(
Pastor of Trinity Church' Gives an
Instructive Review of The
Events of Today as Porti*ayetl
in the Bible
v
Sumter Herald.
Tho scrips; nf sermons which the
audience at TriniLy church have been
listening t<? for the past three Sunday
evenings on the authenticity of
the scriptures and their place?the
first place among all the literature
now extant?the one living book in
"the world today. Sunday evening
he spoke on "The Master Ship Builder,"
showing how God in His wisdom
'had given plans for the ark, which
had ample accommodations in its
'.- three stories for two of all of toe anw'hn'als,
birds, serpents and the creeps
ing things, and with plenty of -space
i<& store enough food to last them
Jdurmg the time they were be in
this refuge. And more, the best built
J;, ships "of today are patterns of that
< -.iirst ship, and although man has ivied
*tQ improve t>n God's plan of ship
KuiWing, each time he has tried to do
co he has brought upcn himself c!isaster.
.
>v./ uast Sunday evening after reading:
as a scripture lesson the 6th chapter
of Exodus, he based his sermon
dr. the Olh^and 10 Mi verses of the
\
-.first chapter.of EphcSians, and more
.especially the 10th verse. Ke stated
>ihea he was a youn^ man in the
qld brick church that stocd where
Trinity now stands. Bishop Wilson
laid his hands upon his head and ordained
him an elder in the church,
-L
End gave mm suinoniy iu uuuuuu
.the scriptures. The word expound had
lived in his mind throughout the
years he has been preaching, and this
sTos >^at he has ever tried to do.
The ancients divided the circle into
06O degrees, and this^iad bcien
known to them as "tiihe.'' In the
scripture lessoh God had pronounccd
His curse, upon the Children cf Israel
if they forsook Him acd did not keep
His covenant, reiterating the phrase
"seven times," making the figure s^veh
conspicuous. In the ritualistic ser
vices of the Jews at'that time the,
figure seven was ir.-de prominent, in
the instance, among others, riie
sprinkling of the altar and the people
-with the blood of the sacriiice.
. which was to be done reven times. If
" one takes the ancient' idea of "time"
or 360 multiplied by seven, and'the
result will be 2520. The sufferings of
the Jews commenced at the fall of
Jerusalem,* when they were scattered
into every part of the world,- commAn/tar]
aQA rao r<? RilVl
tract this from the 2520, the fall
number of years of^their sufferings
. and we have A. D. 1930, the time of
the Millenium. There are no prophe'
sies in the Bible to transpire after
the year 1931. Christ is coming and
the world shall be redeemed through
Him. lis shall qome and sit upon the
throne of His anefent 'servant, David.
In several place's ih the Scriptures
it speaks of the end of the world. We
will not be destined by fire but will
bccome new earth under the reign of
th Prince of Peace. This should read
f . "the end of the age." The world is
tfound, without end. We have first the
Adaraic age, which extends from the
beginning until Adam and Eve w>ere
driven from the garden. The next
age extends from the time they were
, driven from the * garden iintil the
flood, which is Jtfce age of freedom.
Thp thirr? acrp from the flood Until
\ *"v ""O - the
destruction of Sodom, the age of
government, goj^rnment after the
ideals of man. The next age from the
1 destruction of Sodom until the delivery;
at the Red Sea, was the age of
' the Pilgrims. The fifth age was the
development of Israel and extended
from the delivery atr the Red Sea until
the destruction of Jerusalem.' It
; will be noticed ^ that each of these
ages or aions as it is in the original
language of Greek, ended with some
terrible disaster.

and after the crucifixion of Christ
the Sabbatic age. He called the attention
of his hearers .Jo a sermon
delivered in the old brick church whybi
he was pastor here several years ??o,
in which he predicted the great war
with Germany and said that there
were yet to come a more gigantic
struggle between the kingdoms of the
X earth, which would shake it from cen
ter to circumference.
The scriptures say that the coming
of Christ will be as a thief in the
night, that no man -knows the exact
time, but we have plenty of prophesies
as to the approximate time of His
appearing, which point to the year
1931, when He shall come and sii
upon the throne and shall rule the
world in peace. When the Millenium
".hall hp ushered in. when the curse
of God shall have been fulfilled and
lifted, and when all the peoples oi
the world shall be at peace.
Right now the Jews are gathering!
at Jerusalem and England and Am
erica have given them tne right 01 <
self government# Already the plans I
have been drawn for the rebuilding
of the ancient temple, but this shall
not stand for long, but some of the
most terrible struggles will be cen- tered
about it which, as it is prophesied,
if the days are not shortened
no flesh shall survive.
j There has been no age in the hisI
torv of the world more pregnant with
possibilities than the present one.
There has been no time when man
shall need the church more than at
present. There is no time that shall
try men's souls greater than at the
present time. Let us get ready for j
this time of all times, the ushering
in of the great Millenium. I
The auditorium was crowded to
its capacity and the overflow was
seated in the Sunday school auditorium,
and the great audience listened
j to the words as they fell from the
! lips of the speaker, with intense in-j
] teres!; and their undivided attention.

