SECTION TWO “ ' l, "' P HARRELL Several weeks ago newspapers | carried the story of the startling' and complete disappearance of an entire family in Virginia. The family just vanished, disappeared without a trace or a clue left be hind that might point to then whereabouts or what had hap pened. Police and searchers have combed the area on foot and in planes, agaih and again, and l checked every avenue and po ; s : - 1 bility that might lead to learn-i [ ing the secret of this bizarre mvs- 1 tery. But to no avail, they had vanished as completely as though the earth had opened and swal- > lowed them up. Today, the newspapers again j carried the st"ry of the disap-1 pea ranee of another family of Seven, tins time in Minnesota. ] Th's disappearance is also an un explained mystery. In the past few years, since the SCHOOL AND YOUR CHILD By John Corey, Appalachian State Teachers College “Cookbook” method of teaching science has been shelved by a teacher at the demonstration high school on the campqs of Appa lachian State Teachers College, Boone.

Much to my astonish-; ment I have learned of countless and unexplained similar disap- 1 pearances of individuals and i ' groups, both in ancient and mod- i ! ern times. l The opinions advanced by most ’of these writers on space and :n --terph-netary matters whose books I had read, was that those pe-- j ; sons who vanished were kidnao- j | ped by beings from other wor’ds j Theoretically this cou’d expla-n I these recent and inexplicab’e dis ! appearances of two entire fami jlies. within the space of a few weeks.

THE OLD WEST—lsaac Charles Parker, famous as the “Hanging i Judge” of the old West, who probably sent more men to the gallows than any man, before or since, had this comment to make on his career: “I never hanged a man. The law hanged them. I was only its instrument.” You can’t trust Russia. j resembles one faced by a real j i scientist. The high schooler, like I ! the scientist, tackles the assign-j ! ment and trier to come up with the rayon. ! To do so, he must exercise his 'mind in applying fundamental knowledge learned in science classes and at the same time cre ate. He makes believe that rayon is an unknown discovery and that i it’s up to him, the research scien tist, to develop it. Rayon comes from cellulose in. wood. The youth must extract! the cellulose, made in leaves of 1 a tree from air and water and : stored in the trunk, and turn it | into rayon. Other assignments by Science Teacher Hadden call for students to make DDT (insecticide), pep permint flavoring and compare the strength of Vitamin C : in canned orange juice with ffesh orange juice. After the youngsters have com-! plcted the problems, they com pare their procedures and solu tions with those in the textbook. Occasionally a bright kid’s meth od is better. This learning procedure, ac cording to Hadden, provides op portunities for “real experiences with true science—finding an swers by experiments.”; As for the teacher./slfates Had den. he competes wjtty the mar vels of modern day scientists and makes his subject bebome even -Schenleii “ALCOHOLI KHAN”— No jewels or gold were given, but the . citizens of Nuernberg, Germany, did present their carnival prince with his weight in brandy, thus making him the “Alcoholi Khan.” Nearly 100 quarts of the stuff were needed to equal Prince Werner’s weight. | more alive by in a small | way, a research director. j (Kititor's null 1 : Because or tile tr- , mentions public demand for an- i thoritative informal ion in the field I of education SCHOOL AND YOUR I !

He rescinded certain Old Testa : ment regulations (Matthew 5:31- 1 32; 5:38-39). Only God could ar rogate the Word of God. There fore, Jesus Christ is God. He claimed for Himself author ity over men (Matthew 23:-8-12) He told them to believe on Him for eternal life; to lay down theii lives if need be. He claimed equality with the Father (Matthew 11:27-28:19- John 5:19: 10-15: 10:30; 14:10: 17 10. 21). In order for there to be an “Eternal Father” it is neces sary for there to be the correla tive "Eternal Son.” Without one there cannot be the other. There fore, Jesus Christ is God. He accepted, without objection, the title of Son of God from Na thaniel and Peter. He claimed to be the Son of God (Luke 22:70). They asked Him, “Are you the Son tis God?” He answered, em phatically. “You said it!” Now this brings us to an aw ful alternative, and we might as well be honest with ourselves l and face it. Jesus claimed to be : the Son of God. If He claimed ito be the Son of God, and was I not; if He claimed to be the only (Person who could rescue us from I hell and save us for heaven, and •was not: He was enher an irh | poster, the greatest liar and blas j pherner who ever lived, or He i was crazy. You must accept His ! claims as true, or denounce Him l as a liar or a mental case. It is ; not intellectually honest to revere! j Him as a great and good man. | but to deny His claims to unique ness as the Son of God and only | source of spiritual troth. You i cannot honestly be neutral about Jesus. God has not made that possible. You must either accept Him or reject Him. This seems simple enough. When two things contradict each other, both cannot be true. To place the teachings of Jesus on a level with those of other men. is to deny His claims about Himself and call Him a liar and imposter. Does this border im blasphemy 0 It is blasphemy! Accept either alternative, but you cannot have it both ways. Personally, I accept the Bible } record of Jesus. I believe He is God come in the flesh; that He died on the cross as my Substi tute; that He rose in bodily form from the dead; that He ascended into heaven to intercede in my behalf; that He will come again to receive me unto Himself, ij believe this, and believing I am 1 saved. I Someone objects. “But you m«- I be mistaken.” 1 won't admit this possibility with regard to the i work of Christ —but even if I am mistaken, I am playing it safe. If there is no God, at least my faith has made my life more fuli, rich, and pleasant. And I am happier for believing there is a God. But if there is a God, and Jesus spoke the truth, what ol you who gamble that there is no God? You owe it to your immor tal soul to examine the claims of the God-man, Jesus Christ. I urge you to place your faith in Him, and let Him have your life. | Minutes Os Board j Os Public Works j Edenton, N.
