The Shimizu tunnel, in Japan, now unfex construction^ will short en the time between Tokio and the nor^hweet by three arid one-half hours.-* ^ • 1 * f Chevrolet Expects Better Sales DETROIT, Mich., Dec. 15.— Pointed indications of a resump tion of buying interest throughout the nation are manifest here now in hundreds of reports on file at the home office of the Chevrolet Motor Company revealing that the reception accorded the new 1931 Chevrolet Six during the early days of -the national showing had only one parallel in the history of the company. To meet the needs of dealers, the manufacturing organization consisting of twenty domestic | plants is working on a tentative production schedule for the month of November of more than 60,000 cars. Despite the fact that this is a high goal for the month, the output of cars has already fallen considerably behind orders already booked, the sales division reported. Telegrams from dealers and field officials in all parts of the country, offering an excellent cross-section of the public atti tude, reveal that despite general business conditions unusual buy ing enthusiasm is being displayed. Particular interest is centering on the new sport models in the line, as well as the new commercial cars which are constantly accounting for a larger proportion of each year’s output. The price reductions, coupled with the increased size and im provements, attracted to dealer showrooms crowds estimated as second only to the attendance dur ing the early showing of the new six at the time of the change-over from the four-cylinder car in 1928. Many points reported a greater number of appraisals than in any previous year, and when the tabu lation of orders now being made is completed, the mark for the first fifteen days is expected to com pare favorably with any similar period during a normal year. A particularly significant feature of the 'reports reaching H. J. Klingler, vice-president and gener al sales^ manager, reveal that, pub lic interest shown in the new car is not confined to any one section, but seems general across the coun try. Not only in the larger centers but in the smaller communities, dealer showrooms were crowded for several days, and marked buying enthusiasm displayed. A dealer in a small Kansas town reported that, because of the large number of rural visitors, a count of attendance at his showrooms the first day exceeded the popula tion of/ the town. Great Falls, Mont., dealers, :■ despite fourteen inches of snow, reported attend ance for the first week equal to that of a year ago. The Harrisburg zone, comprising several counties in the Keystone state, reported 100,000 showroom visitors. The city of pievelafid re ported 59,000 visitors, and San An tonio, 20,000. Buffalo reported a larger crowd than last year, and Chicago wired that appraisals ex ceeded last year’s figures. The reception the new car re ceived throughout the country lent substance to the statements of Chevrolet officials that business conditions during the year were due primarily to a “buyers’ strike,” and that an upward trend is im minent. To lend impetus to this move, Chevrolet advanced by sev en weeks the date for the an nouncement of new models, and | thus., insured extraordinary activ ity -during two normally dull months for the thousands of peo ple directly dependent upon the company for a livelihood. The Knoxville Journal says: “Talking about th'& return of prosperity, advocating “Buy Now” campaigns and advising what oth ers should do to restore the nor mal flow of business, are not harm ful gestures, but they are not near ly so effective as actually doing* something. Chevrolet Motor Company, one of the General Motors units, is per forming, not merely talking. White others are talking about better business, Chevrolet :’s going after it. ! The tenor of all the addresses at the Knoxville division confer ence of Chevrolet dealers yesterday was that of confidence and ag gressiveness. It is to be expected that other automobile manufac turers will have to go after busi ness in the same vray if they keep up with Chevrolet. Instead of reducing their forces of salesmen, Chevrolet is employ ing more ,salesrtfBt$* „ Instead of' waiting for business to come-back X ^When I was a child, if I did not feel well, or if I had a cold, V my mother gave me Black- Draught,” says Mrs. Orpha Hill, of Wofford, Ky. "When I was married, it became a fami- ly medicine in my own home, as it was in my mother’s. "I take it for headache and m especially for constipation. When I get bilious, my skin ▼ gets yellow and I have a very ▼ bad taste in my mouth, and a ▼ drowsy feeling all during the X day. My eyes bum and I get ng My eyes bum and 1 dizzy, or my head is ‘swim Jif ming.’ When I take Black er Draught, it seems to drive the impurities out of my system and I feel fine. I am seldom - without this reliable remedy.” f THEDFORD’S For Constipation, Indigestion Bilioutnost WOMEN who are run-down, nervous,! or suffer every month, should take] CARDUI. Used for over 50 years. to them, Chevrolet dealers are go ing out after it. And, best of all G. M. A. C., the powerful financing institution allied with General Motors, is manifesting a most lib eral attitude toward new motor sales of Chevrolets. G. M. A. C. believes in . the American people and consequently is willing to fin ance their purchases of Chevrolet cars on terms that can be met without difficulty. Knoxville, as the headquarters for a large division served by Chevrolet Motor Company and G. M. A. C., is exceptionally fortunate in having these institutions as virtually local enterprises. All sales of Chevrolet automobiles.. for a large area are cleared through’the Knoxville office and the . financing of all installment purchases in this territory handled by G. M. A. C,. also are cleared through the Knoxville office of that Institu tion. It may be forecast that there will be an enormous volume of sales of Chevrolet automobiles this year, because the selling organiza tion of that company is not look ing back ward upon the wreckage of a depression, but is looking for ward across the inviting field of new business that awaits harvest ing by those who go after it.” Concrete evidence of improve ment in the automobile industry was disclosed here today with the announcement that production of the Chevrolet Motor Company in November set a new high record for the month. Unit output in November was 47,- 257 passenger and commercial cars compared with 46,125 in the same month last year, which was the ’best previous November. The De cember schedule is set for 60,000 oars. The November car shortage has resulted in the December schedule being set at about 20,000 cars bigher than any previous December jx the company’s history, accord ing to W. S. Knudsen, president and general manager. The com- oany’s twenty domestic production plants now have 28,500 men at work to meet the insistent clamor of dealers for cars following the highly successful ir) reduction of the new 1931 line on November 15, Mr. Knudsen stated. Future plans call for a gradual further monthly step-up until the Sprang demand sees, the manufac turing plants operating at capacity, Mr/Knudsen explained. Chevrolet is one of the few volume manufacturers to achieve a very satisfactory record during he past twelve months. That the company was enabled to do this is interpreted here as a distinctly favorable omen for all industry. The motor car industry is the larg est user of many basic commodi ties, and unusual activity on the part of the Chevrolet Motor Com pany, which builds approximately one-fifth of all cars produced, means a decided stimulus to many lines of trade.

