that in another sense the words
SUM- moon" and stars" are ap-
piled to the ordinances and in
structions enacted in every relig-
lon..........
In many cases the literal full
fillment Of these prophecies in the !
outward sense would be abused or
for example, the moon |
being turned into blood or the |
stars falling upon the earth The |
least of the visible stars is many
thousand times larger than the
Earth, and were one to fall on the
Earth there would be no earth !
eft for another to fall on!--Baha'u'
lab and the New Era.

WHAT WILL UNION DO?

When it came to making out his
will, Berry concocted another inter-
esting scheme. He contended that
the playing-card company owed him
1928 ,92734 in back salary and ex-
.penses. Thereupon he proceeded to
distribute this back salary to his
wife, and to the other Mrs. Berry
(who, incidentally, received more
than his wife,, to his niece, his
secretary and other friends. Ii any
of this back salary remained after
these gifts and after paying federal
taxes, Berry specified in his will
that it go to welfare fund
1t would appear highly doubtful,
however, that the playing-card COM
pany ever owed Berry back salary
and expenses" since he collected
his expenses double, and made
heavy drawings from the company
during his life.
Obviously the great majority of
union members were IN no position
to know anything about these inner
workings of their union. But an in
teresting question is why the unions
executive council did not know
about them. Or, knowing them
now, why they do not act to pro-
tect the rights Of the union and
clean up the mess. Most interest
ing of all, however, will be to see
what the union executives do now.
Note-Present executives OF the
Pressman's Union are: j. II. de la
Rosa. president; w, H. McHugh,
sec-treas.; Charles v. Ernest, A. j.
Andrade, Fred Maxted and George
Googe.

ion clean up a nasty scandal. Few
union members know about the Sit
uation inside their union, which, ii
not remedied, may cheat them out
OF a lot of hard-earned dues.
The secret evidence pertains to
the income-tax violation of the late
George Berry, head of the Press
mans Union, and ex-senator from
Tennessee. Berry. guilty of income
tax violation, refused to defend
himself, was given one year in jail,
which lenient judge later COM
muted to five years on parole. Be-
fore one year had passed Berry
died, leaving a will which may con-
tinue the frauds he pulled on his
own union.
Had the Government been able
to try the case in open court, these
frauds would have been aired pub
lcly and union members could have
taken corrective steps. But Berry,
afraid of a public trial, threw him
self on the mercy of the court.
However, this column has been
able to obtain details OF the tragic
finagling which Berry pulled not
only against the Government, but
his own union.

TWO MRS. BERRYS

Berry's will reveals that ne left
parts of property which supposedly
belonged to the union to two Mrs.
Berrys. One was his own wife. The
other was a mysterious Mrs. Alva
N. Berry, who was supported by
Berry on one of his farms and with
whom Berry spent part of his lat
ter years. To Mrs. Alya Berry and
her two children, who also bore the
name Berry, he left the farm on
which she lived, plus the Moores-
burg Milling Co., part of another
farm, Is shares of the Citizens
Union Bank in Rogersyille, Tenn,
valued at more than $4,000 and.
most important Of all, part Of the
stock in the International Playing
Card and Label Company.
This playing-card company. sup
posedly belonging to the Pressman's
Union and valuable property, was
wilied by Berry not TO the Union
but 10 the two Mrs. Berry'S and his
close associates.
Mrs. Berry, the wife, was given
part of the playing-card company
Mrs. Alya Berry got part. Miss
Daley, Berry's Secretary, also was
willed part; together with Berry's
attorney, John S. Mcclellan; and
A. H. Pfiffner and c. Il. Geigrt, the
manager and superintendent of the
plant.
sYet the playing-card company
was property which belonged to the
union and which Berry had no right
to give away.
