Cutler gave a very force ful sermon Thursday evening at the First Baptist church to the people who say "There la Jpo much to give up." Scripture upon which his sermon was built was "What shall It profit a man if he shall gain the whole world and lose his own soul?" Young people," said Cutler, "are willing to say that Jesus Is the Son of Qod and that He calls us to serv ice for Him but they say, 'There Is too much to give up.' We are right in counting the cewt of religion because It is expensive but it cost God and His Son Infinitely more than It will cost us. We have failed to think that Christianity calls for the very best In us. People come into the church and then find that their member ship Is going to cost them some thing that It Isn't free then they say, 'Oh, there is too much to give up.' But even though It may cost us greatly It pays a great deal more than It costs. "You will never give Ood an hour of your time nor a dime of your money but he returns more than you gave. He has promised to return to us a hundred fold." Again, Mr. Cutler, stressed that fact that the things we are asked to give up are nothing compared to what we have to gain. The real joy and real thrill In life is that of serving Jesus. Being young people's night the young people were featured in the program. The chorus choir sang. "Master, the Tempest Is Raging," and the young ladles'1 quartet sang,, "List to the Voice." The subject for tonight is "What We Know About the Second Coming of Christ," without speculation or ex citement. Come and enjoy our welcome.

RFC FUNDS TO HELP NORTH' BEND BANK Meteorological Report FOR ROSE BOWL STILL UNKNOWN PASADENA, Cal., Nov. 34. (AP) The western representative for the annual rose tournament football game here January 1, 1934. positively has not been selected and probably will not be named for some weeks to come. Hal Reynolds of the Rose Bowl committee said today. I'm ready to make my annual de nial," said Reynolds, "that any team has been selected. No selection will be made before Saturday and prob ably not for several weeks to come. As in other years, the western rep resentative will be selected from the Pacific coast conference members at meeting to be called by the Rose tournament committee. The vote of the southern California newspaper men will decide the selection where the conference title Is clouded, such as Is apt to be the case this year. On the basis of this, Stanford. Cali fornia and Southern California are the most outstanding contenders. Should Stanford bent California to morrow, the Indians probably will get the call. Should the Golden Bears win. any one of five members of the group have an outside chance or bet ter, with the three leading California Institutions still holding the edge. While the general opinion prevails that it would be best for the Rose Bowl game If the Trojans did not get the bid the third straight yenr. de feat of Stanford, along with victories over Notre Dame, Georgia and Wash ington probably would force the Tro jans into the picture. The general opinion here was that Oregon's 26 to 0 defeat made the chances of the Webfoots very remote and a defeat by St. Mary's probably would eliminate them entirely. November 24, 1033. Forecasts.

An eerie, spooky motion picture which for sheer mystery outdoes ell its predecessors Is "White Zombie," which opened at the Studio theater this afternoon. This picture may safely be said to be In a class by Itself. For It deals with a subject which heretofore has been little short of superstition, and a not very well known one at that. Its story deals with occult practices in remote sections of Haiti where Zombies, or dead bodies, are dug from their graves and, by a process of sor cery, re-antmated and put to work in the fields and mills as slaves.
