GOOD TIDINGS
Subject: The Tribulation.
Text: But there were false proph
et also among the people, even as
there shall be false teachers among
you, who privily shall bring in damn
able herisies, even denying the Lord
that brought them, and bring upon
Peters iii:l.
Some have conveived the idea that
every one that grabs up a Bible and
starts out is a genuine preacher.
But Jesus said, “Many false proph
ets shall rise, and shall deceive
many,” Matt, xxivill. For there shall
arise raise Christs, and prophets, and
shall shew great signs and wonders;
insomuch that, if it were possible,
they shall deceive the very elect,
Matt. xxiv:24.
The apostle Paul charged Timothy
to preach the word; be instant in
season; out of season, reprove, re
buke, exhort with all long suffering
and doctrine.
For the time will come when they
will not endure sound doctrine; but
after their own lusts shall they heap
to themselves teachers having itch
ing ears; and they shall turn away
their ears from the truth, and shall
be turned unto fables. II Tim. iv:2-4.
Some men who call themselves
preachers would have you believe that
the righteous people who live on the
earth will not have to go through the
tribulation that is coming upon the
people in the last days.
Let me drop a thought upon your
mind. Some people teach that the
good people will be caught away un
til after the tribulation days are
over and will not have to suffer any
tribulation. Now, it seems to me that
they have confused two points; here
they are:
I want to make clear to you the
tribulation that is coming on the
saints of God; and the wrath of God
that will be poured out without mix
ture of the children of disobedience.
We read about two beasts in Rev.
thirteenth chapter. The first beast
opened his mouth in blasphemy
against God, to blaspheme his name,
and his tabernacle, and them dwell in
heaven. And it was given unto him
to make war with the saints, and to
overcome them. And power was giv
en him over all kindreds and tongues
and nations, Rev. xiii:6,7.
The same writer said, “And I be
held another beast coming up out of
the earth, and he had two horns like
a lamb, and he spoke as dragons.
And he exerciseth all the power of
the first beast before him, and caus
eth the earth and them which dwell
therein to worship the first beast,
whose deadly wound was healed.
(Which signifies the revival of one
man ruling over all the world, and
the power of death.)
And he doeth great wonders, so
that he maketh fire come down from
heaven on the earth in the sight of
men, and deceiveth them that dwell
on the earth, by the means of those
miracles which he had power to do
in the sight of the beast; saying to
them that dwell on the earth, that
they should make an image to the
beast, which had the wound by a
sword, and did live
And he had power to give life unto
the image of the beast, that the
images of the best should both speak,
and cause that as many as would not
worship the image of the beast should
be killed. And he causeth all, both
small and great, rich and poor, free
and bond, to receive a mark in their
right hand, or in their foreheads.
And that no man might buy or sell,
save (or except) he that had the
mark or the name of the beast, or
the number of his name, Rev. xiii:ll
-17.
This is the tribulation that is com
ing on the righteous. Get your Bible
and turn to Rev. vii:9 and read thru
the fourteenth verse and you will see
that it has reference to people living
in the world since the crucifixion of
Christ because no one could be made
white in the blood of the lamb until
the blood was shed. The angel said,
“These are they which came out of
great tribulation and have washed
their robes, and made them white in
the blood of the Lamb, Rev. vii:l4
Let no man deceive you. Read your
Bible and open your ears and heart
unto the truth.

GRACE
By J. W. KING.
(Installment V.)
When Jesus Christ came on the
scene in His public ministry a.t the
age of 30 years, perhaps during the
reign of King Archelaus or Herod
Antipas, He was proceeded by Hjs
harbinger or forerunner, John the
Baptist, by some six months—both
of whom preached that the “King
dom of Heaven was at hand, not the
dispensation of grace”; for at that
time neither the Jews nor Gentiles
were prepared for that era to be ush
ered in; neither was their preach
ing to the Jews, to the effect that
Christ had come “not to destroy
the law “age” had ended, but rather
but to fulfill the law.” Matt. v:l7.
