The Lord hath made known Jtts salvation: his righteousness hath be operity shewed tn the sight o) the heathen. He bath remembered his mercy and his truth toward the house of Israel: all the ends o/ the earth have seen the salvation of our Cod. Make a joyful noise unto the Lord, all the earth: make a loud noise, and rejoice, and sing praise. Sing unto the Lord with harp, with the harp, and the voice of a psalm. H ith trumpets and sound of cornet make a joyful noise before the Lord, the King. Let the sea roar, and fulness thereof; the world, and they that dwell therein Let the floods clap their hands: let the hills be joy'ul together before the Lord; for he cometh to judge the earth; with righteousness shall he judge the world. and the people with equity.?Psalm PS: 1-9 Times Change An old custom was uprooted in Murphv this week when center parking suddenly dis ared. While a state of confusion is "now i: ring it is expected that the parking situation will right itself as soon as work is complete. And it looks like evervbodv is finding a place to park despite new regulations. Folks who before had thought they would be unable to find a parking space are discovering available spots they had not noticed before. This is only one more proof that "necessity is the mother of invention". The new system will allow the new high way to go through Murphy. I his w ill bring a sigh of relief from some who were afraid the flow of traffic would bypass the center of town. The elimination of center parking will be considered a wise choice b\ manv. not only be cause of the highway, but because it has long been considerd hazardous. Do Your Share In a little over two weeks the American Red Cross Bloodmobile will return to Murphy. Now is the time to tcmind yourself and your friends. Officials point out time after time that you ?or one of your hived ones?might need blood from the Red Cross some day. ur quota was down when the bloodmobile r-- ts last trip I : our commun'tv. Let's rev m n r 'r this is one small way we can serve hu manity. A healthy person won't miss a pint of blood, while just one pint might mean life or death to a sick child or a wounded soldier. A pint of your blood might bring one more boy home from Korea. So keep October 7 in mind and don't let Scouting With The Publisher THE ROSE GARDEN in front of our adminis tration building here at Chowan College, a memo rial gift, is one of my special joys. Almost daily I cut huge bouquets for our lounges, reception halls, and offices. There are roses of manv varieties, and I am told they will bloom almost 'til Christmas. THE SCUPPERNONG GRAPE, a delicacy that does not grow in our mountains, is plentiful here. It has been my delight to have invitations to many of the arbors. The vines grow on a scaffold which is slightly more than head-high, and the grapes may be picked from beneath the latticed roof, as well r on the sides. OCR MAID. Nettie. told me the first day I was here that her mother was an invalid and that she was over a hundred years old, and I promised her I d visit her one day. On that visit my heart was lifted to find the gracious old woman, with just enough eye-sight to know that I was "a white lady", sitting there helpless yet cheerful, and thanking God for his goodness to her. She has reared 16 children and has over a hundred grandchildren. ? ? * CICERO is our campus pet He belongs tc Coach Appenzeller. but he visits practically every body else daily. Mrs. John Wacaster, known by all our YV. M. U. women in Cherokee County, here for the leadership conference recently, was urging the women in her conference to go out and enlist ethers. She noticed the cat, Cicero, come to the window and listen for a while. As she proceeded with the discussion, she saw him leave, and in a few minutes, he came back dragging a kitten He was following her suggestion. ? ? ? HIGHLIGHTS in our daily activities here are the vesper hour at 6 p. m. when most of the stu dents, girls and boys, assemble on the front steps to sing hymns, read scripture and pray, and the meditation hour at 10 p m.. when the girls assemble in an up-stairs lounge for a short worship period. One is inspired by the seriousness of purpose of most of the youth here, and we are anticipating groat things from them. IF NOTHING PREVENTS, I will be in Murphy for the week-end. and I am looking forward to it v i'.h a great deal of anticipation. I wouldn't admit it here, but I have been a little homosiek for Cher-! rkee County and the mountains. Tonight in our meditation. Marian Umphlett read the 121st Psalm, "I w ill lift up mine eyes unto the hills from whence cometh my help", and it seemed so appropriate to my thinking. small altairs of your own prevent your spendin a lew minutes at the bloo.Imohile unit in th basement of l-irst Baptist Church. Looking Over A Four-H Clover By FRANCES PUETT And M. B. WRIGHT DOROTHY SHIELDS WRITES FROM HOLLAND "I think that Holland is by far th3 best country of all. It's beauti ful, picturesque, quaint, fantastic ?just everything all in one! And the people are all wonderful. I'm no v living with my second family, van de Fols. There is a daughter, Maartje. 22 years old and a son. Jan. 26 years of age. The children can understand and speak a very little bit of English, but the par ents none. We have a wonderful time trading English and Dutch. I am the first American or English speaking person that the family has ever seen. They ask me many questions about our country and its language, and I have to be very careful to speak correctly for they take in everything. I carry a pocket dictionary with me all the time so that we will be able to understand each other. Some ti es it gives me a strange feel ing when I think of the responsi bility I have of giving the first real or true impressions of Ameri ca. "The family has really accepted me as a new sister?and I feel right at home. I work with the daughter and mother , in and around the house, cleaning, dining the laundry, baking and cooking, sewing, mending, and weeding in the garden. They have 400 hens and already the job of gathering the egga ia mine. It la a lot of fun to help with the chicken* for next to the chicken yard they have < meadow full (really full) of rab bits, which come into the yard and eat with the chickens. Their farm is covered with things that are ex eiling and nice to see. They have three turkeys, a peacock, three ?ages full of birds, two swans, and ?en pen filled with black and white rabbits. T'.icy have 20 cows which we milk. There is not so much for me to do about milking since they use three milking ma chines here, but I ride with them every time on the wagon and help drive the cows in and hely all I can. I can say that putting on a milking machine isn't so easy as ] it looks to be. "The farmer and his son have i been putting grass in the silo for | this winter. It is work much like ours except for the silo itself?it j is a very large round one built irp about eight feet from boards, 'hen it will be covered with sand. J Their farm is rather small and they do mixed farming along, with the work of the chickens and cows "Every day there is a thorough cleaning from one end of the house to the other. No dirt found in the iverage Dutch home. I wonder every morning how long the floors will last wKh so much scrubbing, but so far they are still in good condition. "The dining room Is a busy part of the borne of this family. With five meals a day (and by the way this Is not counting tea and cook ies at 3 p. m. and hot chocolate i?tter milking) It seems as if this ? >r i is used constantly; for this is where most of the family's con versation of the day's work and other affairs take place All the meals except the midday meal con cists mostly, of buttered bread with cheese and meat. The loaves of bread are huge and the mother cuts off huge slices, too, and un fortunately I have grown to en joy this Dutch food very much! "Sunday morning I went to church with the family. I couldn't understand much Dutch, but it was nice to be In a worship service. Their service was carried on very much as cur Protestant services. Several of their hymns are the same as ours; I can't say that the Dutch and English words mixed so well though! "After six weeks on my first farm with the lovely family and many enjoyable days. It was almost hard to leave. Having made life long friend of the family and nanv of the neighbors, it wasn't easy to drive away for the last time and not look back almost wishing I could stay longer. Es pecially after the mother had acted ^s if I were her own daughter and waved rood by through a mist of fears she could not hide from us. It was only the excitement of won dering what my next family would be like that kept this one from being a really sad occasion. Now I can say that I am very happy and satisfied with what I found. "Oh, I almost forgot to tell you about being a real Dutch girl the other day! In the town of Ermelo near where I am now living they had a festival One part of It was a contest and parade of the old Dutch costumes. The mother dress ed the son and me up in the old clothes of the family and we went to the festival. I wore a long black dress, white bonnet, long blsck stockings, and the white wooden shoes land they are very difficult to walk with). Jan wore a black SO ME TORE DOWN THE OAM?

