Forty-Five U. S.
Generals Outrank
George Washington
WASHINGTON—A recent check
up in the Dcfenie Depertment re
vealed that as this li written there
are OWtaiB and d»ad> 45 generals
in the XJidted Statei who outrank
George Washington.
General o( the Armlei John J. Pershing heads the list. General
Pershing received this special rank
after World War 1 and Is the only American ever to hold It. General
of the Armies and General of the
Army, both five-star ranks, did not
exist in Washington’s day.
In many Instances the Army
acted years after an offlcer's de
parture from active duly or after
his death to give him promotion. Ulysses S. Grant. William T. Sher-
roan and Philip Sheridan achieved
four-star rank long alter the ClvU
War.
But the Army promotion boards
never have done anything about
stepping up the rank of the ilrat
commander.Army historians say a Congres
sional Act of 1799, while General
Washington was holding the offtce of commander with the rank of
lieutenant general, undoubtedly
was intended to provide the rank of full general for him. But> the
historians report, no record can be found to show the appointment
was made then or since, for the
man who became first President of
the United States.'As the list standi new. the officer
who immediately eut*ranks Gen
eral Washington In the official list
of high offlcers is Gen. Charles L.
Boltti, promoted last July and
slated to become the new Army
Vice Chief of Staff.
Camera to Prove
Secrets on Mars
LOS ANGELES - Dr. Edison PetUt of Mount Wilson Observa-
tory reports a major 76-year-old
scientific mystery—an apparent
network of canals on Mars—may
be solved next summer.
It the elusive lines are found to
be filled with water, new argu
ments regarding the possible ex
istence of life on the neighbor
plant will be precipitated.A special motion picture cam
era, Dr. Pettit says, has been
prepared to be attached to the
world’s second largest telescope,
the 100-inch lens on Mount Wilson, in hopes of getting the firF'
clear picture of the canals.
From July 8, 1954, for about
weeks, the planet will be only 4'
000,000 miles from the earth, with 5,000,000 miles of the closest n=
proach, and Mars will circle <<
rectly between the earth and su- 'Mars may be 200,000,000 mile
away when it Is on the far side u the sun, and is then too remote to
photograph advantageously.

ever. Billy Sunday did not know,
of course, his audicnces by name.
AU he knew is that they were peo
ple. And being a Bible ChrisUan
be knew that wherever people are,
there God*a Invitation holds good.
All People A rU ost Two things are quite clear from
the New Testament. One is that
all people are lost The other is
that God does not want any one
to stay lost. Jesus spoke of hlm- sell as the Shepherd and of people
as lost sheep. To be ‘lost” docs not mean to be hopelessly ac
cursed. Any one who has ever
seen a lost sheep knows what a
forlwn sight it is, bedraggled, be-
wlUered, not likely ever to get
home unless some one shows it
the way. Lost cats need nobody’s
sympathy; they will find their way
bade all righL But we arc not
lost cats or homing pigeons, we
a n lost sheep. That is a picturc-
way of saying that unless God seta us on the right track and
leads us home, we are all ot us
more likely to go wrong than to
go’ right. A lost sheep has no pride.
Some men have said that pride Is
the root ot all sins. Jesus did not
seem to think so; weakness and
stupidity account for just as many
•Ins as pride.
God Invites AllGod never meant heaven to be
•xclxisive. He never meant us to be
snobbish about our religion. There
aro some mistakes here, com
monly made, which need clearing
up. One is that because God wants
all men to be saved, he is going
to save everybody regardless. Now it ^ we knew ol the New TesU-
meni were this parable ot the
sheep, we might suppose God
would work it that way and bring
all people to his eternal home regardless of how they felt about
It, as a shepherd does with his
sheep or a cowhand with his little dogles. But the rest of'the gospels
show us that God deals with us
as free men. Heaven is not a sack
i into which God dumps everybody
i sooner or later, with their leave
or without it. Heaven has a door,
i and the name of the door is Jesus
> Christ. You can put that in differ
ent ways too. Christ is the only
door to the Christian life. He is
the only door to the kingdom of
God. If we wish to belong to God's
Idngdom we cannot turn away
from Christ, we must come to God through him. But another
mistake is to suppose that God

WUy
Guy
By Ona F. Lathrap
MV FATHER-IN-LAW is a wil; guy. but I never thought he’i
so lo the lengths he did to fix
iliinss for me. Sometimes I think
he .'•ctunlly hates
me. the way he
talks about Ana-
bol having to work
so hnrd and the
kids needing shoes and ‘hmgs. Then again he’s pret
ty d£ceni ‘o me. You never know. So I a'iways try to keep my big
mouth shut and let him think he’s
a big shot. That’s the way it was
last Sunday.
We were cruising along home
from visiting Anabel’s brother and
fomily in the suburbs of Chicago.
C. A. and Grace were in the back scat wrestling with our kids
as usual, with Anabel putting in her lick from the right front.
“Sit down. Hap, and look out
the window for a change.”
•In my day—” C. A. began.
"Now Charles, we all know in
reaUy docs not want to come in
to “the marriage supper” as Jesus
put it once. His Invitation is to
aU, really to all; but he never
forces any one to accept.
• • •
The Church for All A common sight, and a sad
sight too, is a “class church.” It doesn’t make any difference what
class it may be; it may be en
tirely of country people, or en
tirely of city people; it can be
made up of high-brows or the uneducated; it is a class church if
the people in it just don’t want
to have others in it whose cir
cumstances arc different from
theirs. If all men are lost and it ‘
God’s desire is that all shall be
saved, no church should be more
exclusive than G<xl Is. God does not draw color lines or class lines
or money lines. Tlic ideal church,
the one that rellects the facts of Christ’s love and the calling of
God. 's one in which no human being who loves the Lord Jesus
and gives his heart to him. can
feel strange or out of place. Tljcrc is no use saying, ’ We only want
our kind of people” , if Christ lived and died for ali people.. For.that
means all kinds of people! itU<cd nn uutlinrv wr thtDivUInn oi ClirJ.lUii .^«-; K.(<«i ••nuncU «» ihc Cbtirchefc ^ t in th« U. «. A. nflt»«d by CommunHjr

But It was too lete. I pulled
over to the curb, listened to his harangue, admitted everythins I’d
done for the last ten blocks wn" the orange light.
"I pulled over to the e«rb,

"Hap. you cannot tie the cat's

Anabel remonstrated. ’’One more
move and you'll have to Come

C. A. remarked dryly. ‘’Your fa
ther would probably put us all in the ditch at the rate he's

•.’coly circle the eorth like a- tiny
moon while 10 space ships were
sissemblcd and readied for the big trip.
A. total of 950 flights over eight
months* lime would be required to ferry sufficient supplies and fuel -

says the ride through space Vould take 260 days. At the end of their
journey Ihc space ships would

