Golden Text: “He that over
cometh shall inherit these things;
and I will be his God, and he
shall be My son.”—Rev. 21:7.
Lesson Text: Revelation 21:1-7,
10-12, 22-24
Our lesson this week brings us to
the close of God’s Word. It is a per
fect end and the only possible end if
God is omnipotent as we believe He
is. The Word of God begins, in
Genesis, with a picture of beauty, of
perfection, with man, the highest
creation of God, in perfect commun
ion with Him. Sin, in the form of a
serpent, soon enters and comes be
tween man and his God. Sin is com
mitted, a curse is placed on man and
from that hour to the last hour of
this earth’s existence, under the
dominion ol man, there has been and
will continue to be a conflict be
tween good and evil. Only when
man accepts Jesus Christ and the
salvation from sin which he offers,
can man hope to re-establish the
communion of his soul with its mak
er, God.
The ultimate hope of every Chris
tian is to be forever with his Lord,
Jesus Christ. John, in his vision,
received a revelation of the place
where the redeemed souls will spend
eternity. Deep down_ within the hu
man heart there is a firm conviction
that death does not end all for the
individual—that there is a future
life for that part of us that can never
die—the soul.
Man has always been interested in
this question, asked by Job long
ago, “If a man die, shall he live
again?” The Christian answers,
“Yes.” We know that the body
dies, but the soul—the real self—
lives on after death. Take Jesus for
an example. The New Testament
tells us that he died physically on
the-cross, but on the third day he
&ty>se from the grave. We believe
that he iis alive today. Because he

that they will be recognizable. Moses

More Defense Foods Needed
“Mora.milk, mors aggs, more pork” la tha food-for-dafanaa appeal
being made te American farmers by the U. S. Department of Agri
culture. Farmers are responding unitedly, the Department says, and
are toning hogs quantities of feed from the AAA Erer-Normal
Granary into energy-giving foods. Milk production ia Highest on
record) egg production is higher than in any year except 1980; extra
numbers of brood sows are being held over for fall farrowing. Never*
thelees, the Department declares, even additional increases in these
products must be nude to supply the growing home demand and the
easergenag needs of Great Britain.
faithful.
However, outside the walls are
pictured the fearful, those who de
nied their Lord, those who refused to
believe in Christ, those who were
guilty of idolatry, the murderers, the
fornicators, the sorcorers, the liars
or deceivers. Instead of being per
mitted to enter and enjoy the bless
ings of heaven, these will be cast
into the lake of fire —Hell—or the
scrap heap of the universe.
The life in heaven is to be a per
fectly happy one, for Heaven is a
place of joy. The sorrows of life—
tears, death, sorrow, crying—will be
done away with. There will be no
sickness, there will be no fear, be
cause we will be with God eternally.
Ask yourself this question, now,
today: “Will I be with God and His
redeemed throughout eternity?” If
you want to be, you can. Paul de
clared, “The wages of sin is death,
but the gift of God is eternal life
through Jesus Christ our Lord.” Ac
cept Him, live for Him and live with
Him eternally. This life here on
earth is extremely short, but eter
nity is very long! Where will you
spend eternity?

State Headed For
Year's Most Traffic
Deaths Says Hocutt
Chowan Charged With
Three Deaths In First
Eight Months
According to a report of the High
way Safety Division this week,
Chowan County had two fatal acci
dents and three persons killed charg- ]
ed against its 1941 record at the (
close of the eighth month of the year. (
This is an increase over the same
period last year, when no fatal acci- ,
dents occurred in the county. /
The 742 persons killed in traffic |
accidents in North Carolina streets
and highways the first eight months (
of this year represented a 45 per
cent increase over the 509 persons 1
reported, killed in the same period 1
last year, and the number killed J
through August of this year exceed- ‘
ed the number killed through October 1
of last year.
“Although traffic fatalities all over j
the country have increased this year
as a result of increased motor va-j ,
hide registrations, soaring gasoline
sales, the stepped-up tempo of life in
general, and various other factors,
North Carolina’s record stands as a
shameful commentary on the
thoughtlessness, recklessness and
inattention of our drivers,” declared
Ronald Hocutt, director of the safe
ty division.
“Only two states in the country
have a higher mileage deajji rate '
than North Carolina and only one
state is charged with a greater per
centage increase in falatities,” he ;
added.
Sixty-six of the 100 counties show- ’
ed increases, 23 showed decreases
and 11 stayed on a par with last 1
year’s record. Some of the heavier •
increases were recorded in Wake, .
Columbus, Davidson, Durham, Cum
berland, Onslow, Pender and Samp- 1
son Counties. Some of the 1940
high fatality counties which are
showing decreases this year are j
Forsyth, Edgecombe, Nash, Cabar
rus and Catawba.
“It looks like we are headed for
the worst year in the state’s history
with respect to traffic deaths,”
Hocutt stated.

N. C. Farmers Should
Claim Their Cotton
Equity By October 1
North Carolina farmers will get a
chance at bat‘when American agri
culture begins its greatest “squeeze
play” of all time in a farm-to-farm
campaign which will begin next
month and is scheduled to score sub
stantial increases in the production
of virtually all farm commodities
next year in the World 'Series of
War.
There has been a call for increases
of approximately 15 per cent in tha
1942 production of all North Carolina
farm commodities except flue-cured
tobacco, cotton, com and wheat un
der the food-for-feed campaign re
cently announced by Secretary of
Agriculture Claude R. Wickard and
aimed to turn out the largest farm
production in the history of the
nation.
“Representatives of all North
Carolina branches of the U. S. De
partment of Agriculture will attend
a 13-state food-for-freedom confer
ence in Memphis, Tenn., September
29 and 30, to map plans for conduct
ing the production increase cam
paign,” it was announced by G. T. i
Scott, Johnson County farmer who
heads both the state USftA Defense
Board and the state AAA Committee.
The campaign, Mr. Scott said, will
involve visits by AAA committee
men and representatives of other U.
S. Department of Agriculture agen
cies to every farm in North Carolina
and throughout the nation.
“It is extremely fortunate,” the
AAA leader declared, “that our
farmers are organized as they are
under the AAA program and are able
through their local committeemen to
plan a farm program for next year
which will eclipse anything the world
Has ever seen. Next month farmers
will elect new, 1942 AAA committee
men in every township and commun
ity in the state. We farmers can
make our own path easier in this
year of record production by electing
men we know to be capable of the
kind of leadership that will be
needed.”
The food-for-freedom campaign
was announced after Uncle Sam a
greed to feed 10,000,000 more Bri
tons next year. _
