Eider Booth, of Atlanta Congre
gation, Declares Prophecies
Are Being Fulfilled
ATLANTA, Sept. 4.—The ter
rific earthquake and tidal wave in
Japan with ns- tremendous loss of
life and property are proof of the
unerring accuracy and fulfillment
of Bible prophecy, according to
Elder Booth of the Church of Sev
enth Day Advnetists.
'throughout the
world point to the end of time and
the second coming of Christ,” he
s?id in his sermon Sunday night.
‘‘We have Jesus’ own words for
it-. Asked by his disciples: ‘What
shall be the sign of Thy coming
and of the end of the world.’ Jesus
answered. Ye shall hear of wars
and rumors of wars for na-
tion shall rise against nation and
kingdom against kingdom;; and
there shall be famines and. pesti
lences and earthquakes in divers
places. . . And ther shall be signs
in the sun and in the moon and
in the .stars and upon the earth
distress of nations with perplexity;
the sea and waves roaring; men’s
hearts failing them for fear and for
looking after those things which
are coming o nthe earth, for the
powers of heaven shall be shaken.
And then shall they see the Son of
Man coming in' a cloud with power
and great glory.”
It is Armagaddon that is com
ing ‘‘The battle of the Lord,” say
the Seventh Day Adventits. “The
nations are in turmoil. Men are
blaspheming God. Those whq di-,
rent' the destinies of 180 million
of people are publicly burning ef
figies of God the Father, Moses and
Jesus in the streets of Moscow and
Petrograd.
“A tidal wave and earthquake
sweeps Japan and the dimensions of
the catastrophe are such as were
not witnessed on the face of the
earth since the ten plagues descend
ed on the Egyptians way back in
the dim recesses of antiqiuty.”
These great disasters which have
visited mankind during the last few
years with ever-increasing frequen
cy are pointed to by the Seventh
Day Adventists as proof of the
Biblical prophecies that the second
coming of Christ is near at hand.
,I‘Whqn ye see these things. When
mep shall be perplexed and their
hearts shall tremble with fear, when
there is distress amongst the -people
of the earth and . . . war and ru
mors of wars . . . pestilence and
famine . . . signs in the heavens
above the earth beneath . . . know
ye that the end is night,” so spake
twenty centuries ago.

of time, and predicted the begin
ning of a war in 1925 which Will

the Lord is here and that the “king
dom of heaven is at hand.”

ITALY HOLD COMMAND
OF ADRIATIC FROM CORFU
LONDON, Sept. Associ
ated Press)—ltaly Is liofding Corfu
which commands the Adriatic, as a
pledge for Greek reparations and is
Waiting grimly for Greece to comply
with. hei» ultimatum. Greece, having
appealed to the League of Nations,
is also waiting, and Italy thus far
has ignored the protest of the Coun
cil, of Ambassadors against her ac
tion in seizing Corfu.
The Greek legation here made
public the text of the Greek reply to
the ambassadors’ council, proposing
the appointment by the council of
a commission consisting of three
members for an inquiry into all the
circumstances of the Janina crime,
and declaring readiness if Greece is
found in any way responsible to
grant aIF reparations decided upon
by such commission. The reply re
quests the intervention of the coun
cil with Italy.
Premier Mussolini has instructed
the Italian representatives at Gene
va to abstain from other discusssion
and the only hopeful aspect isthat
Italy, seems disposed to have the
court of international justice pro
nounce on the League’s competency
to deal with such an international
dispute.
The British government still is
firmly supporting the view that the
dispute is eminently one for the
League of Nations and regards the
whole question as subjudice, pend
ing the League’s decision. In the
event of the eague council’s ab
staining from intervention, it( is
stated that the Scandinavian dele
gates are resolved to withdraw from
the league as did Argentine in 1920.

THOMAS MEIGHAN AT
RYLANDER TODAY
Thomas Meighan, one of the
most popular, of all motion, pic
ture stars, is at the RylandeP to
day and Wednesday in his new
Paramount picture, ‘'Homeward
Bound,” a picturiaation of a story
by Peter B. Kyne, and directed by
Ralph Ince. Lila Lee is the lead
ing lady.
The story of ‘‘Homeward Bound”
is a romantic tale of the sea in
which the star appears as the cap
tain of a sailing ship, and unsea
worthy vessel, of which he is part
owner and from the sale of which
he hopes to bbtain sufficient funds
to start right as the husband of
his employer’s daughter. Among
the many big scenes in this pro
duction is a storm off of Cape
Hatteras with two’ships, the schoon
er and a luxurious yacht, at the
mercy of the element.s
As an added attraction to
‘‘Homeward Bound,” the Rylander
is showing a Clyde Cook comedy,
“The Eskimo.”
Thursday and Friday at the Ry
.lander will mark the first showing
in the South of Pola Negri’s new
Paramount picture, “The Cheat.”
This is declared to be Miss Ne
gri’s greatest picture, and is dif
ferent from others in that it has a
happy ending, which will be good
news to this star’s many admirers.

Schedule Arranged Shows
Games W?h Cordele, Lan
ier, Griffin, and Albany
Americus High school boys who
hope to make the team this fall
are already practicing daily at the
playground, and already the ne
iluos bf a fairly strong team has
been collected to represent that
institution on the gridiron here.
“Bobbie” Hooks, captain and leader
of the eleven is one of those most
active in the practice which begins
at 4 o’clock‘each afternoon, is
whipping his men into shape as
rapidly as possible, and Sam Mer- |
ritt, one of the old men who will I
return to Americus High this sea- 1
son, is assisting him, along with
Jesse Glawson, who is assured of
a place as one of the line men.
Merritt is playing this season at
fullback, while Glawson has not
yet been definitely assigned. In
addition to these men there are a
number of other “hefties” who are
trying for positions on the team,
but who will have to work hard to
, attain their goal. !
Added interest has been- given
this practice work by the announce
ment of a preliminary schedule for
the team, including games with
Cordele, Lanier, Griffin and Al
bany, with the A. H. S. team mak
ing more than one trip away from
the Americus campus for these con
tests. The schedule as ararnged to
date is as follows:
A. 11. S. vs. Cordele, at Cordele, i
Sept. 28. |
I Cordele vs. A. 11. S., at Americus
I Oct. 5.
Lanier vs. A. H. C., at Americus,
I Oct. 20.

cus, Nov. 2.
Lanier vs. A. IT. S., at Macon,
Nov. 10.
Albany vs. A. H. S., at Albany,
Nov. 23.
It will be noted that the sched
ule to date does not contain a re
turn g. ne with the Albany eleven,
• to be played here, but it is thought
s probable this will be arranged be
q fore the season is much older, and
that in addition a number of other
- games will be added.
