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

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.

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

which the rotten newspapers is

to be educated. Tryin’ to argy

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.

your sins. Now it is for you to
receive Him into your heart and

“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.
