Preaching from the Gospel of
Johns 9 chapter, Subject: “This j
Man Jesus” on Sunday morning
July 20, our pastor, Rev. Child
ress delivered a masse ge filled
with the spirit and power of God
Almighty. His attentive congre
gation that gathered for his ser
vice was filled the glorious
thoughts endowed with the spirit i
of God that fell from his lips. J
Man must stand up for Jesus al- j
ways and not whether he is prais. i
ed or not. Man must learn to look
up to Jesus always and not when
troubles, trials and tribulations
"beset him. The quality of man’s
life cannot be determined by the
deeds he does, but it is determin
ed by his moral in this world.

Rev, B. Davis an acquaintance
of our minister since boyhood, de
livered the sermon. He spoke to
us from the Acts 11:24-26 verses.
Subject: Church Membership doe
not identify one as a Christain.
One may belong to a church and
not be a Christain. Christian life
mean.} pne whose conduct and
teachings remind us of Jesus. To
have your name on the Church
Roll and Christianity does not
have synonymous meaning. It
isn’t important how long one has
belonged to a church, but it is
important that he proves his
Christianity by the way he lives
his life. Without the love of God
we’re nothing. A Christian is one
who responds tothe invitation of
Christ. To be a Christian,,we must
turn away from sin and love good
A Christian consecrates his
money, himself and talent to God.
We were bblessed with another
inspiring sermon.

REVOLUTIONARY PRINTING
OF PAPERS MAY END PLATES
Development of a revolutionary
newspaper printing method was
announced Tuesday by the Will
iam J. Higgins Company.
The idea is to eliminate the use
of automatic typesetting mach
ines, matrices and stereotype
plates.
Entire pages are printed direct
ly from a single sheet of engrav
ed magnesium which weighs less
than a pound. This compares to
46 pounds for a conventional ster.
otype plate.
Composition of body type is
done proportional-spacing type
writers. John and Farwell Peery
| of tjhe company said machines
have been developed to permit
head-setting by the same method.
“The'process completely changes
the composing room as it exists
today,”
their announcement said.
“The copy goes directly from
the typewriters to the make-up
boards and from there into
proof-reading. Composition errors
are, bythe photographic nature
of the process, completely elimi
nated.”
Reach, was conducted in the
company’s Ocala (Fla.) plant.
The process has been used for
several months in publication of
the Leesburg (Fla.) Commerical
Ledger, 12-page weekly paper.
The Perrys .executive officers of
the Western Newspaper Union,
said installations of the pocess
would be undertaken by the Hig
gins Company “as soon as pro
duction is completed on necessary
composition and engraving
machinery.”
new process was developed “be
cause of the increasing prohibit
ive mechanical costs in the news
paper production field.”
The magnesium engraving pro
cess, they said, “permits use of
an unlimited number of pictures
at no additional cost. The qquality
of these pictures is the finest ob
tainable because the original en
garving is the printing plates.

20:12-17
MEMORY SELECTION — For thus
said the Lord God, the Holy One oI
Israel; la returning and rest shall ya
be saved; la quietness and In confidence
shall be your strength.—Isaiah 30:15.
Perilous times bad come upon the
southern part of the divided king
dom known as Judah. Thera had
been a period of outward prosperity
under King Uzzlah, but the inward
decay of the people made It an
empty thing.
Judah, like Israel, was on the
downward path which was to lead
to ultimate captivity and judgment
The occasional reign of good king*
seemed to stem the tide a bit; Id
fact the great king of whom we
study today. Hezeklah, gave Judah
a “fresh lease on Life and enabled
her to outlive her sister kingdom by
nearly a century and a half."
Judah experienced a red revival
of faith in God under Hezeklah (II
Kings 18:4-6; II Chron. 80:81). The
temple was cleansed, the priesthood
renewed and reconsecrated, and the
great feast of the Passoverjcept I
once more. This undoubtedly ex« !
plains the new life which earns to
Judah in an hour when the nation
seemed about to disintegrate.
1. The Enemy's Threat (19:5, 6).
For the background here on^
must read the previous chapter.,
Hezeklah, having tried to throw off
the yoke of Assyria, had seen Se*-i
nacherib and his armies sweep oven
the land. Thinking to s?op him and'
to save Jerusalem, he sent a great*
gilt amounting in vaiue to millions
of dollars. The gift was accepted,
and then Sennacherib treacherously
seiged Jerusalem
Rabshakeh. Sennacherib’s mes-(
senger to Hezekiah. not only threat-!
ened the nation, but blasphemously,
denied the power of God. Such was)
the awful situation Hezeklah faced
as he went to the temple, and sent
trusted servants to inquire of Isaiah
what he ought to do.
The response was prompt andj
definite. We may learn from this In
cident that in an hour of confusion!
and danger it is well to take time to) i
^.nd out what the Lord has to sa.vl
about things. He knows what to do!
IL The Lord’s Answer (19:7, 32
37).
God has only to blow on th«
mighty, blustering moriarchs of this
iworld and they come to their end,
f definitely and conclusively. The 1
"blast” of the Lord (v. 7) is enough
to care for thatl And remember, he
Is still ready to act on behalf of his
I people I
On the plains of Philistia the
mighty -host of Assyria met the1
angel of the Lord, and they never]
awoke from their sleep. The loss of
185,000 men sent Sennacherib home
to Nineveh broken and fearful, and
there he met his own violent death.
*How much we peed the encour
agement of such ah event as this in
our own day when the mighty of
this earth seem to speak so boldly
and confidently against the name of
the Lord. His children must often
(hear the blasphemous threats of un
believer^ and bear the burden of
their scorn. -
Let us remember that we do
s'erve a God who can with a glance
of his eyes throw into confusion all
the enemies of his mighty name.
Let us be strong to fight the victori
ous battle in his name!
Hezekiah knew the sweetness of
victory as he trusted in the Lord. If*
we could only rest the matter there.
But the weakness of the flesh comes
to the fore as we seet^
ID. The King's Folly (201:12-17).
Babylon, one of the great Gentile
enemies ot Assyria, wanted to cul
tivate the friendship of Hezekiah, so
an embassy was sent to express joy
at his recovery from a serious ill
ness.
It was the Lord who had. healed
him (see 20:1-11) in' a tftiracukras
way, but now Hezeklahdid the fool
ish thing of trying to cultivate the
help of men.
To impress these possible allies
from Babylon, he showed them all
his wealth. He evidently wanted
them to return to their ruler with a
story of the might' and glory of
Judah. t
Poor Hezefciah! He only made a
fool of himself.- prepared the way
for the ultimate taking of his pos
sessions and his people by the Baby
lonians. (

