PAGE TWO Demonstratioi < and HigWghts by MRS. FRAN A. CULLIS Home Agtirt USE OF ELECTRICITY At the 4-H club meetings, Nov. 5, Mr. Wellons of the Virginia Electric and Power Company show ed an exhibit of the uses of elec tricity. He had a board with bulbs on it wired up to a fuse box. He put in a fuse and turned on all the switches which overloaded the fuse and blew it out. Then, he tried a larger fuse and it did the same thing. He then put a penny behind the fuse and pulled the switch. This started a fire in the wiring. He proved that too many appliances on one circuit is haz ardous. Charles Fearing, re porter. THINKING ABOUT A NEW CAR? USED CAR? See ARNOLD TOLSON representing Hassell & Crees Motor. Co.

History of Bible Revealed in Film A M Philip explains the book of Itaiah The first section of a historic three-part sound film, “Our Bible —How It Came To Us,” will be shown in Mt. Olivet Methodist Church at Manteo on Sunday, Nov. 16th at 8 p.m. it was announced to day by Rev. L. A. Aitken. “Our Bible—How It Came To Us” traces the history and deve’opment of the Holy Bible from the first century A. D. to the present time. It was produced by the American Bible Society and ranks as one of the most authentic Bible films ever made. The first section of the film takes one back to the very begin- of the Bible. After a brief opening in the modern day, the film flashes back to Nazareth in the time of the first century, and shows Jesus in the synagogue reading from the scroll of Isaiah. The film then unfurls the stoiy of how the Old Testament was formed, and how translations of the Bible into Greek spread through the eastern Mediterranean world and formed the Scriptures of the early Christians. The formation of the New Test ament is dramatically portrayed, first by showing how Paul working as a tentmaker in Corinth, dic tates the first of the Epistles, and how the Gospels came to be writ ten by Luke, Matthew and John. It comes to a close by showing how this collection of writings about Jesus and his teachings was added to the Scriptures of the Jews, making the Bible as it is known today. It. is the hope of the American Bible Society and those who show these pictures that the films shall stimulate more wide-spread read ing of the Word of God. The other two sections in the series are “The Bible Spreads Across Europe” and “The Making of the English Bible.” The dates they will be shown will be announced later. The public is invited to see these in teresting and inspirational films.