Grandmother Gives
Birth to Quadruplets
SYDNEY, Australla-M rs. Ethel
Hudson. 38. a grandmother, re* ccntly gave birth to quadruplets.
She alrcmly h.*id 9 children.
Mrs. Hudson says she was not
surprised when her doctor deliv*
ercd a 4S-ounce tx>y and a 61-ounce
girl since she expected twins.
Bui she was somewhat flustered v.’hen the third child, a .^8-ounce
girl, was born, and downright flab
bergasted when she gave birth to the fourth child, a .53-ounce
daughter.The multiple birth extended over
aii hours.Like the old lady in the shoe,
the Hudsons had so many children they did not know what to do-~at
least as far as housing them wns
concerned. So they scitled down In two big tents on the outskirts of
town.“I 'suppose I’ll have to buy an
other lent,*’ Hudson commented.
CAN NEVER TELL
The big oil man, in an expan
sive tnood, d ^ded to spend some
of his monev doing good at Chrlst-
'mas time. As he saunteied down
the stMet, he soled three ragced
Toiings^V shepherded them into
a clothing store and ordered new
suits for all of them.
The clerk soon had the two
oldest children fitted, but when
he came to the third and smallest,
that one began to cry. The child’s
wailing upset the benefactor who
was a bachelor.
“What’s the matter with him?”
he demanded of the other two.
“What’s this' bov’s name?”
“Please, sir,” came the quick re.
sixmse, "his name’s Alice.”
THEY RAISED’EM
A five-year-old girl, visiting a
rieighMr, was asked how many
children were in her family.
“Seven,” she answered.
The neighbor observed that so
many childre.i must cost a lot.
“Oh, no,” the child replied, “we
don’t buy them - we raise them.”
SHE WAS THINKATIVE
Mrs. Burt, a “well meaning”
neighbor, kept pestering little Mar
tha about being so quiet, unlike
her own wild and garrulous off
spring.
“You don’t have much to say
for a normal little girl,” she chir
ped. “What’s the matter with
you? Whv aren’t you more talk
ative?.’
Replied the child, “I’m thinka-
tive.”

During a pre-election meeting a

who appeared particularlv inter

her and asked about her voting

•*WelI« she said, "to be frank,
'you are my second choice.”
**And who,” he asked. '*is your

**Oh,” she replied, **just any*

I can recall no divorce case, nor
any major crime taking place in
Mocksville. (Must have been a
pretty good town.) A Mr. Green,
from near Cana, was the court
caller. He was a very large man,
and had a voice like a fog horn.
He would put his head out the
upstairs window and holler, “Oh
yes, oh ves. so and so come into
court as you are bound,” and he
could be heard all over town.
Court week was also “horse trad
ing” week, and the trading lot wasi
always full, and something goingj
on all the time. The traders and
horses came in from Statesville,
Salisburv, and other places. It
was also the week of barbecue,
when Reuben Gaither would put
up his “open air” stand.
The Sunny Side school (Miss
Mattie Eaton and Miss Laura Cle*
ment) Commencement, was also
a big event in Mocksvllle for many
years. This was held In May each
year at the Baptist Arbor, in North
Mocksvillc. The teachers and
children would spend a week there
preceeding the commencement,
practicing the plays to be held
and decorating for the occasion.
The final exercises were held at
night. Ir was a great week, and
a great finale. Sunny Side also
had a Music Department, and I
remember a Miss Chamberland
and Miss Julia Farrier as the two
first teachers. Miss Farrier was a
beautiful and lovable girl, and was
wooed and won bv one of Mocks-
ville's most prominent young men,
Mr. Frank Sanford. Her untime
ly death a few yean later cast a
gloom over th . whole town.
Mocksville*s first newspaper was
the old Davie Times, founded by
Will Mooring and John Blount.
This paper had many editors, a-
mong them being John Blount.
Will X. Coley. Rev. I. M. Dow-
num, Wm. K. Clement and T. R.
Walsh. The Davie Times folded
up under the ownership of Mr.
.Walsh, and the press and outfit
was sold to the Cooleemee Journ
al, owned by ). C. ScU.
My earliest recollection of the
Davie Times was when Mr. Blount
was the editor. He was also may*
or of the town, and a great poli
tician, I remember one morning
Mr. Blount came down town with
three green persimmons in his
coat lapel. This was a token for
F. M. Simmons (and I believe this
was the first time Senator Sim
mons ever ran for office, and he
was defeated by a Negro.) How
some of these Editors, that were
not printers,’ever made a living I
will never know, for they printed
onlv two pages of the four'paue
papers, and had practically no ad
vertising. However, I can lemem*
ber that some of them did not
pay their help, and bought their
liquor cheap.
The first talking machine, (re
cord player to you), I ever saw,
was on display in Sanford's store. This was a box-like outfit, with a
winding spring, and it had little
rubber tubes with gadgets to
in your ears, and was barely au . . ble at that. A little later Tom
, Byerly, cashier of the Bank of Da
vie, had a phonograph with a large funnel-shaped horn, which he
would place oh a big rock out in
front of the bank in the evenings,
and the crowd would gather a-
round to hear some of the jazz
tunes of that day. “Goo*goo Eyes'
was a favorite.

I^IN G EYOKAKOLI of Lukolaia
^ in Africa changed his name
every day for twenty.four yeara.
He thought OUs would keep the
angel of death from finding him.
But death knew his nama.—knew
bis last name, which was all that
mattered. Death knows every <me’s name, and will call it The one
prediction that is
certain to come
true, and the only
one. is this; Vo«

death. It is only an illusion to think
you can ride away from deaith.
You are always coming nearer. You will face It, no question of
that. The <iuestion Is, How will you
face it?
With Frankness
The ChrisUin looks lor Ms an

and ot himself. We call him.

be said. But the blaze of light in
which bis spirit moved did not
blind him to the dark fact of
deattl. He laced death, first of all
with frankness. He. did not try to
avoid mentioning it. He said to
his friends quite simply, "Lazarus
is dead.*' It would be tunny, it It
were not so palhctic, to see how
many ways* people' find ol avoid
ing saying “He is dead." He is
deceased, or demised, or passed
away, or gone on,—anything but dead. At funerals the corpse is
rigged up to look' as lifelike as
passible. At the grave everything is done to keep it from looking
like a grave. Death is a subject
dodged in polite conversation. But why not face it? Jesus certainly
believed in immortaUty, more
armiy than we do indeed; but still
he wss frank about death.
'*^iesi5 ’"tea«'w ere shed on only
one recorded occasion, when Lazarus died. Could he have been
weephig tor Lazarus? That is
hardly possible. II he believed hall what we believe about immor-
tallty. he could not have wept for
a man who had gone beyond these shadows to th. light of God's
presence. Or if he did not b e ll^ ;

