HERBERT SPAUGH, D. D.
If you are -a Christian worker,
Sunday school teacher, church work
er, y<$u will be interested in this;
Other^ will pass it^up
A veteran missionary was recent- 1
ly interviewed aft- 1
er 43 years of serv
ice. He says that
all Christian work
ers must be willing
to face changing
conditions and be
willing to provide
and devise meth
ods to meet them.
But certain things
idamental, he said. These do
^ange. They are:
Did fast ,to the word of the
ear your own cross and fol
tirist.
an example to the flock,
cpect to have a godly house
God will give it to you
(do not say: "Young folk* will be
roguei ; what eah we do?")
5. T akp time for prayer, reading
and it editatfcm.
6. K ever brack down, build up ?
do no ; curtail your work, look for
more opportunities of service.
7. Do no* stop learning ? the man
who ceasea toleam is not fit to
teach. |
Sunday school superintendents
shoulq memorize these rules, then
pass them on to Sunday school
teachers. Perhaps then the alarm
ing lowes in our Sunday schools
throughout the country might be
stoppc(i.
Pastors everywhere are alarmed
over the* Sunday school slump. The
children haven't vanished out of
the country, they have simply van
ished out of Sunday school. At a
recent conference of teachers and
ministers, one of the acute problems
of each Sunday school seemed to be
the teacher ? his unwillingness to of
fer prdper example to the boys and
girls, his unwillingness to assume
spiritual responsibility for them.
Teachers have been too busy, or
occupied with other things, to fol
low up absentees. Some are prac
ticing personal habits which are not
consistent with spiritual teaching.
Careless use of Sunday by engaging
in secular pursuits or attending sec
ular amusements, social drinking,
and increasing use of beer in the
home and nutside. These are prov
ing to be a stumbling block to many
a youth. ?
For years I have Struggled to
bring one man .into the church.
Years ago he stumbled over the ex
ample of his Sunday school teacher,
whom fee saw in a saloon in a town
away frlbm their av- n home. He and
several i boy frieifSs had gone in to
explore, He never went back to
Sunday school and no one has ever
been able to get him into church
membership since. Maybe that is
foolish, ' but I would say that the
Sunday school teachers are going to
have to answer some questions on
judgment day.
AAA Design* Program

A program designed to help meet

the same time bring about a more
normal distribution in marketing,

Agriculture Anderson, W. W. Mast,
chairman of the Watauga County

480,000 Are Killed,
Wounded or Homeless
By the Atomic Blasts
San Francisco ? Japan gave, its
lint detailed report on the atomic
bomb today ? 70,000 persons killed
outright, 120.000 wounded, 290,000
made homeless and an unknown
number missing from the two drop
ped by Superfortresses on two of
her cities.
These casualty figures *vere sup
plemented by the report irf a Japa
nese scientist sent to the scene of
jcme blast to make a detailed inves
tigation. Radio Tokyo quoted his
estimation of the explosions ? "mon
strous ? spectacular."
A Domei dispatch recorded by
United Press here, said killed,
wounded and homeless in Hiroshima
and Nagasaki totaled 480,000 and
added that it was impossible yet to
estimate the number of missing.
Bodies buried in collapsed buildings
are still uncounted.
"Many persons are dying daily
from bums sustained during the
raids," the broadcast said. "Many
of those who received burns cannot
survive the wounds because of the
uncanny effects which the atomic
bomb produces on the human body.
Even those who received minor
burns and looked quite healthy at
first weakened after a few days for
some unknown reason."
Domei said 60,000 were killed,
100,000 were wounded and 200,000
were homeless in Hiroshima while
10,000 were killed, 20,000 wounded
and 90,000 homeless in Nagasaki.
The first atomic bomb exploded in
a shattering heat flash as if dangled
from a parachute a quarter of a mile
above Hiroshima, releasing mighty
whirpools of energy whose terrific
pressure continued for "a consider
able length of time," Sutezo Torli,
identified as a scientist by Tokyo
radio, reported.

FOURTH LAM* POOL
The fourth lamb pool will be held
on Friday, Aug. 31. We will use the
same system that we used before in
handling the lamba; that is, the
lambs will be identified by strings
of different colors and hauled to
North Wilkes bo ro, weighed, and
graded: This arrangement worked
out nicely before and it is being
worked this way so that farmers
can receive the subsidy payment on
their lambs.
The grader will be at North
Wilkesboro from 9 a. m. until late
at night to grade the lambs. A
number of farmers hauled their
lambs to Wilkesboro the last time
and saved the haul bill, and I hope
a number of farmers will do the
same thing this time. The railroad
yards are located just off main street
in North Wilkesboro. Turn in at
the mirror factory to go to the
yards.
We will take up lambs for our last
pool this year around Oct 1, so if
you have small lambs, hold them for
the last pool. Some farmers have
been selling lambs to dealers and
losing the subsidy and 1 hate to see
these farmers lose this money. If
you pool. your lambs, you are as
sured of getting the highest market
price and also the subsidy, so I hope
all farmers will take advantage of
this opportunity and get the highest
dollar for their lambs.
Note the change in the following
schedule. 1 have tried to arrange
this schedule so I would have trucks
to pick up the lambs as soon as we
tag them. The schedule for Friday,
Aug. 31, is as follows:
Lee Carrender's, 7:30 to 9:30 a. m.
C. M. Shore's, 1 to 1:30 p. m.
