Berryton Message
Matt-24-42: “Watch therefore,
for ye know not what hour your
Lord doeth come.”
We should watch like a child
looking for it’s father from a
long journey. I can see the child
in my mind, sitting at the win
dow with a solid look through
the rain and mist that sweeps
over the fields When mother
takes notice to the little sincere
face turned to the window look
ing through the dark shades of
the rainy day, she may ask the
child, “Darling what are you
looking at2J’ The reply, “Mother,
I am looking for daddy, he said
he would be back and I am
watching for him. He has always
done as he said and I know he is
coming on his way somewhere.”
Yes, and dearest friends, we
are as God’s people now looking
through avail of tears and much
disappointment and through
many wicked dark hours of radio
and daily paper news of deaths,
storms, strikes, wars, heart aches,
floods. But thank God through
the mist of the darkest days I
am looking for the promise of
Christ. He left with the disciples
St. John-14-3, “And if I go and
prepare a place for you I will
come again and receive you unto
Myself, that where I am there
ye may be also.”
And it is true Jesus went away
and likewise will He come again.
Let us watch with our eyes. Let
us watch by being prepared. Let
us watch by supporting God’s
Kingdom work, backing up the
Church and reading the Bible
and dealing fairly with our fel
low man.
We are heard over WGWD,
Gadsden, station each Saturday
9:30 a. m., Ga. time and come
to the Berryton Baptist Church
each Sunday and to Chesterfield
Baptist Church 2:00 p. m. Ala.

completely exhausted our emer
gency funds.’ ’
Mr. Hammond listed two pri
mary reasons for greater dona
tions than ever before during the
campaign. On the one hand
there is the ever present threat
of a local infantile paralysis
epidemic, such as last year’s
crippling attacks in ' parts of
North Carolina and California,
while on the other hand is the
tremendously high cost of after
care for those stricken.
“Funds of local chapters were
soon exhausted,” Mr. Hammond
said. “Then they found how im
portant was the emergency fund
at national headquarters. Ap
peals were promptly met with
additional funds.
“Similar epidemic conditions
may be duplicated here in Chat
tooga County. Greater donations
to the March of Dimes campaign
will enable us to fight back if
the dreaded disease hits here at
home,” Mr. Hammond stated.
“Our donations of dimes and
dollars are the bullets on which
the shock-troops in the field de
pend. And the shock-troops are
the physicians and nurses. Their
equipment consists of the iron
lungs and hospital beds, the
thousand and one items without
which a polio army cannot
fight.”
The actual battle aoes not end
with the end of the epidemic, Mr.
Hammond warned. March of
Dimes funds must also provide
for after-care of polio victims,
and that may reach SIO,OOO or