Just for a moment that ll^
not), then why should he.'^

accounts for Jesus' Uars on day Is to SM them as tears of
sympathy. Tha hearts ol Mary and
Martha w et. tom. and his own
was tom in sympathy. Perhaps It
was not altogether because they were for a time lonely and -berell.
Jesus could see something b ^
neath their loneUness,-he could
see that they did not understand
death itself. To their minds Laza-
nis had as good as ceased to exist
He would be "raised up" at some
future day; but on that day. four
days after his death what had become of him? AU Uiey could sec
was the black shadow into which
their brottier had disappeared. It
was for their hopelessness, their
misunderstanding, as much as tor
their sorrow, that Jesus wept.
Witii Foith
I>eople who have had Uttle ex
perience in such things sometimes
wonder what to ssy when they
visit a house ol sorrow. II only
we could brtag back the dead to
lile, a s Jesus did! II only we could break Into movhig poetry such as
might have come Irom a Tennyson
or a Dantel If only we could say some , magic thing that would du-
solve death In ashes and make Ule
bloom againi Instead we are shy and blunderhig and we are alraid
we say the wrong thing in spit,
ot ourselves. Two things need to
b . remembered at such Umes.
One is that what we say Is (ar
less hnportant than our attttude. 11 w . ours.lv.s have an attitude
ol fear, ol doubt, ol hopelessness,
anyttiing hopeltti we say is beUed
by our evident despair. But 11 h>
ourselves there Is a strong faith,

The othir thing l« reeaU that

Jesus we think ol U fe-so all his friends have felt. How can v«e

Livestock Need
Care in Winter
!' It's Not Too Late
To Take Precautions
Winter calls (or good car*
livestock, and winter will b« witb
us for a while yet County agents
are handing out tips and sugges
tions regarding utilization of time
during the possible bad months re- maining. Here they are:
Animal RuabaD dry
1. Utilize such crops as small
grains, rye grass and crimson
clover, fescue and Ladino clover,
or other winter forages for beaf
cattlc, sheep, and hogs. 2. Where
grazing is not sufficient, see that
Ihe beef-brccding herd has enough
cheap roughages and grain and
cottonseed meal to prevent Joss of weight. 3. Buy steers to graze win*
ler forage crops. 4. Do not sell
Acccss to an atnpie. clean
supply of water Is important to the M'cll'belne of cattle during
Ihe winter months.
cheap pig.<!. Feed them out for
next spring maricel. 5. Give sheep
one-half pound of grain daily and
all iho legume hay they will oat.
6. See that all classes of livestock
have shelter and bedding and pro*
vide extra bedding during cold snaps. 7. Repair fences during
spare time. 8. Kill hogs for home
use when weather conditions are suitable.
Dairying
1. Feed good quality roughages,
such as grating, silage, and le
gume hay. to the limit of milking cow's appetite. 2. Peed grain in
proportion to milk produced by each cow. 3. Do a good job of
milking—fast, complete, and at
regular intervals. 4. Give dairy
cattle acce.ss lo pure. fre.sh drink
ing water. 5. Observe calves for
lice and internal parasilcs. 6. Pro
duce quality dairy product.<;. 7.
Keep rest barns well bedded for a big supply of manure.
Poultry
1. Make the poultry house free
from drafts. 2. Examine the lay
ing flock for lice and miles, as an
infestation of either will lower egg
production. 3. Use lights for more fall and winter eggs. i. Feed grain
liberally, along with laying mash, to keep layers in good flesh. 5. Pro
vide a green grazing crop. 6. Get
brooding equipment in order.
Turkeys
1. Book order for poults. 2. Make repairs to brooder houses, brood
er stoves, and water system. 3. Plow or disk old turkey ranges to
check leaching out of droppings. 4. Buy any needed equipment for
next year's operation. 5. There is
still Ume to sow rye grass for grazing tor early pouJis.
Business DeclineMany agricultural economists
believe that general business in
the year ahead is expected lo decline moderately from recent high
levels. They are not predicting a depression or a great slump, mere*
ly a slight dccline.
LANTERN HANOER
Norway Revives
Old Tradition of r
Ship Figurelieads
WASHINGTON - A Norwegian shl)>i>hig Utios has revived one of
the sea‘« oldest trnditions—placing
tigurvheadi! on Its nuHli'rn motor- ships.
In the gv>ldeu days of sail, a vessel rarely Wfnt Into service be
fore the shU’ earvevs had Intlled
her pauued wcoden ftKurehoad to the ternj. Vlkiiij; ships bore (ifiiire-
heads of hawks. dv«):onH and other animals.
There have been a uuixibor of
famous figureheads in American history. The best known probably
Is “Tecuraseh.” the Naval Acad
emy's ‘ God ol 3.5.” to which u»id-
shipmen jocularly pray for passing
grades. Actually. Tecw»seh is a ‘
bronze replica of Tanianend. a
Delaware I n d ia n figurehead
carried by the U. S. S. Delaware. The Delaware burned at Norfolk
during the Civil War.
A bust of General Armstrong, from the American warship of
that nantc. rested for many years at Fayal in the Azore.<!. whor<> the
Armstrong was sunk during Ihe
War of 1812. Still bearing the marks of shot, the bust today Is
at the U. S. Naval Academy.
An English museum has the like
ness of Abraham Lincoln from
some long-dead Yankee ship. And
In a New Zealand garden is the statue of an Indian cbiof, belicv'ed
to be the figurehead from the
American square - rigger King Philip, wrecked “dovk-n under.’*
In modern times the plumb
bows of steamships held no place for figureheads. In the Norwegian
revival, they are cast in m etal- less incongruous than wood on a
steel hull.
Gunsmith o Success
Despite Handicap
ROCHESTER. Pa. — In 1927 a
slim» 17-year-old boy by the name
of Lowry Smith was crushed against his father’s barn by a
team of horses. His back was
broken.Despite his handicap, today At
43 he is a nationally-known gun
smith and in 1952 sold rifles and pistols for $200,000.
Smith Is a quick-smiling, cheer
ful fellow who has kept his nimble, skilled Angers busy for sixteen
hours a day for the past 16 years.
After his accident. Smith spent eight months in a cast. Re ,de«
elded he would build a business
out of his hobby ol fixing guns. He repaired, remade and traded
them at home. In 1934 he opened a
small shop. Business began to
trickle in. tIn 1952 he sold 10,000 guns ot
all kinds to customers in almost
every state and in Canada. He says the "true hunter's desire lor
personal guns" has made his suc>
cess possible.He keeps a stock of 3,000 guns.
Although his gunsmlthlng keeps him busy, he likes to raise sheep
and farm for recreation.
M eat SuppliesThe Department of Agriculture predicts that next year will be
another year of large supplies of
meat, with proportion of beet
again high and the proportion of
pork low. The cattle marketed
will be of lighter weights.
Landbound Shrimp
Puzzles Fishermen
WASHINGTON — The d e s e r t shrimp is one of the great aquatic
oddities in this world. It breathes through Its feet, swims upside
down, and lives a mere 40 days
alter a two-year hatching period.
The Apus lives and breeds in stagnant pools which evaporate in
summer months and refill in the rainy seasons. Often shrimp eggs
will remain dormant lor years, awaiting suitable conditions lor
hatching. Eggs deposited in evap. orated ponds arc sometimes car
ried by the wind or on the legs
of birds to other waterholes hun*
dreds ol mites distant.
Apus was discovered in an Eng-
lish lake in 1850. It did not appear again in the British Isles until
1907, when it turned up in a Scot
tish millpond. Recently It appeared in a ralnwnter pond near Pan
handle, Texas. «

