A LIVE THAT HAS BEEN WELL WORTH WHILE. la the passing of Mrs. Mi* . Henderson one is reminded most forcibly of the fact that there is no 4eath for those who really live, Sh lived, labored and loved for nekr^ ioll century, and leaves behind her ? inf.uence that shall never ie. fall three-quarters of a century mouldtnl the life of this beginning, with her husbari , fchment of a family whose influences today know no bounds. What would Transylvania county he today had Mrs. Henderson never liv*d. We cannot imagine the county witliout the work and accomplish ments of her fine sons and daughters, grandsons and granddaughters. Then, acming on are rising generations ot fcer descendants to carry on the greav Christian work and provide the needed leadership without which this com munity would suffer immeasurable toss. It has been this writer's pleasure to speak at home-coming events at iiuebec. and "Mother Henderson would be carried into the church on fcev chair, borne by the strong arms her splendid sons. We watched ber face light with joy and pratUude as fcor sons, preachers and teachers, too* 9art in the program. She was bappy> indeed, and well might she ^Jhappy ? It is not given to many mothers *atch the babes who had been nursed ?nd nutured at their breasts grow into such a state of clean manhood and womanhood of splendid useful ness as that which marks the Hender son family. Transylvania county has been creatly enriched because Mrs. MilUe Henderson lived here, and in U 1W manner this county is grieveel because she is gone. t a LET ALL CITIZENS JOIN IS CLEAN-UP MOVEMENT.

The I>- A. R. group has placed ap proval upon the plan, and it is ex pected that other organizations will take official action in support of the ? Let us tell you once more that the summer of 1932 is destined to be Brevard's greatest summer season? let's get ready for it. wesssa?l,i'a [By Mrs. F. E. B. Jenkins) I have recently re-read a volume from "Every Man's Library," that has long held a peculiar interest for *ie. Mr. E. W. Lane's book, "Modern Egyptians." This work was termed by the English critic, Stanley Poole. "The most perfect picture of a people's life that was ever written." To this tribute the editor of "Every, ?tan's Library" adds one of his own, with this concluding paragraph: ?"Lane was able to acquire, not only Che refinements of their (Egyptian) speech, and the minute details of their etiquette, but also a perfect insight into their habits and ways of thought." In his chapter on Religion and Laws, Lane refers to the fact that wine and all intoxicating liquors are banned by the Egyptians, in common with natives of other Mohammedan countries. He further tells us that there are Moslems who do indulge in the forbidden drinks, but adds. "Among the Egyptians, there are few who indulge in this manner." At the time Lane's book was wit ten, drunkenness was punished in Egypt by flogging, the penalty de creed by the prophet, but we are told to invoke ins Addicted to th& viec (i, t. aa? . intoxicating drugs) is . certainly jt nearly so great, in. proportion to >iiuiaticn, as 13 the relative number jiersons in our mo country England) who indulge in habitufti drunkenness.'' ?i The Egypt of which Mr. Lane wrot^j nearly a century ago, is of course, jja? he Egypt of todsy..: -Egypt ? tifta - hanged, as- greatly perhaps, &a Tur- 1 ' ev. The Egyptians may now- be a ; --uo of drunkards, or drug addicts, 1 r both, for all I know, Nevertheless, it seems true that,] , rtl the country was brought under j Juropcan influence, prohibition was, . success in Egypt. And it did not ! roditce an enormous number of ; Jcpe fiends," which it is frequency , illeged is the inevitable result of pro- ! ! libitlon. I belive Mr. Ewbanks stated ; 'cmethirg to this effect in hia recent speech here. j Mr. Lane was not advocating pho ibition. He was not holding up tha 'gyptians as examples for English- , ?en, any more than I should choosa , asm as patterns for Americans. He .va's merely recording facta concern-! ing Egyptians. The statement that prohibition has ?:vei- succeeded anywhere, is to my i.:nd, not confirmed by the appeal to listory. And thus the contention falls at, that universal failure in the past emonstates the impossibility of pres nt or future enforcement. While reading these studies of Tur .isli and Egyptian life, it interested 110 to contrast the Oriental attitude toward prohibition with that of We3t- ( .raers. ?" Most Americans will agree with he Mohammedans that drunkenness :s a vice productive of much misery, ? tremendous spiritual and economic waste. , ivere tha view point diverges. The Mohammedan reasons thus: Since alcohol is a habit forming rug, the danger ot' over indulgence V- so great, we prefer to forego the rijoyment of it's moderate use, rath r than risk becoming excessive J i' inkers. We, on the contrary, reason after his fashion: The pleasure of indulgence is so ;; at, we prefer the risk of becoming xeessive drinkers, to foregoing the p.ioyment of moderate drinking. Contact with western nations has vrought many changes among the '?lohammedan peoples. Their views re altering on prohibition as well as n ether matters. Travelers tell us 'iat Mohammedans are rapidly dis ding their scruples, and are more nd more acquiring the pleasing fp.sh n of getting drunk. We will leave to our anti-prohibitionists to point at to them ali the advantages ihey nil! derive therefrom. So much for the plea to abolish pro :bition, "because it can not be en 'orcod." We all admit that in America it . not enforced. There are many who eel that considerable modification is necessary before enforcement is at all likely. Sut we require further proof that enforcement is impossible before we can vote for its entire abolition in that ground. THE COUNTRY PREACHER Editor Brevard News: Dear Jim: Will you allow space in your most aluable paper to say a few words ?! regard to our country preachers V ?-? to our ability we feel very small indeed. But when I began to read the ?trecious words of My Master I find -lust of-. His life was spent in the i!ane by the seaside and on the moun tain top. '.The gr?atest sermons were not with he "stiff necked ossified preachers, but his message was to poor people vho didn't ha^e bread to eat. On the words of Jesus the most in * ? - metaphors seem to throw out 'orked lightenings. He didn't talk like he had bunions on his tongue. Some sermons instead of being a bugfe call for service are * spiritual showers of cocaine. Some people are obsessed with the idea of Churchanity. Oh well you know they are a kind )t' religious snob. But just here as I stop to look I see the high class preachers will be bowing at your feet But I thank our Great God we will have John the Baptist and some ?f the greatest men of earth with the jowly Nazarene in otrr company. I think God for old time back wood calico religion that will make a man !cve all even to the greatest sinner. The Little Country Preacher, REV. W. P. HOLTZCLAW. JASPER A. HARTMAN Jasper A.
