W hv can't we have a band?" when Scouting With The Editor THOUGH CLOUDS THREATENED. Easter was a pretty day. and more people went to church in this county than on any other one day the past year. From early morning throughout the day. they found their way into the places of worship. Spring having already entered with a galaxy of lovely flowers and budding trees, the newness associated with Easter was even more evident than in recent years when the observance came earlier. SOM? OF MY FRIENDS got up at 4 a m. Sunday to attend the early service at Fields of the Wood As usual tha't dramatization attracted peo ple from many states. Someone counted 800 cars. 24 trucks and 12 buses, all filled with folks. Some were so sleepy from long hours of riding they missed the services. ? ? ? THE FIRST SERVICE I attended was at 7 a m. at Petrie Hospital, the joint sunrise program of Murphy churches. Only about 50 people got up early enough to be there, and those not coming missed a good beginning for the day. , SUNDAY SCHOOL, worship service, mission Sunday School, concert at Presbyterian Church, j Training Union, and worship service?these follow-1 ed the sunrise service, and when the day ended, my energy was gone, but it had been a glorious experience! EGG HUNTS always remind me of my child hood. when I looked forward eagerly every Easter hi coloring, hiding and hunting eggs. Saturday at noon 1 got out of bed 'having been sick from food poisoning for 24 hours* and went to see my mission Sunday School children enjoy an egg hunt Mrs | W A. Sherril! and her boys had gone on before and hidden the eggs, and our 30 youngsters had much fur. finding them. MY FRIENDS know how much I enjov flowers, so they remembered me on Easter with two orchids, and only a few days ago there came som? beauti ful red roses and before that lovely bouquets of jonquils How they thrill my heart This week I'm enjoying lilac.- from my garden This cold weather has kept them from opening fully, but they arc pretty, anyway There are many lovely wild flow ers to be found now. among them the trillium hich is blooming in profusion, especially in the Nantahala gorge The red bud has been pretty here for several days, and dogwood is about to b"rst into full bloom lev watched the towns around us. one bv one. earning through with a classy school band.

He stated that special respect and appreciation is due to rural and town carriers, whose loyalty ?tnd faithfulness to duty, often in he fae? of physical discomfort is unsurpassed in any field of work. He urged a training program by each postmaster so that in case of illness or other emergency re quiring the absence of a regular employee, there might be a capa ble and trained substitute. He warned against discourage ment in the event of extra work and of criticism. He assured the postmasters that good service was appreciated, at least by part of the public served. Mr. Ackerman urged prompt ness in making of reports and in the remittance of funds. He suggested an overhauling, on the local level, of Star route schedules to see that they are modern and meeting the needs ol changing conditions. Mr. Ackerman stressed the im portance of adequate supervision He suggested advance planning and continuous study and the putt ing of knowledge to work.

DEVOTIONAL READING: Psalm lit: 1-10. Jesus and the Law Lesson tar April M, UB THE ELKS' CLUB has a constitu tion and by-laws, but if you ara not an Elk you can pass by the club house a dozen times a week and never so much as wonder what the by-laws are. No Elk will think the worse of you for it, either. The laws of the Elks are for Elks, not the gen eral public. The Christian church also has a set of laws posted somewhere in every church building, or at least written in a book you will And In every church: namely the Ten Commandments. People who do not belong to the church sometimes giva these laws no mora thought than they would give to the Elks' constitution or to the ritual of the Slgna Phi Nuthln' fraternity. But that Is a mistake. The Ten Commandments are a kind of constitution of mankind, not a set of rules for a private club. No Ladder to Heaven TTOWEVER, oven inside the A* church. Christians often have mistaken notions about the law of Cod. particularly the basic laws embodied In the Ten Command ments. Two of these wrong Ideas are almost exactly opposite etch other, with the truth *n the middle. One mistaken Idea is that the law is a kind of ladder to Heaven. That la to say: God is supposed to run a sort of book-keeping department, with a Recording Angel (or perhaps millions of them, one looking over every man's shoulder). Jotting dawn everything a person does from birth to death. Every time he acts Li ac cordance with the Commandmcits. down goes a plus mark. Every time he breaks one, down goes a minus mark. At the time of his death the account Is balanced. If there are more pluses than minuses, thei. th man Is admitted to heaven: if tl minua side puts the man "in t red"' with God. then off he hustled to Hell. In other words, on this theory (which is very popu lar though false), you write your own ticket to Heaven, you climb there on a ladder of your own good deeds. ? mm MIA h.U ?. thl. tioD, Indeed taught quite the con trary. Call ne man feed! he eaid. For one thine, plna-marlu do net cancel eat tnlnoa marks, and fer another thine, seen with the eyes of God, as the fa moos Richard Booker said, "the best things we do have some what in them te be pardoned." ) Jesus, the New Testament, and the church after them, teach with one voice that we are saved by faith,?it is God that saves us. not we ourselves. ? ? ? , ; Love Is Ne Excuse fer Sin t spHE mistake at the opposite end 1 of the line is to fancy that if we i love God are can do as we please. , In other words, the idea is that love is a substitute for obedience. ? If we Just love God fervently . enough, then his laws do not apply to us. Now this mistake is Just as bad as the first one. What would we say ! to a man who is a careless driver, . and when arrested for hlt-ano-run driving tells the Judge. "Your honor, I love everybody. I have nothing against anybody, I love my country, and you ougbt not to bother t me with traffic lews!"* What eenld we say about a man who- claimed ho leved Ms I any attention te the corns rales el politeness when la her I presence? What weald a grocer eay te a man who owed him fifty dollars If the customer I claimed to be sack a goed friend ;) the grocer eaght set te send II him a MB? No: Jesus did not teach that God's i ' .children have any right to disre gard their Father's trill. i-- ? ? o Living in Obedience /\N the contrary, a Christian trill *-'be all the more eager to do what God commands, not because he fears punishment, not because be thinks be can earn his tray into God's love, but becaus* obedience is the way God has given us by which we can sincerely show our love to him and to our fellosnnan. As Cardinal Newman pat Its "JasttOeatiea (the theologians' word for a peraea'e betag an ! right terme wtth God) Is re ootved by faith; camlets la God's Te put It another way: Dots what God desires is not the cam of being saved; it is the result < being saved.
