REQUESTS GAME-KILL REPORT
I* an announcement this week
Game Protector C. C. Brennecke
urged all hunters in this county to
forward their game-kill reports to
Game Commission at Harrisburg
immediately, thereby saving themselves trouble and embarrassment
or possibly even a  $2.00 penalty).
According to his advice, 98% of
the hunters voluntarily returrjed
their report stubs to the Commission last year, and it is expected to
equal if not exceed, that percentage this year.
He suggested shot all hunter*
check their reports before mailing
them and to be sure to compare
the number on the report with the
number on the license. If they are
aot exactly alike he stated, the
numbejr on the report should toe
corrected to agree with the number
on the license. He pointed out that
the game-kill tabulation is based
entirely on license numbers, aad
unless the report number is identical wtth the number on th* license,
the hunter might not receive credit
for having filed his report
Officer Brenecke said' that "the
law requires that all game-kill reports -be filed at Harrisburg On or
before January 16. By returning
them promptly hunters will not
only be complying with the law but
Will preclude the possibility of subsequent investigation by me or one
of my deputies", he warned. The
hunters in this county hove always
cooperated with me hi the past, and
I sineetrly hope that they will do so
ia this  important matter.

ADDRESS   ON EVANGELISM
Rev. H. G.    Dooley   Spoke    Before
tit* Ministerium
At the meeting of tiia Bellwood
ministerium on last Monday night
Rev. H. G. Dooley presented *
paper by request on the subject of
Evangelism. The paper was well received by the ministers present who
also followed the paper with a most
intresting discussion on tho same
subject. Rev. Dooley said in part:
It would be difficult to consider
a more timely subject in veiw of the
world conditions. Inasmuch as
science .education and politics have
failed to effect a state of righteousness, I believe that ministers are
convinced that our hope lies in
evangelism.
It cost the United States thirteen
billions of dollars annually to cutrb
crime and yet in spending that fabulous* amount crime is on the rampage and is increasing. Surely tbe
evangelist is needed. The Apostle
Paul ws* the foremost evanglist of
bis day and he never aplogized for
hie office, but ever magnified it.
Nothing osa take the place of tiie
Christian ministry whether it be the
progress of civilization or the learning of the' schools, or the triumphs
of the press, they can never supersede the God sent evangelist or minister, for he holds a divine commission and proclaims a divine purpose
and  h*  accomplishes  divine  results.
He stands among' men as God's
mightiest man. His message is not
culture nor philosophy as auch ,but
Christ crucified. The Christ in his
divine personality and spotless humanity. He proclaims the power of
his resurrection and bis prevailing
intercession and the promise of hi*
cciyng again.
The minister ha* no other message
to peach. It waa Paul's message
namely '."Christ Crucified," for men
under the condemnation of sin. All
