Were I to tell you that th:s watch was the result of chance what would you say ? "What is more perfect than the uni verse. Absolutely perfect. All the uni verses revolve by the fixed plan of some greater master mind. "The fool hath said unto himself. 'There is no God'." "John says, 'No man hath seen God any time.' Would you know God There is no better established fact of history than that Jesus lived on earth for 33 years. Jesus Christ made God manifest to man. "Real'ze that Christ is with you every clay-even when the world dosen't - see Him. 'You shall find me when you seek Me,' he says. Meet -im through prayer." George Gelk is a Carolina graduate.
