LATE STATE CAPITOL NEWS Review of the Latest News Gathered Around the State Capitol That Will Be of Interest to Our Readers Over North Carolina. Raleigh. Mr. Santford Martin, editor of the Winston-Salem Journal, will be private secretary to Governor Bickett when the latter is inagurated in January, ac cording to announcement made by Mr. Bickett. For weeks, it has been the current report that the Winston-Salem newspaper man would be the next pri vate secretary. The announcement of his appointment did not come, there fore, as a very great surprise. Mr. Martin was in Raleigh recently. Then, he steadfastly refused to com mit himself in regard to the office. Governor-elect Bickett, thus follows the precedent of his two direct prede cessors. Governors Kitchin and Craig, each of whom selected a newspaper man for private secretary. The death of Col. J. H. Kerr, private secretary to Governor Craig, caused the vacancy in the office which gave rise to the appointment of Miss May Jones, first woman to hold that office in the his tory of the state. Editor Santford Martin has had newspaper experience as news writer and editor and has dipped into politics with good effect. He was one of the staunch supporters of Governor-elect i Bickett in the primary campaign and in the general election. This, it is understood, completes the office force for the new Governor. Mrs. Hattie Gay, of Goldsboro, who has been Mr. Bickett's secretary while he has been attorney general, will be executive clerk, while Miss Mamie Turner, now stenographer in Governor Craig's office, will remain in that ca pacity. State Officials Glad of Prospects. State officials and their employs were interested in the announcement that a move would be made in the ap proaching general assembly for an in crease in their salaries. The letter of Mr. A. II. Arlington to the legislators i appealing for higher salaries for state officers and employes on account of increased costs of living received1 favorable comment. The officers and employes are agreed that the living costs have increased 40 per cent in the last ten years and that an addition to their salaries would not be a bit ; unwelcome. ! The general rumor that Governor j Craig would recommend a sweeping ! increase in salaries of state officials i and employes from Governor down I was accepted heartily. Governor Craig, j however, declined to comment either j way upon the rumor, declaring in ef i feet that he would not consider giving j ont the contents of his message or any j part of it until it was presented to the j general assembly. The feeling that prevailed in state j circles was that the legislature would i be called upon, in the very first days j of the session ,to make provision for ; increase in salaries so that all may j receive benefit from the increase upon 1 entry into their new terms of office.

O. SELLERS Acting Director of the Sunday School Course In the Moody Bible Institute of Chicago.) (Copyright, 1 'J 1 7 . Western Newspaper Union.) LESSON FOR JANUARY 7 JESUS THE LIGHT AND LIFE OF MEN. The studies for the first six months of this year are devoted to the gospel of John; the remaining portion of the yeur to II Kings, Ezra and Nehemiah, being a study with the prophets One year from now we begin the new "graded uniform lessons" recently adopted by the reorganized Interna tional Lesson committee. John was younger than his brother, James, and lived to be the oldest of the apostles, dylug somewhere between A. D. 95 and 93. His name means "Peace," though he is surnamed the "son of thunder" (Mark 3:17). Five of the New Testament books bear his name. He blended the gentleness of a dove with the force and vision of an eagle." The purpose of his gospel Is clearly stated (ch. 20:31). Only about 8 per cent of it Is found In the other . thpp cnsnpla S(ventv-slr tlmps th - - -rf 41J . , . occurs name "Jesus" 240 times. I. The Word (vv. Words utter thoughts; a word Is an expression of an Inaudible and Invisible thlngt As the Word, Christ Is Creator (ch. 14 :9 ; 8:19), he Is the source of light. "The word heard; the life Is God felt, and the light Is God seen" Moody. This eternally existing person Is called the Word because In him God fully ex presses or reveals himself. The Bible Is the written word because lu It God speaks and reveals himself through this person who is the eternal Word (Heb. 1:3). The first verse brings out the fact that there are at least two persons In the Godhead, the one divine person In company with whom the i wora was. ana me wora, nimseir, was uoa ; mat is, was aiso a aivine per son. He who by his incarnation be came our brother and our savior was first our creator and the creator of all things, and apart from him not any thing came into existence. The Word did not become the light of men by hks incarnation in Jesus of Nazareth. He was ever the Light of Men. The light that shone in the Old Testament time shone from him. When sin came, night came. II The Witness (vv. 6-10). John the Baptlzer came for a witness. He was not the light. Some might have thought him to be the promised Mes siah. This he denied. He was a lamp which held forth light to men concern ing the true light "which lighteth every man that cometh Into the world." He reflected light (v. 8). John told all that he knew. Testimony will expand as experience enlarges. The spoken word of man must confirm the experi ence of the word la our lives. John was a wonderful man, a man whom God delighted to honor, but he was a man. Men are not asked to believe blindly, but always upon an abundance : ot testimony. III. The World (vv. 11-14). This' world was created by Jesus, and throughout Its existence he has been ' In the world, though the world knew him not. This living light had been coining into the world, and was not fully come until he was manifest to Israel at the baptismal act of John. In order to be made manifest the "Word was made flesh" In the person of Jesus. The world did not apprehend the light (v. 5) nor did the world which he was in and which was made by him (v. 10). Even his own people, literally his own household servants, I. e. Israel, received him not to themselves, but whoever receives him, even the vilest sinner of earth, and takes him Into his heart to be all Jesus desired to be, sa vior, lord, teacher, friend, that Instant he becomes a child of God. We cannot attempt to explain this mystery. The union of spirit and body was in one person, a sample fact ; though unex 1 lalned, still true. The union of God with a human body, forming one per son, Christ Jesus, sometimes spoken of separately, sometimes as a whole, sometimes as divine, sometimes as hu man. We cannot divide his activities Into two sections and say this Is divine and this is human ; they are inexpli cably blended Into one. This Christ realiy dwelt among us. He did not merely appear to some persons, or come in a vision, and yet his abode among us was only temporary, only a few years, and we beheld his glory, the glory of the only begotten Son. The world expected a Messiah and his own creation, his own Inheritance received him not, rejected him, opposed him, crucified him, their lord, savior, king and messiah. Those who received him and believed on his name became sons. To be a child of God we must be born into the nature and character of God, into his spiritual life. We are members of his family. We are heirs of all things through him, his joy, his love, his character and his blessing and the privileges of work ing for him and with him. We become heirs by being born of God, not of blood, physical descent nor inheritance, for the best of parents cannot bestow-jl this gift upon their children. Not by our own efforts or exertions nor the will of the flesh, not by the will of men, through wisdom and man's highest powers of Intellect, but of God, Shoot at a Magazine with a Black Shell and count the pages penetrated.

Electrotherapy is a great field In which there are unlimited possibilities for the application of electririty. High frequency currents especially have a great future. The time Is bouud to come when this form of electrical en ergy will be on tap in every private residence, Nikola Teslu writes in Col lier's. It is possible that we may be able to do' away with the customary bath. The cleaning of the body can be in stantaneously effected simply by con necting it to a source of electric energy of very high potential, which will re sult in the throwing oil' of dust or any small particles adhering to the skin. Such a bath, besides being dry and time saving, would also be of beneficial therapeutic influence. New electric devices that will be a blessing to the deaf and blind are com ing. Trench Descriptions Vivid. The soldier is not usually a man of words, but he can string them together very effectually at times, and some of his similes would not disgrace our American cousins, past masters though they are in the art of picturesque and vivid phrasemaking.
