Subject, "In ^the Clutches of the Tempter.” Temp tation is universal. Where men live for Christ, there is temptation. When I we become a Christian, temptation becomes more stronger. Jesus Him self was tempted by the devil. The devil struck at the weak point, for , Jesus was without food for 40 days ; in the wilderness. He tried Jesus with his appetite, with fame, last with wealth. Jesus fought the devil | with the word of God. The devil is striking at the weak point of man today. He will try man with Ills appetite, with fame, and with wealth. Money is not the root of all evil, but the love of money is the root of all evil. We today look at tlie man with money as being lost. But on that day of the judgment, there will be those who have noth ing in this life which will be lost. Money will not take you to hell, or being poor will not take you to heav en. We must live a Christian life on this side to find a resting place on the other side of the beautiful river. God help us to say in all temp tation as Jesus, “Get thee behind me.” Evening service at 7:30. You are invited to attend all these services at Saints Delight. Go somewhere to church Sunday.

County Agent W. V. Hays has received information from the Priorities Division of the Office of Production Management at Wash ington, D. C„ stating that farmers cannot and must not be expected to produce preference rating certificates when placing normal orders for fin ished goods. In the confusion incident to at tacks upon the United States by the Axis powers, Mr. Hays said that some distributors of consumers' goods have told their customers they could not tell to them unless their orders are accompanied by preference rating certificates. Mr. Hays said it is un derstood that this mistaken idea has been most prevalent among dealers who handle metal products, particu larly in the farm machinery and hand-tool fields. Mr. Hays said that in the case of important civilian items, such as farm machinery and spare parts for privately owned automobiles and trucks, the priorities division has given assistance to manufacturers so that they may continue their produc tion. Goods manufactured as a re sult of this assistance are then made available through the normal trade channels, and retail buyers in gen eral do not need preference rating certificates, and such certificates have not been issued. -® Celebrates Birthday at Party Friday Afternoon Little Miss Frances Hardwick en tertained a number of friends with a party at her home at the Methodist parsonage Wednesday, January 28, celebrating her third birthday.
