As they walked along, Jesus, possibly a little ahead of the oth ers. He told them that He should be killed by His enemies, and that He would rise again, but they did not seem to understand Him. They were busy talking among 'themselves. When they were in a house in Capernaum, and Jesus had seated Himself, He asked them “What was it that ye disputed among yourselves by the way?" They didn’t answer, because they were ashamed. They had been arguing as to who should be the greatest among them in the coming king dom which they expected to be established on earth. Jesus said to them, “If any man desire to be first, the same shall be last of aU. and servant of all.” Then as a little child ran to Him, He turned it so as to face the dis ciples and taking the little one in His arms, He 3aid, “Whosoever shall Veceive one of such children in my name, receiveth Me: and whosoever shall receive Me. re ceiveth not Me, but Him that sent Me.” John Changes the Subject To change the subject, probably because they were ashamed of their smallness, John told the Master that they had seen a man casting out devils in Christ’s name, and that they had forbidden him to do so. Jesus answered that this was wrong, “for there Is no •man which shall do a miracle in My name, that can lightly speak •evil of Me, for he who Is not for us is on our part.” Jesus then discoursed to His •disciples on the way to be truly saved. Even a cup of cold water given in His name would not go unrewarded. But one who would offend a Uttle child, “it were bet ter for <him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and he were cast into the sea.” It \vas fee*ter, Jesus said, to lose a hand, a foot, or an eye, if such were un righteous, to “enter into life maimed,” than to go to the hell whole. They next went to Judaea, and there the Pharisees came to Him and asked if it was lawful for a man to divorce his wife. Jesus re ferred them to the law of Moses, and said clearly, that marriage was a sacred union, and that •‘What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asun der.” The Jewish churchmen were divided on this subject, some wanting to make divorce easy; others being opposed to it. The women of the neighborhood brought their young children to Jesus to be blessed, but the dis ciples were annoyed and rebuked the mothers. Jesus was much dis pleased, and said to them, “Suffer the Uttle children to come unto Me. and forbid them not; for of such is the kingdom of God.” And He took them up in His arms and blessed them. A young man came running to Jesus, and kneeling"1 before Him, said; "Good Master, what shall I do that I may inherit eternal life?” Jesus told him to keep the commandments. “All these have I observed from my youth,” was the answer. Then, said Jesus, who loved this youth from his appear ance. “sell all thou hast and give to the poor.” Alas, this rich young man would not do so, and he went sadly away. Hard for Wealthy to Enter Heaven Jesus looked after him, saying to the disciples, “How hardly shall they that have riches enter into the kingdom of God. . . . It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God.” The disciples were astonished at this saying, but Jesus explained that they who loved the riches of this world, material wealth, more than God, could not hope for eter nal life. Jesus then told them What was in store for Him, how when they came to Jerusalem “the Son of man shall be delivered unto the chief priests, and unto the scribes; and they shall condemn Kim to death, and shall deliver Him to the Gentiles: “And they shall mock Him, and scourge Him, and shall kill Him; and upon the third day He shall rise again.” Even after this James and John asked Jesus if, when they came to the kingdom, one could sit cm His right hand and the other on His left. “Can you drink of the cup that I drink of? and be baptized with the baptism that I am bap tized with?” He asked. They said they could, and indeed every one of them suffered martyrdom in one form or another. Even then, said Jesus, “to sit on My right hand and on My left hand Is not mine to give; but it shall be given to them for whom it is prepared,” for “even the Son of men came not to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give His life a ransom for many.” GLANCING BACK AT BREVARD -♦ Taken from the filet of The Sylvan Valley News, beginning 1895 (From the file of Nov., 1906) By the marriage