Devotional Thoughts ^‘Praying always with all pray er and supplication in the Spirit and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all Saints.”—Ephesians 6. When we stop to weigh the meaning of these words, the in telligent child of God will say: I must pray, pray, pray, for prayer is the means for our thinking pure thought, a lamp unto our path way in a troubled world, a con necting link between heaven and earth. Prayer is the means that God has appointed for his chil dren receiving mercy and Grace to help in time of need. Sometimes Christians ask the question, “Why am I making so little progress?” So I answer, “Neglect of prayer.” You have not because you ask not.” A minister would ask why do I see so little fruit from my labor. Again I answer, “neglect of prayer.” The Sunday School teacher would ask, “Why do I see so few saved from my Sunday School class?” Still God answers “Neglect of prayer.” In Mark 1:35 we read. “And in the morning rising up a great while before day. He went out and departed into a solitary place and there prayed.” If the Master found it necessary to pray, surely we as weary travelers need to pray the more. We need to pray for strength for: Prayer promotes our spiritual growth. Prayer brings power into our work. Prayer life is a spiritual fruitful life. Rev. E. C. Sexton, Pastor Johnson Tabernacle Bap tist Church, Rocky Mount, N. C. Dispatch Highlights Things are showing signs of picking up; and we are all pleased with the opening of the Wilson Plant again.

Manager At IISCC Meet (Continued from Page One) military power that would have to be defeated before any nation could dominate the world. Our forces in Europe today are small, amounting to only ten di visions. In this country we have two and one-third divisions. We cannot man 4,000 aircraft today. Against this, Russia is capable of putting 200 divisions in the field and can man 10,000 air craft. We need a peace time army of 1,750,000 men of which the National Guard will be asked to furnish 550,000 which is the equivalent of 27 divisions. Every one is urged to assist in building up the National Guard, partic ularly ex-servdce men.

Guy Moore, Textile Production Low (Continued from Page One) The slump came suddenly and without warning. The cancella tion of orders for our cloth and the sudden decrease in the de mand resulted in large stocks be- ing piled up, for which there was no market, therefore it was neces sary to discontinue making this cloth until such time when there was once again a demand. Our New York sales forces are laboring hard to sell our products in new markets and our research laboratories are burning the mid night oil in their efforts to find new processes and develop new products to make and sell. Sev eral new products are in the ex perimental stage at present. These products will be announced when they are ready for market. We are now going into a period in which the sales of our cloth as well as nearly every other pro duct in our country meets with keen competition and the company which makes these products must make every effort to produce a good quality of material at the lowest possible cost. The continued fine workman ship and splendid cooperation of each employee is necessary for our company to make cloth at such low cost and of such good quality that our salesmen can compete with the price and quality of sim ilar cloth from other companies.
