BANK VAULTS INTACT AFTER CHICAGO FIRE intense Heat Would Allow No Examination For Six Days On May 19 of this year' Chicago and the country was startled by newspaper headlines and radio re ports of an immense fire that was threatening all the stockyard sec tion of Chicago. That fire, as the world subsequently learned, burned . out acre after acre of the stock yards in the world's greatest stock yard center. At 4201 South Hals ted Street in Chicago there stood the Drovers Banks?the Drovery Nation al and the Drovers Trtisf and Sav ings?both imder the same roof and management. I m m e dla tely across the street from .this bank the conflagration was the hottest. .,^e sult-?-the quarters of the bank yere burned out completely and entire ly. Nothing was left but the shell of the building and the vaults, five of them which contained all the records of the bank, deposits of customers, and the safe deposit boxes. For six days after the holo caut the heat would not allow anyone to get near enough to the vaults for an examination of their contents. When the vaults were finally opened not a piece of scorch ed paper could be found. Every thing was just as intact as it was when the bank officials had closed the day's business on the day before the fire. The only evidence inside the'.vaults that there had been a vaults that was found to have been caused, not by a fire hose, but gen erated by the intense heat within. With deposits and paper worth mil lions the officials were uneasy, and who wouldn't have been with de positors .frantic to know what had become of their savings trusted to the care of the bank, calling them up every hour? But the vaults were intact and nothing Tn them was damaged in the slightest way. DAINTY SOUTH AMERICAN MISS THRILLS CROWDS Mill.

Dnnn FELLOWSHIP WITH CHRIST Lesson for October 7th?John 15 Golden Text: John 16:4 This is the first of a series of stu dies in the Christian life. The chap ter chosen for the lesson, John 15. belongs to that sublime section of the gospel devoted to the discourses of the Master at the Last Supper. It begins with the wonderfu alle gory of the vine and the branches. Here we have a clear picture of the roots and fruits of the Christian vocation. Orm of the k'#y phrases In this ylfiquent passage iy "Abide in me." (v\. 4). Do we abld/ in Christ? Is He our living room? Prof., J,uccock, of Yale, reminds us of the parlor of a typical old-time New England dwelling, with its shut windows, drawn shades, and horsehair furni ture covered with crdcheted dollies. The wall (taper and carpet were In hideous taste, and the gold clock was utterly unable to keep time.- This stuffy room was reserved for pain ful occasions such as a funeral or a minister's call. No one actually lived there. Now It is the business of* religion to take us out of such a stifling par lor into the living room where Christ dwells. And what a spa cious. attractive chamber it is, large and hospitable enuogh to harbor every person of generous impulses and spiritually-minded aspiration! ( There is nothing narrow or confin ing about fellowship with the Master. But how shall we enter this ap pealing room? Well, like all com partments, It has a door. The door stands between Christ and the hu 1 man soul. Open it, enter in, and the Saviour and your own heart will abide together in the gracious abode of God's truth and love. And from this comradeship there will blossom rich fruit. "He that abldeth in me, and T in him, t he same beareth much fruit." This is the explanation of the magnificent success of Sir Wilfred Grenfell in Labrador, of Albert Schweitaer in equatorial Africa, of Toyohiko Kag awa in the slums of Kobe, and of "Frank N. Q. Bucham, the founder of the* Oxford Group Movement, in reclaiming the loet. We can share in their reward. Short Sens By J. B. Currin lUUD * AI/UAU nmuwv/iu i . I * I desire to suggest that you draw .an. imaginary circle; about yourself small enough to include no one I but you. This circle is your in ! dividual kingdom: no one else can rule it. Roosevelt may govern Am : erica, and Hitler may rule Germany but no human being except you can rule in your kingdom. ? This is an inner or spiritual kingdom the throne of which no man can ascend regardless of his determination or your desire. On that throne of the kingdom of your life sits your own ?will. Others may force your outer actions but they can not force your will. They can not force love, hate, trust and other things of the inner life. If there be love in that life for men or for God it is your love not that of another. If there be envy ; and malioe-ln that heart it is your envy and malice. If there be disregard for the will of God it is your disregard. If there be repen tance, faith, and obedience they are ; yours. Everything in that heart and life are yours. Now recall that at one time Texas was not a part of the American Republic. It was an independent republic of which Sam Houston was president. But the people of Texas told our government that they did not desire to be independ ent but wanted to become a part of the United- States. And may I" now ask that you con-1 sider what you have said, or will State's Beauty Parlors Get $1,034,000 In Year federal Census Report Shows Tu Heel Women Pay A Lot For Facial Reaplrs North Carolina women and girfe in 1933 paid 11,034,000 to 398 regu larly established beauty shops to: marcels, permanents, linger waves facials and other beauty repairs.
