4 THURS., FEB. 21, 1946 THE EAGLE, themselves in the dens and in the rocks of the mountains. And taid to the mountains and rocks, fall on us, and hide us from the face of Him that sitteth on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb. For the great day of His wrath is come; and who shall be able to stand?” Never has the world witnessed such a prayer meeting as this. Notice that it is because “the great day of His wrath is come” that they pray. That day which they thought, and said, was nev er coming has suddenly come un. expectedly “as a thief in the night” and in their despair and sense of condemnation they are crying out, “ And who shall be able to stand?” There is intima tion here of a “second chance” for those who are not ready when that day ccmes. Then it will b: too late to*go back and live life over again. Listen, father, mother, What has your influence been? What is it now on those fine boys dnd girls that God has put in your keep ing? G.F.

Vernonia, Oregon Events in Oregon K1WANIS DREAM OF PERFECT CITY • GRESHAM—A total of 25 ideas for the betterment of the city, running the gamut from street diaining and paving to de velopment of higher moral and spiritual standards, were ad vanced by members of Gresham Kiwanis Club at the program during the reg.lar club meeting held last Monday evening. EDITOR'S VOTE: This newspaper, through special arrangement with the ITashington Bureau of Western Neus- paper I nion at 1616 Eve Street, N. If Washington, IE C., is able to briny read ers this weekly column on problems of the veteran and sen iceman and his fam ily. Questions may be addressed to the above Bureau and they will be answered in a subsequent column. No replies can be made direct by mail, but only in the column which will appear in this news paper regularly. It was announced that similar programs held in other commun ities had brought some surpris- ingl” good results in communi ty betterment. The Washington office of Western Newspaper Union has received scores of letters from parents, wives, sweethearts and friends of men in service, ell asking when their loved ones will get out of the service. We cannot answer these let ters with any degree of accuracy because there is no way of ascer taining when men with a given num ber of points in a given theatre will be released. There are too many circumstances which must be con sidered in any particular area. Here, however, is the promise of Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower, made in his recent address before a joint session of congress January 15. as regards enlisted men: “By April 30. 1946. all enlisted men. except volunteers, with 45 points as of September 2. 1945, or with 30 months’ service as of April 20. 1946, will be separated from the army or aboard ship returning home. “By June 30. 1946. all enlisted men, except volunteers, with 40 points as of September 2. 1945. or with 24 months’ service as of June 30. 1946, will be separated from the army or aboard ship returning home.’’ General “Ike” further said that whether this rate of discharge can be maintained depends directly upon the rate of replacements or inflow into the army. So this com mitment is limited to July 1, 1946. COUNTY AGAIN TO HAVE BIG l'AIR HILLSBORO— Hillsboro will be the scene of a regular eld- fashioned county fair with all the trimmings’ this summer, it was announced following a meeting of the Washington county fair boaid. The board made the de cision to go back to the “aH-out” type of fair in view of the fact the war is over and fairground buildings will once again be available.