DANBUKY, Conn.-Mrs. Abiuail
Lee, 80, was rucvnlly saved from a Are in Danbury. Later she asked
the city to reimburse her lor treat
ment of rib fraclures she alleged

She asked payment of a $2,343

was well with Officer Quin-
Ian’s world. What if Captain
Kelly had upbraided him for being
too kind—for not giving out enough
tichcts? ’That was over now and the sun was shining again at the
inter.<:ection over which OfUcer
Quinlan pi'esided. He knew in his
heart that he was doing a good
job. Captain Kelly must have
thought so too->otherwlse he’d
have been transferred long ago.
Omcfr-r Quinlan’s attention fo
cused on a skinny littV chap whose
face was all but
touching the win
dow of John’s Novelty Shop. He
judged the boy to
be nimut ten. He
was neatly dressed, although his
long bSack hair shot out in every
direction. “He’d do better If he
stood out in front ot a barber sHt^p” thought Ofncer Quinlan.
Quinlan turned his gaze away
for a moment, studying the half* busy street with genuine interest.
Hi.<> eyes came to rest on an
old car sitting peaeeftiUy be*
side the curb, nudging a parking
meter that had turned a b ri^ t
red. He walked over. Somettmei
folks put an extra coin in the meter
without turning tbe handle. He
turned, nothing happened. Look*
ing cautiously up and down the
street, he slipped a coin from hli pocket.
The Doy remained glued to his
spot in front of the store window^
”No thanks/
nan. proudly. money.”
all manner of |ful toys lay before him. Officer
Quinlan watched the Uttle cbsp with sympathetic eyes; finally with
a sigh he reached deep down into his coat pocket at' * • rought up a
handful of chan metimes it
was mighty incon - -nt having a
big heart—it kepi a man poor,
that's what it did. Rut before
Officer Quinlan could mnke a move
In the direction of John’s Novelty
Shop old Dick Noonan shuiTlecI
around the. corner.
Offic'jr Quinlan had always re
spected Dick Noonan in spile of
what some of the town busyhf'dies
were suyiTig about the old chap.
What if he did take a «)a;;s o'
beer orce in awhile—or even at
shorter intervals? He minded his
own business and had « perfect
right to spend his pension check
as he saw fit. He liked Noonan even more when he saw the old
man hand a dollar bill to the wi'^e-
eyed boy in front ol the novelty shop. Without waiting for thanks
Noonan shufTled off in the direction
of Jerry's Place.
“Aye, and look at the blp-hearied
paupei'” said Quinlan as Dick
came within hearing distant*?
“Pact Is, you just beat me to
U. I was about to give the lad a
few coppers myself when you
showed up. How about a glass of beer on me?”
**No thanks,” said Dick Noonan
proudly. “I’ve still got money.”
Then- the old man. turning his
back on Officer Quinlan, started
up the steps to Jerry's P?M;e. Oiuinlan, stuffing the spurned dolla.r
back intc his wallet, saw old Dick
falter at the top step. He could lell
by Norvian’s gestures that the old
man’s pockets were empty. Ofncer
^ n la n made a quick movement
with his right hand. Then he said:
••Ye’d better be savin? your
money for glasses. Dick. II ye’d
been any closer to that dollar it
would have nipped yer foot.”
And Dlek Noonan stared In (>en-
ulne surprise at the dollar bill that lay at his feet. Then lor a fteel-
Ing moment he looked 8uspici<iu<i''
•t Officet Quinlan’s stony lace. Re
assured. he picked up the bill and
opened the door of Jerry’s place.
“Do >ou always throw your
money around like that?” Officer Quinlan turned to look into d e
tain Kelly’s steely eyes. He was.
sure no one had seen him toss the
doUar on the stalrs-but Kelly
had: it would be Kelly! Then Captain KeUy held out bis big
hand as a smile crossed his usual
ly stern lace: “You're a good cop
. ^ in la n —a good cop. Wish we had
more like you.”
And as Captain KeUy walked
away i big smile broke out on
Officet Quinlan's lace. He siror^e
proudly to Ihe middle of the street
to direct the thickening traffic. The
sun was shining again; ail was well
with the'world. «

hack Into the old tatam ent his

phets and assistants held the
priesthood to oiBclate in the or
dinances of the gospel. We find
that Moses held the higher priest
hood. and complained to tbe Lord
that be was slow of speech, so the
Lord Instructed Moses to take bis
brother Aaron as bis spokesman;
so Aaron and bis sOns held the
lower priesthood and acted In th#
temporal ordinances of the law of
Moses. This priesthood was re-

AtSnuff Comeback
N£W YORK—Snuff Is making a comeback and the sniffers are. glv*
ing way to the chewers.
Snuff manufacturers, who don’t care whether customers chew it.
Southern style, or sniff It in the fashion of royalty way back to the
18th century, say business pros
pects are brighter than they have boon for some time.
Dandy sniffers brought the snuff liabit to the early European courts
where courtiers, powdered and be-
wiQged. sniffed a pinch daintily be*; tween thumb and finger and
trapped their sneezes in lace hand-
Icerchicfs. Snuff has now moved
10 the ••country" where rural p«^
pie chew (suck or dip. as you choose) millions ot pounds per
year, to the delight of country
stores and stockholders of major snuff companies.
Snuff sniffers in the United States are found mostly in the South and
among the Mcnnonites and Quakers of New' Jersey, Pennsylvania
and New York. Texans, who do
everything in a big way. use about !t.0.H),000 ))Ounds a year and most
cl ti)is is in East Texas. It's chew*
ing tobacco in the West where cow
boys prefer moistor chewing be
cause of dust storms.The aniount of snufX consumed in
Texns alone is three times as much as is manufactured In Canada,
where about a million pounds per
year is turned out. Canadians, however. use two types. One is dry, for
sniffing, the other damp, for either sniffing or chewing.
Authorities agree that the snuff
trade picked up customers during World War II, when smoking was
prohibited in factories and build
ings. In Canada, principal users
are wheat field w'orkers. who are
not allowed to smoke in the dry
fields.