last week of J. E. Cox, of the Brevard firm of Mitchell & Cox, to Miss Sue Hod ges, of Greenville county S. C., Brevard becomes the home on an other young and enterprising busi ness man. While many Transyl vania boys seek their fortunes by locating in foreign fields outside the state, Mr. Cox demonstrates his confidence in the future of our town by locating among the people of his nativity. Rev. M. V. B. Lankford, of Geor gia, has been visiting his old home and friends in Transylvania the past week, and left Tuesday for Chattanooga, Tenn., where he has two sons in business. It has been six years since Mr. Lankford was a visitor here, and the many im provements were a surprise to him. L. B. Houston came over from Greenville Wednesday night and was entertained at the bachelor residence of J. W. McMinn. Wm. E. Breese has a senatorial toga which he seems quite proud of. It’s a girl born last Thursday, too late for publication last week. We were pleased to meet Miss Arra Lankford at the store of G. M. Glazener in Hendersonville Tuesday, where she has a position. A very interesting and successful protracted meeting at Enon closed last week. Rev. E. Allison, who had been an important factor in the success of the meeting, received a “pounding” which amounted to $15. Mrs. A. E. Boardman has return ed to her beautiful Brevard home after a lengthy European touring. The editor has been having some dental work done by Dr. Allen of Hendersonville. He is dis posed to follow the advice that he gives others—patronize those who advertise. Our electric light has been the light that failed two nights this week, whether from a shortage of coal or from other cause. There should surely be a water power behind the electric current. Mrs. E. S. English, who has been very sick the past two weeks, is again back at her millinery store ready to serve her many friends. Our various building enterprises make the town look like it was booming sure enough. And the pretty part about it is that the buildings now under way are not the end of the boom. There are others in sight. The recent arrivals abong stu dents at Brevard Institute are Carl and Harold Hardin, and Mills, Cunningham, Kilpatrick and Ham lin as local students. The boarders are Misses Smith, Drum, Cook, Denkins, Blackwell and Patton. RITES FOR MRS. OWEN HELD LAST FRIDAY P.M. Funeral service was held last Friday afternoon at the Davidson River church for Mrs. Oliver Owen, 31, of near Brevard, who died in the local hospital the previous Wednesday night. The service was conducted by Rev. B. W. Thom ason, pastor of the Brevard First Baptist church. Burial was in the church cemetery. # Surviving are the husband; three children, Betty, Wilma and James Owen, of Brevard, route 2; four brothers Ernest Cooper, of Trav elers Rest, S. C.; Clarence, Alvin and R. V. Cooper, of Penrose; one sister, Mrs. Annie Mae Huff, of Marietta, Ga.; the parents, Mr. and Mrs. Sam Cooper of Penrose. Osborne-Simpson funeral direc tors were in charge. GOP WILL MEET IN CHARLOTTE MAR. IS L. P. Hamlin, A. E. Hampton, Ralph Fisher and Ed McCoy at tended the Lincoln Day dinner in Winston last Friday night and al so the Lincoln Day dinner in Asheville.

Slightly more than a billion pounds of food and other agricul tural products were delivered for lend-lease shipment last November bringing the total to 10% billion pounds for the first 11 months of 1943. Farmers produced it all, and will save many American lives as a result $315,575 WORTH - FROM PAGE ONE - eighteenth judicial district, who was the guest speaker for the rally, was introduced by Ralph Ramsey, civilian defense chairman, who said that Judge Pless was “a local boy who has gone far and high since leaving Transylvania.” Expressing the belief that bond rallies were the finest demonstra tion possible to illustrate what we are fighting for, Judge Pless brought out the idea that no coun try among our enemy nations has the freedom to invest in their gov ernment. “We’re not asked to give all— just a substantial part;” the well known judge said. “We should want to back up the men who make 100 per cent sacrifice in the form of youth, health and lives.” In discussing the supposed opti mism in this country, Judge Pless declared, “All we have to do is look at our maps to see that this war is no where near over. No, it isn’t over! And it won’t be until Americans buckle down and give these boys on