Coinciding with Gannett s personal declara tion out in the western state, his company, the Gannett Company. Inc., in New ork on the same dav reported to stockholders a consoli dated net profit of $1,302,320 for 1939. a gain of S136.904 over the preceding year. The net was after all charges. Preferred stock dividends were earned three times, compared with two nnrh six'teirth-tnnwh JH.1.93S... lt is puzzling to understand how such peo ple as Gannett complain when they are so fa vored, and why. farmers, workers and the other poor fellows don't complain more at the scant recognition they are receiving The Explaining Mr. Unitey is nie same old?ttt?Dai ley?in. the United States Senate who finds little time for work for must devote turns in the august body's voting records. His latest escapade centers around the Hatch Bill or the "clean politics' bill.'Opposing the meas ure. the senator states that Mr Hatch and oth er supporters of the bill would tear down state rights and thwart liberty Possibly the Hatch bill has its defects, but Un people are interested in any bill that tends to rub a little soap into the eyes of politics. The voters can't understand why a proposal to re move .federal-paid workers from the field of active political campaigning would subject them to a strict federal control. Remembering past campaigns in this State, one wonders if the present! personnel in Wash ington would not have been of a different color had the Hatch bill been in effect and clean poli tics had surrounded the ballot count some years agtr?" But Mr. Bailey goes ahead explaining his op position to the measure, and wondering why Ins c<mstituent-y doubts his actions and his ex planations. It is difficult to understand just what the sen ator means, but somewhere at the bottom of it not want public-paid men or women denied the right to get out and work for him when the time comes for that race. Pass the Hatch bill and you will place North Carolina at the mercy of politicians from the North and West and some Bureaus fhat know nothing about the State and care nothing about it. Mr. Bailey says in substance. To quote the senator, "We now control our policy with re gard to the manufacture and sale of intoxicat ing liquors. How long would we have control, if the principle of this new Hatch Act is sound?" It is encouraging to know that "we" control our policy with regard to the manufacture and sale of intoxicating liquors. The senator must think he is from the great Bourbon-State of Kentucky, for there is no liquor manufactured in the sight of the law in North Carolina. And yet "we" con trol its manufacture. It is a known fact that North Carolina is buying a large percentage of the liquor pouring out of Kentucky, but not until Mr. Bailey told us did we know that Gov ernor Hoey and his dear friend, Mr. Cutlar where the blue grass grows and where they ] have blue blood in their veins. As far as contrpl Itng liquor sales in North Carolina, it must be | admitted that the State has a pretty dog-gone good system of holding the red noses of liquor imhiherv to the grinding stone Honk_? seven per cent gross sales tax on anything and you reafly can control a monster bv a little twist of the tail. And then the senator, further explaining his goody-goody position as the self-claimed bellow ing champion of the people's rights, takes a fling at some work attempted by the federal govern ment in bringing relief to business that was | vomiting up the rotten policies of the Hoover regime back in 1933. It is remembered that our Ml. Bailey fought Ih.i ...nr|t| >rKj nmnf ly points out the failures, the very failures that he helped to create. "We had Federal control once in North Caro lina," Mr. Bailey points out with an apparent degree of horror The people don't remember much about the control, but they do remember the relief that was theirs, and today they will j swap the rotten control held by a strong poli 1 tical gang over the voters of North Carolina for : most anything Mr. Hatch has to offer. Or hasn't the political gang recovered from the fight of [ four years ago" But Mr Bailey can explain it all. He sees red in Washington while North Carolinians see white. But we arc color blind, Mr. Bailey will explain in reconciling all colors of the rainbow and proving how perfect he is and how wrong every fellow is who voted for him f firmer* Hurt- Opportunity To Help T hem Helves Favored in recent years by a thoughtful gov ernment. Martin County farmers can help them selves by planting a single-variety cotton. The undertaking is very simple and will necessitate no additional cost. It will require a common agreement, and in years past common agree ments among farmers have been limited in number, and it is likely that there'll be a few growers who will frown upon the plan just be cause they want to be different, contrary or obstinate. It is believed that a vast majority of Martin farmers will favorably consider the plan, and cooperate with it in an effort to do something If farmers are really interested "in larmersT" they can get a few seed for test purposes and help advance the movement for a one-variety cotton. 