SECTION TWO—: New Law Affects Loans ByVeterans Loan Gratuity Payment Suspended For Ten- Month Period Public Law 149, 83rd Congress, ap proved by the President on July 27, 1953, provided for the suspension of GI Loan Gratuity payments during the ten-month period, September 1, 1953, to June 30, 1954. Veterans Administration announced) that in compliance with this law gra tuity payments will not be made to veterans who obtain GI loans after August 31, 1953. Previously, veterans who obtained GI loans were given a gratuity pay ment equal to 4 per cent of the guar anteed portion of the loan up to a maximum of $l6O. These payments were credited to the veterans loan ac counts by the lenders. Where loans have been initiated prior to the cut-off date, VA said that gratuity payments may be made after August 31, 1953, only ,if the loans fall within the following categories: * 1. A loan on which VA has issued an evidence of gratuity or insurance or has issued a certificate of commit ment dated prior to September 1, 1953. 2. A loan which has been closed and actually paid out in full prior to September 1, 1953, by a supervised lender. 3. A VA direct loan which has been closed or on which VA has issued a notice of approval or a commitment prior to the cut-off-date. VA said it was bringing its Region al Officers and all lenders participat ing in the GI loan program to avoid any delays in processing loan papers which may result in a veteran being deprived of his gratuity payment.

All of its in habitants had fled the advancing ene my horde with the exception of one young peasant; a woodman, judging from the axe he carried in his belt. The French officer in charge order ed him to be shot. The soldiers rais ed their muskets in anticipation of the command to fire, but it never came. The young lad looked cooly down the barrels of the upraised guns, never flinching, and the commander, struck with his courage, ordered his men to lower their muskets and spare the i prisoner’s life. “But,” he said, “we shall put our mark upon him.” They made a branding iron red hot and placed it on his hand. When it was removed the letter “N” was burned there. “What is that?” asked the woodman. “That,” said the officer, “is an ‘N’ for Napoleon; you belong to him now.” The peasant turned, placed his branded hand upon a solid place, took his axe from his belt, and with one stroke severed his'hand from his arm. “There now,” he cried in triumnh, “there is not one bit of me | that does not belong to the Czar.” That man was truly loyal. He would rather have lost his hand than be branded a traitor. I wonder how many of us who are Christians are as loyal to our Lord as he was to the Czar? Paul could say “I bear on my body the marks of Christ.” Os course, he referred to the punishment to which he had been subjected because of his uneomnromising stand for the Gos pel. Yet even today, in this so-called Christian land, there are certain marks which distinguish a Christian from the world. Among them are the evidence of the indwelling Spirit, which is listed in the Bible as love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, temper SCHENLEY Blended Whiskey, 86 Proof.

If you profess to love and follow Christ, yet manifest in your daily living such distinguish ing characteristics as hate, strife, im patience, ungraciousness, selfishness, unbelief, pride, envy, you bear upon your life, where all can see it, the brand of Satan, the brand of a trait or. And as a professing Christian, an ambassador of Christ, you must sever from your everyday routine any ex- I perience which might lead someone to believe you belonged to another than the Christ who redeemed you, and bought you with His own preci ous blood. Loose talk, worldliness, a flippant attitude toward sacred things, all these constitute the “mark of the beast” for . our uay and age; ana IN MEMORIAM In memory of C irge A. Hollowell, Sr., who passed August 29, 1952: One year ago tonight, dear dad, Jesus came from high, To carry you to heaven Where we’ll meet you by and by. Little did we realize That our parting was near at hand But Jesus wanted you in heaven So we can only trust and understand. You tried to tell us something. But, daddy, we didn’t know, That you were going so soon to Jesus. Oh, how we miss you so! | “Where is Granddaddy, Mommie?” I hear these words so clear— ' I say, he’s in heaven, darling, We feel his presence near. God came so quickly, daddy And took away your soul, To join his band of angels Where you’ll never grow old. You’re always in our mind and heart Everywhere and any place; But there is one consolation— Someday, we shall see you face to face. His Daughter and Grandchildren. Mrs. Edward J. Chappell and Sherly Joy and Bobby Chappell Christians who indulge in them, or encourage them, are serving the cause of Satan rather than God. But we are not our own, we are bought with a price: therefore, says the Bible, we are to glorify God in our bodies, and in our spirits, which are God’s (I Co rinthians 6: 19, 20).