TIIE HAGUE—If you lived on
the Islands in the English Channel called Les Gerehouse or Les Min-

your political sympathies.The reason — "nie International
Court ot Justice has settled a J.OOO-
year-old dispute, over the owner*
ship of the tiny little Islands which
are little more than a speck on the
map of the world and cover a total
area of about 90 square miles. The
dispute, between Britain and
France, was sculed in favor of. the
English.
Three judges of the fifteen mem<
ber court were nol present for the voting, but all 12 on hand voted in
fnvor of Britain. The judges of
India and Yugoslavia wore absent becaiise of illness and Russia's seal
on the court is vacant.

Lowly Nickel to Buy
Industry for Towns >
MAilCH CHUNK. Pa.-The twin
boroughs of Mauch Chunk and East Mauch Chunk are out to
attract new industries and they plan to do it with the lowly nickel.
They are attempting to raise
money for factory sites, but In
stead of concentrating on big con-
tributions of cash the people are
satisfied with giving a nickel a
week for five years.With the population of 6.nOD, the
nickels would multiply to $300 a week, $15,600 a year and $78,000 hi
live years.Joseph Boyle, editor of The
Mauch Chunk Times-New.s. an«! fa*
ther of the Idea, says, * With $78, ;

the race for State Senate, Repre

you will have to hie your name
with Aubrey Merrell, chairman of

that several men will file for office

filled in the May 29th primary will
be the Senator. Representative,

Social Security
culatlv to dioie of you who at«
•clf-cmploycd and who will be re
porting rout net earning* from
**lf«mploTfnent to the Internal
Rcraiiic Scrvice.
There are a number of thing* to
■ nakcaraof In filing the*e re
port*. There it the item of being
certain that vout Social Security
Account Nnurober i* down on
SchcduleC of your income tax re
turn. fb* with the number the Acr
eaantLig Department of the So.
dal Security otganltation will not
be able to Rive credit to your ac
count.
Al*u, it I* highly necessary that
you show. In deM . the nature of
yout buslne**. Fer instance, sup
pose, you have net earning* from
both a *tore and a farm. The
earnings from the£inn are exclu f-
ed by law from coverage for Social
Security purposes. Therefore,
they should not be leported with
the earning* from the store of
Schedule C of vour income-tax n -
turn.
But one of the most important
thinn to remember is that vou
show on Schedule C a breakdown
of vour business expenses. The
term “Net Earnings From Self-
Employment, means just that. In
other words, it means your gross
income from yout trade or busi
ness, le** the co*t of doing-burf-
nes*.
Thus, vou can *ee the import
ance of showing tliose expenses,
so broken down that they may be
dUyfccognlzed. If vour "Sche
dule C” shows little or no busi.
ness expense, it would naturally
raise » question as to whether all
the earnings shown ate in reality
“net earnings.”
Therefore. let me impress on
vou the importance of showing
on your return your business ex
penses. And break them down so
dierewill be uo question about
them.

In a pious wish, or a short prayer,
like a dime, in the morning and then expect the rest of the day to
pour out all the virtues without
your having to do another thing.
Important conditions have to be
met.* • •
"It It Dies"Many Ifa of the Bible can well be
expressed in the words “Only
when . . Three times Jesus used
that fateful word in the hours when
he was face to face with his des
tiny. when be was facing the Cross.
These Ifs had to do with himself,
they also had to do with his
friends. Not .only his friends there
and then, but now and here,—in
short, with every Christian. One of these Ifs is in his saying about the
grain of wheat. Save the grain, cover it with protective varnish,
keep it in « tin box, put It In a
bank vault,—you may save the grain but you will destroy iU life,
there will be no other grains. Put
the grain of wheat in the ground
where it can rot. and in a few
weeks that grain will be gone, it
will have died; but where it died
there will be a green blade grow*
ing, a blade that one day will be
a wheat sU9e bearing many
grains. If — only when — there It
death can there be life. Jesus
meant that for himself; if he had refused the cross he would not
have been the "Prince of Ufto” and
Saviour. He meant It for us; those
persons who mean most in the
lives of others, those vital person*
alities who by a kltu) of bright con*
tagion bring vitality wherever they go,~those are the very per
sons who are least careful for their own selves. Wherever people
are scrambling every man for him
self, there you have strife and de-
stnictloa.• • •
"If Any On< Strvti Me—"Another It is in the saying. “If
any one serves me, he must follow
me.” Jesus did not mean follow at a long and respecthil distance.
He meant to cUmb where he
climbed, dare what he dared.
Jesus had put thla in even strong
er words some time before. His follower, he said, must take his
own cross every day and follow
Him. Christians are rather too fond of looking at the cross, and
letting their Christianity go at that.
But the Christian life is not like looking at a show, not even at a
tragedy. We see the cross in every
Christian church somewhere, perhaps even the building is in the
shape ot a cross. But what Jesus
asked for In his followers was not
a cross before their eyes but a
cross In (heir lives. To put it quite
simply: Christian life, when it is real, is a life of sacrifice for
others. It is a life in which self
comes last, not first. A doctor said
to his patient; “I think most peo
ple are Christians, don't you?”
That depends on what you mean by Christian! If you mean by that,
some one who admires Jesus, yes,
most people are Christians. But if you mean what Jesus meant, one
who actually foUowa Jesus, how
many Christians are Christian?
"in B* Lifted Up"Itie third If is in the saying “If
I be lifted up I will draw all men unto me.*‘ We may suppose a hard-
boiled practical man of today, or
of Jesus* day,—possibly Judas was
auch a person—asking Jesus, Just
why do you go on with this idea of
the cross? Why let youraelf in for
. trouble? What do you get out of it?
it we let Jesus speak for himself,
we know that he no more went to the cross to “get something out of
It** for himself than he did any-
tlilnf else for selfish reasons. He
did not live, be did not die, for bis own benefit. His life and his
(death were all of one piece; his
teath waa but the final outpouring of a life that had been pouring
Itaetf out into others and fbr others,
from the beginning. He did not fo through Gethsemane and Cal
vary in order to be praised, or to
acquire merit. oi‘ to win a place
among the worM’ • heroes. He»went
to the cross, af had Uved every
day. to “drav i men*’ to him-
aalf.

