BOND ISSUE TO BE MARKETED
State Treasurer B. R. Lacy, Takes Is.
sue with the Council of State.
Raleigh. With State Treasurer B.
R. Lacy emphatically voting in the
negative, the Council of State deter
mined to proceed with the issuance
and sale of $500,000 bonds for the
state's educational and charitable in
stitutions as provided by the last leg
islature in its six-year building pro
gram. The action of the Council of
State followed the conference with the
heads of the institutions and the build
ing commission. The sentiments of
the institution heads were embodied
in a resolution which was submitted
to the Council of State and adopted.
The resolution itself was signed by
Dr. Robert H. Wright, of ' the East
Carolina Teacher Training School; Dr.
I. B. McBrayer, superintendent of the
State Sanatorium; Dr. J. I. Foust, pres
ident of the State Normal at Greens
boro; Dr. E. K. Graham, president of
the University of North Carolina; Dr.
W. C. Riddick, president of the State
College of Agriculture and Engineer

the Central Hospital for the Insane;
Dr. John McCampbell, superintendent
of the Western Hospital for the In
sane at Morganton; Prof. J. T. Alder
man, acting superintendent of the
State School for the Blind and Deaf;
Dr. W. W. Faison, superintendent of
the Goldsboro Hospital, and C. E.
Boger.
The institution heads and the Coun
cil of 'State by endorsement of the
resolution, "believe that the State of
North Carolina is abundantly able and
willing to take care of Its institutions
in the medorate degree provided by
this act, and at the same4time bear
her full share of her war responsibil
ities." Highest Birth Rate.
Raleigh. North Carolina tops the
list of registration states with the
highest birth rate recorded. According
to Dr. J. B. Gordon, state registrar,
our birth rate for 1916 was 31.9 per
thousand population while the latest
published federal report for 1915
shows Connecticut and Michigan tie
ing for second honors with a rate of
only 26.7.. Another very surprising
thing to many people according to Dr.
Gordon, will be to learn from North
Carolina's vital statistics that our
white birth rate is 32.2 per thousand
whites as against only 31 per thous
and for the colored population. , The
fact that our white birth rate Is higher
than our colored rate is found to con
form to the findings In every other
registration state in the Union.
, A still more striking finding is that
while North Carolina has a high birth
rate we also have a low death rate,
only 13.0 per thousand population for
1916. In analyzing the death rate Dr.
Gordon finds that the white death rate
is much lower than the colored rate.

18. SENIOR AND ADULT TOPIC Vision
and service.
The hopes of the disciples were
crushed when Christ announced his
death on the cross. They were unable
to see how victory could Issue from
death. Jesus took with him Peter,
James and John, and went into the
mountain apart by themselves. Ac
cording to Luke, they went there to
pray (Luke 9:28). While, doubtless,
he longed for fellowship and sympathy
as the shadows of the cross were fall
ing upon him, his chief desire was to
get the disciples apart and Into a state"
of receptivity, so that he might show
them the methods of the kingdom. Be
fore going into the mountain, he de
clared that there -fre some standing
in his presence who would not taste of
death till they had seen the kingdom
of God come with power (v. 1). That
their drooping spirits might be revived
.and their confidence restored, he was
transfigured before them. The disci
ples sorely needed such a vision. If
the faith of the disciples was to be
kept through the dark hour of the
cross which was looming large before
them the light of the eternal must
beam forth. The disciple now, ns
then, needs a glimpse of the glory be
yond the cross in order to face the is
sues of the hour.
I. Jesus Christ Glorified on the
Mountain (vv. 2, 3). He took his dis
ciples "by themselves" and was "trans
figured before them." This shows the
purpose terminated upon the disciples
and not upon himself. Christ's rebuke
of Peter for his unwillingness to hear
concerning his death apparently for a
ttiu estranged the disciples from him.
To heal this breech, an unusual trans
action was required. His "shining rai
ment" was typical of that glory which
shall be manifest when he comes back
to the earth.
II. Peter, James and John Repre
sent Israel in the Flesh in Connectfe
With the Kingdom (v. 2). Christ Is
peculiarly the King of Israel. Accord
ing to Ezekiel 37:21-27, they are to be
the central people in the kingdom.
This people shall be gathered from
among the nations, united as one in
that kingdom In their own country.
III. Moses and Elias Appeared in
Glory With Jesus (vv. 4-13). These men
In the gloriified state are typical of the
state of the saints in glory. Moses,
who was once denied an entrance to
Palestine, appears now In glory, repre
senting the redeemed of the Lord who
shall pass through death into the king
dom. The thousands of the Lord who
have fallen asleep, at Christ's coming
shall be awakened and pass into the
kingdom through translation. Many
shall be living upon the earth when
the Lord shall come, and they, with
out dying, shall be changed and pass
into the kingdom (1 Cor. 15:50-53;
1 Thess. 4:14-1S).
1. Peter's foolish proposal (vv. 5, 6).
Moses and Elias, who had been a
long time in glory, would be ill at
home in a tabernacle on the mountain
side. It would have been to Peter's
credit to have been silent, since he
knew not what to say.
2. The Divine voice out of the cloud
(vv. 7, 8).
lie Is declared to be the beloved Son
in whom God is well pleased. When
one desires to know what pleases God,
look at his perfect Son, Jesus Christ.
8. Jesus' charge (vv. 9-13).
He instructed them that they should
tell no man concerning the things
which they had seen until he had risen
from the dead.
IV. The Mighty Power of the Divine
Servant (vv. 14-29). When they de
scended from the mountain, they saw
a great multitude in a state of per
plexity. The immediate cause of their
perplexity was the grievous state of a
young man who was possessed with a
demon (v. IS). The father of, the
(he young man had appealed to the
disciples to cast the demon out, but
they were unable. When they brought
him to Jesus, the foul spirit was re
buked (v. 25). and came forth. This
young man's state is representative of
the nations who are oppressed by the
devil. The people were grievously op
pressed. There are times when the devil
is especially active in the op
pression of men. During Christ's so
journ on earth he seems to have been
very active, and we have reason to be
lieve from the Scriptures that just pre
ceding his second coming he will be
even more active; for be knows that
his time is short. One of the ominous
signs of the imminent coming of the
Lord is the almost universal activity
of the devil among the nations in this
hour. When ho comes lie will cast out
the demons, inl tie nations shall he
brought into the kingdom which he
will establish (Jsa. 11:10-12).