PAY TEACHERS '?

Oi?Iy Two States Lower Th?.n South !
Carolina
By Hugh W. Roberts
Washington, Jan. 29.?In connec- j
tion with the Smith-Towner educa- [
tional bill, pending before congress,]
statistics are available which dem-j^,
onstrate conclusively that the United;
States pays little attention to the in-!
siruction cf its children. The teach- i
1
ers of the United States arc paid an j
average yearly salary of $563.08.
It is proved by the figures that the
United States from the standpoint <ff j
illiteracy, is cn a standard low^r than i
all the other cilivizea nations of the;
world. While negroes contribute to,
the bad state of affairs in the United |
S+nir?? thfrp! are 1.000.000 morel
white illiterates" than negro illiter- j
atess.
I
In the payment of teachcrs figures, j
on the surface, indicate that the |
South is the most negligent section, j
But. when theNfigures are analyzed,!
the south holds its own with any
other section. California, for instance,
pays its teachers an average
salary of $908. while Mississippi pay?
only $2S3. But the wealth of the av-l
erage California child of school age;
is $14,000. while the average wealth
of the Mississippi child ofk school age
is S2.000.

WAGE LONG WAR ON SAVAGES j
Holland Never Able to Subdue Fierce j
Tribe Living in Rich East Indian !
Archipclago. J
The military fcrees of Holland, i
v;h-ch the news dispatches say are to 1
be reduced nearly one-half, tind eon- (
sic?erable employment in the Esst1
Indian archipelago, nearly all of which j
belongs to the Dutch. It is a con-!
s'rterable territory, covering a distance j
from east 4 to west as great as thatj
from New York to San Francisco.
The wild natjpe tribes are trouble- j
some. But worst of all are the Achee-1
i:ese. who occupy a littlo country at!
the north end of Sumatra. Achepn is !
an absolute monarchy, recognizing: noj
authority or control from the Dutch J
or anybody else. j
One of the longest wars in history,
has been fought by the Dutch against j
the Acheenese. It was started ia 1872, j
and has been going on ever since, with
no present prospect of bringing it to J
ail end.
In former days the Acheenese. who
nre Malays, engaged largely in piracy.
In their swift sailing proas they!
scoured the seas, c'injuring every iin-j
vessel they came across. and
customarily butchering everybody on
hoard, ry their depredations they almost
destroyed trade through thy
straits < i' Malacca. /
The Dutch did away vdth this mischief
by running down The pirate
eraf: with small steam vessels and
destroying them. But the A'.heenese
are still independent and deliant on
land. When the Dutch avenge an outrage
by burning their village-; and rice
pl;iiitr;fiocs, they retire to inacccss:bie
Tartnesses of tin* mountains. The nest
the Dutch can do is to hold the extreme
northern tip of Sumatra. where
they have planted a fortified town
called Kota Iiadja. Usually ?bont
eight thousand troops are kept there
in garrison.
Across the base of the tip a string
of fourteen Ilttfe forts extend con-N
nected with the town by railroad' and
telegraph. Each is defended by elaborate
barbed-wire entanglements and
by a hedge of the spiky plants called
Spanish bayonets, thirty feet wide,
tvhich is even more effective. If a
fort is attacked re-enforcements from
Kota Radja are summoned by wire.
Not far from the town is Gold
mountain, which i$ said to be full of
the yellow metal; but it is outside the
line of forts and so the gold remains
undue:. For the Acheenese are just
about -the most ferocious savages in
the world, a little fad of theirs being
mutilation of their enemies, wnose
less, arms and ears they cut off.
'Their country is a primeval forest
peopled by orang-outangs and full of
a' deadly malaria.
Severs Spanish "Blue Law."
Kissing* one's wife in public is ?
rime, ac rdlng to the laws of Ma>
drid, Spain. therefore a severe
reprimand and a warning not to lei
the misdemeanor occur again has just
N ? ' ? a. ^ -\ r*
been administered 10 a visitor u> jw
drid who, when he assisted his wife
into a Cf-'o at the door of his liotei
t>n the Puerta del Sol, kissed her goodby.
A policeman on duty close by witnessed
the offense and remonstrated
threatening to take the man to the
police s-tation, whereupon the visitor
a traveler in many lands, smiled ami
said: "Do your worst. Take me tc
the station house and we'll see what
thtf punishment is for kissing one's
tT*ir/a" Thn r.r.l!rf>mnn lpfl him off t<;
face his captain, who, on hearing tin
nature of the charge was even more
severe than the ordinary policeman.
He informed the offender that ignorance
of the law was no excuse, hut
that he had committed a serious4of
fense against the laws' of Madrid,
winch forbids ii man to kiss any woman
while in the streets of the city
with or without her consent. He, however,
let him off with a caution. v

