Twenty-five women of the com

given by the Woman’s Club last Sat
urday afternoon at the club house.
A bountiful supply of delicious re
freshments, with hot chocolate und
coffee, were served. A nice enjoyable
evening was spent by all attending.
Attica Woman’s Club
The club was favored last month
by the club girls and their sponsor
presenting an Interesting program
of songs and scripture reading,
poems, etc. at the beginning of the
meeting which was enjoyed by the
ladies. After the girls program, the
roll call and minutes of previous
meeting was given by Mrs. F. B.
Spencer. Some business was dis
cussed and meeting was given over
to Miss Bowman, who demonstrated
reed craft in making large serving

Nine-Hundred and Sixty
Bills and Resolutions
Hon. Odell Williams of Commerce
was in the city last week en route to
Atlanta, where he served on the
committee to enroll the bills passed
iby the legislature. This committee
serves five days after the legislature
adjourns and Mr. Williams was at
home for a day or two awaiting the
engrossing clerks to finish their
work. The record shows that 770
bills and 190 resolutions w-ere intro
duced in the lower house of which
approximately 400 were adopted.
In the senate 228 bills and resolu
tions were introduced and “slightly
over 100” went to the governor.
Thus we find that almost 1,200
bills and resolutions were introduced
in one branch or the other and a
total of about 500 will become law if
signed by the governor.