1 his is not absolutely necessary as ten tative arrangements have already been made for conducting several tests. It is vitally neces- I sary, however, for farmers of this county to get together and put the plan into effect in 194] Other sections of the State have adopted a single-variety staple, and they are now receiv ing a premium for their cotton. Martin farmer should wake up to me opportunity of getting a premium for their staple. l\'ot Guilty Charlotte News. Tops in disingenousness. however, is the fol lowing passage from the report of the Repub lic an pi . g am committee headed by Glenn Frank: Here are typical items in the balance sheet of results as they stood in the late summer of 1939, when conditions reflected the effect of New Deal policies . . . 1 More than 10.000,000 American unemploy ed 2. A lower standard of living than a decade ago. 3. The creation of new enterprise virtually at a standstill. 4 Labor involved in costly and extensive dis putes. ?). Farm prices neither stable nor-satisfactory, and the basic problem of agriculture no nearer solution. The plain implication of all this is that the New-Deal policies-are-directly and solely tcr - blame for it all. And that just happens not to be so. v\ hen did the nation begin to have 10,000 000 or more than 10,000,000 unemployed? It began to have them in the first year of t^e Hoover Ad ministration. it had them fully (and with a good many more) by 1932, at the end of twelve years of Republican rule. And is there anybody foolish enough to be lieve that farm prices were satisfactory in 1932? Or that the standard of living in that year was higher than it is in 1940? Or that the creation of new enterprise was not at a much greater stand still than at present? Or that strikes weren't all over the place" And rioting hunger mobs? The New Deal may justly be taxed with hav ing spent staggering sums of money without solving these problems, after it had confident ly promised to do it. But it certainly did not create the problems. And the effort to make it appear so cynically assumes that the Amer ican people are fools without any memory at Senator Taft refers to the South as a "fro: tier. At Chicago the politicos are liable to agr< that it is a "problem." Turnage Theatre ? Washington, N.

So Jesus dispatched Peter and John, saying. 'Go and pre I pare for us that we may eat it.' TTiey ; asked Him, 'Where do you want us I u> prepare iit ha laid to them, 'When you enter the city you will meet a man carrying a water-jar; follow him ; to the house he enters, and tell the owner of the house. 'The Teacher asks you, where is the room in which I can eat the passover with My dis ciples?' Then he will show you a large room upstairs with couches spread; make your preparation there. They went off and found it as He had told them. So they prepared the passover, and when the hour came He took His place, with the apostles l>eside Him. He said to them, 'I have longed eagerly to meet this pass over with you before I suffer, for I "tell you T win never eat the passov er again till the fulfilment of it in the Heign of God.' And He took a cup which was handed to Him, gave thanks to God and said: 'Take this and distribute it among yourselves, for I tell you I will never drink the produce of the vine again till such a time as God's Reign comes.' Then He took a loaf and alter thanking God He broke it and gave it to them. | saying. 'This means my body given up for your sake; do this in memory of Me.' So too, He gave them the cup after supper, saying, 'This cup means the new covenant ratified by My blood shed for your sake.' " Luke 22 7-2(1 Moffatt's Translation. In our discussion of this third pil Ixrrof Christianity we shall not be come involved in a theological or controversial discussion of the Lord's Supper. As we look at the history or setting for the institution of this ordinance we see the Lord Jesus thinking of His disciples and the hardships that must be* immed iately endured, and He is desirous i for them having some tangible sym I bol by which in partaking of would I identify them with the cause of God ! in the world. ' Tlirough participating iri'tfiis com ; inunion is-offered an opportunity to reaffirm one's faith in the abiding principles of righteousness and per petuates the fact of Jesus' coming again to the earth. Too, this commun ion brings the consciousness of His presence at the table spread in. His name and honor. Jesus in instituting "The Lord's Supper," took a loaf of bread and af ti.