And he did fulfill it to a “jot and
tittle.” First, by perfectly obeying
and fully observing it to the dotting
of every “i” and the crossing of ev
ery “t” during his earthly career.
Second, by being rejected of his own
people, the Jews, as their Messiah,'
and Savior, and by them was cruci
fied on the cross, thereby more fully
“fulfilling the law” by paying the
penalty of the law which had been
ruthlessly and invariably violated by
all mankind. Third, by arising from
the grace the third day, thus com
pleting the perfect fulfillment and
ending of the law of Moses, and
clearing the way for the introduction
of the dispensation of grace, Eph.
i:10 and iii;2. Also by his resurrec
tion, making it possible for God to
justify sinners through Christ, and
still be just himself.
Before Christ’s death and resur
rection—as recorded by Matthew—
all His preaching and teaching was
to the Jews exclusively, with refer
ence not to the dispensation of grace
but to that of he “Kingdom of hea
ven.” When he age of grace shall
have ended, and the “fullness of the
Gentiles shall have come in.” Luke
xxi:24.
All the parables recorded in the
thirteenth chapter of Matthew have
exclusive reference to the “Kingdom
or millennium age.” If any of them
have any reference at all to our (the
gospel or grace age), it is only inci
dental or indirect. However, all the
laws of Moses involving such prin
ciples of relationship between God
and man also between men which af
fect the well being of each other are
transferred and restated in the New
Testament under grace. It is inter
esing to note that each of the ten
commandments save one, viz., “the
one governing the Sabbath day, or
the 3rd commandment. Why this
commandment was not thus restated
in the New Testament under grace as
all the others were is easily under
stood. When Christ was resurrected
on the first day of the week, Chris
tians since that time have celebrated
the first instead of the seventh day
or jewish Sabbath in commemoration
of Christ’s resurrection from the
grace, but all essential principles of
the legal dispensation are restated
under grace, not as mandates, but as
governing principles of righteous
ness under the system of grace.

Rainy Day Fashions
Smartly Streamlined
With scientists announcing a wet
weather cycle just around the corner,
designers have been busy lately
evolving a variety of smart things to
do away with rainy day fashion
blues.
Raincoats, once shapeless horrors
designed solely for utilitarian pur
poses, have become so streamlined it
is almost a pleasure to have a rainy
day occasionally and blossom forth in
a smart met weather ensemble.
The packaging idea has gained
such proportions this year that a
complete rain outfit from head to
foot may be had encased in envelopes
small enough to fit nicely into a
handbag.
Among the latest introductions in
packaged coats is one fashioned of a
new duranized fabric known as koro
seal, which in addition to being wa
terproof is also fire resistant, acid
and sun proof. In other words, it does
not deteriorate and gum together
after a few months’ use.
Another trend to look for when
you go shopping for your rainy day
outfit is the white raincoat which,
safety experts say, helps to prevent
accidents as the wearer is plainly
visible to automobile drivers.
Accessories for rainy day wear are
There are waterproof bandanas to
unusually interesting this season,
tie over one’s head in place of the
usual hat. These are sure to be pop
ular with college girls. There are also
some smartly designed little sports
hats of a waterproofed silk with an
opalescent sheen. Rubbers and over
shoes both come in packages form
and may be had to match one’s rain
coat and thus complete the ensemble
idea.
And, if there is a pooch in the
family there are raincoats for him,
too, with a zipper arrangement that
fits over his head and keeps the wa
ter from running into his ears.

Reliable Druggist*
Terracing Is Only
Part of Solution To
Erosion Control
Belief that Georgia farmers are
beginning to realize that farm ter
racing is only a part of the funda
mental erosion-control problem in
volved in a complete water disposal
system for the whole farm was ex
pressed this week by Jule G. Liddell,
state co-ordinator of the soil conser
vation service.
