Mrs. J. E. Ellington, Editor
Sunday Theme Revival—
The revival in City of Samaria
gave Bible setting for Rev. L. L
Burkhalter, Sunday morning. The
great text Acts 8 "Philip went
down and preached Christ to them.
The people, with one accord, gave
heed to those things which Philip
spake and there was great joy
in that city." Definite characteris-
tics of revival dwelt upon prayer,
Bible reading and testimony.
Philip was fresh from the revi-
val of Pentecost. His message and
his life was centered in Jesus and
so it must be today to reach the
lost. Humanism possesses many
centers of learning. The war is
knocking this false-teaching, men
facing death want God. The mes-
sage of the Bible is Christ, the
crucified son of God for the re-
demption of the world. Never will
war be banished until we evange-
lize the world.
Closing with call for consecra-
tion of self and service for the re-
vival. In prayer, Bible reading and
testimony let us go out in seek-
ing to reach others for our Lord.
All are invited cordially to come
and share in the services, to re-
ceive a blessing and to be a bless-
ing during the revival to begin
Sunday.
Revival August 1-8—
Services beginning Sunday, Aug
ust 1 at Queen City Baptist church
Rev. Ben Stripling the assisting
preacher. Pastor Itev. Burkhalter
is holding junior and adult choir
meeting this week. Visitation
groups and special prayer meet-

ger service. May all christians of
Queen City unite in this soul-sav-
ing campaign. Services only ono

ery service. Morning at 10:00 o'-
clock and evening service.

ris College is glad herald. Lon Mor

val Officer in charge of the Cadets

clares "Production will go over
now that two of Queen City's real
workers have entered as defense
workers." Not hard to guess who.

oring Mr. and Mrs. Estel Barnes
and daughter Sylvia of Clear

A War Hero—
Mrs. Anna Walker, of Mass.,
was cited before U. S. Congress
as a war hero for her outstanding
contributions. She is mother of 6
children, three of them are nurses
one in air corps, one in Red Cross
and one in training. A son in arm I MARIETTA
ed forces till recent medical dis-
charge, but Mrs. Walker doesn't
stop there. She gives untiring ef-
forts in war bond and stamp sales
with remarkable success. Day af-
ter day she reminds her co-work-
ers of the urgent necessity that
we all buy bonds and stamps to
the utmost of our ability.
Buying bonds and stamps we
are helping our country and sav-
ing for ourselves. Be sure the day
is coming when we will need every
dollar saved and the satisfaction
of having helped to win the war
will be double reward.
This Week's Subs—
W. H. Daniel, Queen City, $1.50
Mrs. Frances Jones, Sebring,
Florida, $2.50.
Cecil Stanley, Queen City, $1.50
Money Coming In—
But not fast enough is money
coming in on pews and pulpit fur-
niture for the Methodist church.
The time for delivery will soon be
here. You and you and you can not
afford to fail in sharing in this big
task of the church. Bring or send
your offering at once. Buy a pew,
a blessing to you and to the church
Proving Our Loyalty—
In this period when more church
people are working for more mon-
ey than will be possible after the
war, officials in church and those
in state affairs, are urging the
bringing of churches to the front,
in clearance of debts, of church
improvements, refurnishing of the
churches.
Thus Queen City Methodists felt
that this was the logical time for
refurnishing their church. These
70 year old pews were uncomfort-
able and miserably impaired. Pul-
pit furniture sorely needed. So
this is the time and your opportu-
nity to prove your loyalty to your
church. Buy a pew and help all you
can.
Every Methodist sharing,
Every Methodist bearing,
The load will be lifted,
And clouds will be rifted.
Render unto God His share.
With our share buy war bonds,
help our country and save for our
future needs.
Maurice Thomas at Seattle
On return from last furlough,
Maurice Thomas was transferred
from San Diego, Calif., Naval base
to Seattle, Washington, Naval Air
Station. He is now in naval fleet
air services and writes "I like it
fine. I am going to take test the
5th of August for third class store
keeper. The weather is cool here
all year round. The people are real
ly nice." Giving instances of love-
ly kindness and hospitality shown
the men in service and of his much
appreciation. Maurice is our dear
boy.

ment over all former methods, ef-
fecting immediate results. It will
not only hold the rupture perfect-
ly but increase the circulation,
strengthens the weakened parts,
thereby closing the opening in ten
days on the average case, regard-
less of heavy lifting, straining or
any position the body may assume
no matter the size or location. A
nationally known scientific method.
No under straps or cumbersome
arrangements and absolutely no
medicines or medical treatments.
