THE BREVARD NEWS Pubished Evsry Thursday by THE TRANSYLVANIA PUBLISHING CO., Inc. Entered at the Postoffice in Brevard, N. C., as Second Class Matter J&saes V. Barrett Editor SUBSCRIPTION RATES (Payable In Advance) ?ne Year 'f'SS Six Manths ? ? LOO Three Months Thursday, June 25, 1931 iS FOURTH OF JULY QMLY A MEMORY 1 One week from next Saturday the people of America will have a holi day. that is, most everybody except tfee people in Brevard, who will have their holiday on the following Mon day. It will be the Glorious Fourth, an event that once meant so much to Ihe American people, but now means vothini; more than a mere holiday for picnics, fishing, boating, swimming, jetting drunk, or whatever particular form of gayety that happens to ap to one. The lustre of the occa sii . has been dimmed by the jazz age o! ?he !>ast decade, and a recital of \he deeds of valor of those who pur chased America's independence with their life's blood has become a silly itiuiething that falls like a child s fairy story upon the ears of a people Vhf. ! :;ve all but lost the high ideals ri a national conscience. It was only one hundred and fifty jcars ago that General Greene, with tii army of real men, was chasing Carnvvallis across the Carolinas, bat tering down the last power of resist ance ot' the British amy, and bring ing nearer that day when our inde pendence was to become a real, con crete structure. One of the most de cisive battles in that campaign was jtsi?ed at Guilford, on the outskirts what is now called Greensboro. A great celebration is being planned at <&at place for the Fourth of July, and many people of this community icv* planning to attend the celebra tion. It will be a great day, and all vise, can do so .should be present and join ui the re-dedication of the state's conscience to the high ideals which ?fel .iur forefathers to give their all shar this free government might be jstahlished. The nation owes a debt of gratitude to th.- Daughters of the American ?Revolution, for this group of women, and a very few other organizations ui similar nature, such as the Junior (Order, have kept alive the fires that burned in the hearts of the heroes in th u :r:iking of America. The local ihapter of the D. A. R., through its officers, calls upon the people of the community to spend at least a por tion the day on the Fourth of July '1 a study of the great conflict which raged f> r seven long years following the signing of the Declara tor. of Independence, and to give es pecia! thought to the great part play id in that , important period by the men of North Carolina. We can best perpetuate the mem ory of those heroes by perpetuating Ihe high ideals for which they died. The freedom' which w. ? purchased at inch tremendous cost by our fore fathers is being assail--.! on every sand; the very structure of our form of government is being attacked from without and torn from within, In tideiity is supplanting the simple faith of our fathers, and the God of Justice is being dethroned, as we worship the God of Gold and Greed. The principle of all men being equal ai their citizenship rights has been almost wiped from the pages of our national life, and the principle of special privilege to the privileged few is becoming the law of the land. Foreign influences are directing, in alarmingly increasing power, the des tiny of our own nation. On the one hand a great religious-political power give* every evidence of a determina tion to control the affairs in Ameri ca, while another foreign power is apparently determined to tear down the Stars and Stripes from every flagpole in the world, and implant thereon the red banner of Commun . istic doctrine. As a result of the many antagon istic movements directed against this government of ours, the pulpit has lost its appeal and the press has lost its power; statesmen have been sup planted by shrewd politicians who can see no further than the interests of the certain political groups or clique which he represents reach. Patriotism is no longer an actuating force except insofar as patriotism . pays Is it any wonder, then, that th? D. A. R. and other similar organization* call attention to these dangers? There should be deep conceKi on the part ?f every true citizen, fortius govern ment of ours cannot much longgr-re main in force and effect unless there is a return to the provisions of its ? constitution, and a re-dedication of our lives to its high principles. Lead ing citizens cannot violate one sec tion of the constitution with impun ity, and expect the rest of the people of the nation to observe other sections of the same constitution. Flagrant violation of one law by