taring firms’ sales and profits tumbled during the summer. The trend toward thrift undoubtedly has contributed to the slump in manufacturing which began early in the summer and is expected to continue fro some months. When consumers sava more, .they spend less. When they ■ buy Jess, stores purchase fewer ■ goods from factories. One of the bank board reports I showed that by Sept. 30 Amerir cans had. accumulated a record ' $306,954,000,000 in major forms of ' savings: 'thrift deposits, life insurs amce, Treaisury savings bonds. In addition, millions of families ' have built up investments in their ’ own homes worth billions of dol- ‘ I lairs. Many families consider ‘monthly mortgage and life insuri a.nee payments their only form of ’ i regular savings. j The report showed that in July, j August and September the savings total rose by $4.3 billion'—an uniusually large increase for summer months when people usually are j spending heavily on vacations. Cantata Sunday At • First Baptist Church j The Music of Christmas,” a . cantata arranged by Ira Wilson. . will be presented by the choir of I the First Baptist church Sunday, I at 7:30 p m. in the church sanctuary.

Allen Lehman, the choir will sing such Christmas favorites as “The Magi,” “He Shall Feed His Flock,” and “The Hallelujah Chorus.” Featured soloists for the evening i Will be Mrs. Edward Lobsiger, ' soprano; Miss Kathleen Call, alto; j Warren Lehman, tenor; George ■ Myers, bass, and Allen Lehman, j baritone. Mrs. Eugene Lehman accompany the choir at the Torgan. The Rev. Robert McQuaid. 1 pastor, has extended an invitation to the public to attend this religious introduction to the Christmas season. I Billy Graham Film At Monroe Sunday Evangelist Billy Graham’s latest motion picture, “The Heart Is A Rebel” will be a forthcoming significant event in the religious life of the community. The new fea-ture-length color production stars Ethel Walters, Georgia Lee, and John Milford and is scheduled for its local showing at the Monroe Methodist church Sunday at 7:30 p.m. The story is based on a conflict in the life of a modern young couple when the husband, an advertising executive, can’t find a place in his scheme-of-things for his wife’s sudden acceptance of the Christian fßith. In a completely “down-to-earth” setting the situation provides a dimension of reality seldom afforded a religious motion picture. The public is invited.

Assembly Os Churches To Close Today SAN FRANCISCO >UPI) — The growing will of Agnenfoan Protestants .to batter down, the denomlnatkrnai walls which divide them was strongly exprtesaSkJ in the 1960 general assembly of the National Council of Chore lies. The assembly has been in sesISBBI since last Sunday. The meetling concludes today. - j—it brought together more than 3.000 church leaders from all parts of the nation. They represented 34 major denominations with 40 million members. To a degree that surprised even I the most ardent advocates of Christian unity, the assembly was I dominated by a spirit of impatience with denominational bar- : riens, a feeling that the time bats i come for bold and dramatic action to heal the divisions in the I Christian family. J. Irw'in Miller, newly ejected president of .the National Council, told a news conference that “The most remarkable development at this assembly was the widespread acceptance by .the delegates of the urgent necessity of churches coming together in more than a cooperative sense." Miller said the emphasis on driving forward toward full, organic unity was “unexpected” by council leaders, and/d imply welled up "strongly and ' continuously” from the assembly itself. It was reflected m a 2,300-word “message to the churches" which was adopted unanimously by the assembly Thursday. The message scored the “glacial slowness” with which Christian bodies have been moving toward reunion. Calling on Christians to confess the "sinfulness” of their present disunity, the message wanned that “a divided church cannot proclaim convincingly a gospel of reconciling love.” Rural Churches PLEASANT MILLS BAPTIST A.

Human beings are sometimes surprised when they need not be. The birth of • Jesus was surely no surprise to God, for it was he that planned it. It need not have astonished any one, for it had been promised. The trouble was, nobody had

.looked for just this kind of answer to their long j prayers—long in the sense that for centuries the Jewish people had been praying for a Deliverer 1 (that is what J “Savior” means in the Bible).

Dr. Foreman

, Furthermore, this Deliverer had been promised, for many of the prophets had pointed forward to the coming of One to whom they gave various names—Son of David, God’s Anointed, God’s Servant, , Shepherd, and so on. One of the names was not a name, it simply expressed the great hope in a f word: He that is coming (all one word in Greek or Hebrew). Peace and Justice i The problem at this point may turn the mind to thinking about what Jesus really means to Christians now and eventually to the , world. The problem, to make it ’! short, is this: Why was it that the ’ I Jews, the very people who had cherished the Great Promise, the Hope of "One who is to come," the people in whose sacred books alone this Promise was preserved, the '| people whose prophets had pointed down the future to that great Coming—why was it that these v*ry people of the Promise failed to see the fulfillment of that Promise when it came to pass? One reason was that they expected everything to happen all at once. For example: in Isaiah 9, one of the famous prophecies about the Coming One, any reader can see the hope and expectation of justice, righteousness and peace. The coming Savior will set up a kingdom of peace and of justice. But when Jesus came he was born in a stable because of an injustice on the part of the government; and he died as a criminal, again because of probably the most unjust death sentence in the history of the world. Looking at the world today, peace and justice still seem far off. What has happened to the Great Promise? Short Ponpootive, Leng History Travelers in very dry flat country have noticed that distances are deceptive. You see a watertank or B a tower or a hill apparently a mile or so down the road, but the thing just seems to back away from you, the mile or two may turn into 25 miles before you reach it. What the prophets did not say (and maybe did not see) was the perspective; they had no time table of things to come. So when justice and peace did not descend on the world all at once when Jesus came, many thought lhen, and many nowadays think, that he couldn’t be the One that God intended. The Mighty teif Another reason why people found it hard to see that the Great Promise of a Savior was fulfilled in Jeius of Nazareth, Is the presence in some of the prophecies— Isaiah 9 notable among them—of startling language more than hinting that this Coming One was going to be far more than man, indeed no less than God. The "child," the ‘‘son’’ of Isaiah 9:«is presently named "Mighty God, Everlasting Father." How can this be? And jean we believe such high things of the Carpenter of Nazareth? Yes, we can believe ft, we do believe It. But what the Christian church has come to see (not to understand, it passes human understanding) is something that most people in his life-time did not see: namely, that God does not always make himself known in awesome and terrible ways, but in gentle, yes even humble ways. The wonderful truth which the Christian accepts is that this very Carpenter of ; the occasion of great miracles but every ' day in all the things ho did and said, was God himself upon earth. We believe that Christ was saying the truth when ho said, "Ho who has soon me, has soon the Father.**

IN THE DAYS OF TROUBLE Rev. James R. Meadows The clouds lower over every home. Years go by and we con- . gratulate ourselves that we have been Articular ly favored by the , Lord. Tro home has been strikingly free of those circumstances which bring anxiety, suspense, ' sadness and sorrow. And then the storm breaks. It comes with the suddenness of a thunder-crash out of a blue sky and we find ourselves at last engulfed in the darkness of trouble. What shall we do in the day of trouble? When we were children, mother used to light the lamp when the black clouds had turned day into night. The light within took some of the fear and terror from our childish hearts. If the lamps of our soul are burning and shining brightly we can maintain our serenity and courage in the midst of the most terrific life-storms. The lamp of faith will reveal the face of the confident and fearless Pilot. The: lamp of hope will reveal the blue sky and the calm waters beyond the storm. The lamp of vision will reveal a loving Father keeping SMITH DRUG CO. 149 N. 2nd St. Phone 3-3614 Your Rex all Drug Store Farmers Dairy SET IN STATION R. R.
