SPRUCE PINE
WHIPS EAST
YANCEY
East Yancey Panthers end
ed thei" no-loss record on the
East Yancey field Friday
night, when the Blue Devils
of Spruce Pine thrashed the
local boys in a game that will
be remembered for a long
time to come. The perfect re
cord of the Panthers, with
P ur wins out of four games,
ended with a score of 50-0 in
favor|*f the hard hitting Blue
Devils.
It may be well said that the
local team was “off” Friday
night. Howeve-, that is little
consolation to fans when a
game turns out to be more
like a track meet, with only
r~e school entering.
The local boys did not
threaten to score, while the
visitors ripped open East
Yancey's defense to score
twice in the first qrarter,
twice in the second, once in
the third, and three in the
final period.
The visiting Devils gained
a total 514 yards, while the
local boys made 109. Spruce
Pine completed 9 of 13 pass
es, while East Yancey com
pleted four of 16 attempts.
The Blue Devils of Spruce
Pine have won all games
played this season, and East
Yancev has won all except
the Friday nisht loss.
The fury of the Blue Devils
may have been unleashed be
cause of the memo-y of an
almost similar beating by the
Panthers a few seasons ago.
, MARS HILL
DEFEATS REBELS 9-0
The Cane River Rebels
gave up a heart-b eaking
game to the Mars Hill High
School eleven at Cane River
last Thursday night. The
game ended with a score of
9-0.
The nip tuck game was
p’avert in an almost steady
rain. On the wet field neither
team was able to gain much
headwav on the ground, and
a wet, si c\ ball hampered an
ah Ttt'mk bv either.
Finally, with only minutes
to n'ay, the Mars Hill visitors
made a long run,
was hit hard bv a defending
Rebel which caused a fumble.
Cane River recovered the *
). “In my Fath
louse are many mansions
r ere not so I would have
- you. Igo to p’ are a
place for you and .go and
prepare a. place for you I will
come again and receive you
that where I am there ye may
be also" Also in (Acts 1-10-
11) “And while they looked
steadfastly towa~d heaven as
he went up, behold two men
stood by them in white ap
parel, this same Jesus Which 1
is taken up from you into
heaven shall so come in like
manner. We do not know the
day or hour of his coming,
but the Bible gives us many
signs that we can know when
it is near. In (Math. 24-7) he
said, ’’nation shall rise against
? Both had been startled by
the crashing window pane.
And, upon investigating, they
found a dead Ringneck phea-
nation, Kingdom against
Kingdom. And there shall be
famines and pestilences, and
earthquakes in divers places”
(or everywhere. Ve~se 8, stat
es, “these are the beginning
of sorrows.” So Scriptuajly
speaking, we are now liviiig
in the days of sorrows. (Lk.
21-25) “And there shall be
signs in the Sun, and signs in
the Moon, and the Stars. And
upon the Earth distress of
Nations with perplexity. The
Sea and the’ Waves roaring,
and Mens hearts failing them
for fear, and for looking after
those things which are com
ing on the Earth. For the
powers of Heaven shall be
shaken.” Today there is more
unrest between the Nations
of this Earth from fear of a
Nuclear War than at any
time before. ThLs fear is
bringing heart failure to
many. I personally predict,
these conditions a*e going to
get worse, in the next year or
two. Then in (Luke 17-26-27-
28) Jesus said, “as it were in
the days of Noah, and also in
the days of Lot, so shall it
be also in the day of the com
ing of the Son of Man; In
those days sin, wickedness,
and violence filled the earth,
before the flood. In (2 Tim,
3-1) The AJostle Paul writes,
in the last days perilious
times shall come." (danger
ous times). Friends I want
3 ou to know they are upon us.
In verse fourteen he states,
"Wicked men and Seducens,
shall wax worse and worse,
deceiving and being deceived.”
There are many deceivers out
today, and some of them are
preachers. Now let us notice
some spiritual conditions In
the church just before his
coming: In (Math. 24-12)
Jesus said, “because iniquity
shall abound, (sin) the love
cf many shall wax cold.” We
can say Amen, to this now.
In (2nd Thess. 2-1-2-3) The
Apostle writes, “now we be
seech you brethren by the
ccmlng of our Lord Jesus
Christ, and by our gathering
together unto him, that ye be
not soon shaken in mind or
be troubled, neither by Spirit,
nor by word, no.' by letter. As
that the day of Christ is at
hand. Fu. that day shall not
come, except there come a
falling a vay first, and that
Man of Sin be revealed. “I de
clare unto you there is more
backsliding, in the church to
day, people who are spirit
ual asleep, than I have ever
seen in the twenty years I
have been in the Church. But
God’s word makes it clear
one can not serve two mas
ters. (God and the Devil) for
he will love theo ne and hate
the other, or else he will hold
to the one and despise the'
other; (Math. 6-24). When
Jesus comes it will be for the
pure in heart. The church he
is coming for will be holy,
sant in their living room with
a broken neck.

sinless, and pure. Note to*
(Eph 5-26-26)” as Christ ahX
so loved the Church and gave
sanctify, and cleanse it with
the washing of water, and by
the word. And that He might
present to Himself, a glorious
Church not having spot or
w. inkle, or any such thing.
But that it should be holy,
and without blemish (Sin).
“And this cleansing must take
place here, before his coming
and not after. May I ask you
friend, are you ready? Be
cause of the lateness of the
hour, its time to take a spirit
ual inventory of ones life. Ac
cording to the signs in his
word, brought out in this
message, his coming is very
nea~. What will a few more -
dollars in the bank, worldly
gain, mean just five minutes
after he comes. It will then
be too [ate to make prepara
tion to meet Him If you are
a backslider, make you an
altar somewhere and pray
through again to salvation,
and fellowship with God. If
you are a poor lost sinne-, he
said ‘ Whosoever shall call up
on the name of the Lord,
shall be saved (Acts 2-21).”
