THE WAYNESVILLE MOUNTAINEER,
Hot Dogs For The
King And Queen?
WASHINGTON. A debate is go
ing on within the Roosevelt family
as to whether they shall entertain
King George and Queen Elizabeth ut
a "hot-dog" picnic or a formal gar
dent party at Hyde Park, Mrs. Frank
lin D. Roosevelt revealed today.
The President's mother, it seems,
favors the garden party, but his wife
would like to have a picnic at her
husband's new cottage, similar to that
at which the Roosevelts recently en
tertained the Crown Prince of Nor
way and Denmark. If it is not too
hot on that June Sunday, the Pres
ident's wife wants to follow the
Roosevelt tradition of having Amer
ican "hot dogs" for their distinguish
ed foreign guests.
Only Informal Moments
Whatever form it takes, the week
end entertainment at the Roosevelt
estate on the Hudson will give the
British Monarch and his Queen their
only real opportunity to visit inform
ally with the American President.
At formal functions in Washington
the British Embassy garden party,
the White House dinner and musieale,
the British embassy dinner, and the
trip down to' Mt. Vernon on the Pres
dent's yacht Potomac, they will see
and talk to practically the same
persons Vice President and Mrs.
Garner, the Cabinet, the Justices of
the Supreme Court, heads of the For
eign Relations Committee of Con
guess, former ambassadors and spe
cial envoys to Great Britain.
Little Details
Mrs. Roosevelt observed today that
she did not see from fullness and
formality of the official program
when Their Majesties were going to
have a real opportunity to talk with
any one. Their only appointment
with so-called "average people," it was
pointed out, will be with British sub
jects who have been invited to call
at the Embassy on the morning of
June 9.
Minute instructions as to just how
Their Majesties beds shall be made
up, and who shall furnish water for
hot-water bottles, repeated with
some announcement by Mrs. Roose-

explained today, did not come offi
cially from any British sources. They
were merely part of a memoran
dum prepared for her by an American
who had closely associated with the
royal entourage.
Mrs. Roosevelt said the only sug
gestion that had come from official
British sources were those having to
do with protection of the King while
he is in the United States.

