14, in verse 15 He says he’ll scat-
ter them. This has already been
done which also was foretold by
the Saviour. (Matt. 24:7-9 . And
here comes another prophecy that
they are fulfilling now. See
Ezek. 22:16. Actually trying to
take their inheritance by force.
Please read verses 17-22 and see
the outcome.
The'Lord has plainly told the
children of Israel that they never
would be a nation again after they
chose Barabus and set him free
and treated the Son of God so
thought of God having to stick to
His promise? How much does all
the fathers’ promises to his son,
in our days, amount to if he goes
out and commits a premeditated
murder and that openly. Would
he receive the promise? The gal-
lows, electric chair is what he
would get, if not mobbed. God’s
precious promise is still for you
and me, but on condition. Read
Acts 3:36-39. Repent and turn
yourselves from your transgres-
sion so iniquity be not your ruin.
Ezek. 14:6. r. v.

We read and hear a lot about
the Jews and Arabs and Rush.
They are having a lot of dis-
agreements yet and it seems like
they are still a long way from
Peace. As for the Jews—If I
understand the Bible, they will
have a hard time. Speaking of
the Jews the Lord says “can thine
heart endure, or can thine hands
be strong in the days that I shall
deal with thee? If the Lord has
spoken it, and will do it.” Ezk. 22:

PE LEE NEWS
By Mrs. Lou Jensen
TYLER, Tex. Aug. 29 —This is
a rainy and cloudy day and has
been that way for the last three
days ;this is what the folks here
have been wishing for and no
kick coming. But I’m surprised
, some are saying, ‘I wish it would
stop raining!”
I am not sure that the editor
will be able, to read this or not. I
got my big finger in the food chop-
per last Wednesday and busted it
open on both sides of the nail and
split the nail lengthwise and a-
cross, making it very unhandy to
hold the pencil. I was feeding
the grinder with some hard food
and it slipped up and caught my
finger. So much for Tyler news!
“Monday and wash day again
and not time for much news,” so
reads the letter.
Had a wedding at the church
Sunday and Mrs. R. N. Jensen
and her daughter Doris, spent all
forenoon decorating the church.
The wedding took place at 2:30 p.
m. Miss Julia Rosas, a member
of the Spanish company of Sev-
enth Day Adventists at Elgin, and
Mr. Louis Real, Sandoval, were the
happy couple. They will make
their home in Albuquerque, N.
M. Elder Finck performed the
ceremony. The bridesmaid was
a young miss from Edinburg and
the best man was Max Martinez of
Sandoval. Mrs. R. N. Jensen
played the wedding march. The
reception was at the bride’s home
in Elgin. They served a full din-
ner and it was really nice. I sup-
pose it took place at night, being
as the wedding was in the after-
noon.
Mr. and Mrs. R. N. and Vernon
Jensen and Mr. Marvin Jensen and
wife attended So. Jr. Camp (can’t
tell just where) last Sabbath. Mr.
R. N. had loaded 16 great big wa-
termelons, packed them in 1,000
lbs of ice on Friday so they would
be chilled clear through by Satur-
day night and I expect it was real-
ly fun to see the 115 youngsters
eating those watermelons.
Mr. and Mrs. J. A. Wise have
moved to Conroe to start build-
ing their self-serving laundry. Will
have to come back tho and dig
their sweet potatoes that were
not ready when they left, and
wont those taters enjoy this rain
tho? Hope no one plowed out all
of theirs like some did with their
cantaloupes.
Mr. Wilfred Smith is up against
another misfortune. One of the
horses kicked him over and then
kicked a piece of flesh out of his
leg. I guess that horse got what
he deserved hope he learned his
lesson.
Mrs. J. J. Hart and the 2 boys
went off on a vacation last Fri-
day.
I understand that Mr. H. N.
Smith has his car in good running
condition again.
