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.

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! mB f * i \ i ' OOOOO \ • m aw, «s mammi m . ligBMMmHBM' ■ EDENTON ICE COMPANY, INC. ■< S COME IN FOR FREE DEMONSTRATION Ij PHONE 47 EDENTON .‘H .■■MEEEIiHEtotfIMHEtoHHEfIB' ■ Authorized KLEER I^ESNDeoieJ pure.” One of the highest incen tives we have for lfring holy Uvea before oar God and before our fal pectation of the soon return of Jesus.