ECONOMIC
HIGHLIGHTS
“A four-year or five-vear plan
of U. S. aid to Europe, to cost
about $25,000,000,000 is in trouble
before it starts,” says the United
States News. ‘'President Truman’s
Cabinet is sharply divided on the
plan. Congress is inclined to be
cool toward it, Europe wants and
badly needs the dollars, but may
not like the conditions to be at
tached to any new dollar grants.”
The economics of th' problem
are bleak to an extreme. This
country is the only important pro
ducer of the goods Europe must
have for economic rehabilitation,
no less than for immediate susten
ance. Those goods must be paid
for with dollars. However, foreign
countries are earning only 38 per.
cent of the dollars they are spend
ing. The loans we have already [
made are running out at an
alarming rate, and will be ex
hausted, in most cases, in less
than a year.
The export-import situation
tells the story in another way.
Our exports abroad amount to
around $20, 000 ,000 ,000 a year.
Our imports from abroad, on the
other hand, arel less than $8,000,
000,000 a year. That means, from
the foreign point of view, an an
nual deficit of nearly $12,000, 000,
000 a year. A number of countries
notably Britain, are attempting
to step up their export product
ion in order to make their balance
of trade less unfavorable, and to
maintain their dollar credits as
long as possible. But these effects
have not borne much fruit, and no
great improvement can logically
be expected in the near future.
Foreign countries have invest,
ments in this country, in secur
ities, industrial properties, etc.
However, according to the U. S.
News, if all long-term :..eign in
vestments of this nature were liq
uidated, Europe'-, pocketbook
would be fattened by only $8,COO,
000,000 enough lo calance the m.
port-export scale for a mere eight
months. Furthermore, these assets
are unevenly distributed. The
great bulk of them belong to Eng"
land, and some of the neediest
countries have little or nothing.
It will be a long time before
anyone knows just how far the
United States will go in under
writing European recovery. But it
does seem certain that the policy
will not be of ai blank-check
character and that firm strings
will be attached to future loans
and gifts and money so far ad
vanced and in some cases, have
been more interested in building
political organizations than in
trying to put their countries on
their economic feet. Public seems
Public opinion' seems all in favor
of stopping that.
The Marshall Plan obviously is
based in part on such considerat
ions. It says, in effect, that Eur
opean rehabilitation is the duty
of Europe, and that aid from us
can be given only if all the coun
tries involved cooperate to the
limit. It thus marks an effort to
break down geographical, political
and ethnological barriers to the
recovery of the continent.
It is possible to draw parallels
between the present and the per
iod following World'War 1, when
we made large loans to Europe
which were repaid only in part.
But there is this enormous differ
ence—the sums involved then
were much smaller, and the
United States had a relatively in
significant tax and national debt
problem at home. On top of that,
there was no struggle for power
such as that which is being car
ried on between the United States
and the Soviet Union today. The
present European problem is com.
plicated byy the most important
military anddiplomatic considerta
!ons. Whilewe are Helping the
rest of the world, self-preservat
ion demands that we prepare for
any conceivable future contin
gency—including that of war.
Is American industry rolling in
money? On the basis of the bare
statistics a “yes” answer to that
would seem justified. Howevre,
as a Newsweek survey recently
pointed out, there is another side
to the picture. The magazine said:
"The hard-to-believ fact was that
business, despite record profits,
hard pressed for functa.”
The reason for that is the enor
mous sums industry has been