In a statement from Athens, Mr.
Liddell pointed out that, in the past,
the general practice has Been to dis
charge water from the ends of ter
races or hillside ditches onto any ac
cessible area not in cultivation, such
as abandoned fields, roads and line
ditches. Concentration of water on
these unprotected areas, speeded up
erosion and often developed gullies
which worked back into the fields, de
stroying the measures which were in
tended to protect the field.
In recent years a complete soil
conservation program has been dem
onstrated in erosion control projects
and is now being put in effect on co
operating farms in soil conservation
districts. Among other things, proper
emphasis is placed on the control of
run-off water throughout its course,
until the water reaches a point of
stable grade.
In many instances, protected wood
lands or well-sodded pasture lands
are accessible, upon which the concen
trated flow from terraces may be
discharged and spread without in
ducing erosion.
Natural drainage ways or broad
field depressions, when properly sta
bilized with vegetation, provide the
finest type of outlet. Such areas may
be converted into meadow strips
which will not only serve as outlets,
but will also supply the farmer with
an abundance of hay.
In erosion control demonstration
areas, it has been found desirable in
some cases, where natural outlets are
not available, to establish disposal
areas along the edge of the field by
retiring a triangular-shaped strip to
perennial hay crops, shrubs or trees.
When adequate cove has been estab
lished, w'ater may be discharged safe
ly on such areas.
State Hospital
ATLANTA, Nov. 26. —As a vast
new building program, launched by
Gov. E. D. Rivers, is about to get
under way at the state hospital for
the insane at Milledgeville, Lamar
Murdaugh, state director of public
welfare, revealed today that in the
last year approximately 86 per cent,
of 1,305 patients furloughed or dis
charged from the institution were
cured or improved.
The building program of Gov. Riv
ers will remedy many aggravating
conditions at the hospital, Murdaugh
said, and “in addition to giving the
patients a greater degree of comfort
and safety, with a necessary increas
ed amount of privacy, better results
in their treatment should be attained.
“One of the greatest problems of
the institution is in receiving pa
tients generally who have been suf
fering from mental illnesses long
enough for - the disease to be far
progressed. The earlier treatment is
begun in all types of cases, the bet
ter are the chances for recoveries.”
A general feeling is developing,
however, Murdaugh said, that mental
illnesses are as normal as physical
illnesses and that most types of men
tal diseases can be treated as defi
nitely as physical diseases.
A department for voluntary com
mitment of patients, without resort
to legal instead of medical or psy
chological process, would prove vast
ly beneficial in speedier cure of a rel
atively large number of cases, he as
serted.
Murdaugh said due to the general
change in attitude toward mental ill
nesses, the scope of the state hospit
al’s service to the state could be en
larged by a volunary commitment de
partment which would make avail
able treatment to those who are un
able to enter private institutions at
a stage in mental disease which
would make it more possible for the
institution to effect a cure.
Such a department, he said, would
prevent the development of acute
mental illnesses in many instances
and would relieve the regular hos
pital of much of the pressure on it.
There are about patients at the
institution at the present time. Dr.
John D. Oden is super inendent.
Another step forward in a state
wide program to provide greater serv
ice to society, Murdaugh said, would
be the establishment of branch clin
ics throughout the state so that the
services of psychiatrists would be
available to all private physicians de
siring them. Benefit from these clin
ics to persons suffering from mental
illness would be a quicker cure and
less likelihood of prolonged hospital
occupancy.
“While officials of the institution
recognize the necessity of proper
custodial care for the hopelessly vio
lent insane,” Murdaugh said, “they
are attempting to operate a hospital
for the treatment and cure of mental
diseases and to discourage use of the
hospitals as a custodian for the se
nile and other harmless types for
whom there is no possibility of bet
terment mentally.”
Murdaugh said popular conception
of the institution is far removed from
that which prevailed when it was
opened in 1842 when it was regarded
as “asylum for lunatics.”