*r blessing it, broke it and gave it to the disciples, saying, "Take and eat, this is My body." The one loaf .Himself. That as bread is the univer sal need of all men to the satisfying of physical hunger, so should He be to the spirit's need in like manner after blessing a cup He passed it to Hu disciples, saying. "This is My blood that is shed for the sins of the world " Here in the drinking of the cup is symbolised the sacrifice by which He would redeem the world. His disciples then and now would be come identified with Him in what ever sacrifices might be involved in reclaiming the world for God. This tie would bind all who share in a common hope and fellowship, en courage them to put on "the whole armor of God" and remain active and vital, linio the very end. Dr. Lynn H Hough in his book "Evan gelical Humanism" says something of Paul that is appropriately true of every Christian, if he translate into his living the high moments of com munion with his Lord about the ta ble. Says he. "Paul became the most vital man in the Roman Empire. Ha had a somewhat definite ayatem of thought, for his mind was, by nature and discipline, orderly, but it was his vitality which triumphed as he traveled about the Mediterranean Sea Men might have resisted his ar guments. Thev could not resist the light in his eye. They could not re sist the joy which throbbed in his voice. They could not resist the tri umph which glowed in his face. They could not resist the dauntless cour age of his activity. They could not resist the quenchless zeal of his per sonality. They could not resist the shining goodness of his character." What a challenge is thrust to us mod ern Christians to let the communion experience flow into our thinking and color our every relationship. Where the power of the commun ion might be released through our living, what a force for goodness and what a straightening of life's crook ed lanes. When the great Ecumenical gath ering of churchmen from 59 nations met in Edinburgh, representing ev ery religious faith of Christiandom, save the Roman Catholicj, men for got denominational biases, and they sat down about the table of the Lord, as brethren, realizing that here was tin hidden meat that gave strength to the whole body of Christ. This was emblematic of what we hope is not a far distant day, when we (the church) shall be so impelled by the shes.'r.BQw.er.otClu"i!Aian service and loyalty to Jesus Christ that His High Priestly prayer may be realized and practiced by His followers. Some time ago I read a little story about Communion that suggested something it seemed worth of re membering. The story goes thSt, "The heathen refresh their loyalty to their gods Do you know of the Hindu red mark of the god? A little Bengali girl was presiding one night at a Junior Clun tian Endcuvoi met ting in Cal cutta, India, says Rev. Herbert Hal liwell, former Christian Endeavor sci-lTtarv?m -this country, -She was CHURCH NEWS SMITHWICK'S CREEK Elders H. P. Vass and Leonard Mabe will conduct special Easter ser vices at Smithwick's Creek Church Sunday at 11 o'clock. twelve years old. At Ihe close of the meeting a man drove up in a car nage and took her away. It was her a?) wedding day. and this was her hus band. He was fifty, she was twelve. After that, morning by morning, he would take her to the Hindu tem ple and have the red mark of the god painted afresh on her forehead. In her heart she loved Christ, and that love remained. If it is necessary to have the red mark of a god freshened up every day, how much more necessary is it to freshen in our hearts our devo tion to our Saviour. As the heathen worshipper seeks paint for the brow let us seek the mark of God for the soul. That mark is love, charity, gen tleness, service. By jlhete shall all men know that we-'are His disciples Everywhere around us is noise and bustle and selfishness. We see the marks of man. How good it is to rec ognize tlie mark of God Tlie eommunion service is a time wlten we make that recognition.' Let us come to this Lord's table. Let us keep coming, prolonging our love and loyalty and consecration Surely if we as Christians forsake not the assembling of ourselves about the "Table of our Lord" the ideology of His cause will encompass our souls, heighten our zeal and per vade our entire moral structure. May we, like Isaiah, be enabled to catch the vision of service while His spir it fills the temple in which we wor ship and in the temple of our souls.