outstanding men and women is a direct invitation to all other citizens to disregard all other laws. Communistic leaders will find a fertile field in a land that is rich and powerful, yet with all the riches in the hands of a f?w people, while the masses go hungry in a com munity where others loll in luxury. America would do well to observe the Fourth of July by giving diligent thought to existing conditions, and study well the meaning of coming events which cast their shadows be fore them. ? , i SUPPORT OF ALL NEEDED, IF j TOWN IS TO HAVE BANK. People of this community have been suffering many inconveniences and experiencing many losses during the past seven months because of there being no banking facilities in Bre- , vard. Plans are now being perfected for establishment of a bank here, but there is work for YOU to Jo if these plans go through, and the bank is established. First thing each citi zen should learn is to stop saying "YOU," and say "WE," when speak ing about the bank. A business man in Brevard who claims to have suffered considerable loss because of there being no bank here, has talked a whole lot about the situation, and always puts his ques tion thus: "When are you folks go ing to have a bank in Brevard?" Not once has that man said a word about HIS part in the work, yet he is one of the most interested men in town. He has stood back and talked about "you" and "they," but the time has come when he must fall in and learn co -say "we" and "our" and "us." Anybody can talk. At least, it seems that about everybody does talk. Well, in talking about the proposed bank, "Talk it up," and you will help a whole lot. "Talk it down," and you will hinder the bank's open ing, and that's a certainty. Brevard is just as much YOURS as it is anybody's else, so work for your own. Fall in, and help put this thing over. Brevard will never be worth a kitty's cuss until there is a bank doing business here, and it is especially needed just now, with the summer season coming on. Tourists will not stay in a town where they cannot get change for a five dollar bill, or get a check cashed. So let us all stand squarely together in this important task, and have a bank go ing here before you can say Jack Robinson. HOLLIDAY FAMILY REUNION ON 28TH. Plans for the annual Holliday fam ily reunion to be held at the home of D. R. Holliday in the Blantyre sec tion on Sunday June 28, are about complete. .Members of the Holliday family are scattered over several counties in this state, and many of chem are living in other states.

("Uncle Bill") I Lance was most agreeably surprised on Thursday when several of his rel atives and friends assembled at his home to help him celebrate his 87th birthday. Mr. Lance now lives in the Kanuga Lake neighborhood, Hender son county, but was born and lived in this county until a f&w years ago. He was born on the farm now owned by William Gravely, near East Fork church, June 4, 1844. Mr. Lance is a veteran of the Civil war, having enlisted July 15, 1862, in Company D., which was being formed by Capt. Carter Gillespie and even tually was assigned to the Sixty-fifth regiment, sixth cavalry, North Caro lina Volunteers. Company D. was called out about the middle of Sep tember, that year, assembling at Brevard the day Uncle Davy Shuford was buried. His three sons, Asbury, Meriman and Perry, were members of Company D. This company was des tined to see some hard service and Mr. Lance remained with it until within a few weeks of the surrender when he was captured by a detach ment of Sherman's Army, in his fa mous "march to the sea," near New bern, this state, and was sent to the Federal prison at Point Lookout, Md., where he was held a prisoner of war until June, 1865, when he was re leased and sent home. "Uncle Bill" is well preserved for one of his age and talks interestingly of war days. Altho he was in a num ber of skirmishes and saw several of his relatives and close friends shot down at his side, he went through the entire campaign without a scratch. The battle of Chickamauga was the heaviest engagement that he partici pated in. He is of the opinion that he has the distinction of firing the third gun of that engagement as he was beside Col. Foke when he gave the command to fire the opening vol ley. ?'Uncle Bill" is one of the very few, if not the only, survivors of old Com pany D. This company comprised the pick of Transylvania, then the babv county. Mr. Lance's address is Route 1 3, Box 113, Hendersonville, N. C., and ?if any of the members of Company D. should see this, he would like to have them communicate with him. Notice of Commissioner's Sale IN THE SUPERIOR COURT State of North.

