Text of the Lesson, Matt, v, 17-26, 38 48 Memory Verse, 44 Golden Text, Matt, v, 48 Cor-imentary Prepared by Rev. D. M. S -ns. . There are some -oralnent facts which we must keep L. mind in all Bi ble study the Blhle Is the history of salvation; salvation Is of the Lord; salvation Is of the Jews; known unto God are nil Ills works from the begin ning of the world. lie worketh all things after the counsel of His own will', and the eternal purpose which He has purposed in Christ Jesus is that all the ends of the earth shall see the salvation of our God and the whole earth be filled with His glory. To that end He is steadily working, and in all the different parts of this book, which Is forever settled in heaven, we have some phase of the working out of this eternal purpose. The whole Bible story points onward to a time when "a king shall reign In righteousness, and the work of righteousness shall be peace" (Isa. xxxli, 1, 17). Our blessed Lord was always talking about this kingdom and giving samples of the power thnt would be manifest even in the bodies of His redeemed when the kingdom shall have come. Between His resurrection and ascension during those forty days lie spake of things pertaining to (he kingdom of God. In this discourse, spoken to His dis ciples probably in the hearing of the multitude. He describes the righteous ness which will be fully manifest on earth when the kingdom comes, a righteousness of the Ten Conimand , incuts, which He here teaches us re fers not only to outward acts, but to the thoughts and intents of the heart. He alone of all who have ever lived on earth mauifc.-Ued the righteousness of the law perfectly in His life. He could truly say, "1 delight to do Thy will, O my Ucd; yea, thy law Is within my heart" it's, si, St. Having no slu of His own. for He was without siu, He bare our slna in His own body ou the tree and became the end of the law for righteousness to every one that believeth (Horn, s, i; II Cor. v, 21). Anything less than the righteousness which was manifest In the Lord Jesus Christ cannot stand before God, and as no one is able per fectly to keep God's holy law It is written, "By the works of the law shall no flesh be justified." The law shuts our mouths concerning our own right eousness and points us to Christ that we may receive Him as the righteous ness of God most graciously provided for every sinner (Rom. ill, 19-24; Gal. II, 16; Hi, 24). Yet there are many in so called Christian lands, members of churches, who, being ignorant of God's righteousness, are ever going about to establish their own righteousness (Rom. z, 3). None of those can in any case euter into the kingdom of heaven (verse 20). According to James ii, 10, breaking one command breaks them all, for the Jaw Is one. From Rom. vii, 7, we infer that l'aul thought he had kept the Ten Commandments until in the light of the tenth he saw himself a sinner and guilty. Love is the ful filling of the law (Rom. xiii, 10), and as we can only manifest our love to God by our love to our fellows, there fore with the Lord Jesus Christ as our only example we must remember His words in John xv, 12, "Love one an other as I have loved you." Also in I John iv, 11, "Beloved, if God so loved us we ought also to love one another." When the Lord Jesus lives in us fully and His spirit has full control of us we will manifest even here lu this age the lovo that is kind to those who are unthankful and evil, who curse and bate and persecute and despitefully use ns. Any one can loveatbose who love them, but to love one's enemies is not possible to the natural man. As a poor Indian once said, "This Indian enn't do it; God must make a new In dian." 'When we have seen our guilt nnd that all our righteousnesses are only filthy rags and have truly receiv ed the Lord Jesus Christ, then we ore before God In Christ, and lie Is made unto ns wisdom, righteousness, sanctifl catlon and redemption (1 Cor. i, 30.) We are Justified freely by Ills grace, justi fied by faith, justified by His blood, and there Is no condemnation to them that are in Christ Jesus, but it Is all to the end that the righteousness of the law may be fulfilled In us who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. The light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ having shiued in our hearts, we must let the light shine through us to His glory that others may receive nim too. Verses 44, 45, do not teach us that by loving our enemies we become chil dren of God; but, having become His children by receiving Jesus Christ (John i, 12), we are manifestly such in the eyes of others only when we act ns such. We are not only sanctified, but perfected forever by the one great sac rifice of the Lord Jesus (neb. x, 10, 14), and now we are to walk not as others who are still In the world, but ever aiming at a more perfect manifesta tion to others of the love of God to ns, for if we love one another God dwell cth in us, nnd His love Is perfected in us nnd He is seen in us (I John Iv, 12). It Is oi:ly ns we understand Uu lung aon, which is righteousness nnd pence and joy In the Holy Ghost, that we can walk worthy of It (Hon), xlv. 17; I Thess. II, 12) nnd manifest in our lives ;he life of Him who when He was here in nis humiliation revealed the Father. Dwelling in Him we dwell In love, and His love will constrain us. Building a system of public High Schools In North Carolina. . J. Coltruue, Co. Superintendent of Schools. It is my firm belief that the State should provide adequate facilities for the thorough education of all its citiz-mp. Until very recently this provision has not been made by our own state, and indeed not altogether made yet, and after being thorough ly developed, will in a large meas. ue, complete the system for the education of the people. The ed ucation of its citizens is the chief business of a republic, and therefore it becomes necessary for every citi zen of the commonwealth in w ch we live to take active interest a everything which Jwill provide t opportunity for the highest devel optnent of every faculty which Qod has given to every child. In a public debate at the Ui i versity of North Carolina a few years ago a young orator very fluent ly declared that the Old North State