4 THURS., MARCH 21, 1946 Religious Discussion Events in Oregon RED CROSS’ COUNTY DRIVE SAID LAGGING M’MINNVILLE — The Re'. Cross collections in Yamhill coun ty were lagging badly last week as Fund Drive Chairman Rev. C. C. Barnes issued an appeal f r greater effort on the part cf con tributors and workers. Collecrions for the 1946 fund drive on Wednesday had totaled only $5593.35 as compared with $15,- 439.17 on hand at the same time in 1945. Quota for the county "this year has been set at $15,000, a lower figure than those of war years. REGISTERED VOTE IN STATE SLUMPS SALEM—The total registra tion of Oiegon voters for the forthcoming primary election will be approximately eight per cent less than the previous primary it is estimated by David O’Hara, superintendent of elections in the office of secretary of state. He attributes the slump to the closing down of war industries and the return of war workers to their former homes. INSULUATION COMES FOR FOODS UNIT FOREST GROVE—Insulation for the freezing room and re frigerators at the new Hudson- Duncan plant now under con struction on Second avenue NE has been inloaded. Total of eight carlrads of cork has been received ready for the time it will be used in the walls of the freezing room. FISH, GAME GROUP BEING ORGANIZED WILLAMINA—Several sports men met in Sheridan last week and set up an organization known as the Tri-County Fish and Game club that will promote the p eservation and conserva tion of wildlife. Th? group is encouraging the active support of sportsmen from the local area, neludrng Yamhill, Polk and Til- smcok counties. It is the opinion of many portsmen that far some time onservation and preservation cf vildlife in the region ha< beon leglected. And it is through this arganization that sportsmens of the tri-county area hope to bring abcut better fishing and hinting. School Room Prayer —“I make a prayer and read the Bible each day as school opens and out of it we have def inite good.” So said the teacher of the one-room country school. Yes—they honor the Lord and says he—"Them that honor me I will honor and they the despise me shall be 1 ghtly esteemed.”— Bible. Now turn to New Guinea in the South Pacific where the kid dies in the public schools are taught to read out of the Bible as their text book. And it was only just yesterday that the Gos pel came to the Island and lifted their fathers out of cann.balism. Step in and listen as they real how Christ showed the love of God for the common peapie. Yes, the common people who forever 'lave lived inder the curse of •ags, diseaie and superstition. Listen as they read how Christ nnde t ie blind to see, the lame Io walk and raised the dead back Io life. For God was in Christ. God in a human body setting forth his love for the people. Follow on to the great day when He bowed His holy head in death to clear such of us as accept Him as Lord and Savior. And what for our kiddies in this America of broken homes, crimes, li st, drink, profanity? Let them learn how God yearns to win them also. Get them up a bit earlier—gather them round •—turn to Luke’s Gospel, chap. 8:21-25 and read how Christ proved Himself the Creator by speaking to the waves and quiet ing them. So do and better days are on the way. £c> THE EAGLE, VERNONIA, ORE. - S. W| McChesney, P.d„ Port land 1, Ore. This space paid for by Portland family. HOME WATERPROOFING Applying war - developed re search to living conveniences and jobs, an oil company is offering a wax emulsion which can. be added to the rinse water of the family wash to provide an easy and economical means of making clothing drapes and other tex tiles water-resistant. Members of congress are say ing that continuance cf wartime regimentation is about the only answer the administration has tc peacetime^ problems. “The Second Chance” It It Scriptural? PART FIVE No one who ever lived was more opptsed to the teaching of another chance for salvation after Christ’s second coming than our Lord Himself, and no or.e ever condemned it mere strong ly than He. And Christ is to be o.r teacher and our Example. Let us read .ome of His divine warnings against this deception which is naturally so popular with the human heart. The first is in Luke 12:45,46.— Their conviction was strength ened by Chester Bowles’ testi mony before the hbuse banking and currency committee, to say nothing of other recent develop ments. “But and if that servant say in his heart, my Lord delayeth His coming; and shall beg n to beat the manservants and maid ens, and to eat and drink, and to be drunken; the Lord of that servant will ccme in a day when he lroketh not f r him, and at an hour when he is not aware, and will cut him in sunder, and will appoint him his portion with the unbelievers.” Do you notice what He says here? He plainly states that the servant whg is not ready for His master to come will sha’-t the portion of the UNBELIEVERS. And what does the Bible say abcut their portion? Here is the answer in Rev. 12:8. “But the fearf 1 and unbelieving (notice the unbelieving) . . . shall have their part (or port on) in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.” So you see that, accord ing to the words of Christ, it is the SECOND DEATH and n t a SECOND CHANCE which awaits all, both Jew and Gentile, who are not ready when our Lord comes again. Jesus uses the example of the destruction of the wicked at the t me of the flood and cf the de struction of the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah as a warning to those who will be unprepared when the Lord comes the second time. Speaking of the days of Ncah, Jesus sa:d:— “They did eat, they drank, they married wives, they were given in mar riage, until the day that Noah entered the ark. and the flood came, and DESTROYED THEM ALL. Likewise also as it was in the days of Lot; they did eat, they d:ank, they bought, they s Id, they planted, they budded; but the same day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brim stone from heaven, and DE STROYED THEM ALL, EVEN THUS SHALL IT BE IN THE DAY WHEN THE SON . OF MAN IS REVEALED. Luke 17:27-30. Here we are told that “the flood came, and destroyed them all;” that “it rained fire and brimstone from heaven, and de stroyed them all.” Then Jesus makes the application to the day cf His return, saying: “Even thus shall it be in the day when the Son of man is revealed.” Jesus used these examples to teach that there will be no sec ond chance for the wicked after His second coming.