Jn4 4t International Sunday School Lesson for Sunday, June 28th JESUS THE WORLD'S SAVIOUR; SUFFERING AND SOVEREIGNTY A Review of the Part Quarter* s Lessons Golden Text: God So Loved the World That He Gave His Only Begotten Son, That Whosoever Believeth on Him Should Not Perish, But Have Eternal Life. Comments on the Lesson During the past three months we have been studying Dr. Luke s wnt ings, beginning the series of lessons with the picturization of Jesus teach ing humility, one of the first essen tials of Christianity. This was fol lowed by our study of the spirit ot forgiveness, generosity, the necessity for prayer, the power of winning others to Christ, then the spirit of fidelity, and the royalty of the Master. Other lessons include a study of Jesus on the one hand as a prince and priest, and on the as a man, a being with human in stincts and human sympathies. In quarter closed with a study of the atonement, and finally the dietj. Jesus. Every characteristic of the per fect Christ was given emphasized mention in the lesson which we h?\s just gone through, and afte?each us said and done, thesei^fgil His death that Jesus Chgfor men to enjoy real ??de^irbook of Luke ought to convince any one that the matter of living right is the only thing earth thagt matters. All else is empty nothing, unless it, s tarfded upon Jesus, son of God, who came the world to live among men, to d . in their presence, to be burr ^ them, to arise from the wmo , appear unto them again, fin ing his departure on wings of God ? power, to go back to tto Father place from whence He came. We must study this Word 1 note'of^the N^Testaent is Life SZ& J?us Christ. in trespasses ano sins. The of the world is the history of dead men. It is the black record of dead men's morals, of dead men g on a thousand fields of battle, dead men writing books, of dea inventing dead religious and wor shiping dead gods, of dj*d?*"n?UIon ing cities, of dead men sitting thrones, of dead men groping mth^ shadow of deatkTosuch that God for the soul both in cr world and in the world to come U is instructive to note how the Scrip tures associate Life with all things: the water of llfe'f the of life, the resurrection of life, tne Prince of life, the living God ! ETERNAL LIFE. On the other hand the Bible represents the absence Life as the greatest possible enLta the beginning of hum*" that Death was the supreme curse embraced all the woes of this lite and the next. The New Testament takes up the Old Testament idea and increases the darkness of the ! picture. Hear >ts solemn revelations. i "He that believeth not the Son shai. not see Life." Not heaven, but life, for without the new life there can be heaven. Again: "Except ye eat mv flesh and drink my blood, ye ha\e C life in you." And that is man = greatest calamity. Paul sums up the whole matter in one momentous sen tence- "To be carnally minded is death"; but to be spiritually minded U life " Thus all blessings are to ? found ip Life, and all woes in Death. . . i Paul speaks of our passing from death into life, and assures that per sons who have made this change are new creatures m Christ. They are born of the Spirit, chi dren of light, heirs of God, and joint heirs with Christ. No man can get into the Kingdom of Heaven by na ture. bv chance, by works, by educa tion or culture, by reformation or by death, but only by the new birth The i Saviour shut off all ground for de ! bate when he said, "Except a man be born again, he cannot see i kl T^his"1 great doctrine astonished i Nicodemus, who asked in undis guised perplexity, "How can these things be?" God's method is not to unfold processes in his revelation to men, but to state results. A man asks "How could the Deity^ create the universe out of nothing. God s | answer is, the univers^notprocess |es, but suns, moons and stars, wna. is the divine method in giving a rev elation to men?" The Bible is the answer, "How can God save a lost world?"' God points you to the Cross. "How is it possible to raise the dead?" John points you to the resurrection, saying, " I saw the dead, small and great, stand be fore God." Not process, but fact. "How is the sinner regenerated?" Never mind; yonder is the sinner praying. You ask an apple-tree in harvest time how it produced its fruit Its only reply i3 to di^a luscious red apple into your hand. Not processes, but apples. So when men in wonder ask how the soul can be born again, God's answer new birth.
