Jim Brown To Hold A Service Here Next Week Former Bootlegger Was Con verted By Dan Graham. Gives Experiences. ' Evangelist Jim Brown, who is j president of the Wata'uga coun ity Evangelistic club, will hold a | special service here at the West Jefferson Baptist church next Thursday night, May 8 to which the public is cordially invited. Before he was converted some time ago after hearing Dan Gra ham preach in Boone, Jim states that he had been engaged from time to time in the rum-running and bootlegging business. “The rest of my life I am going to devote to the Lord,” Jim de clared while in town Monday. “His way is the only satisfactory way of life; it is the only way to find real happiness,” he con fessed. “Before I was converted, I was in the liquor business and made a lot of money, but it never did me any good. I would get caught and that would cost me right much. I stayed drunk a good | deal of the time and finally got ! to the place where nothing seem ed to make any differnce. But now I’m a saved man,” he ex plained. “I haven’t touched a drop of whiskey since I was converted and I don’t crave it either, thank God. I have only had a Bible in my home for about ten months, but it has already made a tre mendous difference.” Jim works for the R. E. A. He says that he hopes to take spe cial training soon.

THE MOTORCADE BRINGS WORD ——OF THE FAIR - 1 To those ot us accustomed to communicating swiftly with busi ness associates, relatives and friends in nearby or distant cities, it is difficult to realize that only one hundred years ago there was no telegraph; that as recently as 1876 the telephone was looked upon as a gadget or plaything, and that ra dio broadcasting is less than twen ty years old. Yet communications have been one of the most vital elements in the growth and devel opment of all mankind —bringing change and progress in their wake. One of the most fascinating ex hibits at the New York World’s Fair is that of communications— the background of experiment which has led to its present stage, and the promise for the future in the adaptation of television to broader practical use. Word of the New York World’s Fair has been brought to the peo ple of America in many ways— through the press, motion pictures, radio and the like. No more unique CLINTON EGGS HATCHED IN A RECORD TIME CLINTON, May 7.—Although it was an incubator instead of a hen, the incident still deserves mention. If it had been a hen, it would have been nation-wide news. The “fast work” took place at the home of Mrs. R. E. Mason, said biddies were chirping with in 12 days after she had placed 230 eggs in her incubator. Hatching of biddies requires about 21 days in most crises. Mrs. I Mason said it was the quickest she had even known eggs to hatch. The Extension Service celeb rated its 25th year of teaching an enlightened agriculture on May 8. the Smith-Lever Act having been signed by President Wood row Wilson just a quarter cen tury before.

I i LETTER SUPPOSED TO HAVE BEEN WRITTEN BY CHRIST Following is the letter suppos ed to have been written by Christ soon after his crucifixion and was signed by the Angel Ga briel thirty-two years after the Savior's birth. Misfortune is sup posed to be visited upon anyone who may have the letter in his possession and who fails to give it all the publicity possible. Lay Under Stone. The letter, legacy has it, lay under a stone for many centuries and on the stone was inscribed these words: “Blessed is he who shall turn me over.” No one both ered the stone until a little girl came along, and through curios ity, turned the stone over, find ing the letter under it. As the sto ry runs the child gave the letter to one who became converted to the Christian faith by reading the letter. This party kept the letter and it was handed down for more than a thousand years, finally being owned by a fatnily who moved to Virginia, whose name was Thompson. It is claim ed the letter was published for the first time in the Dallas, Ga.) Tribune in the year 1889. A wo man who in M.ition, Ind., clipped + ' e letter, and failing to have it published, is said to have been overcome by misfortune. The letter is as follows: “Whosoever works on the Sab bath day shall be cursed. I com mand you to go to church and keep the Lord’s day holy without any manner of work. You shall not idle nor misspend your time in bedecking yourself in super fluities of costly apparel and vain dressing, for I have ordered a day of rest. I will have the day kept holy that your sins be for given you. “You will not break my com mandments, but observe and keep them, they being written by my hand and spoken by my mouth. You shall not only go to church yourself, but also your man-servant and your maid-ser vant. Observe my words and learn my commandments. “You shall finish your work every Saturday at 6 o’clock in the afternoon, which hour the preparation for the Sabbath be gins. I advise you fast five days following the remembrance of the five bloody wounds I receiv ed for you and mankind. “You shall love one another and cause them that ,a're not bap tised to come to the church and receive the Holy Sacrament, that is to say baptism, and then the supper of the Lord, and be made a member thereof, and in so do ing I will give you long life and many blessings. Your land shall be replenished and bring forth in abundance, and I will comfort you in the greatest temptation, and surely he that doeth to the contrary shall be cursed. “I also will send hardness of the hardened and impenitent un believers. He that hath given to the poor shall find it profitable. Remember to keep th Sabbath day, for the seventh day I have taken, as a resting up to myself. “And he that hath a copy of this heart on them and especially on letter written by my hand and spoken by my own mouth and doth not publish it shall not pros per, but he that publisheth it to others shall be blessed by me and if their sins be as many as the stars by night, and if they truly believe, they shall be pardoned, and they that believeth not this writing and my commandments shall have my plagues upon you and you will be consumed with your children, goods and cattle and 2.11 other worldly enjoyments that I have given you. Do but once think of what I have suf fered for you, if you do, it will be well for you in this world and the world to come.
