Mrs. Warner Presents
Interesting Lesson
Mrs. E. N. Warner presented a most
Interesting lesson on prophecies of
Amos, Obedlah and Mlcah at the
Tuesday meeting of the Weekly Bible
elass. A few of the points brought
out in her lesson on each were as
follows:
"Amos lived In the southern king
dom, but prophesied to the people of.
nnpthArn fclns-dom. He indicted
six natlona Damascus, Tyrus, Edom,
Moab, Ammon and Phinstia. Many
of his prophecies have been fulfilled,
vnt thn fin aaalnet Isrsel In the
irtith chanter la an Indictment
agalnat the present age. In thla he
prophesies a famine, but not a fam
ine of bread, nor a thirst for water,
but of hearing the words of the Lord:
And they shall wander from sea to
u. n,4 rmm the north even to the
east, they shall run to and fro to
seek the word of the Lord, ana enaji
not find It. .
"Obedlah waa the earliest of the
prophets and la the shortest book In
the Old Testament. He prophesies
agstnat Edom and condemns It for Its
elation over the fall of Jerusalem
and the captivity of the whole na
tion of Israel.
Mlcah prophesies against Samaria,
against the p'rtnoea and rulers of
Israel for their hatred of Judgment,
and aays, "The hesda thereof Judge
for reward, and the priests thereof
teach for hire, and the prophets
thereof divine for money." He also
ahows that national sins lead to na
tional downfall. Mlcah prophaslea
many of the details of the birth of
Christ and of hla rejection, as well
as of the future Messianic kingdom.
Mrs. Ellen Doran brought the m's
aage In song and was accompanied
by Mlsa Joyce Doran.

the San Francisco Examiner:
"Commercial Finance Corporation
declared a dividend for the last half

per annum on Its preferred stock,
which amounts to M i share.
"Commercial Finance Corporation,
a subsidiary of Mercantile Acceptance
Corporation of California, has been
engnged In the automobile finance
business In southern Oregon for the
last seven years.
"Payment of this dividend for the
last half of 1933 marks the thirteenth
consecutive semi-annual dividend paid
by the company.
"Earnings for the last half of the
year were more than double the pre
ferred dividend rate, due to the large
Increase In automobile sales in the

SUGGESTS REPLAY
By John Reddy
Members of southern Oregon's
newest independent basketball five,
the Drops cat Athletic club, appear
unconcerned over charges made in a
signed article In this paper, that
their wrlteup of the game between
the club quintet and the St. Mary's
All -Stars contained Inaccuracies.
They casually counter-charged that
the game report was as nearly accu
rate aa It was possible to make It
under the conaitions, wun no u-1
thorlzed scorekeeper, timekeeper or ;
HfM tsnrt that, their version of 1
the outcome could be as reliably ac-,
cepted as that of their opponents. i
The acore claimed by St. Mary's.'
the DropseaU alleged, was purely aa
arbitrarily named as thelr's was said
to have been, and they suggest a
replay aa Vie only logical settlement.
Aside from the point that they
held no strict accuracy was obtain
able, the club players treated the
matter facetiously. Jack Boyl, storm
center of charges as widely varying
as having been the hero of the game,
and again of not having even been
there, seemed bored by the whole af
fair and referred to the matter as
"Juvenile to say the least." He went
even further in his resentment with
what he termed "association with
their silly little game."
The club players responsible for
the disputed report conceded them
selves hasty In claiming a win that
reflected so little credit even were It
possible to authenticate, and, with
that reportorlal misstep to guide
them, pointed out inaccuracies in the
statement of the charges against
them. The members of the club
team admittedly were more amused
than concerned by such statements
an the All-Stars' self nomination as
"Medford's leading basketball team"
despite a trouncing from Medford
high school's fourth string, and by
the startling finale to the charges,
which stated that In the second half
"St. Mary's academy entered the con
test." St. Mary's academy, the Drop
seats pointed out, can still be seen
at the corner of Eleventh and Holly
streets and In any case wouldn't fit

"Maybe now X can pay back part of

from doing it,"
The foreman reported to the local
committee today that his unhired,
unpaid workman is the beat in the
crew.