had then made this adequate provision. In proof of his proposi tion the speaker showed that vast sums of money had been spent on the establishment and maintenance of the State University, the Agri. cultural and Mechanical College for young men, and the State Normal and Industrial College for yonng women; and also that the state had a system of elementary schools For some inscrutable reason the speakers opposing this proposition did not refute this argument and the judges decided that the State had provided sufficient educational facilities. How easy it would have been for the negative to have Bhown that the State had not made any provision for the great gap between the ordinary elementary school of seven grades and the college or uni versity! For it is evident that stu dents can not enter a college from the common schools without a great deal of preparatory work. This fact is well known to the colleges of the state. As a long stride in the comple tion of .its educational system the State of North Carolina, by the act of the General Assembly "of 1907, bridged this chasm between the el ementary school and the college by the creation of a system of public high schools. As is implied by the term "public," these high schools are open to all .the paople, just as the elementary school and the uni versity are open to all. This establishment of rural pub lic schools was the logical outcome of the recent rapid development of our elementary schools, which made tie beginning of this system im. perative. By virtue of the author ity vested in him, the State Super intendent of Public Instruction at once appointed a State Inspector of High Schools, and the work was be gun. There are usually many and serious,obstacles to be overcome in the institution of a new system, and the establishment of this new system of high echoola was no exception to the rule. However, during the first year 1907-1808, provision was made for the establishment of 156 State high schools in 81 counties of the state, and 3949 students were enrolled at once. The second year saw the es tablishment of 175 , of these state schools, and abont 6,000 students en rolled. Daring this present year, the third year of the existence of public high schools, practically 8,000 stu dentejwillbe enrolled in the 176 high schools now in successful operation. A reasonable view of the situation enables one to see that this system of schools, adequately provided for and properly directed, will be a tre mendious influence in the develop ment of the intellectual and indus trial life of tte state. Advantages of State High School. There are three sdvantages that must be derived from these public high schools. These results are not visionary , but are based upon the achievements of other States, and what has been accomplished in the North and West can be accom plished here by our own people. The schools of the East, especially those of Massachusetts, have long been held up as examples, but the time has come when the schools of Wisconsin and Indiana are examples of the best, and if the improvement could be made in"the West a genera tion ago, the time has come for the same thing here in our Southland. The first advantage of the.- high school is the opportunity afforded for higier self. development than can be secured in the elementary school. And they will furnish the means to hundreds and thousands of boys and girls, just at the age when they can be reached and lifted to higher ideals and aspirations. It is not my purpose to discourse the excellent work of private academies and church high schools, but as State Superintendent Joyuer says: 'Tbe task of placing high school instruction within reach of all the children of all people, irreepectivf- of creed or condition, is too great and loo complicated ever to be success fully performed by cbumb, private enterprise or philanthrophy. If per- formed at all, it must be by all the people supporting by uniform taxa tion a system of public high 'schools of sufficient number to be within reasonable reach of all children of every county and community, ufford ing equality of educational oppor tunity to all the children of a re public, of which equality of oppor tunity is the best principal." After a system of public high schools has been completed the church high school and the private high school will still find an import ant place in our educational system, but they can never reach the masses of the people. However many there may be who prefer the church or private high school, the main de pendence of the many for higher ed ucation must still be the public high school, supported by people and be longing to the people. Surely the friends of the church high school and the private academy will never undertake to say that all the people must get out of the way for a few of the people, and that the many pub lic high schools for all the people must get out of the way for a few private and church high schools that can, at best, reach but a few of the people. In this second place, these public high schools will open the doors of our higher institutions of learning to thousands of ambitious youths of slender means, thereby bridging the chasm between the elementary school and tbe college. This chasm has beetofore made higher training impossible to countless numbers of young men and women. The State needs more trained leaders and it must look to th" colleges and univer sity to supply the demand. To se cure these leaders, the colleges must go to the high schools. The establ ishment of tbese high schools, in stead of weakening the college, will be its greatest source of strength. And again, these high schools will be tha source of strength and in spirat:on to the educational work of theconnties and districts in which they are located. The history of education reveals the fact that we can never have an adequate syttein of elementary schools. It can also be Bbown that the colleges and uni versities must precede the high school. These high schools will benefit the common schools by furnishing an improved teaching force, and also by encouraging chil dren to remain in the elementary Bchool until the grades are completed whereas the great majority of them now drop oat and do not get even the