the fighting front the support to which they are en titled.” Large purchases at the rally were as follows: Ecusta $200,000; Silversteen Industries, $40,000; Duke Power Company, $20,000; Pisgah Mills, $15,000; Wheeler Hosiery, $5,000; Carr Lumber Company, $5,000 and Transylvania Pipe Company, $5,000. Talks were also made by J. S. Silversteen and Raymond Bennett. Hubbard Infant Buried Last Week Funeral service was held Wed nesday afternoon, Feb. 9, for Wal ton Hubbard, one-week-old-son of Mr. and Mrs. Alton Hubbard, who died at the home of his parents in the East Fork section the pre ceding day. The service was held at the Hubbard home and burial was in Big Hill cemetery. Rev. Cleveland Reece conducted the service. Pallbearers were Ferrell Queen, Freeman Patterson and Glenn Owen. Boy Scout Troop Number Two Here Is Quite Active One of the outstanding Boy Scout troops in Brevard is troop number 2, sponsored by the Bre vard Baptist church, with W. A. Hart as scoutmaster and Fritz Merrill as assistant scoutmaster. The roster of this troop was in advei*ffently left out of the paper last week. Members of the troop committee are L. P. Hamlin, Mel vin Gillespie, Karl Bosse, and Harold Norwood. The membership of the troop is as follows: Jason Orr, senior patrol leader; Douglas Brown, juior assistant scoutmaster; Wil liam Thomason, patrol leader; Perry Hamlin and Fred McCall, patrol leaden;; Bill Brittain, Ed win Edwards, Bill Faulkner, Roy Garren, Charles Hampton, Joe Poole, Phillip Price, Alfred Weiss, Richard E. Bryant, Harold Houck, Bobby Martin and Edward Mc Gaha. THE VOICE OF THE RED CROSS We are well into the third week in February and as yet many of you have not answered our plea for Red Cross workers. We have looked for every one of you, and hoped that surely you could squeeze into your busy schedule at least three hours a week for the Red Cross during this month. Our hopes to reach our quota have been reduced to a state of doubt. From all sides we are con fronted by excuses—excuses that seem quite shallow in these grim, dark days of a war-torn world. And as some of you go gaily about your pleasures, seemingly unaware of how badly you are needed for Red Cross work, we are using every method conceivable to bring you to a realization of actual facts. Our greatest attendance so far comes from the very young, the Girl Scouts and the high school students. These girls are spending many hours at the Red Cross and while there they work earnestly POST PLANNING TO ERECT HOME Group Named To Provide Entertainment For Sol diers On Leave The local post of the American legion at a well-attended meeting held Tuesday evening authorized the appointment of a committee of five to raise funds to erect a home for the post after building restric tions have been removed. The group will be named later by the commander, William Wallis. J. A. Crisp, service officer of the post, spoke on the benefits to be derived from the veteran’s ad minstration and the post voted to send him and Ike M. Ayers to a school to be held either in Raleigh or Fayetteville soon at which more information relative to these bene fits will be detailed. The local post, according to J. M. Gaines, adjutant, is taking the lead in assisting men recently re leased from the service in getting their mustering-out pay. A committee consisting of Ray Bennett, Howard Wyatt and Ralph Fisher was appointed to arrange entertainment for soldiers here on leave or who may have a few hours’ wait in Brevard. A special price of 20 cents has already been ob tained on theatre tickets, Mr. Gaines said. and diligently. Could it be possible that these young girls are more war-conscious than some of the adult generation? Their time is valuable, too, perhaps their hours even more golden, but they are giving many of them each week. Won’t you? A short time ago we ran across the following words, that are oh so true now and as you read them let them sink slowly into your thoughts and consider if you are spending your time and energy in a useful manner. “Count that day lost whose low descending sun, Views from thy hands no worthy action done.” —An Interested Worker. ••0 VICTORY ON THE HOME FRONT Q< News From Home Demonstration Clubs And Women’s Activities | HtHMIlliiaiiiiMiHiiiiiuillllimHinMilMIIMIIIimQ SCHEDULE OF MEETINGS Monday, February 21st—Brevard Home Demonstration club will meet with Mrs. Fritz Straus at 3:30 p. m.
