Volume 23
Members of the faculty and
patrons of Cross Roads school
are making plans for a Hallo
ween Carnival to be held at the
school building, Friday evening,
November Ist., at 8 o’clock.
Interest seems to be centered
around the selection of a Queep
to reign over the Carnival, which
will be done by popular vote.
Since a tinge of rivalty seems to
exist among the young people,
this promises to beone of the
more enteresting and enthusi=~
astic affairs of the evening. Other
features include: Trying your
luck in the Fish pond; Walking
the Witches trail to the chamber
of Horrors; and a Cake walk.
This a benefit entertainment,
and the entire amount of the
proceeds will go to the school.
The public is cordially invited to{
attend.

God has a program and Ilis|
program will “‘go over’ sooner
or later. The plan of redemption
will be finally consummated.
Creation will be restored to
edenic plenty. The work of the
devil will be brought to naught.
We may differ about how this
program will be carried on, but
the Bible sets forth two essential
things. First, it pleased God by
the foolishness of preaching to
pespie’’. In this church age the
gospel is reaching the Jost. Men
are being saved. This church age
will come to an end. Then, ac
cording to the writer’s under~
standing of the scripture Jesus
Christ will come back to this
earth literally, bodily. visibly,
and will reign on the earth. He
will be Kings of Kings and Lord
of Lords. There is to be a new
heaven and a new earth and forx
mer things are to pass away. We
Christians are faithful to God are
on the winning side. Vietory
may be delayed, but victory is
gsure. All the things of the world
are vanity. Temporal things will
pass away. The unseen things
are eternal. Viccory is coming. It
may be high.
My son, Dr. Bob Jones, Jr.,
acting president of the Bob
Jones College and head of thei
history departmentof the institu- |
tion asked me recently if I had
noticed that the Bible teaches
that Abraham believed God and
it was counted unto him for
righteousness and then further
on in the same chapter it says
that Abraham asked God fora
sign. The Lord demanded a sacri
fiice. Abraham divided the sacri.
fice and put it in two piles and
for the rest of the day he spent

Hammock, of Scott, has been
fixed at $2,000, but has not been

Sheriff Rowland added that he
also had a request from the U.S.
department of justice to hold
him on a federal white slave
charge. The Johnson county
othcer was not advised when de

his time keeping the vultures
laway. If we trusted God more
instead of asking for a sign we
wouldn’t have to spend so much
time fighting the vultures. The
experience of the writer teaches
him that prac‘ically all the
trouble we have comes from the
fact that we do not trust in God.
We rely upon the arm of the flesh
or we depend upon uncertain
riches. We ask God for a sign
and then we spend our lives
driving the vultures of sorrow
away from us. Remember, we
Christians are to walk by faith
and not by sight.

FINISHES COURSE.]
It may prove of interestto our
readers to learn that R. O. Hat
taway a resident of Wheeler, has
just completed a practical course
of training, after several months
of intensive study in the Chicago
| Training Shops.
| The writer feels that this is
worthy of special mention, in
| view of the exceptional recoad of
|accomplishment of countyman
{while at the school. The rigid
L requirements of the institution
| make a record such as he has
| established, a distinct achieves
| ment. We are confident that the
| specialized knowledge he has
|aquired, shovld make him a
| credit to our community,

| AN EARLY PRIMARY
b e
. 1f you have good hard business
| since you are willing to admit
[ that your present condition and.
{and plight of poverty that you
|are in, has been brought about
| by the official life in the manage
{ ment of your own government,
|| God has not diminished the
| plenifulness of earth’s produc
tivity and we are still suscepti
ble of the greatest yields from
sur fields. Yet in the midstof
vthis wonderful productivity, we
|are in want. Then what has
brought it about?
You did this your self in cast-~
|ing your ballot. You do not vote
|in Pennsylvania, Wisconsin or
| California. Yu vote right down
| here in your own Georgia and
| the Georgia laws require you to
vote not only in your own county,
| but in your own malitiae district
|into which the county is divided.
Now if this is all so isn’t your|
| vote of the greatest importance
to you and to your family? How
| many votes have you in your
| family and are they all ready for
| the battle when an election is
called which is being worked up
|now by the powers that be, so
| that throngh the means of an
early primary the people will not
have an honest chance to select
their officials? You have got to do
som.e voting in the future if you
ever expect to keep your family
{out of the slave pen. And that’s
where they are bound for, unless
you get real busy right quick.
If you are not interested you
ought to stop your bellyaching
about the plight you are in. It
does not matter which way you
go, whether from your official
life in a county or byway of our
adjoining county up through At
lanta and on into Washington, D.
C. up into Wall Screet, or wheth- |
er you come back out of Wall
street down by Washington|
through Atlantaand back by your |
adjoining county and back home, |
either way you travel is a perfect |
way—for the Politician, but the |
heluvaway for you. j
See your executive committee~|
man in youor district and have
him give youa primary after
your work is finished next sum-|
mer 80 you can get around and|
talk political matters over and|
see just what you do want. No- |
vember 1936 when the final elect |
ion for your county officials are
to take office the Ist., of January
1937 is a long time off, and an
|early primary is for one purpose
orly—to chisel you out of your
rights as a citizen.