Remember Summer
And Fall Drought?
Now Is Good Time to
Study Irrigation
Today's farmer, who invests in
seed, labor, machinery, fertilizer
and other essential farm supplies, finds that these supplies are ot
little value without an adequate
water supply. By this token, the
apparent high cost ot irrigation can
become relatively small, and may be an investment well worth con-
slderatiw).While all crops are likely to
suffer from too little water next
summer, pastures, as usual, will be particularly affected about mid
summer. which actually should be the time of maximum ?roduetlon
and the Ume cattie should have an
adequate supply of green forage.A pasture irrigation program itii*

saw two yonog bovs get two young
girls drunk and then took them
reeling down a dark alley. Here
is the way Mr. Klpllog described
this last scene;
The other sight of the evening
was a horror. The little tragedy
played itself out at an neighboring
table where two very young wo.
men were sitting. It did not strike
me 'til far Into the evening that
the pimply young reprobates were
making the young girls drunk.
They gave them red wine and then
white, aud the voices rose fligbtly
with the maiden's cheek flushes. I
watched, and the youth drank uo<
til their speech thickened and their
eveballs grew wa tery. It was sick
ening to see, because I knew what
was going to heppen.

of the performance the quieter

the narrow-mindedness of the tna-

I understand now why preach-
era rage against drink. I have
said. “There Is no hirm In It, tak.
en I oderatelv-” and yet my own
demand for beer helped directly to
send those two girls reeling down
the dark street — to God alone

that we shontd let liquor He before

Lowly Porcupine
is Controversial
Figure Many Ways
WASHINGTON—The lowly por
cupine is not aware of the d l^ r- cnce of opinion about liim in tlte
neighboring states of New Hampshire and Vermont If he knows,
there is no indication that he cares.
Recently, Kew HampsbiiK increased a bounty on porcupines
trum 25 to SO cents. Adjoining Ver
mont removed a SO-cent bounty en
tirely. Foes of the porcupine in
New Hampshire contend that the
aiiimai‘8 taste lor the life-giving
inner bark of trees makes him
quite a pest. In gnawing, the porcupine works around the tree. If
he does not kiii the tree, he leaves
woiinds by which destructive tree blii-'his enter. Out West, where por

THE LAST STRAW
An old fellow from the hills
was up for trial,. The charge was
murder.
“Why did vou do it?" asked
the judge.
■ "Well, mv rheumatism was pes-
tering the life out of me.” he
plained, “and then my bam burn-

**I was sitting on the porch tell

wanting only to be left alone. While lie holds malice for none, he backs
up an unsociable attitude with 30.- need}e-sha>*p quills.

The porcupine has a passion for
salt. Campers have been known to chase the animals away from
camp sites repeatedly, only to
have them return again and again. This has earned the animal the
reputation of stupidity, although
observers believe that poor eyesight is a factor.

This / Remember
Bv R. S. Meroney, Asheville, N. C.
(Continued From Last Wee k)
Mocksville and Davie County
were alwavs rather hot politically,
especially during a State or Nat*
ional election. Maybe this was
because Mocksville was generally
Democratic and the balance of the
county Republican. The hottest
campaign I can remember was the
year that I believe Aycock ran for
Governor. Anyway, the campaign
was based on the “White Suprem
acy” issue. We had little red
buttons with the words "White
Supremacy” on them, and if you
didn’t wear one of these buttons
vou were a Black Republican.
Manv Republicans were won over
on the White Supremacy issue.
The candidates promised that if
elected they would pass some laws
that would stop the Negroes from
voting. *riiis was one campaign
pledge that was carried out, and
how!
Speakings and big barbecues
Wire held all over the county,
and I recall the one held at the
Center arbor most vividly., For
this occasion a Texas lawyer was a
feature sneaker. This Texas law
yer was a native son of Mocksville,
being a Mr. Call, brother to Mit
and Jim Call, and son of Henry
a lovelv home you have,” he gush
ed. *'And pray tell me what is in
that beautiful vase on the mantle?”
**My husband*8 ashes”* said the
young wife.
**Oh, Vm so sorry; How long
has he been dead?”
t*He's not,- Just too lazy to find
ah-ash-tray.”
DO IT AGAIN
The golfer stepped up to the
tee and drove off. The ball sail
ed straight down the fairway,
leaped onto the green, and rolled
into the hole.. The golfer threw
his club into the air with exci ce
ment.
;**What have vou suddenly gone
crazy about?” asked his wife, who
was: trying to leam something
boutlhegam e.
**Why, I just did a hole in one!”
yelled the golfer, a wild gleam of
deligHt in his eyes.
"Did'you?” asked his wife plac
idly; **Do it again, dear, 1 didn’t
sw you.”
A WHOPPER
you should have seen the fish
made a gre'<it record as a criminal
lawyer. Lawyer Call sure laid it
on the Republicans and the Ne
groes that day, with no holds
barred, and his speech created
much ^vorable comment.
The “White Supremacy” ticket
won, and they proceeded to pass
the promised laws. A new regis
tration was ordered, and laws pas
sed laving down certain education
al tests as a qualification for regis
tration. This law said that to
qualify one had to b^ able to read,
write and exp'ain the Constitu«
tion of the United States correct
Iv, and that the precinct registrar
should Rive the test, and be the
sole judge. That alone would
have most certainly barred a big
percent of the white voters as well
as about all the Negroes; so to
protect the whites, a **Grandfather
Clause” was included. This Grand
father Clause provided that if ones
saandfather was a registered voter
he would not have to take the
test. Naturally, all the white men
bad voting ^:randfarhers, but the
crandfathers of the Negroes being
slaves, did not vote. The Grand