Bergdoll to Return
PAUL PLEADS HIS OWN CASE
LESSON TEXT Acts 21:4022:4; 24:14
16; 26:19-23.
GOLDEN TEXT I have lived In all good
conscience before God until this day.
Acts 23:1.
"They say. What do they say?
Let them say I" So reads the in
scription over a doorway of one of
the great schools of England. What
does it mean? It bespeaks the con
fidence of a life lived so nobly that
the barbs flung out by wicked and
slanderous tongues may be faced
without fear, in fact, ignored.
The best defense against the at
tacks of men is the testimony of a
good ' life. Paul had lived such a
life, and consequently when the
hour came for him to speak in his
own defense, he needed but to point
to the record. It is significant that
his enemies did not deny the facts.
They could only cry out, throw off
their garments and throw dust in
the air while they shouted, "Away
with such a fellow from the earth!"
(Acts 22:22-24). They did, indeed,
manufacture accusations against
him, but even the heathen officials
knew enough to throw these out of
court. The impotent rage shown
by wicked men when they run up
against the consistent testimony of
a true Christian life is one of the
strongest of testimonies to the gen
uineness of faith.'
At first glance the portions as
signed for our lesson seem some
what unrelated though taken from
the same general narrative. A little
study reveals a surprising unity.
I, A. Matter of Conviction (21:40
22:4). ' - '
Manv men and women have no
real convictions. They are Repub
licans or Democrats because their
fathers were, and often they have
not the remotest idea of what it all
means. They are members of a cer
tain denomination because they
were brought up in it, and have little
knowledge of its teachings and no
definite convictions relative to them.
Paul was a Christian because of
strong personal convictions of the
deepest kind. He was reared in a
tradition which made him a bitter
persecutor of the followers of Christ,
and it was a personal experience
of the regenerating grace of God in
Jesus Christ which made him into
the bond slave of the One he had
persecuted. We need more of that
kind of know-so and say-so type of
faith. Joining a church as one
might join a social club means noth
ingbut following Christ in full and
free deveftion is everything.
II. A Matter of Authority (24:14
16). . .." .
Just as Paul's life was built on
faith which was inward, based on
personal convictions, it was also a
faith that was Godward, based on
the authority of His Word. The
Jews might call it heresy, but Paul
stood on "all things which are writ
ten" (v. 14); he had a "hope toward
God" (v. 15), and "a conscience
void of offence toward God" (v. 16).
Those who ridicule Christianity
would have it that faith is really
credulity. They say we believe
things which we do not know to be
true, while hoping that they may
somehow prove to be so. A man
who reads these notes in his home
town newspaper recently wrote to
ask me if I was fool enough to be
lieve the things I wrote. The fact is
that we, even as did Paul, have the
strongest of all foundations for our
faith, namely the Word of God.
Men act in faith on the word of their
fellow men their very existence is
all bound up in that faith in men
whom they hardly know. They be
lieve them, but they will not believe
God. I suggested to my correspond
ent that he read I Corinthians 1:18
25 and 2:14.
Christian faith calls for a personal
belief, but that belief is not in any
word of man, but in the Word of
God, which abideth forever.
III. A Matter of Witness (26:19
23). . ' .
Inward, Godward, and now out
ward in witness these are the three
relationships of Paul's good life. He
could plead in his own defense the
record of his life, for he had not
selfishly cherished a fellowship with
God which had lighted and warmed
his own soul and then left his fellow
.man to sit in the chilling darkness
of sin. He was obedient to the
heavenly vision (v. 19), and
preached repentance, faith, and
good works to both Jew and Gentile
(v. 20), continuing to do so with
God's help even in the face of severe
persecution. :
Some people are just so good that
they are "good for nothing." Such
men do not reflect the goodness of
God. Every attribute of God is an
active one. He is love and He does
love. He not-enly is good, but He
does good. His children should be
like Him. They are not saved only
that they may escape hell and enjoy
the peace of God. They are saved
to serve in the winning of others to
Christ. Let us covet such a good
life as that which Paul lived. Our
bewildered age needs the sanctify
ing and stabilizing influence bt such
lives!

Women's Hats Rated
As Driving Hazards
ST. LOUIS. When a woman driv
er pullg a traffic boner you can blame
it on her hat.
That's the finding of Dr. Lowell
S, Selling, eye specialist, who made
a study of accidents in the Detroit
Recorder's Court traffic clinic.
"The type of hat which is pulled
down over one eye is a driving hazard
for any 'woman because it limits her
field of, vision at the wheel," he de
clared. "She is telling the truth
.when she says, "I didn't see it coming."
Mayor LaGuardia often hits just
the right sentiment and that was one
time, when describing the Hitler ag
gression, the New York mayor said
"There isn't a happy mother in all
Europe today."
RALEIGH. Last month's influenza
toll in North Carolina was 119, as
compared with 48 in April, 1938, ac
cording to a report compiled by Dr.
R. T. Stimpson, director of the State
Board of Health Bureau of Vital
Statistics. Homicides also were up,
with 41, as compared With 28 the
corresponding period last year.
There was an increase of eight in
the total number of deaths in the
state, while the birth-rate jumped
from 22.2 to 22.7, indicating an in
crease of 206 in the number of babies
bom last month over April, 1938.
The infant mortality rate for the
month, including babies under one
year of age, dropped from 56.2 to 52.2,
while the maternal death rate fell
from 5.7 to 5.5 for the month. Diar
rhea and enteritis claimed only 13
children under two years of age last
month, as compared with 35 a year
ago, the report of Dr. Stimpson shows.
There were ten deaths from measles,
compared with 46 last April.
Preventable accidents claimed 96
victims, against 91 a year ago, in
cluding, in 1938: automobile fatalities,
55; deaths from automobile and rail
road collisions, 5; other railroad ac
cidents, 7; burns, 19; drowning, 6;
traumatism by firearms, 4. There
were no sharp differences in deaths
from the above causes for the two
years.
