The ELECTION to decide who
shall fill the offices in our gov
ernment is rapidly approaching,
and the JUDGEMENT DAY also.
The candidates and their admir-
ers will give DILIGENCE to
make sure the election of their
favorite candidates.
The question, "HOW ARE
YOU VOTING" occupies the
mind of the MASSES. This elec-
ton, of course, is important, and
all voters, especially Christians,
(if they vote) should give dill
gence to make no mistake. But
the result of the November
election is but for little while,
and those honored by being
elected can rejoice only a few
short years.
Dear Reader: Have you consid-
cred the Bible Election mention
ed in our TEXT? There is dang
er of being so wrapped up in the
outcome of the November elec-
tion that no time or room is left
to give diligence to the Bible
Election, and by neglecting this
you will fail to make SURE your
own election and miss the honor
and glory of seat in heaven
with Jesus on his throne. Reve-
lation 3:21.
From the TEXT it is clearly
seen that ones election is made
SURE by what he himself does
and not that God elects some to
be saved regardless of whether
they do or not do. Why COM
mand to give DILIGENCE if
man has nothing to do? It.is true
that God did "predetermine" to
save a class of people, and you
belong to that class only by
obeying the Gospel of Christ, for
He is the author of eternal sal
vation to ALL THEM WHO
OBEY HIM. Hebrews So. That
those who fail to give DILL
GENCE will not make their
ELECTION SURE, is implied in
the TEXT. Yes, God ordained
and predetermined that the dis
obedient be punished, for we
read in II Thessolonians 1873,
that Jesus shall be revealed from
heaven in flaming fire, taking
vengeance on them that obey not
the Gospel of our Lord Jesus
Christ.
Man is a free moral agent,
free to act and with power tC
will and to choose. God made
him that way and sets before
him GOOD and EVIL. LIFE and
DEATH. God holds man respon-
sible for his conduct and urges
man to choose and turn. He says
| deuteronomy 30:19, and EzekiaI
| 1922 81 call heaven and earth
to record That | have SCI
before you life and death, bless
ing and cursing; therefore choose
life"-"I have no pleasure in the
death of him that dieth
wherefore turn yourselves and
live ye".
When a man gives DILL
GENCE to learn the will of God
and GIVES DILIGENCE to dc
that will, he is in a sense "vot.
ing" to MAKE HIS ELECTION
| SURE. The old colored preacher
well said: l quote, de Lawd is
votin' for ye, and de Debil is
votin' for ye, and it is up to you
to cast de decidin' vote.
| HOW ARE YOU VOTING?
The outcome of the BIBLE
ELECTION involves your etern'
al veal or woe. How much more
important is this than the No
vember election. An eternity Of
bliss awaits you if you make
your ELECTION SURE.

THE MOST CREATIVE YEARS

DR.. II. G. Lehman of the Department of Psychology,
Ohio University reports that you are past 40 years of
age, there few fields of human endeavor in which
you can succeed better than younger DR. Lehman
prepared paper to this effect recently for the Fifth An
nua Scientific meeting Of the Chronological Society
II you are over no. the best you can accomplish, ac-
cording to Dr. Lehman, is follows Become an indus
tralist commercial leader with an annual income of
$4,000 to $1000000 Cat average of 60-90l become
president of American college or university Cat an
of 525 become President of the United States
Cat average age of 5559l become Ambassador tat

of 6064 become Chief of Staff of the Army lat
average Of 6064) become Justice of the T. S. Su-
preme Court Eat average age of 70-74l; or become
Speaker of the s. House of Representatives Cat an
age age of 7O-74l
In addition to these possibilities, you might succeed
architect artist average 4044 years. as an a-
thor average age 4O45 in astronomy average age of
S9-44l write light operas musical comedies or can

Dr. Lehman mentions fe& other fields those over 40
might succeed In which will not go into here Suffice
It to say the statement that there few fields of human
endeavor in which those 40 can succeed better than
younger is bit misleading For while younger men
succeed in many fields few of would be dissatisfied to
become ndustriaist with an income between $4,000
and $l0O0,o00 an Ambassador Senator Supreme Court

