The kingdom of God Is with

It Is the close observation of
little things which Is the secret
of success in business, in art.
In science, and in every pur

Be what you are. This is the

Adversity is the diamond dust
Heaven polished its jewels with.

its leaders and those of the free
world to act now.
Block every move that is
made to enlist one more person
under atheism. Withdraw all
relations and isolate them to the
last man. Let them fester and
erode in their own corruption.
Expose and deport every known
member within our bounds.
Stop themll or they stop our
outward recognition of God! and
make no mistake about it--thf h
their Goal! We have given them
everything in an effort to help
them morally, spiritually,
physically, industrially and fi
nancially.
With all that is known about
communism and their dedicated
purpose, God does not expect
us to stod by meekly and com
passionately waiting for them to
adhere to the golden rule. If
ever in history Satan was turn
ed loose on the world it Is now,
and through them. Will men of
God come forward and show
their allegiance to Him? It can
be done! Will It be too late?
I wonder!

ITS PEPSI
for those

young!
A
PEPSICOU
Set an extn carton toda/i
minimum for the employment
of children in agriculture during
school hours and applies to chil
dren of migratory workers as
well as to local clilldren. The
only exception Is where a child
is working exclusively for his
parents or guardians on their
farm.
"The uneducated children of
today are the unemployed work
ers of tomorrow," Huettner
said, '‘and children who follow
the crops are usually more
educationally disadvantaged
than boys and girls who do not
work in the fields."
Each year the divisions find
some youngsters who are
working in the fields and have
never attended any school.
Others may have gone to school
but are usually In grades below
normal for their ages.
Huettner said that children
may legally work in agriculture
outside of school hours or on
weekends and holidays, but their
place is in the classrooms when
school Is in session,
‘‘All states also have child-
labor laws," he said, "and most
have school attendance laws. If
the standards differ from the
federal law, the higher stand
ards apply.”
Additional information and
literature on how the Fair
Labor Standards Act applies
to children working in agricul
