ITEMS FROM THE DEMOCRAT

Mr*. W. L. Bryan left this morn
ing for Marion, where she will
spend a few days with her daughter,
Mrs Dr. Morphew.
It is now definitely announced
that the. summer term of the App
alachian Training School will open
on Tuesday June 4th.

in' Mitchell county last Saturday,

opening of the summer school.
Mrs. R. C. Rivers left this a. m. to
visit her aged mother. Mrs. N. A.
Jurney, at Olin, Iredell county. She

More building in and around
Boone is one of the crying needs
just now. There is not a single
empty house in the corporate limits
of the town.
Here are the gentlemen elected on
Tuesday to preside over the affairs
of the town for the ensuing year:
J. C. Fletcher, Mayor; M. B. Black
bum, M. P. Critcher and L. B. Mc
Neil, aldermen.
Eli Long reached home in time
to spend a few days with his mother
before she died. He is still here, but
we have not learned what his plans
for the future are, whether he will
remain at the old home or return to
the west.
It seems that no state flag will
flutter from the dome of the court
house for a while yet at least, as
the matter was brought before the
commissioners on Monday, and was
passed over with but little comment.
Of course it is a law that the state
flag shall float .from each court
house and state building, but it does
occur to-us that it is a very foolish
one.
It seems that the Masonic picnic
for Boone is now almost assured.
Four of the five lodges directly in
terested were represented by com
mittees here on Monday evening.

SIX-INCH SERMON
By REV. ROBERT H. HARPER
L.earnWig to Live Together
.Lesson for May 12: Matthew 18:
15-17, 21, 22; Mark 10: 35-37, 41-45.
Memory Selections: John 13:35.
Two matters are dealt with in
this lesson ? forgiveness and self
seeking.
Jesus outlined a plan for an in
jured man to follow. He must first
talk with the man who injured him.
If no amends are made, he must tell"
it to the church, and if the man who
injured him will not listen to the
church, he can be regarded as a Gen
tile and a publican. When Peter
asked if forgiveness should be ex
tened. to the seventh time, Jesus re
plied, "1 say not unto thee, until
seven times; but, until seventy
times seven." Jesus was not dealing
in actual numbers. He did not mean
that a man might forgive 490 times
by count and then refuse futher to
forgive. But he mean\ to say that
forgiveness should be. unlimited.
In the second instance Jesus
tstught that it is unseemly and
wrong that the inordinate ambition
of this man or that should :nar the
association of brethren. When the
ten Heard the ambitious request of
| James and John, "they were moved
(with indignation." Then Jesus, call
ing them together, spoke of the
nature of true greatness. It is the
greatness of those who serve ?
"whosoever would be first among
you, shall be servant of all." For
their example in such service Jesus
invited attention to himself.
Certainly the forgiveness of wrong
suffered and the putting down of
inordin^e ambition are necessary if
men would live well and happily to
gether.