NOTES
BY BOB THOMAS

HOLLYWOOD, Oct .20R- Found !:
A movie star who hates to act.
In my years of picking grapes
in these vineyards, l have talked
to every film celebrity. Nearly all
of them have some complaint.
Some hate the folderol that goes
with acting--the autograph fiends,
the cranks, the lack of privacy.
MAJ their studias, Il actors
pls in~ oppesite them.
But / never found one who said
he really hated acting. Until /
talked to Ray Milland.
/ found him on the set of s'Laye
Song where he was about to play
a tense scene with Jane Wyman.
| remarked about the announce
ment that he win direct as well
as star in his next picture. Milland
has been trying TO wangle a direc.
tors job for several years, and /
asked him why.
WHY" he sn0rted.s 'sFar two
very simple reasons; /. think
directing would be much more
stimulating than acting; 2. ! hate
acting"
This was no wiseeraek tossed off
in an idle mood.
Il never have liked to act" he
explained. 1T makes me terribly
self-conscious. Whenever | have ia
go into q scene, | tense up. I get
q frog in my throat. break out
in 2 sweat and ] begin to twitch
all over.
If nc hates acting so, how did he
get into that line Of work?
DO YOU want to know the
TRUTH" he asked.
'fCertainly."
The answer was simple and
frank: Il was remaneing . movie
actress at the time
That was 20 years age, and his
years of s0-called suffering have
brought him a fortune and Holly
woods highest prize. His rye
soaked role in THE Lost week,
end" won him the Oscar in 1945.
But despite all this, he is eager
to get behind the camera and leave
acting to others.

NEW YORK R-Both men had
stayed too long at the bar, and
they knew it.
1t was two hours since they had
insisted there was time for only
one quick one. Somewhere in the
long ago, they had missed four
trains, missed dinner at home,
missed kissing the kids goodnight.
And so, as it must to all men
who stay too long, a feeling of
guilt came to them, They talked Of
their wives.
"Helen's a good kid" said Harry.
"M 1el's eria Phil.
Wonderful girls. Deserve the

And, as ii must to all men who
stay too long and feel too guilty,
a sense Of matrimonial belligereney
now came to them.
"0nly one way TO handle wives.
said Harry, Only one, surefire,
foolproof way"
''How's that"
''Now ard, then-mind you, not

when the situation demands it, slap
'em. Makes 'em happier in the long

Are you interested in the welfare
OF our children and in ra,oviding
them with wholesome recreation?
You might stop by Bayviesv Park
some day and talk with Mrs. Doris
Thompson, Playground Supervisor.
Mrs. Thompson has been. work
ing at the park for nearly four
years. Before that, she was active
with the Girl Scouts. Her program
is devoted chiefly to children in the
ella year-old bracket but it is also
her desire to attract teen-age girls
and teach them to knit, crochet,
ct Biggest trouble IS a corHplete
lack Of materials and equipment
with. which to work,
Dozens Of children play in the
ps I ryday. The City has ore
Volley ball, one basketball, a Gro
auet set. and few pairs Of stilts,
1.-THE latter built by one of the bogsl.
There isn't even football that can
be issued 10 the kids and naturally
at this season Of the year, all Of the
small fry wish to initiate the high
school boys and play football.
ShufflehQard is available but tIais
game is too tame for growing cbil-
dren, They like something with
more action.
On Tuesday and Thursday. Mrs.
Thompson teaches the children that
are interested in various crafts. AZ
present they are engaged in maxi
ing wall plaques and will soon take
UP papier-mache work. Weaving
hraldins and lacing are 4.
All Of the children who 60 to the,
park are eligible 20 Join the Park
Club as Mrs. Thompson calls her !
group, They have q party once a
month and are looking forward 70
. big time Halloween night
Now - let's get wn 10 facts. 4
Mrs Doris Thompson told me the |
above and being a City employee
she naturally couldn't afford to tell
me the following. The next few pa
ragraphs are based on my own OBJ
serVation md opinion.
The area Of the building Mrs

QUESTION: Recently my tenant
reported to your office that had
overcharged him-a little more than
$lO0 on his rent. | went to the ten
ant and he agreed to accept $50
in settlement. viii this settle the
case completely as far as your
office is concerned.
ANSWER: No, it viii not. Ac-
ceptance of less that the amount
Of the oyercharge By the tenant
does not bar the Government from
taking action in its own behalf.
However, the rent office takes
many factors into consideration be-
fore recommending that action be
taken for damages to the Govern
ment. For instance, it determines
whether or not the violation was
apparently wilful on the part Of
the lar ford. If the facts indicate
the violation was not wilful the
landlord is, as a matter Of policy,
frequently allowed to apply against
the overcharge certain increases
in maximum rent he would have
been entitled to. So / suggest that
you and the tenant come into the
rent office and talk the matter
over vii. the compliance negotia.
