Record Breaking Num
ber of Hunters Ex
pected This Year
A record limber of hunters to ex
pected this yew according to C. W.
Overrrtan, county agtot lor tfife State
College Extension Service. With
more hunters in the field than ever
before, the National Safety Council
in campaigning for strict obaervnneo
of firearms safely.
Safe hunting' depends on the com
mon sense, courtesy, and constant
vigilance of all those who engage
in this sport Accidents can be re
duced if the most common causes for
them are avoided.
The moat common causes are: use
of modem loads in old Damascus
barrel shotguns; failure to keep the
safety on until ready to fire; failure
of hunters to guard against heavy
twigs pulling the trigger and firing
accidentally; crossing (fences or slip
pery rocks while carrying a loaded
firearm; and failure to recognize—
or to wear—bright colored, distinc
tive clothing designed to prevent a
hunter from being mistaken for a
deer or other game animal.
Treat your gun as if it were load
ed, even when you feel sure it is emp- 3
ty. Keep it empty and whenever pos- I
slble with the action open except <
when you are ready to shoot. Always i
keep the muzzle pointed away from K
anything you would not want to <
shoot. A real sportsman will never j
point an empty gun at another per- <
son, nor wrestle or engage In horse
play with anyone holding a gun. i
Never indulge in alcoholic drinking
■while hunting. ]

Jesus is coming again!
Indeed, there is much more in the
Bible about the second coming of
Christ than there is about His first
coming. Belief in this truth is pre
sented as the blessed hope of the
Christian, a source of comfort, an in
centive for holy living. Here is a
great certainty for an age off uncer
tainty—Jesus is surely coming again!
And men who know the (Bible best
say Hia coming is not far off.
For centuries, Christian scholars
have maintained that the second com
ing of Christ would be immediately
preceded by a mass migration of Jews
to Palestine. The Jews were driven
out of the Holy Land by the Roman
Emperor Titus in A. D. 70, almost
nineteen centuries ago. In 1946, for
the* first time since then, they began
to return in large numbers. And
this, we are told in the Word of God,
is a token of the soon return of
Jesus.
Writing 83 years ago, in 1869, the
great Horatius Bonar listed, from his
Bible, some signs that will occur just
before the Lord comes again. ’ He in
cluded: increase of travel; increase of
education; increase of wars; political
materialism (communism); error re
garding the person and work of
Christ; subversion of the cross, blood
low men is the blessed hope and ex
and righteousness of Christ; the plac
a»T,"T wmBBBPfr
ing off man’s mind about the Bible;
emphasis on religtotu formalism; in
crease of spiritualism; world-wide
missionary enterprise; worid-wide cir
culation of the Bible; special evange
listic efforts In behalf off the Jews.
Them was no sign of any of these In
1869—today they exist all around us.
And they are to flourish immediately
before the second coming of Christ
Signs of Hia coming multiply,
Morning light breaks in ssstern
sky,
Watch! for ths day Is drawing
nigh;
Jesus is coming soon.
Do you believe this ? If you really
do, it will influence your whole life.
It will affect everything you do.
For “every man that hath this hope
within him," writes the apostle John,
"purifisth himself, even Ha is
11!

If we love Him, we long to see Him:
and want to be found doing His will

Then, too, belief in the imminent
return of Jesus Christ will give you
a passion for souls. Do you really
