WANTED 40 MEN WITH SIOO.OO EACH—
Knowing the need of doing something to re
lieve the housing situation, residences and busi
ness houses, and realizing that our little city is at
the cross roads in making progress, not knowing
of any one man that is willing, or able, if he is
willing, to build some houses, ye editor is making
plans to interest forty men, if possible, with SIOO.
each that is willing to put it into a building fund,
for a program that will start with the building of
one modest little home, to be sold and then anoth
er, and another to be built until there is sufficient
homes for all that wish to come to Pembroke and
live with us.
If there was a number of homes built, it
would be a good investment to those putting in
their money, if they never got it back, but there
is no reason why it should not be returned in the
wind up of the building campaign.
Three years ago, ye editor with the help and
cooperation of C. L. Gruver and A. H. Croom built
four good homes and sold them to Pembroke peo
ple who did not own their own home, and moved
them out of rented homes into their own home
thereby making four rented homes available for
those that wanted to rent a home. It put four
new homes on the tax books of the city, county,
and state. It gave The City of Pembroke four
new water customers, and provided homes for
four new families to trade with Pembroke mer
chants, patronize our schools and attend our
churches.
We believe that it was the biggest step for
ward made in Pembroke in several years. How
are we to grow and prosper if there is no homes
available for those that wish to come here and
live with us?
In addition it will provide work for some of
our men that are now in the need of something to
do. ■ ,
We have talked to several responsible bus
iness men and they tell us that we have a plan
that is feasible and workable, and one that our
people ought to be willing to get back of.
We intend to give it a trial. Then we will
see who is for the advancement of Pembroke, and
also those that are willing to sit idly by and let
things remain at a standstill.

Lesson for May 15, 1949
pORTY DIFFERENT Christian
denominations sponsor this col
umn. although it goes without say
ing that not all of the millions of
Christians in those
zrium '"iT
Dr. Foreman
d e n o m inations
would agree point
for point with
everything that is
said here. Now if
the reader could
interview one lead
ing Bible expert
from each of these
40 denominations,
and ask each one
the same question:
“In your personal opinion, exactly
what is the meaning of Mark 13?”
you might not get 40 different an
swers, but you certainly would get
more than one.
There Is no chapter In the
Bible that has been the subject
of more arguments than this
one, and no arguments have
ever been more useless than
these. ,
Leaving extreme views aside, let
us try to discover some meanings
which all 40 denominations would
find in this chapter, some truths
on which all reasonable Christians '
can agree.
• • ♦
A Certain Fact
rN JESUS' view one thing is cer
* tain: God’s judgment on this
world and on all persons in it.
Christian churches have different
ideas about what happens after
death. We have different ideas
about how the judgment is to be
carried out, or where it will be
held, or when. But that every man
will have to give account of him
self before God is something Christ
ians believe.
Your true unbeliever Is not
the person who goes around
saying there Is no God. A more
subtle and dangerous form of
unbelief is in the person who
takes the Christian creed upon
his Ups but lives as if the creed
were a lie.
He repeats the Apostles’ Creed:
“From thence he shall come to
judge the quick and the dead.” If
those words are sincerely spoken,
ttie believer will honestly try to
please God above all others. But
the unbeliever, whatever his words
may say, shows that he does not
believe by the fact that he tries
to please, first of all, either him
self or his family or his neighbors,
and not God above all
• • •
An Uncertain Time
IT IS ONLY children who think
that if something doesn’t hap
pen Now, it will never happen. Now
and Never are not the only times
on God’s clock. When will the judg
ment be? The disciples wanted to
know, but Jesus did not tell them.
He did not claim to know, himself,
when it would be (Mark 13:32.)
What he did say w'as. Watch! There
is a sense in which God's judg
ments are going on all the time.
The end of your world will come
in your own lifetime, whoever you
are; for there is not much differ
ence whether the world folds up
and leaves you or whether you
fold up and leave the world.
Death is the end of the world
for every one who dies. Fur
ther, whenever a person suf
fers by and because of his own
wrong-doing, here in this life
and ou this earth, God is judg
ing him by the eternal moral
laws which are the very' warp
and filUng of the fabric of life.
There is also a sense in which
God judges societies and nations.
We have recently seen how ter
rible a judgment Germany drew
down on its head. The nation that
takes the sword shall perish by
the sword. The nation that sets out
to enslave others by force will
come under the same death-sen
tence that cut down Assyria and
Rome and Japan and Germany. But
not all God’s judgments are on this
earth. “God does not settle
all his accounts in October.” There
is a final accounting, and no man,
in this life or any other, can escape
that solemn meeting with God.
• • •
The Only Judge
TWO THINGS are sure. One is
that the only true judge of any
man is God. The man himself is
partial, his friends are partial, his
enemies are prejudiced against
him. Further, no one knows all the
facts but God. Only God knows
what a man’s motives are; only
God can trace to their final end all
tile consequences that flow from a
man’s act.

One of the important medical
achievements to come out of
the past war was the increased
knowledge of preventing mala
ia and the development of new
drugs for the treatment of the
disease.
Despite the great progress
made against malaria, it is esti
mated that the disease still
causes 5,000 deaths in the U
nited States annually. But this
rate is bound to decrease be
cause of the improvements
made in anti malarial drugs and
development of new ways to
get rid of malaria mosquitoes
as the result of intensive war
time and postwar research.
There is only one way that a
person gets malaria, and that
is from the bite of an infected
female anopeles mosquito,
which transmits the germs
from one person to another. No
one can catch malaria from a
nother person seriously ill with
malaria.
Since this is true, one of the
best ways of preventing ma
laria is by the control of the
mosquito which spreads it. This
means the community’s prompt
action in draining and disinfec
ting areas where that mosquito
might breed -swamps, damp
ground and pools of excess rain
water. Great success has al
ready been attained in this and
other countries by spraying
with DDT and other insecticid
es on mosquito-infested areas
There are several kinds of
malaria. The most common
form is the type with attacks
recurring every other day.
Symptoms of an attack include
chills, fever and sweating, and
a general feeling of being ill-
The attacks leave the victims
weak and unable to do a good
day’s work. Proper med>cal
care usually makes the attacks
dissappear, although some tme
