EXS :*3x i 82,000,000 Lutherans '} Observe Lenten Season 't Eighty-two million one hundred an i eighty thousand Luthern people jj are at this time observing the Lenten j season of the Church year. Through;*; the years this observation has beer. a bor.d of visible unity between all t believers. Reverence and assurance a have been peipetuatfed. "While the y customs of society and civil govern*' o men! are ever subject to change and d ri- vacillation, as. being hut human., how a. f: fitting that that kingdom, which is o the Lord"Jesus Christ, should be T ?the same yesterday, today and for- o ever.[ W. si "The Christian Year revolves about { ; Jesus- Christ as its center. nnd-^lfs purpose is to shbxv forth the successive stages of His. life, and to inter- d; pret these for the edification of the: believer's spiritual life." All stress - ai is laid upon the V/ord; no sanctity; |j belongs to the day or the season, j Ahlfeld has said very beautifully: a "As the earth moves around tin: vis ible sun, so the Church moves around the sun of divine grace?so she travels through the sacred history of the Saviour. Her spring is the lovely season of Christmas and Epiphany, wher. Christ is horn. Her summer is jpfe the season of Lent and the passion time of Jesus Christ. And her bar- p tr vest and autumn are the Whitsuntide jgp^y days, when the Holy Spirit is poviied ( r, out upon r?he disciples, and when, in the loop lovely Trinity Sundays, one kind after another of the gifts of the Triune God is borne into the S?y.; granary of the heart."

It acknowledges the word of God as the only source and infallible norm of all church |? teaching and practice. The word of God reaches man through preaching the law and the Gospel, which begets daily repentance and faith, the rr true marks of a Christian life. The sacraments of baptism and the Lord's Supper arc not regarded as mere ? signs and memorials, but as c'nan- ^ 3$ pels through which God bestows His grace. The Lutheran faith does not ( f/ center in the doctrine of the sover'S eignty of God or in the church, but SH it centers in the Gospel of Christ ' !. for fsllc-n men.

County Would Fay Out Greater j Amount Than They Would Rtc?:?ei According to School Authorities. Fj>fle?a Larger Counties Would Be 3enefitcd. All Counties Would Participate Under Me.cl.ean Plan. Raleigh. K. C.?About fifteen of the larger Xorth Carolina counties would get more money out of the fm- <iiw>i of in a .11" <iv.mnnth school term under the so-called Mac-] Lean plan than they would pay into! tlie Treasury under the general sales j tax plan which accompanies it. while' the remaining 85 counties would pay more under the sales tax plan than] they get hack if the State takes over ami operates the six months terms, school people estimate. Under the Mac Lean plan, all ofj the counties naitieipate in the Statej fund, but most of them pay backj more, indirectly', under the sales tax! plan, some twice as much, as the! difference between the amount the! Mac Lean plan gives them and the! amount the Folger plan gives them.; The latter plan, embodied in a bill j introduced by Senator John H. Fol-j ger. chairman, and members of the i Senate Education Coimoritee, pro-1 vides a ?10.000,000 school fund, $8,200,000 for the six-months term and SI,800,000 for the extended term. Under this plan, four of the larger' counties, Durham. Forsyth. Mecklenburg. New Hanover, do not participate in the equalizing fund. The AlacLean plan ecntomplates a genercl sales tax which is estimated to produce SS,000,000 in revenue. With slightly more than 0,000,000; population in the State, that means j an average of about $.1 per person j oer Year in the sales lav. rnllprtpd i indirecly. Wih a population of 138,-!) 010 at $3 each. Guilford would pay $390,030 of this tax and receive j $070,093 from the State; on the same basis, Mecklenburg would pay $383,-, | SI 3 in the tax and receive $598,780 for her schools; Forsyth would pay $335,043 and pet back ?531,147; 1 Durham would pay $'201,588 and pet j $335,210; New Hanover would pay $129,030 and get $197,026. Watauga County, under the Folger plan, would get $70,527 of the-, i qnalining fund and $95,036, or $18,-' 509 more, under the MacLean plan. I But Watauga, with ?a population of 15,165, paying $3 each would pay $45t495 into the State fund, or $26,- 1 986 more than the difference between ihe amounts received under lite MacLear. juau and the Folger plan. While the larger counties wotifa gain, \Vatauga would lose under --hei Mac Lean plan, as coxtjp*?i*jF; what she- would get under theYolgcrT plan. THE WEATHER j Weather report for week ending!