"I have been here only a week ! today, but already we can very' I ell understand each other, with I heir knowing only a few words of ! Krtglh i and mv knowing only a j few Dutch words. This is truly an ! -xpenence of a lifetime. There is so much to learn, to see, and peo ple to meet and know that I feel highly inadequate. But I am striv ing very hard to parry out my mis icn.

A King Prays I Lesson far September SI, IMS KING SOLOMON U not best known (or his prayers; yet they are among the most remarkable f.atures of what we know of him. If we can know what a man prays for. we know the I heart ol the man. , The higher a man'* ? 1 place in life, the more he stands In need of prayer, the prayers of others as well as his own. King Solomon's reu tation for wisdom based on one rather fantastic court de- j>r Fwarai cision, or on the splendor of the Temple, which be did not design; still less on those legendary powers such as being able to converse with dragonflies and demons. He was never more wise than in his prayers. ? ? ?

We may well believe that the young king often thought abhut it afterwards, and that Grd actua'ly took this way of speaking to Solomon. .* ?'?. fnr One Thing T!:AT dream Solomon is invited to pray, and God guarantees to answer the prayer, whatever it is It is remarkable what Solomon did not ask for. Considering the fact that his father had been such a warrior, rne might expect Solomon to ask for victory in war. But the young king, even in his dreams, did not picture himself as a conquering hero. Then again, he might have been expected to want to be rich. He came of a race that rated property very highly indeed. In the Hebrew language, the expression "a great man" often meant simply a very rich one. But it was not money that Solomon desired most of all. A third blessing too might have been in Solomon's mind; something that every man of his time looked on as a sure sign of the blessing of God: namely, long life. But this too was not what the young man most mished to have. Instead, he prayed for wis dom. Knowledge Is knowing; wisdom Is knowing how to use what yon know. And be wanted this wisdom, not In order to be rich, powerful or leng-bved, bat In order to become n good lead er ef his people. One cannot help believing that Solomon already had In him the aeed of wisdom, or ho would not have offered that prayer. Only the wis# know what a Jewel wisdom Is. ? so Prayer ef a Mature Mind ANOTHER prayer of this famous king is recorded at the dedica tion of the Temple. Solomon had grown older by that time, and we can see In this prayer that he had grown wiser as well. For good as his dream-priyer was, this later one was deeper, higher, wider. By this time his tdea ef God Is higher than It was. He is aware new that Oed dees not Hve even b> the moot gorgeous of temples; his dwelling place la la heaven, and his care Is net for the nation ef Israel alone. Then again, in the earlier prayer Solomon's horizon was bounded by the limits of his native land. His prayer was unselfish, indeed, but it took In the welfare ef his own sub jects?no others. Row at the Temple he prays for "the stranger ... all the people of the earth. Furthermore. <Jt In Ma earlier prayer young Solomon was aware of his and his people's weakness and Ignorance, now he feels something deeper, more serious; the ifarden of human tin. Ho prays for many blessings, but above all for this: for giveness tor every heart that turns to God gWhen we ourselves pray, are our prayers mature? How high It our thought of God? For bow wide ? circle of parsons do wo bray? And do we pray first, and most of all. for things, or tor power J or to bo In harmony with God?