| RUE Hill THRILLS'
New Zealander Probably Broke |
Many Speed Records.
I Fortunate to Live to Write of Mad i
Journey Across Precipice, and a j
I ~
i Night of Terror.
j A thrilling adventure in the timberlands
of New Zealand is related by
! Mr. David Blake, who met with it as a
! result of a quarrel with a man named
| Smerrz. Do you know the great divide
j on Mount Siberia? asks Mr. Blake in
the Wide World Magazine. I had the
'contract for cutting out and sending
down the timber from tiie upper
i slopes. Across the gulch, taut as a
j bow-string, a steel cable stretched for
j eight hundred feet. The kauri logs,
j slung to an underhung trolley running
I on huge sheaves, were sent over the
j wire to thelother side. A guide rope,
j hooked to tlie trolley, served to check
j the run and ease the timber to the
j landing stage below.
Rod McKenzie, Duncan and Smertz
worked in my gang. It was the end of j
the day in late autumn. The last log
?a monster twenty feet long by thirty
in girth?hung ready for launching. -I
was on the point of giving the signal,
when, fancying I noticed a slackness
in one of the slings, I mounted thelog.
This was Sinertz's moment for de- j
ferivd vengeance. As quick as light- j
j ning he swung his ax ;;iul sprang the
j hook of the guide rope from the sockj
ei. On the instant the huge log gathered
headway down the taut wire.
Some one screamed, "Jump. Dave,
jump !" But there was no time.
All this happened in a flash. I threw
myself face down upon the log and
gripped the sling chains with a grip
of death. Bushes, ground and tree j
stumps flew backward beneath me in J
a mad blur of speed. The racing
sheaves, in their iron block casing,
screamed and shrilled. Fire flashed
. -Pww. v?rr? mn iilon<r the wire.
j Showers of sparks flew out upon the
i wind.
Suddenly there was a jar, the grind
and shriek of metal on metal. I
screamed and closed my eyes. There
was a jerk that wrenched my arms
i in their sockets, and the mad rush
i stopped. The strained wire above
sprang, bent again and hummed like
a . twanged bowstring. The log. hanging
beneath, leaped up and down, up
and down. I was jolted from my hold
and, for a horrible minute, with one
j hand clutched in the chains, hung over
j the abyss. Slowly, painfully, I dragged j
j myself up again. My nerves were in 1
! inv limbs shook, and my teeth i
****> -- -- - - j
chattered. I took off my belt and,
reeving it through a chain link, shifted
position; then I rebuckled the
I strong leather round my waist.
This is what had happened. The pin
in the lower block had worked loose.
! The wire had jumped the groove in
the sheave wheel, becoming jammed
between it and- the iron casing, and
the log had braked itself by its own
weight.
A stiff wind had blown during the
afternoon, and with night it hardened
into a gale from the stmtheast. It
roared, swooping through the defile,
i "Poin ??nrT wind-driven hail hissed
across the darkness in fierce gusts.
Flannel shirt and trousers, which represented
all my ciothin?, were little
protection against tho fierce cold. I
could not move to ease my position.
Ice formed on the chains and on the
wood ; inv oFothing froze hard and stiff.
The night was as dark as (lie mouth
of a pit. A single hi? star broke at
intervals through the wrack of flying,
scud. I watched It idly as I lay in a
sort of trance.
I awoke in a warm bed. It was
Dick, my close companion, that had
1 Xl- - ?"i'm TV?AI?n_
j come OUT along UJC wire jii uu; liivnr
) ing after ithe storm. He had brought
with him a sort of chair of ><rong
rope running on a pulley; but how he
had managed on that swaying, clipper?
log to get me, helpless and unconscious,
info the chair I do n?>t know.
Smertz? The boss got htm away
from the boys, locked J;im inside hfs
office and stood guard over him until
j the police came. Otherwise they
j would have killed him.

Mr. Harding must return nearly one-.
fourth of this in income tax. i ]
President Wilson was exempted j
from the income tax under a supreme j ]
court rule because he came into of- j
fice before the enactment of the 19IS j
revenue laws, under which taxes were! j
sought to be imposed on the salaries I
of the president and of federal judg- j x
es. The supreme court held that the'
tax could not be collected in the cane 1i
of incumbents because of the consti- j ,
tution inhibition against the reduc-ji
tion of the salaries of the executive j
and federal judges during their terms j
of office. ! j
The solicitor general has ruled that!
the tax could be collected from ofii-!,
cials taking office after the law be-}
came effective, because that would j
not bring about any reduction in sal- j
ary during the term of oflice.
Kevenue bureau officials say that i
Mr. Harding, of course will be allow?d
the usual exemption of $2,000 aj
year for a married man and may!
claim certain business exemptions:
Placing his exemptions at $2,000
yearly, however,- they figure his normal
income tax at $5,480. and his}'
surtax at $12,940, a total of $18,420. i'
President Wilson is understood to ['
have paid some taxes under the 1918
law before the supreme court ruled j
on the section, which a federal judge |
attacked, but revenue bureau omciais!
will not say how much nor whether