As you know, that’s an old bug with me. The land is our l fe. The machine is'our death. It is for war and has brought ill to the land. How to team up land and machine and work them together in a good way, is the idea of this gook. “Thirty years younger, and I could go for the idea. Put not now, in this time.” The old woodsman shook his head, then mused in quiet while he filled his pipe. “Man has grown too proud with his infernal ma chines.” he went on slowly. “Man is rearing and snorting to get into another fight w th his jet planes, rockets, and atom bombs, while still in agony and bleed ing from the last war. I hear war talked everywhere. I Fea- no peace. And never anything at the bottem cf the war talk but the* vanity of the idiot and the ego of the maniac—that is, the vanity and ego of machine cra-ed men. “Yet the land of the earth is all we have. The soil is our true treasure, and the apes and fools we are, we blow it vp, burn it up. plow it foi me dust storm and the flood, and ther- wise waste the real gift cf life on the earth. Hate for each other and ruin for the land. Such is the rule of human kind all over the world. Why are wo proud? AFTER A FERN FIRE Thoughtful Bill stared in dis mal brooding at the splash of rain against the windows of the fire hall. The true trouble on his mind, I knew, was a black 80 acres and more, the result of the worst fern fire in his dis trict to date. At least 80,000 seedling Douglas first has been burned to death with the fern. It was just another of the land clearing fires that ravage mil lions of America’s forest acres year after year. The seed trees on the 80 had been burned too. The good land would be black ruin until it could be planted by hand. I picked up the little book that Thoughtful Bill had been read ing, from his desk. It was a new one called “Tomorrow’s Trade.” The author was Stuart Chase. I looked over the first couple of pages. Then I read this: “Our small globe makes its way through illimitable space carrying some two billion human beings in its shallow curtain of atmosphere. Shallower still is the layer of humus soil cn which all land life depend . . . The planet’s surface ¡3 about 1196 million square miles. The United States covers 3 million . . . The over whelming mass of mankind lives on the 25 mi Ton square milei or so where the humus is at least 3 inches thick . . . There is not. enough to allow recurring waves of devastation in planetary wars, or savage onslaughts upon irre placeable raw materials . . I read a bit aloud, and re marked to the old warden that he was probably thinking of the fern fire as such a “savage on slaught.” THE GREEN HOPE “f was thinking of more than that,” said Thoughful Bill. “Trees are not an irreplaceable raw material. They are a green and growing hope for the earth, should man once get scared enough to swallow his lust to hate and kill his own kind. That will be a time when undreamed of ruin will lie upon the one- eighth of the earth's surface on which man lives from the soil— with people everywhere more scared of starvation than of any thing else. “There will still be trees, there will always be trees,” affirmed Thoughtful Bill Haggerty. “And in ruin men will yet have the know-how to make food from trees. Then men and machines may stop being a team for mur der and suicide and start being a team for good on the earth. Even the man-caused forest fire will be stopped. It all might happen in due time—say some 97 thou sand years from now.” CARRY YOUR OWN CANOE A sectional plastic 14)6 foot canoe which you can ?arry in two small zipper bags and assemble in 10 minutes when you reach the water is being turned out by an enterprising manufacturer, converting from wartime avia tion devices. “i lost 52 Lbs.!

LYNCH AUTO PARTS Phone 773 RIVERVIEW Seme congressmen are wonder ing whether price controls and other controls are not creating a situation where they will be self perpetuating. As the reimpozltion of wartime controls—mre thar six months after VJ day—create.1 new p’oblcms, the new problem* themselves would seem to lead tc Etill more controls. Mr. Bowles’ appearance before the committee made it clear that the administration’s new wage price policy is really nothing new The only departure of conse quence from the previous pricing policy was that henceforth an employer does not have to- wait six months before he asks for a price increase to offset a wage inc-ease. OPA, the testimony showed felt that once volume produeti n is attained, industry will make large prefits regardless of the fact that all cost increases are not allowed. But many industries and business feel differently and this helps explain recent decline: in production.
