GOWAN, Chairman Board of Elections McDowell County. I DR. MA1ER (Continued^ from first page) that he urged. Dr. Maier said thai where Christians agree that the Bible from Genesis to Revelation is the true word of God, and where they furthermore agree that the climax of Bible revelation is thai Christ died for sinners and earned full, free, and final salvation, there ; union should indeed be possible. The ; 70,000,000 Christians ought there fore raise to God a chorus of pray i ers begging for a God-pleasing un ion, based upon unity. Thus shall all Christians be to one another "be loved brethren." I The famous radio orator told oi people being converted and saved 'through hearing the Lutheran Horn jin China, where the converted men neither knew the speaker nor had ever seen him. This is the power of | the word of God. Dr. Maier said the I spreading of this word is the work j of the Lord' in which Christians : should engage more and more. | When the Lutheran Hour began, i there were far more famous radio j voices and programs. Today many | of them are forgotten. But the Lu theran Hour—Bringing Christ to the Nations—is now the most wide spread radio program in the world. I Thus the blessing of the Holy Spirit | fulfills the promise "Your labour in i the Lord is not in vain." | Dr. Maier graciously reminded the audience that the pastor of St. Mat j thew's, Rev. Charles Frenzel, is a j former student of his. The profes I sor and the f ormer student conduct ! ed the service. The choir of children j sang "Christ Our True and Only j Light." CAMPBELL RESIGNS (Continued on last page) with my resignation to be effective April 23rd, 1949, due to a reoccur \ aiice of an old head ailment. I find it very difficult to live in this cli ' mate. This was certainly unfore seen, and means that I will have to give up this opportunity at the ; Bank, which is outstanding from a future standpoint. You have a fine Bank, well operated and it is cer tainly most pleasant working with the Board, Officers and employees. I I want to express my apprecia ■ tion to each of you for your kind ness in every way, and I regret hav ing to do this more than I can say; i however, my health has to be consid j ered first."

It was an interesting game from the first ball to the last, and even though Johnny Lanning's boys put up a terrific fight in the ninth it was to no avail. Errors by Marion made it rough for Duncan, who! pitched for the locals, as he gave up ! only eight knocks. Addy, for the visiting Skylarks pitched masterful ball, also allowing only eight hits. The hitting parade, which was short was led by Ray Yow, who col lected two hits out of three trips to the plate, for the Marauders. For the visitors it was Jim Moore, who also was credited for two safeties, but he was at bat for a total of five trips.
