In one week two of the most be loved business concerns have closed. Mike’s Cafe, where the town folk and College girls went for refreshments and refills is no more. The manager left for a larger field, so to speak. The Howell Theater gave its last strug gle Tuesday evening. May 7. The College girls were present to the end. Murfreesboro has not yet realized what a blorw its develop ment has received. Trade is invaluable to the life of a town. People like to ex change money for food and amusement. The merchants have not yet felt the effects of their bereavement but soon they will be awakened. Neighboring farmers came to town on holidays to see the movies and get supper at the cafe. Now they have no need to stop in Murfreesboro but will go to S Tuwii ^lier^Hley can tr^de and have a good time too. To be prosperous a town must improve by keeping up all sides of social life. language, the cubs never there after fell into the blunder made last year at Trenton. What a fine thing it would be if Mr. Jacoby were still alive and could be em ployed to redraft the (wretchedly drawn bills that go through the Legislature every year.—The Ber gen Record. ON CAMPUS REPORT The Chowanian has carried from tim® to time reports of the (work being done by the campus committee. This issue carries a complete report of the work that has been done this year. Some may say, on seeing the report, that it speaks for itself, but no complete impression of the work that has been done can be gained until one has seen some of the results. In planning for the beauty of the campus, the future has been considered as well as the present. The committee has worked hard and achieved a great deal. EITHER, OR; NEITHER, NOR During the whole of last sum mer, from April 3 to the middle of October, there was no law in this State under which drunken drivers could be punished. Per sons accused of the offense during those dates, who were convicted in the minor courts and iwho ap pealed to the Common Pleas judges, are now escaping. Judge Seufert is turning loose four offenders who appealed here, and the courts in other parts of the State are following his ex ample. What happened last year was that the Governor, the House, and the Senate blundered inexcusably in framing the new automobile law; turned its meaning upside down by a misuse of the words “neither, nor” and “either, or.” One of the lawyers in Essex County discovered the error soon after it was made and obtained an adjudication favorable to his client. When the Legislature met in October the act was amended, but the change could not be made to operate ex post facto. Forty years ago, Russell P. Jacoby, then the city editor of The NEWARK EVENING NEWS, exasperated because his young re porters often misused the same words, stood them in line one aft ernoon and, writing on the wall with charcoal, commanded them to sing, in chorus, what was there inscribed, as follows: “EITHER, OR.” “NEITHER, NOR.” For half an hour he kept them at it and then he said: “If any body turns in copy hereafter say ing that ‘neither John or his broth er Tom was there,’ he goes up to Verona (the children’s home) for a year.” Whatever else they may have done to the good old English HOMER ON A GARDEN The following poem written by James Larkin Pearson in his hum ble little fruit shop in Wilkes County, is pronounced by the Winston-Salem Journal equal to any poem by John Charles Mc Neill. It says that the poem has appeared in the New York Times, where it attracted the attention and also the praise of some of the leading literary lights of the country: A sheltered garden in a sheltered land. A pleasant seat upon the mossy ground; A book of Homer open in my hand, And languorous sweet odors all around. Then suddenly the age fell away; My sheltered garden floated off in space; And on some lost millenium’s bloody day I stood with storied Ilium face to face. The honeysuckle smells that would not fade Hung like a ghost above the field of red. And every dreaming pansy-face was made The likeness of the faces of the dead. Such wonders were abroad in all the land— Such magic did the mighty gods employ— That every lily was a Helen’s hand. And every rose a burning tower of Troy. International Sunday School Lesson for May 19 JEREMIAH’S CALL TO OBEDIENCE. Jeremiah 7:1-11, 21-23 Rev. Samuel D. Price, D. D. It is good for any discouraged person to spend time with Jere miah. He had been given a mis sion. No matter how the people treated the messages that he was sent to deliver, he just came right back at them when least expect ed. Read the entire chapter and then keep right on through chap ter 10; all forms the message which this man presented at this time. You will find that Jeremiah was ahead of his day in the use of parables and object lessons. Peo ple always pay more attention to an object or a story that relates to the subject matter then under consideration. Jeremiah was bold as an am bassador for he was not deliver ing his own message. In the open- jing verse today he makes it clear that he had a “word” to present from Jehovah. This should have been enough to make the people stop and listen. The place where the speaker took his stand is in teresting. It was at the gate en tering into the temple in Jeru Salem. No longer were the peo but they had not paid any atten tion thereto, so they must be made to hear the same command again. With this summons there was a promise from Jehovah. If the people would only obey, they could continue in Jerusalem and Judea and not be carried a(way into cap tivity, as had been the case with the Northern Ten Tribes. It may be that the people tried to drown out the voice of Jere miah with their slogan “The tem ple of Jehovah,” for the very walls had become a kind of fetisch. That is the way the people of Ephesus did when they cried for a length of time, “Great is Diana of the Ephesians” at the time of Paul’s plain preaching of pertinent truth. Jeremiah would also use repti- tion for the sake of emphasis. His word was “thoroughly” as he told them the extent of which they must give up their sins. These sins were named in part, and they have a social relationship. Wrong was being done to “his neighbor, the sojourner, the fatherless, and the widow.” God is always con cerned for the defenceless and He wants to make mankind love in stead of hate one another. By means of varied kinds of com munications this world is indeed a neighborhood, but it is far from being a brotherhood, such as our Jehovah desires. Plainest language is used in giving a list of customary sins. They were named thieves, mur derers, adulterers and makers of lies. There was only one way they could stop such things. It was not by offering more sacrifices, pie going therein to learn what they should do, that they might herrin Bible Class ( to be used for gravel), $4.00; Phillips-Lewis Company, Richmond, Va., $16.17; from sale of Christmas cards, $16.50; total cash receipts, $70.70.

They were reminded of the loving command that had been given when they were being called out of Egyptian slavery. It was Hearken unto my voice.” The call of Jeremiah was none other than a renewal of this Voice from the Throne. It was about the last call that would be given, and yet it was too late. Right now they must “Amend your ways thor oughly.” A like urgent call, cou pled with a blessed promise comes to every present day sinner. If and when iwe will meet the condi tions, and they are reasonable, God will fully do His part in keep ing the covenant.