A MAN who eould k tp aU th«
T«n Comm»ndm«nto without
ever broAklns • alnglt on* would
be a good man. bttter than moat.
But from the Christian standpoint
that kind ot goodness is not
enough. A man can keep all the
rules of the game and be a poor
player. He can observe aU the
laws of his state
and not be a desir*
able citizen. Some*
thing more, some* thing more posi«
tlve. is needed,
valuable though
the Ten Command*
ments are. At the Last Supper Jesus
gave his friends
there, and through ^______ftem he g.ve aU B ' F otem ..
his friends since, an eleventh com.
mandment which Christians un*
derstand to be more important
than all the others. In ^ ct. w«
have New Testament authority
for believing not only that if a
man kept all the others and
broke the Eleventh, he would be
a moral zero; but also that If he really keeps the Eleventh. It wiJJ
lead to his keeping all the rest.
It Is what Christ called the “New
Commandment”—of Love.
Whot’s New About Love?
Was Jesus exaggerating when he
spoke of love as a "new” com*
mandment? Had love never been
heard of before? Is it not found
in those two ancient Laws Christ
himself had quoted from Deut.
«:5 and Leviticus 19:18—Love God.
and Love your neighbor? Well,
love itself was not then new In
the world. But love to the de
gree that Jesus meant, was In* deed new. The careful reader will
notice that Jesus does not stop
with "Love one another.” He goes
on to add. “—as I have loved you.”
Granted that even sacrificial love
had been seen in the world before,
the fact is that for these disciples
in the Upper Room, and for most
of us if the truth be known, the
kind of self'giving love which
Christ had and was is in truth
something new. Wc are all willing
to love those that love us. We will
love those who understand .-^nd ap* predate us. We are willlnR enough
to love if we feel we are Retting
some return, so to spenk. on our
investment. But which of us in
Jesus’ place would have loved
others as he did? Those disciples
were not at first what you would call lovable people. Sinners are
not lovable as a rule, and Jesus
came to help sinners. The thing
that always bothered the Pharisees was that Jesus evidently
loved people who did not deserve
to be loved. No Pharisee ever un*
derstood this. It was something
new In their world.
Lovt Is Notoeiutprint Christians sometimes become
too enthusiastic about this New
Commandment. They speak of it
as it it did away with the Ten
Commandments, or as if it got rid
of any need for thinking. It your
intentions are good, that’s good
enough, they say. So they go
through life with what they vague
ly suppose are good Intentions but actually doing a lot o f' harm.
Jesus never meant this New Com*
mandment as a sort of magic
charm that wouid solve all our problems, get rid of all our dlffi*
cultles. conquer all our tempta*
tions. Love is not a blueprint,
either. You cannot take ’'love and
love alone" and govern a city or
found a college or run A business
or a farm, just on pure love. It is something like the law of gravita
tion. You can't build so much as a
pigsty without paying good atten
tion to the law of gravitation. But
that law does not tell you how to
build the sty, nor a house, nor a
skyscraper, though all of them
are held to«ether with gravita
tion's mighty power. So with all
human institutions, the church, the state, the school, and so on: with
out the spirit of self*sacriflce (the
New Commandment) they will not
stand; yet self-saerlflce is no blue
print by itself. There is no substi
tute for bard thinking and planning.
Lovt Is Ceiic«ra If teU'saeriflee sounds too lofty,
let us come down the scale a
Jtttle. New-Oommandment love, to
say the least of it, means concern
lor others. We all knew what it
is to be concerned about ourselves.
We take good care of ourselves,
we look for our interests, we worry
for /ear we may be left by the
wayside somehow. W t like to see
that we ourselves get the most out
of anything. All persons except
complete fools are concerned natu
rally about themselves. Now. the
New Commandment simply says
to turn Ibis concern in the other
direction. Be as interested in the
other person’s welfare as you are
in your own.
American Farmers >
Might Someday /
Supply Our Cork
WASHINGTON—American farm*
ers may one day break the Medi
terranean monopoly on coiki Some
are now growing cork trees and in
years to come could furnish the
cork for bottle stoppers, motor gas* kets and life Jackets, among other
uses. Portugal, Spain and North
Africa now practically supply the
world.
No synthetic substitute for n»t*
ural cork has yet been found. Tiny air cells, as many as 750,000,000 In
an ordinary bottle cork, may be the
reason. Cork Is resilient, compressible, light, almost impervious to
gases and liquids and so frictional
that clutch discs are made of it.
Half the world supply is used In
making linoleum.
Some time ago. a Baltimore
manufacturer of cork products set
out to be a modern*day Johnny
Applaseed. Finding that the coilc
oak would grow in some 23 south*
em states from the eastern sea«
board to the Pacific, this concern distributed thousands of free seed*
lings and acorns.
It outlined a scientific pro* gram of progressive plantings that
was enthusiastically endorsed by
the Department of Agriculture and many state governments. Freon
19S9 until the preaott. mlUlona of
cork oaks have been planted In this country, largely on poor land
that would grow little else of vtf ua.
Soma cork is actual^ being pro*
duced, but this comes from old
trees planted In CaUtorala and elsewhere long ago. .
Even if the manufacttfi-er^s plan
Is followed to fruition. It win be
many years before tha United States becomes self-aufHelent In
cork. The more slowly a «oA oak
grows, the better tha bark, and In
any event. It takes 20 yeara from
planting to first stripping. 40 years beforo the bark is of good quality.
Only once every • to 10 years can
a tree be strip i^ .

WASHINGTON-MotorUto visiting Washington D .C are having
less trouble finding their way

Tha District of ColumbU has In

Should the same motorist find

eastbound route signs are green

The marktaig system haa m et

have reservations. Ctdored signs,
they say, are m udi harder to fol

Animals Are Taking
Courthouse Building
CARTHAGE, Mo.—Some oI Car-
thage*a residents beUeve animals
in the neii^borhood have confused
the Cburthouse with a soo.
Recently, a racoon, a weasel and
an Opossum were spotted on the
Courthouse Square. A study of the situation led to belief that the coon
and the weasel had esUbUshed res^
idence somewhere within the Courthouse building, although Mr.
Opossum, perhaps because of his
ability to hang around in out M the
way places, still has everyone
guessing.
A horde of starlings also seem
to like the Courthouse aelgbbor>
hood. They have been nesting In
trees on the square. They're strict*
ly for (he birds and not ao popular
as the coon, weasel and opossum— they’re accused of breaking the
Courthouse clock by roosting on

The Veterans Administration saya
that fewer than 2 per cent of the

The V.A. said this indicates that
the Korean War veteran “has a

'Aie law permits a veteran taking

Mystery Disease,
Cause Not Known
Puzzles Doctors
NEW YORK-Doctora are puz-
zled by a new •‘mystery’* disease, which acts like flu. but isn't, and
is apparently far more common.
Dr. Jonas E. SaJk, of Pittsburg,
recently described the disease to
the American Public Health Asso* ,
elation. He reported a how vaccine,
which would protect against 'the'
flu virus, but said there’s no pro- ’
tection as yet- against this “X’U
disease which usually hits during Clu epidemics.
The exact cause of the new dis>
case is not known and It is possible
that it might be the so<callcd
••Virus V”, blamed for grippc4ike' ailments. .
Dr. Salk. who developed both the
new polio vaccine and flu vaccine,
discovered the mystery ailment
during studies of influenza and his
vaccine at Fort Dix. N. J.. during
the last few years. The “X” dis
ease accounted for about two-
thirds of all soldiers hospitalized,
during the wintertime Au periods.
Blood tests prove when a person
has the real influenza.
■The “X” disease 'causcs fever
and all the other symptoms of
flu. but the attack is usually mild,-
lasts from one to five days. To, date, no der.ths have been attHb*
uted to it. Dr. Salk believes that
the existence ot the "X” disease
may explain why the now flu vac*
cine sometimes seem to fall to work. His tests proved that the
vaccine g iv e s real protection
against flu for at least two years..
But the “X" hit equally afnong'
troops vaccinated against influenza and those not vaccinated. <
The problem now, according to ,
,Dr. Salk, is to find the cause of'.. "X”. The influenza vaccine' ca'n '
then be expanded to p ro te c t*
*against the "X" as well as against,, the> Qu, he said.

