The gathering here adjourned at noon after several hundred delegates and visitors had completed re ports and business matters, reso lutions against crime and Bex, literature, heard Bishop Paut B.

The 1937 host church will be Edenton Street Methodist church in the State capital, whose pas tor, Dr. E. C. Few, is returning for his sixth consecutive year, an unusual assignment in Method ism.

Selec tion was made without the name of any other city being submitted. Attacks Gambling In extemporaneous remarks, the Bishop rigorously deplored the prevalence of gambling and the gambling spirit as one of the greatest evils in America today and he urged the ministers to preach frequently on th* subject from their pulpits.

D. Simons, preaching hi* first sermon as pastor of Louis burg Baptist Chorch on Sundarr Norember 22, used as his sub ject: "The Grace of Gratitude," baaing his sermon on the Incident of Christ's healing o( the ten lep ers, which subject was most time ly as this was the Thanksgiving service. Prof. I. D. Moon of Louisburg College had charge of the music; and an appropriate solo was rendered by Mrs. R. T. Mills of Plnehurst, daughter of Mr. 8. H. Averitt. This Thanks giving service was attended by one of the largest congregations ever to attend a regular preach ing service In Louisburg. The pastor singled out the one leper who returned to give thanks to Christ for the incomparable blessing received because he ex emplified the grace of gratitude in a manner such as It should be expressed ititthe life of every christian. Very many christians, he alleged, are deficient in this grace; and he cited their tenden cy to recount their misfortunes in proof of his allegation. "They have a distressing faculty for re membering the unpleasant epi sodes of life. One grievance sup plies them with a topic of con versation for a week and no soon er have they dropped one than they take up another," he said In norf From this point, the meditation was directed to a consideration of the methods whereby chris tians might develop the grace of gratitude In their lives. The two methods named and discnssed were the giving of thanksgiving a larger place in their daily pray ers and the setting aside of sea sons for recounting God's bless ings. "Incidentally," he added, "this latter method is effective for the dissipation of our sor rows." This second major division of the message was devoted to a consideration of certain values of gratitude. The expression of gratitude quickens the pulse of life with Joy. In fact, it is also a powerful stimulus to sacrificial living, he asserted. Dr. Simons, who received his Ph. D. degree from the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary at Louisville, Ky., Is a native of Coleraln, N. C., where his moth er, who is a widow, now resides. He comes to Loulsburg directly from the Indian Road Baptist Church of Toronto, Canada, which pastorate he served for seven years. Mrs. Simons is a native of Georgia and received her Mas ter's degree from the Woman's Missionary Union Training School at Louisville, Ky. Dr. and Mrs. Simons have two very fine young sons, John David, age four years, and Marvin Thomas, age two years. Threat of Break ___ London, Nov. 24. ? The diplo matic correspondent of the Dally Telegram said tonight that Ger man Ambassador Joachim Von Ribbentrop has informed Prime Minister Stanley Baldwin that Germany will break off diplo matic re^tions with Soviet Rus sia if E. I. Strlcklln, German en gineer, is executed. Stricklin has been sentenced to death by the military collegium of the Supreme Court in Russia for alleged sabotage and counter revolution. Baldwin, It was understood, re plied that aiTopen breach between Germany and Russia would ser iously prejudice all attempts to secure a new European peace system. It was rumored that Ribbentrop also attempted to sound out Bald win regarding Britain's possible adhesion to the Impending Ger man-Japanese antl-commuDlst de claration. Baldwin reportedly re jected the idea. MEMBER DIKEAN SOCIETY i (Special to Franklin Times) Greensboro, Nov. 24. ?

Fight Tuberculosis ; When you buy your Christmas ? Seats to light tuberculosis, re- 1 member that three and one-half million people have died of tuber- i culosls in the United States dur- I Ing the last thirty years. This Is t an appalling thought, one which awakens our desires and endear- < ore to fight this dread disease. 1 Our encouragement lies In an- i other statistical fact. In three i decades the deaths from this dls- ' ease In the United States have ' been reduced from 200 for each 100,000 living persons to less than sixty. What has brought i this tuberculosis death rate down so steadily? The answer Is, the 1 organised work of the various ' agencies through the Tuberculo- 1 sis- Association. The Christmas-Seal-Sale Is one of the agencies In the. United States. Franklin County, yearly puts on this Sale to aid In con quering tuberculosis. Therefore, when you buy your Christmas Seals you will be making your ? contribution toward saving lives In Franklin County, as well as In the whole United States. The investment you make In health and in the saving of life brings you manifold dividends ? satisfac tion, Joy, contentment, glad-con sciousness of ,rlght doing. Buy seals from the Children! Buy seals at Boddie's and Scog gln's ! Mrs. R F. Yarborough, Chairman. Why worry because one in every seven married couples Is now divorced?