Sunday School ’ Lesson ’ <Bv REV. P. R. FITZWATER. D. D.. Mem ber of Faculty. Moody Bible Institute of Chicafto.) ((c). 1930, Western Newspaper Union.) Lesson for December 21 TIMOTHY: THE INFLUENCE OF HOME TRAINING LESSON TEXT—Acts 10:1-3; Philip- pians 2:19-22; II Timothy 1:1-6; 3: 14-16. GOLDEN TEXT—And that from a chi Id thou hast known the holy scrip tures, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus. INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOP IC—Living for Christ in Our Homes. YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOP IC—Religious Training in the Home. I. Timothy’s Parentage (Acts 16:1). His father was a Greek and his mother a believing Jewess. On his mother’s side, at least, he had a godly ancestry. Frequently the influence of the mother makes the son. A pious mother and a pious grandmother were back of Timothy. How thankful to God ought those to be who have been blessed with a godly ancestry. Chris tian heredity and training are vital elements which go to make up Chris tian life. II. Timothy’s Training (I Tim. 1:5; II Tim. 3:14,15). .His wise and faithful mother and grandmother carefully nurtured him in God’s Word. He knew the Scrip tures from childhood through their training. The faith which came to him through his grandmother and mother did not come through the laws of heredity, hut through carefuL train ing and teaching. Three factors were Involved In his training: 1. Godly ancestors. Those who have been blessed with godly ancestors should thank God for them. Those who are to he the parents of the com ing generation should see to it that their children are not handicapped by a wrong life and wrong teaching 2. A Christian home. The young of the human race must remain for the longest period under the Influence of their parents. Unending existence and exalted destiny demand long and care ful training. The goodness and wis dom of God are vitally reflected in . this provision for Jiumanity. 3. A diligent study of the Holy Scriptures. Timothy not only was taught the Scriptures from childhood, hut was commanded diligently to study them (ch. 2:15). No home train Ing or hereditary influence can possi bly take the place of personal study of the Bible. III. Timothy’# Call (Acts 10:2,3). While on his second missionary journey in company with Silas. Paul found Timothy at Lystra near Derbe. Perhaps he had been converted on Paul’s first missionary journey, but hearing a favorable report of him by the brethren, Paul circumcised him so as not to offend the Jews, because his father was a Greek. This was in harmony with the decision of the Jerusalem council. It was a case where conciliation was possible with out compromise of truth. From this time to the end of Paul’s life, Timothy was his devoted companion. IV. Timothy’s Character. 1. Of a retiring disposition (II Tim. 1 :C). He had received a gift from God at the hands of the apostle hut it needed to he stirred up; that is fanned into a flame. Such a tempera ment would mature in touch with a great personality like Paul. Each Christian has a gift from God’s hand. It is highly important that the God given gift he stirred up. 2. Courageous (II Tim. 2:1-8). Hav ing been stirred up and freed from the spirit of fear, he deliberately Idon tified himself with Paul in ids suffer ings and trials. Courage is greatly needed in doing the Lord’s work. 3. Faithful (Phil. 2:20). Timothy tarrhuJ In the difficult field of Ephesus through many years. He was the only man of the proper fidelity to minister to the Philippinns. The secret of his faithfulness in such a position was his fidelity to God’s word. V. Timothy’s Ministry. 1. As a fellow missionary with Paul (Phil. 2:22). Paul testified that Tim othy. as a son with a father, had ,served with him in the gospel. 2. As pastor of the church at Ephesus (I Tim. 1:3,4). Here Timothy labored for many years, tactfully meeting the difficulties pt that great cburtffi. The secret of his ministry, as that of ail Christian ministers, was that lie had implicit confidence in the Scriptures as God’s Word, and that he diligently studied them so as rightly to divide them in meeting the needs of those to whom he ministered. This is the only way to meet the needs which arise in the difficult field of a pastor. Humility Humility is not only a virtue In It self, but a vessel to contain other vir tues—like embers which .keep the fire alive that is iiidden under It. It emptieth itself by a modest estimation of its own worth, that Christ may fill It.—Thomas Adams. McCormick Holiness Church Schedule McCormick —.
