Until recent years people didn't \ 1 ; realize the value of preserving the I : forests, birds, flowers, animals and j fish. They were very wasteful be- j ' cause they didn't realize the value j of preserving them for the future ; generations. At • our present time we are trying to be more careful. • ■ Let us go for a walk in the j 'forest. While walking through the; ' forest we come upon a rippling ; stream. We are to rest here for 1 awhile. Let's take a look at the. 1 surroundings. There are many f beautiful fish darting to and fro in ! ; the stream. Do you realize if we I 5 should fish too much, there would j ' be no fish? There are some very j : j beautiful flowers further up the j 1 stream but don't pick too many or j the next people who come will not. get to enjoy them. Look at the; " stately trees that are everywhere! 3 swaying to and fro. It is so cool j 5 j in their shade. If they were de-' ,stroyed, what would we do whenj] jwe come next time? Look at the ! £ animals darting among the trees. || ' What would they do if hunters i •'should kill or destroy the forests? 'Now that we are tired, let's lie , down on the grass. What's that;] j sound? Oh, it's only birds. Their j ( i voices sound so melodious. Look! A What is he doing? Yes, I see, he j is eating insects that are on the' ( tree. There is another over in ! ( that field. I do believe he is eat-!; ing the farmer's grain. No, he is ] flying away with a field mouse, j ( Why do people kill such workers? !j Just for sport. Such foolishness, jj. People who are careless about birds j are careless about forest fires also, j Let's teach them to preserve these jx things. Our government schools, j v different clubs and organizations j c are doing much to enlighten the j people concerning these. j Will Hold Cotton h Institute SoonS? i April 20.—The * Junior Woman's Club, this place, is completing plans for a Cotton Festi • val to be held in May.

OWEN; Asheville Pastor Warns A gainst Menace of Russian Civilization. i 1 | Asheville, April 20.—"The lead 'ers of Russia today will not drink, I they will not attend dances, or in- ( •dulge in any pastime that hinders the full use of all their powers in teaching the world that to own prop- , ertv is the chief scourge of man kind," said Dr. William Russell ' Owen in his sermon at the First Baptist church on "The Russian I Revolution Prophecy of Ezekiel," Sunday night. i "In five years, if the Russian pro gram to industrialize a nation with' ,• American methods of mass produc tion succeeds, every American indus i try will be seriously threatened with I the keenest competition by the So ! Viet Government of Russia." The highest salaries of expert of f ficials in the textile industry in Rus-. | sia is $35.00 per month. Fancy com paring these overhead charges with similar leaders in America at $50,000 to SIOO,OOO a year and it is not easy ( to see that there will be serious com petition in wheat, lumber, rubber, etc., which Russia can produce even now cheaper than we can. With one of the Archbishops, Vie densky, saying of the church, It ac quired pomp, power, riches, but lost its soul," no wonder that Maurice " Hindus says of Russia, "A whole gen- j eration is being vigorously reared : in the belief that religion is a mon- , trous unreality." j Love and Religion Gorse. Love has gone with its romance. ( Free love and unlimited divorce ; s rife. Chastity is no longer a badge j of honor and glory. Divorces are at the rate of 1.6 to every ten marriages ' "Science, democracy and education has scorched the life blood out of . love," the Russia Muzhik avers, and / family life has been invaded until it j is the enemy of the Communist propaganda that ownership of prop erty and wealth makes man a "put- ; rid scavenger" upon his fellow man. The uprooted Russian Republic and society's ideals blasted, is al most complete in the Russia of to day. When they broke with religion and went over to atheism, ev«rythjn£* that man holds., .dear went into dis card. Russia's dream of "No pov- , erty, economic equality, no slums, j j no difference between manual and j mental effort, equality of sexes, no national boundaries, mysticisms, dead; religion dead; prejudice and superstition dead; a new man and a new age enthrone is exhilarating the nation of Russia with marvelous optimism but it is only staving off the day when the bloody hand of the revolution will have to raise itself single-handed against a united and threatened world. : Ezekiel prophecy shows in chapters 35, 36, 37, 38, 39 and perhaps the Gog and Magog of that book may be I modern Russia. | Shiloh School j j Closing Soon I Rutherfordton, R-l, April 20.