CHRIST PROMISES POWER
LESSON TEXT-Acts 1:1-12.
GOLDEN TEXT—But ye shall receive
power, after that the Holy Ghost Is coma
upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto
me. both In Jerusalem, and In all Judea,
and In Samaria, and unto the uttermost part
of the earth.—Acta 1:8.
Important things bear repetition.
Luke, who wrote both the Gospel
and the Acts presents the ascension
of Christ, His promise of power, and
His command to witness, at the con
clusion of the Gospel and at the
beginning of the Acts. “The one is
all suffused with evening light; the
other is radiant with the promise of
anew day. The one is the record
of a tender farewell; in the other,
the sense of parting has almost been
absorbed in the forward look to the
new phase of relationship which is
to begin.”—(Alexander Maclaren).
I. The Proof of Christ's Resurrec
tion (vv. 1-3).
Before telling of "the day in which
he was taken up,” Luke makes it
clear that the ascended Christ, who
had made the promise of power to
His disciples, was the very one who
died for our sins, but who could not
be holden of death or the grave. He
arose, of which there are indeed
“many infallible proofs" (v. 3). At
Easter time we recall the fact that
leading historians and experts in the
field of evidence have declared that
the resurrection is the best estab
lished fact in all history.
The fact that for forty days after
His resurrection Christ was among
His disciples, speaking to them of
the things of the kingdom of God, is
significant and conclusive proof in
itself.
As the indispensable dynamic of
their service as His witnesses, He
now assures them that they will
receive power.
IL The Promise of Christ’s Power
(vv. 4-8).
They were to tarry in Jerusalem
until the power of the Holy Ghost
came upon them. This took place
on the day of Pentecost (Acts 2)
when the Holy Spirit came to abide.
We no longer are called on to tarry
for the Holy Spirit to fall on us, for
the moment we believe. He comes
into our lives in blessed abiding
presence. But we do need to tarry,
to wait for His fullness of power,
before we attempt to minister for
Christ. We need to yield to Him for
His fullness, bringing out emptiness
that He may fill us and then use us.
The disciples had an important
question to ask (v. 6) regarding the
restoration of the kingdom. The re
ply of Jesus turned their attention
from that future matter to their
present obligation to witness for Him
and their need of power for that wit
ness. This does not mean that His
followers are to lack interest in the
Kingdom which Christ will one day
establish, nor that they should fail
to be interested in prophecy and its
fulfillment. It does clearly mean
that we must leave times, seasons
and dates to the Lord and be dili
gently about the business of 'witness
ing for Him.
How greatly the little band of
disciples needed power in that day
to face a hostile, unbelieving world,
sunken in bondage to Satan, and
bring to it the convicting and con
verting message of the gospel. They
received that power, and in spite of
every hindrance the gospel through
the centuries has made its way to
the hearts of men, and won its vic
tories for God.
We need that power today. The
Holy Spirit is here to give it to us,
as we yield our lives to God. There
are many Spirit-empowered men
and women in the Church today, but
relatively their number is small.
Who is ready to yield to His control
now, and thus swell the’host of faith
ful and effective witnesses?
111. The Pledge of Christ’s Return
(vv. 9-12).
We mentioned last week that ser
mons are seldom preached on the
ascension of Christ, although it has
an important place in the Bible.
Even more glaring and disturbing
is the failure of preachers and teach
ers to declare the truth of the sec
ond coming of Christ. The promise
of it is written large on the pages
of the Bible, but some men seem to
ignore it.
How plain and understandable is
the promise in this passage. “This
Jesus”—not some other—“shall so
come”; that is, personally, literal
ly, and visibly. There is no ground
here for spiritualizing, to say, for
example that He comes in death,
or that this was but a metaphoricai
expression.
The text is very plain and em
phatic. In agreement, we find,
among others, such texts as Luke 21:
7; John 14:3; Philippians 3:20, 21;
I Thessalonians 1:7-10; I Thessaloni
ans 4:16; II Timothy 4:8; Hebrews
9:28; Revelation 1:7. Unless we re
ject God’s Word, we must receive
this truth, and should receive it with
joy, for it is the blessed hope of the
Church (Titus 2:13). He is coming
again!
THIS BLESSING OF TRIAL
Thank God for the hills that weary
• us,
And the cares that come and go.
If life were all joy and delirious
What boredom soon we’d know!
Thank God for the rain and the
snow and the sleet,
And the cold earth brown and bare,
For we’d trample noses under oui
feet
If forever they blossomed there.
Thank God for the doubts that are
fretting us,
And for failure’s sting of pain;
For the tricks of fate, upsetting us
And the goals we can’t attain.
Thank God for the tasks which hold
us fast
Through the dull and dreary days,
For if for a lifetime joy would last
We’d sicken of idle play.
Thank God for the secrets that
baffle us,
And for mountains too steep to
climb,
For the cares that curb and snaffle
us
To the measured pace of time;
For the sun looks fair to the man
, who knows •
The skies in their Winter gray,
And pleasures have only a zest for
those
Who have worked for the right to
play.
Peace is the happy, natural state
of man; war, his corruption, his dis
grace.
They that know God will be hum
ble; they that know themselves can
not be proud.
TAKE WARNING

ROAD PERSONNEL CUT
600 TO 700
The State Highway Department
has been pruned of between 600 and
700 employes since Governor Tal
madge took office, W. K. Wilburn, de
partment chairman, asserted Satur
day.
Chairman Wilburn said this num
ber of employes had been dismissed
or resigned, and added that the de
partment "still has a good many
more workers than are needed.”
Economies so far effected, he
said, had resulted in a saving to tho
state of about $250,000 and would
make it possible to put approximate
ly $1,500,000 more in the depart
ments funds annually for road build
ing.
Those cut from the pay roll in
clude engineers, instrument men,
inspectors, roadmen, bookkeepers,
stenographers and others. Mr. Wil
burn said he could not estimate the
number of engineers released.
The changes have been effected
over the period extending from Tal
madgv’s inauguration. Additional
cuts in the Highway Department pay
roll may be made in the next
“several weeks,” Mr. Wilburn added.
He said he could not estimate the
number of employes now on the de
partment’s pay roll. Asked if tho
total was more than 1,000 he said,
“yes, it must be,” adding “I’d have
to check the records.”
Breaking the Laws
The man who reserves the right
to break a single law cannot com
plain when he is the victim of the
lawlessness of c)>k-
