Watch for them. / America is Safe with “Bull” Durham A gang of Scientists left on a Boat for a year’s cruise to study queer kind of Fish in the South Atlantic Ocean. They should have stayed here in New York and went to see and hear what 1 did the other day, a real Red Bolsheviki meeting. They would have seen queer looking Fish there,Suck ers, Eels, Flounders, Bullheads, and every Guy that got up was a big mouth Bass. They, denounced everything in America, The Weather, The Constitution, White Gloves for Pall Bearers, Mah Jongg, Lower Taxes, Suspenders, Cross Word Puzzles, Shower Baths, League of Nayons and Ice Cream Pies. After looking them all over I found what was the matter with them. There wasnt a one of them knew enough to roll his own. How are you going to improve on a Government if you dont know that much. Every man you see pouring “Bull**Durham into h*^ paper, you can bet he is satisfied with America, because its the old right down to earth Amer icans that do it. P. S. There is going to be another piece in this paper soon. Look for it. HiCO*P#HATS• 111 fifth Avenue, New York City Opening Day’s Canvass Amount To $443. Workers Find Sympathetic Response Everywhere. Clinton opened her heart and purse last Sunday to the campaign for the relief of the Near East sufferers. The preliminary work had been effectively done by Miss Epps and the various workers associated with her, and the final preparations made for the “drive” which was to embrace a can vass of every home in the city. The young people appointed to do the can vassing, entered into their work with enthusiasm and an interest that doubtless will be surpassed in few communities. I The result of Sunday’s amounted to $443. Several commit tees are yet unreported and it is ex pected that the f.hal reports will bring the grand total to a still higher mark. The complete reohlts of the canvass, and other interesting details of the wonderful campaign waged here, will appear in next week’s issue of The Chronicle. t “Wet” Party Forced To Decamp Hastily a - v Laurens, Doc. 13.—A litle whiskey distributing party was abruptly brok en up yesterday afternoon when Sher iff Columbus L. Owens, assisted by other officers, raided the premises around an old sawmill in Dials town ship. Dispensers and would-be buyers alike fled the spot 4 posthaste upon the sudden appearance of the peace officers but not all the canned liquor was carried away. Twenty-seven gal lon sized fruit jars containing home brew were extracted from the saw‘- dust and from other hiding pl&tes after the persons conducting the pre- holiday sale in a quiet nook had de parted, probably carrying with tljem a larger quantity than the quantity seized by the raiders. Buyers of the stuff were seen to throw jars from their cars as they sped from the trading place and there was general confusion precipitated by the announc ed arrival of the prohibition agents. No arrests were made for the reason that everybody about the improvised liquor exchange turned on the gas at the signal that the camp was about to be invaded. It is thodght that the “runners” will have to arrange other headquarters for their woi*k in Lau rens county. SundaySchool * Lesson * (Br RBV. p. B. riTZWATBR, D.D., Da** of tha Evening #choot.

( These wise men who sought Jesus were either Arabian or Persian as trologers. students of the stars. The appearance of an unusual star attract* ed their attention. Perhaps they were acquainted with the famous prophecy of Balaam (Num. 24:17^- Doubtless through the Influence of the Jews who remained In Chaldea, or the direct In fluence of Daniel extending to this time, they had become acquainted with the hope of a Messiah. The light they had was dim, bat they lived up to the best they had. We learn from them: 1. That* AH True Wisdom Leads to the Savior, for He Is the Fullness of Wisdom. 2. That God’s Word Shall Not Ro- turn Unto Him Void (Is£ 55:11). The seed cast upon the Eastern wa ters brought forth fruit after many days. This ought to bring conftdencs to many ministers and Sunday school teachers who have not as yet seen the fruit of their labors. 3. The Grace of God Calls Men From Unexpected Quarters. Some who have the least opportuni ties give the greatest honor to Christ, while other}*, blessed with the richest opportunities, shut Him out. II. Herod Seeking to Kill Jesus (vr. 3-8). The news brought by the wise men struck terror to Herod’s heart. He was not alone in this for all Jerusa lem was troubled with him. A glimpse at the social customs In and about Jerusalem In thuf day will enable ua to understand why this news brought uneasiness to the people. They were living in the greatest luxury. Beautl* ft)] apparel, sumptuous feasts, palatial houses, etc.. led to gross Immorality. We can thus readily see why Herod and ail Jerusalem should be troubled. They did not want a Savior who would save them from their sins; they want ed to continue In them. Herod de manded of the priests and scribes In formation as to where Chnst should he born. They were soon able to tell him. These people bad a technical knowledge Of the Scriptures, but had no heart for the Savior aa set forth therein. Conditions much like these prevail today. This' reception of the Savior shows that perverseness of heart is the cause of so many being In different to Christ, and of their oppo sition to Him when Hit claims are pre sented. It if true today that the lux uries- of wealth, the frivolities of the fashion-lovers, and the gross immorali ties to which these lead, make Jesus Christ unwelcome In many quarters. III. Jesus Found (w. 9-12). The wise men, having obtained the desired information, started immedi ately to And Jesus. As soon as they left the city the star which had guided them from the East appeared again to lead them on—not that It bad disap peared from the sky, but no doubt the city buildings shut out Its light. The stag guided them to the place where Jesus was. When they found Him they worshiped Him. In this they displayed true faith. They did not see any miracle, only a babe, yet they wor shiped Him as king. Blessed are they that have (tot seen and yet have be lieved Cjohn 20:29). Note God’s over ruling providence In all this. Many hundred years tfefore the prophei had said that Christ should come from Bethlehem (Micah.~$:2). God so ordered affairs that* Mary should be brought to that city to give birth to Christ. Let us be assured that nothing can thw art the divine purpose. x God so ordered that these m^n should depart another way. thereby defeating Herod’s wicked purpose. Through theife wise men the Loty] gave gifts Into the hands of Jo seph and Mary before their going to Egypt. Doubtless this served a good ettpg their eapenee* dur ing their stay there. TtuIy all things work together tor good te them that love God (Rom. 8:28). In selecting your Christmas Gifts why not give somethin# serviceable? Nothing can equal Wearing Apparel. You will .