30 Million Babies
Bom Since War II
MIWNEAPOLIS-Since the end
ot World War II. 90 million babies
have i)eon born in the United
States. Due mainly to this postwar,
baby boom, the number of young
people—under 20>-in the U.S. is
now 11 million greater than it was
in 1940. This is a growth equal to
the combined populations of Chi-
cago, Philadelphia. Los Angeles.
Detroit and Cleveland.Since 1940 the number of people
aged 65 and over has risen by over
four million. Thus the population
in the essentially dependent age
groups. , yoiing and old, has gone
up is mlUloD. against an increase
of only 13 million in the number of
persons aged 20-04, the age group
to whom the dependent population
must look for shelter and the pro*
ducUon of goods for their-living
necessities and comforts.
fo 1940. people in the age group
from 20>64 made up nearly 59 por'.-
cent of the total population: Today • they 'comprise 56Me per cent, and
by 1965, if population factors con**
tinue at about their current rates,*.' only 52 per cent of the American
people will be in the 20*64 group.
This will be approximately 'the
same ratio as pi-evailed l>ack .in
1900. , . -

Complete Program
Dr. Herbert H. Hughes of tlie
Division of Oral Hygiene of the
State Board of Health hat iutt
completed a six-weeks dental prO'
gram in the Davie County schools.
Dr. Hughes hat instructed all
children from the first to the tixth
grade o.i the proper car* of the
teeth to prevent decay. He talked
with them about proper diet to
to build ttrong teeth and thowed
how to bruth the teeth to re.i.ove
food particle! that would cause de
cay.
Dr. Hughe! examined the teeth
of 1654 children and from thi!
group picked 297 for treatment.
This treatment consisted of clean
ing the teeth, filling permanent
teeth that could be saved, treat
ment of primary teeth to retard
decav. and exttactions where neces.
sary. Unfonunatelv, Dr. Hughes
had time to do only a small part
of the dental work done. Olher
children were referred to their lo
cal dentist, and urged to have cor
rections made as soon as po!!ible,
Dr. Hughes reported that he had
to extract 39 permanent teeth be
cause of far-advanced cavitation.
This dennl program is sponsor
ed by the local Health Depart
ment in co-operation with the
State Board of HealiK. The pro
pram has been both educational
and correctional and with an ade
quate follinv up program will
greatly incrcage the dcnul health
of the county.

It aeon of the late Peter W .H aiic
ton and Mta. Hairtton of Coolee-
mee Plantation. Mr. Hainton’t
unde, the late Frank Hainton, of
this county, served a term in the
State Legislature more than a half
centurv ago. It is not known
to pray with success. Ont point is
clear from all .'^esus* prayers, but
especially from the great prayer
in John 17: it is that the blessing
of God rests on sincere prayer for
others.
They Should Know It
Let us hope it is not impertinent
to pass on a few thoughts suggest
ed by this prayer of Christ, espe* cialty with regard to praying for
other people. Intercessory prayer
Jn the true sense is always un- sel^sh, though one may literally
pray for other persons with a self*
ish motive. For Instance, If a wom
an whose husband is a candidate
lOr office prays for his election,
that Is praying for some one else, right enough; but maybe she is
saying one word fbr him and two
for herself. So an ambitious mother
might pray that her child would
make good to Hollywood, (—and
bring home the bacon.) This is
not intercessory prayer In the
Christian sense. Christ’s prayer for others shows that he deeply and
completely desired their highest
good. But he does not offer this
prayer in silonce and solitude. He
prays in their hearing, they knew
they were on his heart. We cannot always pray in the presence of
those for whom we pray; but it
does them great good to know we
are carrying them on our hearts
before God. No service of friend or loved one is more cherished
than the simple yet sublime serv«
ice of intercessory prayer.• • *
ttSkoufdte for Ike Best
Prayer lor others should be for
the best—and this in two senses. It should be in line with God’s best
purposes, and it should be for the
best things. When Christ prayed in Gethsemane that the cup might
pass from him, the prayer was not
granted, because whai God willed would not be possible, or would not
have been possible, if Christ had
not been willing to drink that bitter
cup to the dregs. God will not
grant requests that upset his plans, no matter how earnest and appar
ently right the requests may be.
But prayer for others ought to be for the best things. Not that we
should not pray for lesser things,
ft surely is not wrong to pray th.-it
mother may find her wedding ring
that got lost in the laundry, or
that Uncle Harry may get over his cold. But surely as we grow more
mature in the Christian life we
can begin to appreciate the kind of prayer that Christ offered for
his friends. He did not pray there
at the Last Supper for their health,
long life or “prosperity." He
prayed for their Inner spirits, he prayed for their unity of heart, for
their vision of God. How often we
pray for something to happen to our loved ones, how seldom do we
pray for them! ¥^en a child lay
dying of rabies, hundreds of pray
ers went up for hit recovery. These
were not granted. But other pray
ers ware offered for his parents' faith; and thes« were granted.
• • ■
Nothing You Ask— ?
^‘Nothing you ask will be de
nied.'* a popular hymn says. But
the Bible does not promise that.
Jesus never promised it. What is
promised, and what is true, is that
the more our prayers harmonize
with (be will of the God of Love,
the more surely they will find an
swer. Now we often pray for our
friends, as we do for ours<Uv<>8.

OPEN FORUM
A minister asked me some time
agoMf I had any tinderstandloe of
what the unpardonable slu was,
and bow anyone would commit
this sin7 Jt ts tangbt sJbIdIv Id
the Bible what the unpardonable
sin Is. We read In Hebrew*, sixth
chanter, v e i^ 4, 5. that ft Is,
imt>osslble to renew any one who
has had the heavens opened tinto
them and partook of the world to
come, and tasted of the heavenly
things. Tt states such persons cru*
clfy Christ afresh and put him to
open shame.
For Instance, John, oti the Is.
land of Fatmos. had the heavens
opened unto him and saw from the
dawn to the end of time. If he
I had dented this revelation and said
|it was not true, jtist like a person
llookinp at tb^ sun sbloe. and s«y
It Is- total darkness; then snch a per-
^on .«fns neainst that greater kttow-
ledee and commits the unpardon
able slh. Or if stich a person was
to behold all these visfons of eter.
nity, then sav that Jesus Christ
should have been crucified, that he
should have suffered and been kl1>
ed by the Jews because he was not
th«> Christ, the Saviour of the
world, then he crucifies Christ a-
fresh. and puts him to open shame.
Snt'h a man once havlnfif received
snch eloti.^ns manlfestatldtis and
Idenv it and turn aealnst the Savior,
the redeemer of the world, he Is

Now Paul who said he was tak.

serve pancakes to advantage with delicious toppings to make satis

family suppers.
Caraw'ay*Chccsc pancakes are a delightful pancake dish because
the pancnkcs ore rich and fra*
grant with the flavor of caraway
seed. Hot clieese sauce Is served
with them.

No smoke. No fire.
It happened when, somebody called three hotels and said that

When alarmed night clerks m
two of the hotels dashed to investi

The schemc backfired at the third hotel, however. When the .
