Bob Reynolds regarding five bills he and Representative Joe Starnes, of Alabama, have introduced in Congress pertaining to restricted immigration and mandatory deportation, registration of all aliens, etc. We have always contended that if we could rid our shores of this low-down foreign element there would be less crime and a lot more peace in this country. Practically all of our so-called daily "sensational" news is the upshot of the sorry antics of one or more foreign bred \ andals. In view ol" this situation which we believe should be seriously studied by every voter we present the following from Mr. Reynolds' letter: We believe that proper solution of our immigration problem deserves the serious consideration of the Congress and every American citizen. According to the 1930 census there were 14/204,149 foreign born in the United States, of whom 6,284,613 were aliens. The foreign-stock population at that time was 40,286,278, a third of our total population. This was the largest number in the history of the Nation. During the first ten years of quota law retsriction. during which the world passed through the most serious economic depression in its history, 3,687,547 aliens en tered the United States, of whom 2,010,896 were new immigrants. More than 1,000,000 others were denied visas during the past five years by the Consular Service of the 1 Department of State. v At lea>t one out of e very eight persons on relief in this Country is an alien. Our relief agencies make no ' distinction between American citizens and aliens in ad- ! ministering relief. The Social Security Act makes no ( distinction in the application of its terms between Amer- 1 ican citizens and aliens. Hundreds of thuosands of aliens . I" are holding jobs in America drawing hundreds of millions [ t of dollars in wages, which are rightfully the heritage * of American citizens. Alien criminals who are roving a at large and preying upon American citizens should be de- I ported. We are unable to check upon the number of aliens at large or the number coming into this country for lack of an alien registration act. In order to provide employment for American citi- 1 zens, protect our wage standards, our living conditions, ^ our American institutions, and to reduce the relief bur- < den, alleviate social conditions, remove our alien criminal population, and provide for an Alien Registration Act, j we have introduced a series of bills to accomplish these ] results. ~ ( These bills if enacted into law will prohibit the employment of any alien by any department or agency of the U. S. Government; provide for the mandatory deportation of alien criminals and spies and aliens on re15Af. , ..muc ciisung immigration quotas by ninety percent; establish quotas for Western Hemisphere countries on a reciprocal basis; prohibit the separation of families by denying entry to any alien who leaves his family abroad; and provide for the registration of all aliens now in the United States or who shall hereafter be admitted. While the United States prepares for peace many j other nations prepare for war. If we should be so unfortunate as to be drawn into the holocaust of another world war it seems the part of folly to spend a billion dollars annually on ' .itional Defense for protection of our Country and its institutions from an enemy from without and permit more than six and a quarter millions of aliens to remain in this Country to become potential spies and enemies to bore from within. These aliens have neither pledged, nor do they owe, allegiance to the ' "V Cherokee Scout, Murphy, North Carolii "GET US OUT OF THE MUD" The press of the state, seem.* to have risen "up in arms" during the past few weeks, over the conditons of secondary roads in the state. The weeks of steady rain have made some of the roads the worst in years. Schools in many counties have had to suspend their work because of the roads. Under the caption, "Get Us Out of the Mud", The Mecklenburg Times had the following comment to make: "Get us out of the mud" is the cry of rural residents in all parts of North Carolina. This winter has given a severe test to the roads in North Carolina and many of them have been impassable for weeks at a time, making it impossible for school busses to operate in many districts and slowing down traffic of all kinds. Rural residents feel that they have paid sufficient taxes into the state highway department to have much better roads than they arc getting. They also feel that more money is being spent on what is known as primary highways than is necessary and that the greater part of these funds should be diverted to improvements of secondary roads which have been neglected during the past five years. These people are m dead earnest and expect to continue until they pet some action from the highway department. Many of them feel that the highway department has an enormous amount of money. In fact, it is known that other state departments have tried to get funds diverted from the highway department for use in other state departments. Farmers in this section want no diversion of funds except from primary roads to secondary roads. According to reports from the highway department made pubic to the legislature there is at present about $160 per mile per year available for maintenance of county roads. This is a great amount of money but the people of this county do not believe that they have had the average amount for roads in Mecklenburg County. In addition to the money collected by the state highway department for roads, the Federal government has furnished considerable funds for highways, roads and trcets, very little of which has come to any of the secondary roads. The National Emergency Council during ho period from April 8, 1935 to December 31, 1936 >pent in North Carolina for highways, roads and streets | 1 ?8,f>48,455 according to Robert M. Gantt state director. Honey front other Federal funds has been used in emdoying labor and purchasing material for highways in i his state. With all of this the secondary read system j rent to pieces during this winter so that school buses ( :ouhl not run anil many farmers could not get their auto- j nobiles away from home. Following this same line of thought. The Gates . , 'ounty Index, takes the position that the state is getting | ; he cart before the horse, in providing a million and a a 1 f dollars for free school books for the children, when he rural roads are getting worse all the time, and with nany more rainy weeks as we have just experienced, the chools won't be open long enough to justify the ex- i lenditure for the free text books. o 1 MAYOR'S FUTILE JOKE An amusing twist was given to a municipal campaign t n Vancouver, B. C., when the re-election of Mayor L. J 3. Taylor was opposed by all the newspapers in the ] :ity. i Some time previous to the campaign Mr. Taylor had ' Lieen apparently at the point of death, so newspapers | had prepared highly commendatory editorials for publiration when he should shuffle off, and had set them in J type. The mayor got well ami the type was discarded, i but proofs had been struck and he somehow got hold of j i them. ' At the height of the campaign he read the laudatory . editorials to a large audience, much to the amusement I I of the public and the discomfiture of the editors. . But the newspapers had their revenge. The mayor was defeated in the election. United States. We must enact and enforce immigration laws which will place the welfare of American and Americans first. No other Country pets and mollycoddles its alien population as we do. Other countries take the proper and sen- , sible view that in a country with an established government and institutions for the promotion of the welfare of its citizens that these citizens are entitled to first consideration in every respect. America is no longer a wilderness to explore and conquer, nor a Utopia for foreign exploitation. Let us therefore guard, protect and preserve our own.

INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOPIC? Why We Need Christ Always. YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC? K Life Here and Hereafter through Christ. \v It was the night before the darkest day in the world's history. On the morrow the Son of man was to F hang on Calvary's tree for the sins of the world?for your sins, and for nine. But for the moment he was alone with his disciples. The last Passover had been eaten together, OJ the betrayer had been discovered, and the Lord has told them that he ja was soon to go where they could not follow. Peter had, by his bold a self-assurance, brought forth the prophecy of his denial. The disciples u were disturbed. Then came from the al Saviour the words of comfort, assurance, and power which have been 11 the strength and solace of his people through all the centuries. Our bi life both here and hereafter is in His mighty hands. .Al I. Comfort (vv. 1-3). w Troubled hearts are everywhere? in the palace and in the cottage, on land and sea. There is a place of est, thank God! There is One who ' itill speaks the majestic words, 'Let not your heart be troubled, T re believe in God. believe also in th ne. His comfort is one which covers o< :he future life, for he says: [,< 1. "I go to prepare a p!ace"(v.2). Concern about future destiny is setled at once when Christ Jesus be:omes our Lord and Saviour. We leed worry no longer. He has gone jn before to the Father's house to 1 arepare a place for his own. When we come to that ever-peaceful shore r< we shall not come as strangers, but w as sons and daughters to a prepared alace in our Father's house. Tl 2. "I will come again" (v.3) is B the word that gives present meaning to the future promise. He not hi anly prepares the place, but he it ti' is who brings us there. The glorious rope of his coming again is the Christian's greatest comfort a n ci I mightiest incentive to useful, holy I living. I II, Assurance tvv. 4-11). The doctrine of Christian assurance is one of vital importance. and should be taught in all its scriptural power and beauty. Unfortunately it has so suffered violence at the hands of some of its friends it# that others have not only conre to bi Tear it, but even openly to oppose it. This is most regrettable, for it is manifest that until one has assurance he will make but little progress in Christian usefulness. The believers assurance rests P.in^orv.A??olU. Cl?l.i. ?-i ' W-t >uiiuuiiiciiiciu^ mi uiuiM iumsen. Two grounds are given in the text. 1. "I am the way, the truth, and he life" (v. 6). These words are ni their own best commentary. Read them again, slowly, weighing the to meaning of each word. If we are of in him who is the way, how safe ive are! If we are not in him? Read a, his own solemn words in verse 6, \v "No man cometh unto the Father but by me." (v. 11). jj In Christ dwells all the fullness of the Godhead. He is not only a supernatural being, he is God. How can 'u anyone deny that and read his 1 ivords in these verses? To do so is to make Jesus a liar and m blasphemer. III. Power (vv. 12-15). la His followers are not left in a world of sin and need as a little group of hymn-singing weaklings, thinking only of the day when they shall be in a brighter land. Ah, yes, they sing hymns and rejoice in gj them; they look for a better land; their weapons of warfare are not ? carnal?but weaklisgs? Oh, no! God uses them to do great and mighty things for his glory. 1. "He that believeth" (v. 12). This army of God carries the royal banner of faith. 2. "Greater works . . . shall he 5 do" (v. 12). Jesus only began his i work on earth. Its greatest development was to be the joyous privilege * of his followers. t 3. "If ye ask ... I will do" c (v. 14). Someone has called this a signed blank check on all the re- J sources of God. Faith fills it in, under the guidance of the Holy Spirit. Moody knew how to use it. So did Mueller, Livingstone, J. Hudson . Taylor?the list might go on indefinitely. Shall we dare to trust God and add our name as one of those who ask in faith?
