IjO jMLnutes after the ascension of Christ to heaven I
Sggs . two men in white apparel” appeared to those ||B||
|s|s who witnessed the great event and prophesied His s§Sx»
return. Throughout the New Testament the prom- Saw
BaS» ise is repeatedly mentioned.
No one can tell just how near the return of
Christ is. However, there are signs which we are Sgggg
told will mark the ending of the age. Many of |B|BB§
these signs are more apparent today than ever be- 888 S&
fore in history.
Among signs mentioned in the Bible is unbelief, gjjjgg
S 88& 2 Peter 3:4 indicates people will say, ”, . . Where is
iSsss the promise of His coming: for since the fathers g§§§|
sSSSs fell asleep, all things continue as they were.,..” gsxxx
S&rS Perhaps disbelief in the return of Christ has never : i t
been as great as today. Self-satisfaction, prosperity, t
and peace always give a false air of sufficiency. i
Nevertheless, the fulfillment of Bible prophecy : >
S K marches on. The establishment of Israel as a nation
is given as a sign of the times. Troubles, wars,
famines, and perilous times are also mentioned. But
when Christ will return is not so important as being
ready for the occasion.
If you are interested in Bible prophecy on the
return of Christ, write for additional information.

City State Zip gSjx
last year.
She avoided political issues,
which she leaves up to her
husband, and told a little of her
busy and exciting life in
Washington.
Delegations from Georgia
visit the capital every day and
she and her husband try to meet
all of them and attend their get
togethers. She said they lead a
quiet social life, as his job is
very demanding and the Senate
often stays in session late at
night.
Then, too, the senator has
never missed a week coming
back to Georgia. There have
been only two Satruday Senate
sessions and he flies home
every Friday, spends each
weekend visiting a different
town, then catch a flight back to
Washington, arriving there
Monday around 7 a.m.
She said that even when Sen.
Gambrell is working late, she
has dinner on schedule for the
four children. Her specialty is
omelets. The Georgia Egg
Commission visited the
Congressional Club in
Washington and gave an
omelet-making lesson to the
senator’s wives. She said that
later Betty Talmadge came
over to practice and even 15-
year-old Henry makes them
now.
Tte Gambrell’s have four
children, ranging in age from
eight to 16. Luck said her first
duty is taking care of them and
her husband.
She has problems finding
someone to stay with the
children in Washington and said
that two of her mother’s friends
from Swainsboro drove up to
stay with the children so she
could make this 10-day trip to
Georgia.
She plans to return again in
mid-May when Sen. Gambrell
makes his official an-
nouncement to run for
reelection.
When school is out, the family
will make their headquarters in
Swainsboro, her hometown,
where the two younger children
will stay with her mother while
die and the older two, Luck, 16,
and Henry, help campaign. She
said her children react well to
public life.
Mary, their eight-year-old,
attends public school within
walking distance of the family’s
rented home in Washington.
When they first arrived, Mary
took a bike ride around the
block and came back very
excited, saying that she found
her school and it had two dragon
statues in front and a lot of
Chinese teachers. Later she
discovered that what she
thought was her school was the
embassy of the Republic of
China.
Luck said her main social
activity is meeting with other
senator’s wives each Tuesday in
the basement of the Capitol to
sew for the Red Cross. She said
all of the wives have the same
problems, as their husbands are
doing the same things and
rarely, if ever, are politics
discussed.
She considers her family
lucky to be within such a short
flying distance of Georgia. She
said that the families of the
senators from Alaska and
Hawaii don’t get to go home
much, even at Christmas, due to
the expense and flying time
involved.
