POLITICAL ANNOUNCEMENT
To the Citizens and Voters of Cherokee County
Ladies and Gentlemen:
A few weeks mo I announced that I would be a candidate for the office of
Sheriff of Cherokee County subject to the action of the Democrat Party at the
May 29th Primary.
Most of the voters of the county know me personally since I have been in business
in and around Murphy since World War I and for the past twelve years I have served
the people of the County as Clerk of the Superior Court. As to my record in that
office, you voters have it.
?
Since I announced that I would br a candidate there has been something said as to
who I was going to appoint as Deputies IT elected. I want to clarify that by saying that
I have not promised any one an appointment and had no Intentions of doing so until
after the primary. I have made no promises other than this, if I am elected I will
discharge the duties of a sheriff to the best of my ability and that 1 have no intention
of appointing any drunkard o* bootlegger as a Deputy Sheriff should I be successful
in this campaign. The public in general know as much now as I know a? to who will
be appointed, but I will say that if I am successful in this undertaking H will be my aim
to appoint as good men as I can find who will accept such appointment. ?
I will make this statement, that if I am elected to the office of Sheriff, I will woik
with the people to the end that we may make cur county a little better place in which
to live. I have nothing but praise for my opponents, but since I am in the race, I am go
ing to put up as good clean fight as 1 know how in order to win and I appeal to all my
friends and supporters to lend me their help in this undertaking, and I promise that I
will give the people of the county a clean honest and upright administration.
Thanking you in advance for any and all help in my behalf, I am.
Since-ely yours,
< J. L. HALL

of Cherokee County

LrsaoD for April IS. 1IM
T" K about Jeiua aa If ho
?ly a hiitorical char
act i take, aald William
Adam. >Vhen other men die.
their oi>. >ea can be written.
There la nothing to add to the tale
of their life. Even In the caae of
the great and famoua men about
whom new booka appear every ao
often, each biographer ? merely
edits newly discovered material at
the most " he adds a chapter to
other bi? , hies. It la simply the
record ot a chapter hitherto un
known?but It addi nothing new to
the [acts, only to
men's knowledge ]
of the facts. With
Jesus, as Dr.
Brown points out.
the case Is alto- j
g ether deferent.
You could not write j
a "definitive," a i
lastword. biogra
phy about him '
even today, be- Dr. Foreman
cause he still lives and Is active
in the world. Jesus is not someone
who was; that Is not the whole
truth. Jesus Is. The message of
Easter is not only that Jesus did
not die forever; it is more that he
lives forever, that he lives now.
In the Church
The Church is called In the New
Testament the "body of Christ."
In a very real way. that is true.
One contemporary theologian has
put this in a startling way. He says
that Christ and the cbnreh are the
complete Christ, just as a man and
his body together are the com
plete man. This may be .putting it
too strongly. But no thoughtful
Christian will deny that without
the church, without some church.
Christ would be bodiless In this
earth. Without the church he would
be a "houseless wraith of deity.**
but with the church he has'eyes,
ears, hands and feet. This Is not
to say that any church is perfect;
In the best of churches Christ
walks lame and speaks in a mur
mur often hard ^understand. Just
as pny musician would be hamp
ered by a broken arm. so Christ Is
hampered by broken and self-seek
ing churches* Vet taking it all In
all. Christ dc!es live and speak and
work through his church today.
He Is there In the sacraments,
there in the message of truth and
grace, there In the life and serv
ice of every church that ministers
to men in his name.
In Men and Women
But the church does not exist
apart from the men and women
who are its members. (We mean
real members, not just people
whose names appear on the mem
bership lists.) Christ lives again
in every individual who loves him.
Is devoted to him and (to use St.
Paul's memorable words) Is
"growing up In all things Into
Him." When St. Paul said. "1 Uve.
yet not I, but Christ liveth in me."
he was saying only what countless
Christians have said because they :
had discovered It was true. Chris- !
tians less famous than Paul have I
known him in their lives. A man '
who had had a great deal of trou
ble with a certain temptation was
asked one day by his pastor how
he was getting along. "You know."
the man replied. "I used to have
a lot of bother from the devil and
I didn't always get the best of
him. But now when Satan rings, t
just say. "Lord Jesus, won't yon
answer the door?' "
At Hw Rialit Hand of God
The Apostles' Creed, which
Christians in all lands know by
heart declares that dhrist "?lt
teth at the right hand of God." By
this the church has never meant
that Jesns is spending eternity sit
ting down on a throne somewhere.
What we mean Is that Christ Is
not only alive on this small planet
but that he lives and works with
God. Just as In ancient times when
a king held royal court the seat<
en his right was teserved tor his
most trusted and most active per
sonal representative, so Christ
lives on In the presence of Eterdal
Power today. In ways that the
heavenly glory hides from eur
sight We dare not guess at all
what he plans and does; but the
Church Is certain of one thing; he
is praying tor his people. "He
ever liveth to make Intercession
tor us." If It is a comfort to know
of the prayers of any friend, how
much more to know that the liv
ing Lord is praying tor usl 80 on
Easter Sunday the church sings? t
how can she help It? The flower*'
and the music are not to keep
alive the memory of one who once
> upon a time rose again, but are
in honor of one who lives now.
In and above tkj church and the
world. ? i
