some of our teachers, who are
back in their places. We extend a
welcome to all teachers who do
not go elsewhere and all new
students. All who have no

to attend, are more than wel-

Seventh Day Adventist
Sabbath School 9:45; Bible
study 11:00: As last Sunday was
rainy, our attendance was small.
Sabbath School lesson was "An-
gel Ministery to Jesus." It is in-
teresting to know that angels
ministered to Jesus from before
His birth to ater His death: so
will they minister unto us if we
will allow them to.
An angel announced Jesus'
birth, Luke 2:8-11 : an angel min-
istered to Jesus after His temp-
tation in the wilderness, Matt.:
4-11; an angel strengthened Jesus
in the garden of Gethesmane,
Luke 22:40-44; an angel rolled
back the stone rom the tomb at
His resurrection, Matt. 28:2; an
angel announced Jesus' resurrect-
ion, sayingt to Jesus followers,
"Fear not ye; for 1 know ye seek
Jesus---He is risen." Matt. 28: 5-
6. It is a comfort and a consola-
tion to know that in these times,
we need not to fear if we seek
Jesus. An angel announced as
Jesus was taken up from among
His disciples, to heaven--- t .
same Jesus, which is taken up
from you into heaven, shall so
come in like manner as ye have
seen him go into heaven." Acts 1:
9-11.
We as a denomination, believe
this return of Jesus is very near,
we believe the signs, which were
to tell when this great advent is
near, are most all in the past.
Are you ready for the great ad-
vent? am I? Nxt Sabbath lesson
is "Angel Ministery in the Gos-
pel."
ple came for this service and the
morning message. We then en-
joyed a basket dinner and an af-
ternoon service.
The revival meeting continues
this week and through Wednes-
day of next week. After the
Wednesday evening services next
week, the evangelistic party will
prepare for going to Eugene,
Oregon, where all three of them
will attend the Bible college this
winter. Three more Perkins
young men will go with them to
enter school: Carl Stufflebeam,
Charlie Lee Fulton, and Crom-
well Mansell. Irvin Harris and
Alva Reynolds of the Olivet
neighborhood left last week for
Eugene, so Perkins is going to be
well represented there this next
year.
After tonight there will be
only six more sermons in the
campaign. Great crowds are com-
ing, to hear Reverend Fiscus
preach his powerful sermons. His
topics are timely, subjects that
should command the thought of
everyone today•
Up to Tuesday night there had
been 33 responses to the invita-
tions, about half of which were
by persons wanting to make the
confession.
The song service, led by rs.
Fiscus and accompanied by Miss
Edna Fisk, is always enjoyable,
as are the vocal numbers by Mrs.
Fiscus. Her chalk pictures, too,
are unusually fine, one of which
she draws each Thursday night.
Baptist Church
Our pastor gave us two very
fine sermons last Sunday. The
one Sunday evening on the
"Mark of the Beast" was espec-
ially interesting,. He did not
leave much room for any belief
that the N R A has anything to
do with it.
We voted to dismiss services
next Sunday evening to attend
the revival now in progress at the
Church of Christ, but unexpect-
edly Evangelist Scotty called
that he would be here Sunday
evening to talk over and arrange
for a revival meeting. This revi-
val may be held soon after the
close of the Church of Christ re-
vival.
All thoso who are not planning
to attend church elsewhere Sun-
day evening, are cordially in-
vited to come and hear Scotty,
the evangelist.

Ford V-8 Sets New Mark
In Elgin National Road Race
Detroit, Michigan, Sept. 7-
All previous records for the Fam-
ous Elgin National Road Race
were shattered when a Ford V-8
won the Joseph Weidenhoff Tro-
phy Race for stock cars of A-
merican manufacture in the 203-
mile grind at Elgin, Illinois, last
Saturday. The race was conduct-
ed under the rules of the Contest
Board of the American Automo-
bile Association and was sanc-
tioned by that organization.
The winnin Ford V-8, piloted
by Fred Frame, Indianapolis
Speedway champion last year,
lowered the mark set in 1920, in
the last previons running of the
race, by Ralph DePalma's famous
race driver, in a high-powered
racing, car. Frame's average
speed was 80.22 miles per hour.
DePalma's record was 79.5 miles
per hour. The Ford V-8 nego-
tiated the 203-mile course in two
hours, 32 minutes, 6.1 seconds.
Fifteen cars were entered, in-
cluding Fords, Chevrolets, a Ply-
mouth and a Dodge. Fords took
the first seven places in the e-
vent. The Plymouth finished in
eighth place. The other cars
either were forced out of the race
by mechanical failures or were
flagged when the race was de-
clared finished.

School Notes
Bill Waite was heard sing:ing
"Happy Days Are Gone Again,"
but nevertheless school has be-
gun. All of the classes in high
school have organized and are
ready for the year's work.
There are a number of new
students this year, most of them
having enrolled in the freshman
class. These students are from
Pleasant Valley, Vinco, Good-
night, and Salem districts.
The new books are almost all
here so that study can really be-
gin in earnest.
Football practice has begun
with. Mr. Pickett as coach, and
the pep club is to be organized
soon with Miss Allen as sponsor.
The new school system pro-
vides for a six-hour school day
with only six one-hour periods
instead of eight 45-minute per-
iods. This eliminates some of the
study hall periods. A part of the
hour period is spent in recreation
and the rest in study.

with the information that a jun-

at Stillwater on September 12
and 13. There will be no county
fair this year.

A Ford V 8 entered and piloted
by Frank Brisko, after complet-
ing the morning, race over the
203-mile course for the Weiden-
hoff trophy at an average speed
of 77.98 miles per hour, was the
lone stock car o finish in the af.
ternoon race over the same dis-
tance for the Elgin Watch com-
pany trophy. The other four to I
finish were specially-built racing]
cars. Eight of the 14 entrants in 1
this race were forced out because]
of mechanical trouble before half I
of the distance had been run.]
This Ford thus became the only
car in either the stock car race or
the free-for-all to complete the
course twice on the day of the
races.
