Meditation
Blessed is the man who walks not in
the counsel of the wicked, nor ttands tn the
way of sinners, nor stts in the 'seat of scof
fers; but bis delight is tn the Ipw of the
Lord, and on bts law he meditates day and
night. He is Itke a tree planted by streams of
water, that yields ify fault iu its season, and
its leaf does not wither. In all that be does,
he prospers. The wicked are not SO, but are
Itke chaff which the wind drives away.
Therefore the wicked wiH not stand in the
judgment, nor sinners in the congregation
of the righteous; for the Lord knows the way
of the righteous, but the way of the wicked
will perish.
Psalm 1:1-6. RSV of the King fames Version
hew Management
With this issue the Cherokee Scout starts
publication under new 6wners and editorship
The new publishers realize their great responsibil
ity in printing a newspaper in Cherokee County
and humbly dedicate themselves to service to
their new home.
v %" "
There will, of course, be some changes made
in the Scout, but the same high aim and desire
for service will continue to guide the paper. The
Scout is proud that it has been allowed to enter
Cherokee County homes for the past sixty-three
years.
It is an honor and a'privilege to serve this
county and your new publishers promise not
to betray the honor nor abuse the privileged
Miss Addie Mae Cooke, former publisher,
has set a high standard for the Scout to follow.
She worked hard and long to put the Scout where
it is today. The new owners can do no better than
to follow her example as far as honest journalism
is concerned.
Newspapermen in all of North Carolina will
miss the companionship of Miss Cooke, but the
present Scout publishers join them in wishing her
success and fulfillment in her new field. It is the
hope and wish of the Scout that she puts as much
love, work and time in her present position at
Chowan College as she did as a newspaper
woman.
It she follows that pattern, the college, the
students, her fellow facility members and Miss
Cook will profit day by day.
Shopping Jamboree
A spirit of cooperation has slipped into
merchants of Murphy after the first ground work
of their special Shopping Jamboree week has
been completed. Th project should turn out with
the very best success. 1 he idea offers the proper
inducement to success; that is, satisfaction to the
customer and to the seller.
There is no doubt that the streets of Mur
phy and store aiiles will see more customer traf-.
fic during that period. And there is no doubt
that stores will want to offer their wares to
the customers at a price agreeable to all.
Just such a project as planned for the first
week of December will bring about these con
ditions. Even if sales do not soar to unheard-of
ceilings, merchants will get a chance to meet and
welcome new customers and chat with old ones.
Th whole idea behind the plan is to show the
people of Gherokee Couhty the welcome mat is
always out for them in Murphv.
And the merchants who welcome Murphy's
friends from the county were the first to fall into
the shopping week scheme.
It is a healthy situation in a town when
store owners and managers can get together to
plan a project for the mutual benefit of all. Re
tail men here feel, and rightly so, that Murphy is
a aood place to shop. And thev plan to prove that
point to any and all who wish to participate in
their iamboree.
The Scout believes in the project because it
feels the plan is one that will help both the town
and the county.
The Scout wishes to take this opporunity to
pledre its full support to the jamboree and it
stands ready to do its part to help see the week
through to the success it should enjoy.
Friendly Move
The new Berkshire Knitting Mills plant at
Andrews showed it knows how to make friends.
The plant has issued a public invitation to Cher
okee Countv citizens to visit them and learn how
their departments are run.
Other plants in the area could do well to
follow the example set by Berkshire. The dif
ferent plants and firms not usually visited bv
people could make mans- friends by holding
open house once a vear.
And employees like to think their fellow citi
zens are interested in what their plant is doing
and how they are doing it.
Any sort of manufacturing process is inter
esting to most laymen and visitors usually carry
awav a little extra knowledge.
The company itself will profit from its plan
because the best advertisers and boosters are the
home folks who like what a company is doing.
The Scout appreciates and accepts the Berk
shire invitation.

"VIIS.
Every ?? who boo carefully
studied the ImsM en the
Mount" as we find ft ta> Matthew,
has run Into a peculiar feature of
tt. The first two chapters (Matt.
S and ?) more
right along In log
ic*: fashion, ooo
into the next, to
a climax at the
end of chapter ft.
But chapter 7
seems to launch
out In an direc
tions. The sen
tences or topics
do not follow a
single thread of thought The chap
ter Is very hard to outline. There
are various explanations ot this.
One Is that In this chapter ere have
what might be called the discus
sion period or forum following the
sermon The various short para
graphs may be explained as being
answers Jeaus gave to questions
which are not recorded. However
that may be, we may select verses
12. and 15-27, and see how they
answer four very natural questions
which Jesus' teaching (especially
m Matt 5 and O would raise.
? ? ? 4
Bible ia a Nutshell
Some one might ask: "Can't you
make your teachtog simpler and
plainerT Could you put the whole
thing in a nutshell?" So Jeaus gives
the Golden Rule (7:12). a single
sentence that has embarrassed the
ologian and plain Christian alike.
Jesus offers this ?s a kind of sum
mary of the Bible, for in his time
the Bible he had (our "Old Testa
ment"! was customarily called
"The Law and the Prophets." This
bothers the theologian because it
always scandalizes a scholar to
have everything put into one sen
tence. end besides, theologians are
accustomed to finding a great deal
-nore in the Old Testament than
the Golden Rule It lothers the
-ommon everyday Christian be
cause when he looks at this sen
? .ice. he knows how right Mark
"wain was: "'It's not what 1 don"
- '-'?stand In the Bible that dis
urbs me: it's what I do under
stand."
How Can Ton Toll?
Another questic : How do we
'enow you ere teaching the truth?
How can we tell you from a falsa
prophet? Jesus gives a simple an
swer: You can tell a tree from Its
fruits. People who criticize Chris
Vanity should keep this point in
?rind. There Is a great deal In
' Christlanendom" which is not
good. But Christendom is not
Christianity. Not even the church
is Christianity. Anything in the
church that ought not to be there,
we must set down against the ac
count of the church, not against
Christ. If the church Is weak and
sinful it is because and so far as
she has tailed to follow Jesus, not
t ecause she has followed him. The
fruits of Christ, of his heart his
spirit his teachings?these are
good fruit And if any one is dis
posed to doubt that let him fairly
answer this question: Where would
you rather live. In a community
in which the citizens ware strange
ly like Jesus, or one fat which they
were Just the opposite?
'? ? ? ?
Is Nst Faith Enough?
Another question: Isn't a single
act of faith enough? H I believe
what X ought to believe, aad if I'
honor Christ as Lord, Isn't that
enough to make me a Christies?
Jesus offers a teat of htt, as If
