It is a ques tion tor u- now not of forming a new .-ovei nment. churches, schools. and nigral institutions, but of the pie -ervation of those forme'l by oui ?iithers and are already old; not of he formation of an independent power, _ but of the purification of a nation's life; not of the conquest of ? foieign foe. but of the subject :??n ot ourselves. The capacity of a ?nan to rule himself is to be proien ? i the days to come; not by the ?neatness of his wealth; not by his valor on the field; not by the ex tent of his dominion; nor by the ?plendor of his genius. The dangers of today come within. The worship of self, the love of power, the lust f?r gold, the weakening of taith, the iecay of public virture. the lack of private worth; these are the perils that threaten ?ur future these aVe the enemies we have t* fear; these are the traitors that infest the ' camp. The danger wan far less when Gataline knocked with his army atl the gates of Rome, than when he sat smiling in the Senate House, npie-re is no peace between them and our safety nor can we avoid them and, turn back. It is not enough to rest on the past. No man or nation can ' stand still. We mus mount upward! or go down. We must grow worse or better. It is the eternal law-we ' cannot change it. If the muscle j liases to resist gravity it dies. If, the brain is not used, it declines. If, the moral and spiritual factors of mankind are not exercised, they de-] cay. This is unalterable law. It mu3t needs be. therefore, that life is war in order that we may develop, j When we conquer these dangers, ! these enemies, these perils and trai-: tors, the years that will lie before us will be a vfrgin page. We can in- 1 scribe them as we will. The fate of; humanity may be in our hands.! Here on the threshold of the future, | thevoice of humanity must not plead to us in \-ain. Tha pleading voice chocked with the sobs of ages may be lifted up to us. It may ask us to be benevolent, consistent and true to the teach onga of our history. I may ask us to be virtuous and seek that righteousness which exalteth nations. It ades us in the name of justice, in the name of chaHtv. and in the name of God. We the generation, from the py ramid top of opportunity on which our fathers by the help of the Maker liave set us. look down on forty cen turies. We stretch our hands into the future with powfy to mold he destinies of unborn millions. We of ?fcis generation and nation occupy the Gibraltar of the ages which commands the world's future. Young men of the generation, these are some of the problems you face. 30ir.e of the fields of opportun ity for your achievements, some of, the responsibilities that will knock at your door.

The statesman points out' the mistakes ot the multitude, at-? racks their prejudice*, and educates! their conscience! not becau.-e he' loves himself, but becau.-e he loven j to serve right. He who refuses to. stoop, who cannot be brided by the promise of success, nor fear of failu're, nor made a vulture of the : land, who walks the highway of ; right and keeps his self-respect, in more despicable than to reach fame disaster stands erect. Nohting is by crawling or position by cringing. The kneele'rs at the shrine of chance and fraud become the food of scorn. While those who bear the burdens for right. Who would not bow to man nor give place for power, will wear upon their brows the lstu'rels mingled with the oak. The glories of the past depend up on the glories of the future. No man, young or old, has a right to ex puts into it. That would be dishon pect more from the world than he est and unmanly presumption, and doomed to merciless failure, as it should be. We must not be idle. We have much to do. We have forces that asswlt our laws and strike at the very foundation of liberty, of society, of all that is of worth in our institutions. We have those who xould sell their suffrage, their birthright, vultures ready to arise and reign. We must do our share in the universe. WTe must preserve the heritage handed us by the fathers and pass it on with improvements. We must spend and be spent. Shame and disgrace will be otfrs if we al low to trail in the dust the golden hopes of men. o OAK PARK (Last Week's Letter) Well about all I know is what I hear and what I read and that's, most tly politics and that's mostly second hand stuff or run-off material. There fore mustn't expect too much from j this source. We've all been bothered lately with crop pests, such as bean bugs, corn borers, etc. And I might add ; too that candidates have pestered us ' some, since we listen to them when l they come canvassing and taking i some of our time with their long winded speels while we let the weeds take the grawth from our crops. The question is will they be of any assist' ance to the farmer when they get to Raleigh or will they go up there to Washington or Raleigh and try to repeal the prohibition law like some of our senate candidates and presi dental nominees would like to do. The Apostle Paul said men should wax worse and worse and I'm think ing that those who are trying to force thigs that are Against the Will of God are the evil seducers that would bring liquo'r flowing back into Amer ica, thus bringing degradation, illit eracy, and poverty b%plc to hadredi f h me?.

He was taken to Ducktown hospital where doctors expre?vt: -ipl? ..?!!>? favorable to his recovery ur!.-~s ?>t hv-r en eet ions shewed up. Mr. and Mrs. I. m Raper made a business t rip to Murphy la-: week. Mr. Jim Raper made a trip to Pucktown t<> s?e his brother Ernest Raper who i- in Kinsey ? Qu:nn hospital. *? We presume that mo.-t every com munity has forgotten Red Cross re lief except this community and it there has been any authorities he'r<? to about it the wiiter has not seen them. I would like for us to, organize and elect some one to re-: present our community and see if we j can get help for those little ones; who sfre kept out of school on ac count 01 insufficient clothing. One or two of the citizens tried to get relief for some stricken ones last winter but "failed to be recognized when the test came. No clohting on hand was the excuse. Why should n't we be recognized by the Red Cross as well as other communities I'm in favrfr of passing none who need relief. While same fathers are able to work but where can they work to get a dollar. Little children are innocent creatures and no mat ter by what means they're destitute it is not the Lords will they should be passed up. P0STF1L The Seven Day Adventist at Pos* tell gave a picnic and free dinner with ice lemonade to the public on ?July 4th. These services were held at the home of Mr. and Mrs. J. M. i Hambys and refreshment was serv ed on a long table on a beautiful lawn where all could feast to the satisfaction of thefr appetite. After refreshments Mr. W._ G. Kneeland of Cleveland, Tenn. and Mrs. B. F. Kneeland, of Covington, Ky. made short t alks but of much interest to the hearers. Then Mr. H. E. Ly-[ singe'r, President of the Georgia: Cumberlanl ICortference &? Seven I Day Adventist of Atlanta, Ga. made a good talk and would have been] more lengthy but was hindered by a down pour of rain, as these services were out in the open. The people would have been proud if he could have finished his discourse. They had considerable plays for the chil dren and pome of the grown-up folks. They had a real nice time and all present enjoyed themselves fine. The fa!rmers on the creek are making a liard fight against the weeds in their corn since the rain quit. The whooping cough is rough on the children around Postell now days. Our Sunday School Supeninten dent, Rev. H. G. Jones attended the Mt. Olive Sunday school last Sunday in the atftcfrnoon. Mr. T. M.

Enrolment for Western Carolina Teachers College The following is an excerpt from a letter that is being mailed to all girls that have been enrolie4 ** , Western Carolina Teachers College during 1931-1932. "Now is the time for you to help Cullowhee. Unless there are more I girls here next year Mr. Hunter has | promised the bojs that they may have Robertson Hall if they can get as many as one hundred twenty-five boys to come. It looks as if they will be able to do it because they have a new coach, Mr. Poindexter, who has alreary seen fifty boys about coming next year. The thing for us to do is to get so many girls here that we will crowd Ro!bert9on and Moore both. Then some other provision . ca? ? made for the boys after Davies Hall is filled". The enrollment campaign for next year between the bogs and girls bids fair to be a lively one. W. M. Fain Grocery Co. MURPHY, N. C.
