Thursday, November 30, 1961 THE CLINTON CHRONICLE » Fire Destroys House Sunday Fire destroyed this four room house located on the Laurens Highway near Lake Thomas around -1:00 a. m. Sunday. The house was occupied by Mrs. I/ois Whaley and her three children. It was owned by A. L. Neighbors of Rt. 2, Laurens. A neighbor, who aided Mrs. Whaley in saving a few articles of furniture, said that the fire started in the attic, apparently from defective wiring.

EVERYDAY COUNSELOR By Bishop Herbert Spaagh A CALL TO PRAYER "Never since the time of Christ has the world faced dangers so great as now.” So the members of (he 87th Congress were told by the late Speaker Sam Rayburn as they were sworn into office. Peo pie throughout our country are being awakened to this danger and are daily becoming more apprehensive as to the future of America. "This is not a suggestion that war will come, for the United States is already at war—and with a foe whose primary aim is the destruction of America. Until recently the people of this coun try have not attached proper significance to what is called ‘The Cold War.’ But the fact that this new type of warfare has en circled country after country is beginning to dawn upon the citi zens of the United States It is a subtle warfare to gain control of men’s minds and thus control the country’s government. “We are encountering a second danger. Age-old sin has been creeping deeper into our lives, un heralded and without alarm to many. It has caused a growing laxness and carelessness in the lives of our people, and is evi denced by the lack of concern over crime; by the way in which standards have been lowered, and practices once scorned have been accepted; by the numbers I who have their names on church rolls but who are wanting in faith and work; by the emphasis plac ed upon material things rather than upon the higher and more noble things of life. “A group of citizens searching for a defense against these dan. gers has claimed God’s promise as is found in II Chronicles 7:14, If people, which are called b\ My name, shall humble them- -i! es, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from Hea ven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land ’ “This is a promise of God, and knowing that not one of His promises has ever failed, this group has initiated a movement through which our people are be ing asked to unite in prayer at the noon hour each day, wherever they are, giving thanks to God for His mercies, confessing their sins, asking His forgiveness and praying that He will heal our land. If these prayers are sincere we will surely be seeking His face and under His influence there is bound to be a turning from our wicked ways. "As people become more aware of the crisis an increasing num ber are asking this question, ‘What can 1 do?’ Groups sponsor ing the ‘Cali to Prayer’ are being organized in their communities and it is our prayer that this m o ve m e n t will continue to spread across our land. You can have an important part in this movement by: (1) Uniting with us in prayer each day at noon. (2) Widening the circle of prayer by furthering the cause in your community.” JOIN IN THE WPPC SILVER DOLLAR SWEEPSTAKES 2.1 SILVER DOLLARS GIVEN AWAY EACH THURSDAY AT 1:15 Through December 21 DILLARD BOLAND — JEWELER — 103 EAST PITTS ST.
