If I didn't know little boys and girls better, I would say it would be a pleasure, to go to school in the building While ovrr at Berkshire 1 met THE REV AND MRS J. J WOOD Mr Wood said there are 3 lot of places to be born in but WN'C is the best place to live in I believe he's got a good point i there. Mrs J A Watkins was in the mill cafeteria telling about the problems of being a grade mother Little Jimmy Watkins had no problem at all making the ice cream disappear the mill served He did seem rather worried for a few minutes because his mother "forgot to pay for the ice cream." Plenty of Murphy folks went to the two open houses including MR AND MRS E C MOORE, MRS. B G BRUMBY JR , MRS. J. W. THOMPSON AND MRS. J. H. McCALL MRS.

When I got to the mill I learned SAMMIE BECK, director of the Franklin High School Band had sent out an SOS when the bus the band travels in broken down on the way to Murphy. The group was to play at the Murphy-Franklin game. Se v e r a 1 private cars and the Highway Pa trol combined efforts to get tbe band there In time, I understand Speaking of Highway Patrol, I've got to get PATROLMAN LONG to check my struggling buggy so that I can apply for a North Carolina tag. When I get the license on I we? fell like a real TAR HEEL then Patrolman Lang was going around with a face to'match his name last week when his little dachshund puppy got lost flow ever. he found It several days lat er, with no ill effects. I overheard two of the boys talking in the barber shop the other day and one said he remem bered when he could get two pounds of pork shausage for 25 cents What a memory! He claimed he was making $15 a week when he was married and he and his wife were able to save $40 in six months by putting away a dollar or so at a time. He said they purchased a milk cow dur ing that period also. It seems to me that fellow a really going WAY BACK there in the past.

Maybe the reason It ts seldom used U that the thing It means Is seldom met with. It Is the word "compas sion " Literally. It means "suffer ing-with." When it is said by Mat thew that Jesus bad compassion on the crowds. It means literally that he knew how they felt, what they needed, where they hurt; and that In his own heart he suffered with them Their needs were his needs, their pain his pain That is com passion; but it is not yet the whole of It There Is something more An artist (let us say a novelist) has lohave compassion, o* a sort Many novels and stories have been writ ten. for Instance, about bull fight ers. and some of the story tellers have shown a high degree of imag inative power You might almost fancy they had been bullfighters themselves, as to be sure some of them have been. But few If any of these story-writers have done anything to put a stop to the brutal sport of bull-fighting They feel the tragedy of the whole business yet they do not pro; use to do anything about it Compassion, as Jesus felt it, never was a mere emotion. It was emotion harnessed to action ? ? ? Harrassed and Helpless The Revised Standard Version translates beautifully Matthew's description of the crowds who moved Jesus to compassion They were "harassed and helpless." he says The interesting thing is that It took Jesus to see this Some could see only that .here were a lot of people, and they took up a lot of room, and there was hardly room or time for Jesus to eat Others?the Pharisees?could see only their Ignorance: "This multi tude that knows not the law is ac lrsed." Others (as was the case itb the disciples on a later occa on) realized only that the crowd oked hungry Well, the people ere numerous, they were no oubt ignorant, and most of them ere chronically IB-fed. But the olnt 1*. the people who sew them ( this light did not have com asion. ell they felt was annoy nce The crowd* were a nuisance, eaus felt quite different toward lem. He saw them as they were, arassed and helpless. You your elf run Into crowds, or you read bout them How do they strike out Do they frighten you, amuse ou, annoy you or make you ngry? The masses today are very ttle different from the masses In eaua" time Can you tee them a* ley ere, harassed and helpless! jid does It stir you to do some rtng about It? Then you know omething about the compassion t* heart ? ? ? Tie Inmost Need There ts another Important fact bout Jesus' compassion One can ot call It unique, for the best Ihristians have shared it He was ble to see beneath the .surface of hlngs to people's real needs The oung man brought by his four riends to Jesus probably was hinking chiefly about his helpless rms and legs Jesus looked knd aw his helpless soul The publi an Matthew may well have felt orry for himself because business ?as bad, or because he was not topular Jesus' compassion went leeper; he felt Matthew's real leed?to get away from the publi ran business altogether.
