Lesson
By Rev. Charles E. Darn
THE CHRISTIAN AND HIS BIBLE
Lesson for Oct. 14th. Acts 8:26-39
Golden Text: Psalm 119-97
The story of Philip and the Ethio
pian is very appealing. The picture
tof the eunuch seated In his chariot
reading the prophecy of Isaiah,
with the apostle beside him in the
act of interpretation, appeals strong
ly to one's imagination.
Now many folk today are quite
as puzzled when they read the Bible
as was this Zthlopian. Their prob-,
lem may be stated as follows. "Why
should we go to the Bible for guid
| ance, a book written centuries ago
when life was so vastly different?
Why not face our perplexities head
on, with, our own vigor of mind and
soul?"
Prof. Mary Lyman, of Union Sem
inary, has given an effective ans
wer. She points out that the Bible
has the advantage over contempo
rary culture in that it presents the
issues of life in a simple and vivid
form. Our age is enormously con

Observation
and Comment
By F. O. Carver, Jr.
Not all the fighting, pro nor con,
is-done on the floor of the House
of Representatives when It comes
to passing important leglsaltion.
Nor is It all done in Washington,
U we can believe newspaper ac
counts of the encounter between
congressman Bob Doughton and
one J. 8. Blalock .on the streets of
Albemarle last Thursday.
Is the NRA headed for the rocks?
Donald Richberg, new chief sup
planting General Johnson, labels as
un ''irredeecent dream" the belief of
some industrialists that permanent
prosperity pan come through the
price-fixing, production - curtailing
method, and advises a return to the
fused and complicated. In 3ible
times folk lived and thought more
directly and naturally than they do
now. It is a genuine help to begin
with a simple, clear outlook of the
Good Book.
Then, .too, the Bible is essentially
picturesque and,dramatic. We.can
easily agree with Mrs. Lyman that
pictures and drama are more con
vincing than argument, however
skilful. Think of the amazing 'suc
cess of the Negro Bible play, "The
Green Pactures," which ran for o
full year and a half in New York
before packed houses.
And we must remember that the
Bible, in striking fashion, combines
successfully the particular and the
universal. Although written thou
sands of years ago from an entirely
different background from that of
today, it is as fresh and timely as
ever.
Let us then learn to love the Book
of Life until we can say with a full
heart our Golden Text, "O how love
I thy law! It is my meditation all
the day."
Why Hospitals Use
a Liquid Laxative
Hospitals and doctors have always
used liquid laxatives. 4nd the public
is fast returning to laxhtives in liquid
form. Do you know the reasons?
The dose of a liquid laxative can be
measured. The action can thus be
regulated to suit individual need. It
forms no habit; you need not take a
"double dose" a day or two later.
Nor will a mild liquid laxative irritate
the kidneys.
The right dose of a liquid laxative
brings a more natural movement, and
there is no discomfort at the time, or
after. *?"
The wrong cathartic may often do
more harm than good.
A properly prepared liquid laxative
like Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin
brings safe relief from constipation.
It gently helps the average person's
bowels "until nature restores them to
regularity. Dr. Caldwell's Syrup
Pepsin is an approved liquid laxative
which all druggists keep ready for
use. It makes an ideal family laxa
tive; effective for all ages, and may
be given the youngest child.

change in policy means that the end

things are apparent: 1. The codes
of fair competition have done much
to restore a degree of prosperity to

thing of a more permanent nature

Even the selling of this year's to- 1
bacco crop has its funny side. 'In
, 1932 if tobacco averaged as much
as twelve cents in a day's sale the
warehouseman was, to a degree,
pleased. In 1933 if it averaged as
j much as twenty cents he couldn't
keep from grinning all over him
self when he talked about if And
, just the other day we were talking
,to a warehouseman and in the
! course of-our conversation we asked
him what his house averaged for
that day's Sale. His reply was that
he didrit do so good because his av
erage was just a little better than

folks never seem to be satisfied, but
the higher tobacco gets, the nearer
