The bureau asked for $966,838, 000 for the fiscal year 1934, but after the economy bill went through this figure was trimmed to $506, 838,000. Before the year had ended, how ever, two changes added $96,000, 000 to this cost and the bureau wound up by spending $602,838, 000 for the 1934 fiscal year. Estimate was made by the bureau that it could go through the fiscal year 193 5, which ends this July, in $546,505,891. The President made another change in the law, however, which added $21,092,205 to the cost. Congress made it a little more and appropriated $5 67, 598,096 and then lowered the bars still another notch to add $90, 089,408 to the cost. Other recent changes by presi dential regulation set officials to figuring again and they produced an estimate that it would cost $660,242,5 8 5 by the end of this fiscal year. This figure they piaced alongside the $966,838,000 they had calcul ated necessary to cover expenses for 1934 to get an estimated re maining annual savings of $300, 000,000. "And virtually all of it is being made by the cutting off of non service connected cases,” one offi cial said. Fisher To Speak In Court House Sat. At 8 P. M. W. B. Fisher, of Andrews, N. C., State Manager for the Townsend Old Age Pension Plan will explain this Pension Bill to the people of Rowan County in the County Courthouse in Salisbury on Satur day evening, March 30th, at eight o’clock. This Townsend Pension Bill has 1 ; already been introduced in Con 'gress and is being favored by a large number of Congressmen. About thirty-five million voters have already signed petitions, fav oring this bill but more are need ed. All voters are invited to sign petitions. Opportunity will be af forded without charge to all who wish to sign. The Townsend Bill provides that the Government pay to all citizens of the United States, man or wo man over the age of sixty years, $200.00 per month the rest of their lives upon two conditions: viz: job, if any, to be given up to the unemployed and to spend the en tire amount of the $200.00 every thirty days into the channels of trade. The bill allows you to pay 10 per cent to your church and charitable institutions and five per cent to your fraternal organiza tions. Mr. Fisher will thoroughly ex plain this proposition and everyone who is interested in any way should hear him. Franklin News Mrs. Pat Sloop spent last Thurs day and Friday with her father, J. A.

A Review Lesson Subject: Lessons from the Life and Letters of Peter. Scripture: I Peter 5:6; 11. Peter 3:14-18. Golden Text: Grow in grace and in the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. II. Peter 3:18. The Life of the Apostle Peter In our study of the past weeks we have found that the original name of this man was Simon, being a native of Bethsaida of Galilee. He married and made his home in Cap ernaum where along with his broth er Andrew he was the owner of a home. With this brother and James and John he was a partner in a company of fishermen. While down in Judea he was ap proached by his brother Andrew who told him that he had found the Messias of prophecy and by this brother he was brought to Jesus who gave him the Aramaic name "Cephas” of which Peter is the Greek translation. By reason of his personal characteristics he be came the most prominent among the disciples. Peter was very impulsive, often times speaking without mature re flection. The sudden promptings of his nature made him speak sometimes when he did not know what he said. But with it all he gave utterance to things revealed by the Spirit of God as in the case of his confession of Tesus as the Messiah, the Son of God. He was generally the spokesman for the whole company and was invariably one of three to whom were given special privileges. The darkest page of his history is that which tells of the denial of his Lord, but emphasis is also to be placed upon his sincere repentance. After His resurrection his Lord honored him by giving him a special appearance and before a company of the Apostles He restored the pen titent one to his apostolic office. In the early days of the church Peter was the most prominent preacher. We find that he is active in all the programs of the church until the great missionary journeys are begun by Paul, whom Peter calls "beloved brother.” While he was prominent in the council in Jerusalem others made a like contri bution to the final decision. With Paul leading in the work among [ the Gentiles and with James the Lord’s brother in charge of the church in Jerusalem Peter is not again mentioned in the book of the Acts. He preached in various places, sometimes accompanied by his wife. Tradition tells us that he suffered martydrom in Rome. This is implied from the words of our Saviour in John 21:19. Dionysius of Corinth declares that he and Paul were martyred about the same time, 68 A. D. ; The First Epistle of Peter The writings of this Apostle that have come to us are the two epistles ' that bear his name. There is inter- ■ esting information about the Gos- 1 pel according to Mark which con veys the knowledge that Mark '< wrote what Peter preached. Clem- ^ ent of Alexandria tells us that the Christians of Rome having heard 1 Peter preach "besought Mark to ' write out tne tnings mat were pro- ' minent in Peter’s preaching.” How- ] ever, Peter did not write this Gos- 1 pel. Without giving authorities for ’ the conclusion we make the follow- 1 ing statements. Peter wrote his first 1 epistle from Babylon in the Eupr rates valley about the year 64 A. D. Mark and Silas were with him and the latter carried the letter to its destination. Peter had evidently received some recent information ] about the