Your Grave Tc Open * Mora Sawn 11 “Argifyin’ ”... Last wc.k this column told about a sawmill lunch hour ar gument in which tn: Ed Barker put stingers in old Geo gc Taylor by classing him as a “conser vative." It left George taken down a number of notches. He kept a g-ilty, shamefaced look all afternoon but he joined the gang at lunch hour next day with fire in hi^ .e-'e. Fetching some papers from his mackinaw pocket, he waved them at Ed Barker. “New ca'.l me a conservative to put me to shame!” he yelled. “Jest try calling me it as a name! Jest do it! And make it sound as mean as you like, and see if you can make me feel like a skunk any more. I got an idy last night and looked up all about it in the dictionary over’t the free library. Copied down the definitions. Read’em Ed Barke.-; then pas’ ’em abound.” The first sheet read; Conservative. 1. A conservative pgent or principle; a preservative a preserver; a conserver. 2. A member of the Conserva tive Party; a Tory. Eng. 3. A conservative person; an adherent cf conservatism. The Conservator . . . “Them defin tions ain’t so clear and convincing as they might be,” admitted old George. “So I dug up some more. Look at these hers.” We read: Conservatism. Conservative principles; the disposition and tendency to preserve what is es tablished; opposition to change; the habit of mind, or conduct of a conservative. “Funny about dang words,” said George Taylor—“How they can knock you over when you don’t think what they mean. Here Ed got my goat by calling me a conservative, bet if he’d called me a conservator I wouldn’t ’a' thought a thing, except that may be he was tryin’ to be smart.” “Smart, nothing,” growled Ed “Never heard cf such a word. What the dangnation does it mean?” “Here’s the definition. Take a look, all of you.” We read: Conservator. One who pre serves from injury or violation; a protector; a preserver. “It done me a heap of good to find that last one,” said old George, “for I still couldn’t help but feel some guilty about being a conservative in overalls. But there you are. A conservator is a conservative, only more so. And I can be a conservator with a clean conscience, for that word hasn’t any blame. It’s just being a home guard that's all. Now. with that off our minds, we can talk free and comfor’ble once again. You mind. Ed Barker, we’re going to talk on the pros pecks for automobiles and the like from now on. Politics has had its turn. You just stay shut up about politics.” “Well, I give up," said Ed sadly. “I plumb g.ve you up, George Taylor. You're simply one of the sleepin' masses the lead ers is tryin' to arouse and edu cate. I've done all I could. A bigheatred leader hisself could n’t do no more. Here I’ve been tellin’ you all the inside facts which the rotten newspapers is hidin’, but you’re too bu.l-headed to be educated. Tryin’ to argy with definitions from the diction ary! Them! As if they ameut to anything against tha inside facts. But you’ve proved to me what the trouble is, George Taylor— too many bull-headpd conserva tives in overalls. I gqcsz it .ain’t no rse. I give up.” “No ute,” said old Georgs grimly. “Millions more just ¡ike I am. Conservatives in overalls, that’s us. But not slaves in shackles—don’t talk that to me again. Now, then, talking of au tomobiles, I’m, figgciing to buy a . . .” Ed Barker kept quiet and just looked contemptuous as the gab about the new cars of 1946 ran on. Probably he was interested, but he’d hava died bef_r< admit ting it. All the dead shall c.me forth, said Jesu3. Every soul from Adam down, kings and common folk, all shall come forth and in two resurrections, a thousand years apart. Christ is to raise God’s people first and a thou sand years later, He is to raise the lest dead for judgement. One by one, men a-e born into this world. One by one, they sin and come in for judgement and God’s wrath. But Gcd is not willing that any should perish and so it was that he sent Christ, his Son to die for the sins of all mankind. Let ycur heart believe that Christ died for your sins and Gcd counts you in and p ts your name in the Bock of Life and you are of the first ressur- rccH->n—to be raised to glory. —“He that be’ieveth cn the S n hath eternal life and he that be- lieveth not the Son sail not see life, but the wrath of G-d abid- c‘h on him.” —John 3:36— BI- ELE.

It Is Certainly Not Rash To Get Cash In A Flash From What You Think Hash. SELL IT IN THE CLASSIFIED. VICTORY OVER INFLATION Religious Discussion “The Second Chance” IS IT SCRIPTURAL? Part Two When as recorded in Matt. 241 3, the disciples came to Jesus and inquired, “What shall bt the sign of Thy coming, and of the end of the world ” His very first words were, “Take heed that no man deceive yoc.’” And we believe that, after reading the- scriptural statements in these articles, you will agree that one of the greatest deceptions of this age is the idea that, after the second coming of Christ, mil lions cf both Jews and Gentiles will find pardon and salvation. Such teaching is calculated to put a dampe- on the world-wide pieaching of the gospel in this general on, for the conscious or unconcious argument is this: If the gospel is to go to multitudes again alter the second coming of Christ, why sacrifice and labor for its completion now? But what does the Bible say about this? As we read our first text, you will see that the sudden coming of Christ, will quickly start the greatest prayer meet ing of all history. When the day cf the Lord comes as a their, millions will be surprised and unready, and they will begin to pray, but these prayers will be petitions of despair. The old are going to pray; the young are going to pray. Rich men will pray; the poor will pray. Lost church members are going to pray, the infidels will pray. Both the deceivers and de ceived will pray. Millions will pray out loud. They will not care who is looking at them nor if they hear what they are say ing. thev are going to pray pub licly. They are going to pray kneeling in the streets, on the public highways—everywhere. As they feel the earth shaking and hear the trumpet sounding in the clouds, they will surge forth in consternation from crowded the aters, night clubs, palatial res idences, costly apartments, bus iness houses—from everywhere to prostrate themselves before the coming of the Son of man “In the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.” Mat. 24: 30. We read of that day of un answered prayer in Rev. 6:14-17. “And the heaven departed as a scroll when it is rolled together; an every mountain and island were moved out of their places. And the kings of the earth, and the great men. and the rich men, and the chief captains, and the mighty men. and every bond man, and every free man, hid Enforcing price regulations is a much tougher job for the OPA now that the war has been won. All of us are weary of ccntrols, and there’s a tendency to let down. However, if we neglect to watch our ceiling prices on ev ery cost-of-living item we buy— then we’re deliberctely sacrific ing all the gains we have scored vp to now in our fight against inflation. I want to emphasize that OPA’s policy is to remove price controls as soon as it is safe to do so—that means when the supply begins to approach the demand. As to when that will be, the answer depends on produc tion. If wc can solve our labor difficulties and ease the shortage of some materials, OPA can get its honorable discharge very soon. And when that time does come, no one will be happier than your local price control board. Because the fact that we are able to go out of business will mean that we’re traveling in high gear, on the road to the economic secur ity and prosperity.