benefits of the common 6chool. The Count? Syetem ol High School. - The law provides that not more than four public high schools in any one county shall receive State aid. It also provides that the maximum of State aid shall be $500, and the minimum $250. In order to make these State lands available, it is necessary for the local communities, in which the high schools are located, to raise an amount equal to the amount expected from the State. As a general rule the county con tributes an amount equal to the amount received from the State. In this way the four schools in each county are located. Of course geo graphical conditions and environ ment influence the location of each schools. Of this system of public high schools in each county one school will be selected and developed into a real first class central county high school, doing thorough high school work for four years. The work in tbe other high schools in the county will be correlated with the work in this central high school, and each county will thus have a system of its own, beginning with the central high schools, reacbingout to the ether smaller high schools in different parts of the county, and through these schools to the elementary schools. Of coarse it is expected that all these schools! will continue to receive State aid. In this way they will Btill be a part of the gen eral system of the State, and will be the great ftedeis for the colleges and universities of the State. Such a system can be developed in every county iu the State. What a Central County High School , Jtleaue. The first and foremost problem now is the development of this cen tral county high school on an exten sive plan. This proposition will re ceive immediate attention from the educational forces of the State. This will be fully equipped, will offer strong courses of study, and will be somewhat separate and distinct from the other rchools of the county. The coarse ot study will embrace the classics, the sciences and indus try. A greet deal of emphasis it being put upon agricultural training these days, and this central school willnft'uid the opportunity for such tiaimng. It would not be the plan to displace the literary courses of study, bnt rather to urraue two courses , for tbe last two years of work, one course offering thorough preparation for college to the frw students desiring such preparation, aud the other offering practical in dustrial and agricultural training to the large nu nber whose educatiou will end with the high school. It will be necessary to provide equip ment for practice work for the girls in cooking, domes ic science, house hold economics, etc., and arrange ments will also be made for boys to have training m agricultural sub jects. lhe state Inspector of High Schools says that this type school must come if the demands the present and the future are to met, and if the high school is to pos sess the strangth and the dignity, and importance that justly belongs to it. As these grow and develop there must come in connection with, one in each county the principal's, home, the mess hall and dormitory, and the sm til school farm. Arrange ments for the development of these plans have already jbeen made in a few counties and others are pre paring for the same thing. The principal's home in connec tion with a high school 'would pre. vent the annual shifting of the principal. If the principal feels that he has 'only a transient rela tion to a community, he is not go ing to develop the strong school that is demanded. The principal must stay in a school from year to year so as to give a permanent plan of organiza tion that the work may have con tinuity and be progressive. Unlesa a man is a fixture in a community for a few yecrs, at least,he is only a passing show, and no stable char acter is 'given to the work of his school. Of greater importance perhaps is the construction of dormitories and the acquisition of suitable lands for agricultural and industrial instruc tion. The dormitories would afford adequate boarding facilities in most cases, and for this valuable adjunct there is a great demand. Provision must be made for such arrangements where stronger schools are to be es tablished. Whenever it is under stood that the state has taken np the problem of secondary education with seriousness of purpose, it will be a comparatively easy matter to secure the money to erect these buildings, and also suitable lands for farming purposes, will be se cured. School for the Rural Population. Unless the eight-tenths of oar population, still living on the farm, are given some such plan as outlined above for their education, the State will fail to meet the conditions. For, after all, the hope, the strength, the salvation of a nation have gener- , ally been found in its country people and these people must have adequate educational facilities for their com plete development. Mr. Joyner, in writing on this subject says: ''If we would keep the best - of the country people in the country we mast find a way to bring the best of modern civilization into the country withont forcing the country people to leave the country to get it. We must find a way to shape our educat ion for couotty boys and girls more toward fitting them for mak ing life on the farm at least as pro fitable, as pleasing, as attractive and. as livable as life anywhere else." In brief, I have outlined a plan, the State is working towards. This system will not be completed at once, but in a few years every county in the State will have a complete j: , tern of secondary school f. These schools - will not only bridge the chasm between the elementary schools and college, but even better, they will prepare young men and young women for the duties and responsi bilities of life. Tht development of this plin will be a big undertaking for the State, but the. people of North Carolina are doing things these days, and they will not be lack ing in this paiticular field of educa. tional endeavor. Whenever this is done, North (.'.irohua v-ill place her self along side Wisconsin aad the other progressive States of the Mid dle West, and will, to an extensive degree, offer the facilities for the complete development of all the fac ulties o' '-yr young men aud young women.