Christians of the Disper- ■ sion; these Christians were both ] Jews and Gentiles and Peter was t writing to exhort them to stand ( fast in the face of the fiery trials < through which they were passing. , There was also probably another j object because of the work of cer- ] tain “Judaizers” who had been busy , making misrepresentations concern ing the work of the preachers of ( the Gospel. Peter desires to pub- ; lish the fact of his agreement with the Apostle Paul as to the great , doctrine of Christianity. The Second Epistle of Peter The place of the composition of ] this epistle is thought to have been at some piint between. Babylon and i Rome. The time of writing is sup posed to have been very early in 68 ; A. D., a short time before his death. ; The letter was written "to them ] that have obtained like precious faith with us.” It is evident from ’ 3:1 that those who were addressed in the first epistle were also in the :ircle to which the second was ad dressed. From the contents of the 1 tpistle it is believed that reports of ] a new outbreak of heresy furnished the occasion for the letter. There were those who were denying the deity of Christ, who were doubting the promise of His second coming, they denied the majesty of His person. It is no wonder, then, that they had disgraced the profession of Christian liberty which brought them to living licensed and degrad ed lives. Some were seducing those who were unstable and were there fore ripe for destruction. As "hope” was the keynote of the first epistle, "knowledge” was the keynote of this. Peter warned them against these false teachers and exhorted them to growth in holiness of life. The Golden Text The words of our "golden text” give not only a good summary of the Apostle’s exhortation, but they give a good index to his own life. As Jacob in the Old Testa ment so does Peter in the New give a striking illustration of the trans forming power of grace. Beginning with the knowledge of Jesus Christ as the one in whom prophecy was fulfilled he went on to know Him as the Shepherd of his soul. Growth in grace and knowledge of Christ will bring into the likeness of Christ. Is it any wonder that he speaks of precious faith?

Doughton Voted For Vinson Bill Washington.—Congressman R. Doughton, of the Ninth North Carolina District, voted for the /inson bill in the bonus battle in he House of Representatives last veek. The Vinson bill had the upport of the American Legion nd was reported favorably to the douse by the Ways and Means Committee, of which body Mr. Doughton is Chairman. Three major bonus bills were /oted on by the House: First, the Hinson bill, introduced upon the •equest of the American Legion and iupported by that group of vet nans. This bill received the sup sort of the Ways and Means Com nittee and the vote of Mr. Dough :on. It calls for the immediate sayment of the adjusted-service sertificates of the veterans of the vorld war, to be financed as other sbligations of the Government are net. This bill was defeated by a imall margin. The second measure was the Pat nan bill, calling for the imdediate sayment of the adjusted-service sertificates to world war veterans ivith "printing pree money.”. This neasure was designed primarly to bring about inflation rather than obtain payment of the bonus to as sist the veterans, it was charged President Roosevelt and leaders of the House and Senate have openly expressed opposition to this measure, declaring it would bring financial chaos to this country should it try to pay its debts with printing press money. This bill passed the House in defiance of the threat of a Presidential veto. Although opposed to the Patman bill, Mr. Doughton used his influ ence to bring out a rule to make it possible for it to be considered on the floor of the House. The third measure was the Tyd ings-Andrews bill providing for the payment of veterans’ adjusted-ser vice certificates in coupon bonds of the United States equal to their pre sent face value with interest at the rate of three per cent per annum, from January 1, 1936 to January 1, 1945. Mr. Doughton also voted for this measure after the Vinson bill was defeated. It is believed that the Tydings Andrews bill will form the basis of compromise of the bonus question. Mr. Doughton, as a conferee of the House, will be in a position to use his influence to work out the best possible bill for the veterans. COULD HAVE WAITED Little John—But why did the doctor bring me a baby sister when he knew I wanted a brother? Big Ben—Why he said he hap pened to be out of boys. Little John—Shucks, I could have waited a few weeks longer. Maps Program For Congress Washington.—A tentative sev en-point program for the remaind er of the present session of congress, regarded at the Capitol as signifi cant for its ommissions, was mapped out by President Roosevelt and Senator Robinson, the Democratic leader. The calendar, while not a "hard and fast” one but flexible enough to permit of intrusion of other bills, listed the following as among the dozen or more pending major meas ures which will be considered with a view to final disposition: 1. —NRA extension. 2. —Social security, including both old age pension and unemploy ment insurance. 3. —Regulation of utility holding companies. 4. —Increased capitalization for the Home Owners’ Loan corpora tion. 5. —Consolidated transportation regulation, including railroads, ships, aviation, buses, and trucks. 6. —Banking legislation increasing powers of the Reserve board over credit and currency. 7. —Tightening of food and drug laws. Senator Robinson on leaving the White House, emphasized this was not to be considered a "must” list.
