Economic conditions West, he said, more es pecially the situation in agriculture, were operating powerfully in Mc- Adoo’s favor. Mr. Sparks, 'a trained reporter and a keen student of po litical trends, comments with confi dence on the conclusions he has drawn. “After several trips into practical ly every state during the last year, there is no doubt in my mind,’’ said Mr. Sparks, “that William Gibbs Mc- Adoo, war time director of the rail ways and secretary of the treasury under President Wilson, will receive he nomination" forpcgsident D5fhocrats "next June IMPROVED UNIFORM INTERNATIONAL k.

INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOP IC—From Slave to Prime Minister. YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOP IC—Joseph and the Migration to Egypt oT~The The recent withdrawal of Henry Ford from consideration as a possible presi dential candidate indicates that the automobile king has" already read the McAdoo handwriting on the wall. Several weeks ago Mr. Ford received a severe wallop at the hands of friends of McAdoo in South Dakota. The action of the South Dakota con vention in coming out for McAdoo was the true spirit of the West. The progressive spirit in Ameri can politics was born in the South. The South and the West have the same ideals. McAdoo was born in the South and after a few years in the East migrated West. They have adopted him out there. It has been repeatedly demonstrated that the South and the West can run the coun try when they line up. “Oscar Underwood, Mr. McAdoo’s chief Contender for the Democratic nomination, has not only flirted with the ‘wet’ of the East, but is an avow ed anti-prohibition candidate. No man can be elected president of the United States who sponsors the sale of whiskey. The South and the West will never support any man who is ‘wet.’ “McAdoo is ‘dry’ through and through. Underwood is ‘wet.’ Mc Adoo has practically the entire West solidly back of him and it is certain that he will carry practically every state in the South with the excep tion of Alabama, Underwood’s home state, and probably Florida. “The farmers of the West are dis satisfied. Disaster has overtaken many of them, especially in the wheat country. They charge their miser able condition against the railway rates. McAdoo is strong for a revis ion of freight rates downward. His attitude on labor is well known and he will have the many organizations throughout the country back of him. "Several weeks ago I attended a Democratic dinner in Los Angeles. There were about 500 of the faithful present. The toastmaster accidental ly mentioned the name of McAdoo and there was an explosion. The Califor nians went wild and cheered the name for ten minutes. There were many women present. It was this same crowd of Democrats that elected Mr. Wilson in 1916. Many people out there declared that McAdoo would carry California, the Hon. Hi John son being given consideration at his full strength. “When JHr. Mellon announced his now famous tax reduction plan sev eral weeks ago, McAdoo’s first com ment was that taxes should be re duced and the bonus paid at the same time by the issuance of 50 year bonds. There is every indication that con gress will refuse to pass the bonus. In that event this important issue will go into the presidential election next year and it will be carried there by Mr. McAdoo. The Democratic party has repeatedly declared for tax re duction. In the event that McAdoo carries the fight for the bonus, he Th« seed promised Abraham, through which the world was to be blessed, was fulfilled in the giving of laaac. Of Isaac’s two sons, Jacob, the younger, was chosen. To Jacob was given twelve sons. They became the heads of the Twelve Tribes of IsraeL Joseph, a son of Rachel, Ja cob's beloved wife, was especially loved by his father. Because of the , | partiality shown by Jacob, Joseph’s 2 f.brethren, hated him. ^hia hatred was fanned into flame by his making known to his brethren certain dreams. There fore, when his father sent him to in quire after the welfare of his brethren, they sold him a slave to Midianite merchantmen who In turn sold him to the Egyptlana Under a false charge, made by Potiphar’s wicked wife, he was cast Into prison. Through the interpretation of a dream of one ot Pharaoh’s servants, and later Pharaoh’s dream, Joseph was provi dentially exalted to be Prime Minister of Egypt He put on a great conserva tion scheme, which provided against the bitter famine which came upon all that country. This sojourn In Egypt taught Israel In a new way to trust God, welded them Into a nation, trans formed them from a nomadic to a set tled life, and gave thehi acquaintance with the material advancement of their time. 1. Joseph Presents Hie Father and Five Brethren to Pharaoh (Gen. 47:1-6). L Pharaoh’s Invitation (Gen. 45:- 16-19). Jacob and his sons were in Egypt by Pharaoh’s invitation. Joseph went out to the land of Goshen to meet them. Though now occupying an exalted position. Joseph was not ashamed of his father even though he was a plain country man. 2 Joseph’s Tact (vv. 1, 2; cf. 46:30- 84). (1) In Introducing his father and brethren In a personal way, thus capitalizing his own Influence In favor of bis kin. Paraoh had high regard for Joseph; therefore would do moch for them for Joseph's sake. God does much for us for Jesus’ sake. (2) In having his father and breth ren corns to Goshen (Gen. 45:10). Bine* possession Is “nine points of the taw," they were already In Goshen before asking Pharaoh for permission to occupy it (v. 4K (8) In coaching his brethren (Gen. 46:84). He taught them beforehand what to say, because be knew how 13,076.42 would undoubtedly receive the sup- 100,000.00 port of many service men and worn- 6,518.86 en in all sections of the country.’’ 37.35 i. 7,066.34 .

Our Jdseph, Jesus Christ, teaches us how to pray and what to pray for. < (4) In choosing five, not all (v. 2). In all probability he chose the five who would make the best appearance. He knew the great importance of first Impressions. 8. Their Request to Pharaoh (w. 8, 4). Joseph anticipated Pharaoh’s questions and put the proper words Into their mouths to use In making their desires known to Pharaoh: “Let thy servants dwell in Goshen.’’ 4. Pharaoh’s Response (vv. 5, 6). (1) His gracious offer. They wero to enjoy the best of the land accord- ing to their choice. He dealt with them very liberally. (2) Positions of trust offered to cap able men among them. He knew how capable Joaeph was and surmised that some of hls brethren might be like wise gifted. This gracious offer was because they were related to Joseph. II. Jacob Blessing Pharaoh (vv. MO). Though Pharaoh was the great king and Jacob now a supplicant at hls fest receiving natural blessings, yet moral ly Jacob was above Pharaoh and therefore conferred blessings upon him. This bumble saint of God Is higher In dignity than earth's greatest king. Jacob discloses bis own estimate of the sarthly life of the believer. Ho calls It a pilgrimage of short duration. III. Joseph Nourishes Hls Fathsr and Brethren (w. 11, 12). L He placed them In the best of the lend, according as Pharaoh had commanded (v. 11). 2 He nourished them (v. 12). Sinc« there was no bread in all the land to ho obtained except as dispensed by Joseph, be distributed to them ac cording to their needs. Our Joseph, Jesus Christ, supplies all our needs a& cording to hls riches In glory. 248,507.83 83 TOTAL $833,253.66 State of South Carolina, County of Laurens, ss: L Geo. W.

EDGAR TODD i NIMBLE FINGERS HANDLED MILLIONS OF CALLS The addition of 1700 new telephones to the Bell System in South Carolina has widened the scope of the service t j meet the growing demands of the people of the State. There has been a corresponding increase in the use of the telephone and the value of the service to the public. , — ; — 1 — — It is estimated that the operators handled more than 92,111,100 originating local calls in South Carolina last year and more than 1,617,100 long distance messages. This is an average of more than 278,850 local calls and 4,890 long distance calls every day. To render such a service continuously, day and night, requires 369 highly trained operating room employes. These “weavers of speech” served you efficiently, con tinuously and cheerfully, completing 98 per cent of this enormous volume of traffic promptly and correctly. MORGAN B.
