F ^O-fTO .'? wis t Jl> O il twa M. A. ('. Johnson and Frank Duckworth had many thrilling mo ments recently as they attempted to lly from Bryson City to Brevard. It was 011 Monday of la-t week, about noon, when the two aviators loft ISrysoT) via Waynesville for home port. The eloud| hard rain wa could not be see| of clouds and tl] to Bryson City Flying high in) were heavy and a [falling. Waynesville [n through the maze e men started back 1 make a new start, order to rise above the clouds, the airmen climbed to an altitude of ten thousand feet, and ail the comfort they received, for a glimpse of the sunlight above was another black cloud which came across the mountain ranges and ob scured their view again. After a long time spent in aimless wandering on a sightless trip, the plane darted down, and a drop of live thousand feet- within a few sec onds caused the boys to realize that they were 10 land within a mo ment, some place, somehow, lhick woith -ays had it not been for the cool nerve of 111'. Johnson and his ability to think quickly in an emer gency. some -one else would he tell ing what happened instead of the two airmen! But. they landed ? and when they ascertained iheir location, they were within iive miles of Max Patch, in one of the wildest sections of the mountains of Western North Caro lina. The laiidilig was made without misnap. but getting away from there was another proposition. The cold in the altitude in which they found themselves was so severe that their plane was soon covered with icicles. Some sweet potatoes that a Bryson CiSy man had sriven the boys were frozen while the plane was in this frigid zone so far above the average altitude of the section. With assistance of citizens in the Max .Patch section, the plane was brought from its foreed landing place, and trip to Breavrd complet ed.

PARENT-TEACHER MEETS NEXT MONDAY AT SCHOOL On account of the bad weather conditions last Monday, the Elemen tary Parent-Teacher association was postponed until next Monday after noon at three-fifteen o'clock, in the elementary school building. THE PRAYER MM THE TEN COMMANDMENTS I must add another word about The Ten Commandments, and the word of one I admire greatly: "Christian goodnres, which at its best, is the most perfectly beautiful thing that has ever been produced upon earth, was and is based by <>j. Lord and .Master upon 'I h;- 'IV: Commandments. "These Commandments are net arbitrary laws laid down by a.i ab solute king for the presc'i valion ?.i His own honor and glory a*>d maintenance <>f His own <li:;uit;. God has no dignity, except il ? uiv .11' > of. i.'.te.' humility which is ill -? only real dignity there is. "The Ten Commandments arc laws of love, and are, therefore, t?? be taken as the necessary basis of human perfection. To disc^iey tiiem is to sin against our own nature, which does indeed rob Cod of i!i glory, for Cods glory is mans per fection. To disobey them i. to Ja.\ ourselves open to spiritual disease, to corruption of the mind and <>f the moral nature. Disobedience t? them brill 's its won punishment, because it puts us out of harmony with reality and ultimately leads to our lives becoming a living lie." In these days when the old fash ioned conventions are all bci?? broken down, people imagine (hat y. ii can break The Command:. u:: you break the convcmii.n Nolhilig can be more untrue. " convention;.' are very largely ti ary .in th:ir nature, niad(s to meet special hut passing needs. "To break The Commandments in wrorvj deed is to shake the eternal moun tains and dim the steady shining of the everlasting stars. It is to rebel against the universe which is (.!' aii rebellions the most futile and pa thetic." "You can no more modernize .he Decalogue than you can vulgariz. the sea. You may build you: shanties of shallow thinking ami passion 011 the shore, but sooner or later the tide of the Eternal Truths will come and break your Jim-crack speculations into lots, and you will seek for refuge in the Haven "f Cods Law." A PRAYER FOR KEEPING THE TEN COMMANDMENTS O Thou, who being in the f?nv of Cod, thought it not robbery u> be equal with Cod, but made Tliys.lt of no reputation and took upon Thee the form of a servant,* and was made in the- likeness of men: and being formed in fashion of a man, did humble Thyself and become obedi ent unto death, even the death of the cro.s-. by keeping the law of Jie Eternal Father, which law it- ih.ly and the Commandments holy, ami just, ami good: help us to follutv the example of Thy great humility, and keep the Commandments as Thm didst keej) them in the dignity of utter humility, which is the only real dignity there is. Show us that the Ten Command ments are laws of love and are to be taken as the necessary basis of human perfection. That to disobey them is to sin against our own na ture, which ro'os God of His glory, for Cods glory is mans perfection. Enable us to see that to disobey them is to lay ourselves open to spiritual disease, to corruption of the mind and of the moral nature: that disobedience to them brings its own punishment because it puts us out of harmony with realtiy and ultimately leads to our lives be coming a living lie. God forbid that to be our fat?. Hut we beset ch Thee to bring home to our hearts the great truth that the Decalogue, is the steel of Love, that the summary of the laws as enumerated by Thee, our Mas ter is the tenderness of love, that the Hand of the great Lawgiver and the Hand of the great Law keeper, and the Reign of the Bond age of Fear, by the glorious ruler of undying love. So, in obedience to Thee, Thou great Lawkeeper and in keeping the moral law shall the bondage of fear become to us the glorious rule of undying love, and Thine shall fce the praise now and forever, Amen. ?
