THURSDAY, N0VEMBER Pace 12 THE WAYNESVILLE MOUNTAINEER VISITIN' THE NEIGHBORS , : By ,:; "CHES" MATTHEWS The day was a fugitive from a poem. Adequate description of the long familiar place we went would read like a story of the promised land: ' Vnr it' over Pisreon way we've been this trip and from whichever entrance you traverse that Valley the drive is a beautiful adventure, We came out from Canton- amazed at the growth of the High land Park section of town and at the prevalence of new homes out side the city limits. If you haven't come that longer-way-round lately we earnestly urge that you try it to refresh your recollection and yourself! Warm, rich and mellow is the air helping to make this a land "flowing with milk and honey." For the great elliptical plain of Pigeon Valley we ve always had a warm spot in our hearts because there we first came to know West ern North Carolina. From where -we boarded it was fascinating to watch , the snow "paint" little cabins into pictures tiny homes we'd never suspocted were there until white blankets covered their roofs. We were shown one, high on the mountain side, where an old crippled woman lived alone, hoe-ing in her crop without help and walking with the aid of a cane and crutch, more than two miles down a rocky trail to have her corn ground. The sharp contrast between such farming and the deep tractor plowing which is the order of the day for the up-to-the-minute agri culturists of the bottom land; be tween that steep trail and the con crete highway, gave us a graphic picture of the Carolina that was and is and a vivid idea of what it may become. As Spring came we used to walk to the turn from which we had an unobstructed view across the Os borne farm and the fields beyond and it seemed as if The Master Weaver took a ' special pride in the green "broadloom" carpet He un rolled across the level "floor." The pleasant 'and prosperous Pigeon Valley-ites enjoy many ad vantages. For instance that's the one spot around these parts al ways dead certain to produce wa termelons! We're going to angle for a very personal invitation to isit the Weaver Cathey place come melon time again. When a man has so many melons he feeds 'em to his hogs it surely wouldn't b too pig-ish of us to hint for our fill. Think soT , Down all the by-roads along the river are splendidly improved farms and homes that are new have the same quiet dignity as those that have sheltered many- generations of the same family. In fact quiet dignity seems the pervading spirit of the locality. - Of the more venerable home steads none is more interesting to us than the Terrell place, with its big brick house and store build ing facing each other across the road along which wagon trains once hauled all imports and ex ports of the Valley folk and their hillside neighbors, go up to Beech.' Cap or on up the left fork to Pisgah well do that soon but to come back across the new section of highway that points as the crow 'flies-r-reveling in the misty mauve shadows of the hills beyond and the rugged grim-ness sf Plott Balsam as we topped the rise that just "sorta" lifts a fel low riirht out of himself. When we got to the spring the club women, some years ago, made into such a delightful spot for hesitating or for . picnicing but which is now sadly neglected we had to stop and "drink deeply" of the water and oi the beauty wmcn fills to the brim the huge bowl be low us the round, sheltered cove that holds the acres of apple trees that add such sweetness to any sea son. We didn't even mind the harrow little curlicues and question marks of the tired-out old section of the road as it winds through the or chards! : The new stretch at this end seem ed all the nicer and there is interest and a different-ness all along its miles. Truck farms; plant spe cialists; dense evergreen growth. Near where we boarded in that back-there time was a man with a car who taxied us sight-seeing oc casionally. Who, by the way, would invariably inquire "Where is it you re Irom 7 Kentucky 7 Ain't that close to the State of Washing ton?" Well, when through the deep cut of the newly located high way we got the first view of home again, we recalled (and ecnoed! that man's oft repeated remark: "You jest ain't seed a purty place 'till you let me drive you up to Waynesville."

"" " ' By NEWMAN CAMPBELL (The International Uniform Lesson on the above topic for Nov. 16 la John 14:20; 15:1-10; 17:21-23; Rom. 8:9. 10; I Cor. 6:15-20; XL Cor. 5:17; GaL 2:20; Eph. 2:20-22; 3:17-19; 4:18. 16; 5:29, 30; Phil. 3:9; 4:13; Co! 2:6, 7, the Golden Text being John 15:4, "Abide in me, and I In you.") WHEN JESUS talked to his disciples or the people who crowd ed around to hear him, He did not use large words or talk to them of things with which they were unfamiliar. He never talked "over their heads" as far as His use of words or descriptions went. Al ways He used stories and illustra tions of things that they could easily understand. For instance, in His talk to His disciples on the Thursday evening of Passion week, in Jerusalem, when He told them: "I am the true vine, and My Father is the husbandman." The gra-e vine was very com mon in Palestine, end using It as an illustration of their union with Him and His Father was a simple and perfectly understandable il lustration of what He was trying to tell them. He was the vine, His disciples were the branches which should bear fruit. If they were branches of His vine, they were part and parcel of Him. His life would be flowing through them, and He was not complete without them, and they could not live without Him. God the Father is the keeper of the vine. "Every branch in me that beareth not fruit. He taketh it away: and every branch that beareth fruit, He purgeth (or cleaneth) it, that it may bring forth more fruit." Still further; "He that abldeth in Me and I In Him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without Me ye can do nothing." True Today That is as true of each follower of Jesus today as it was when the Master uttered those words to His disciples, probably in an upper room in a house in Jerusalem. If we accept Jesus and try earnestly to follow Him and live the life we know so well He would have us live, we cannot live without Him. We must read of His life on earth, of what He did, what He said, how He handled situations. If we do He will gradually grow to be a part of us, of every act of our e. he will Influence every word ''tter, and we shall truly . . be easy for any of us, man, woman or child. We shall have many disappointing moments when we will realise that we have said and dons things that are any thing but ChrisUike: But If we do not allow ourselves to be discour aged; if we try harder and harder, seeking help, we shall grow more and more In His likeness. "As the Father has loved me, so have I loved you: continue ye in My love. "If ye keep My commandments, ye shall abide In My love; even as I have kept My Father's com mandments, and abide in . His love." In writing his second letter to the Corinthians Paul says: "If any man be in Christ, he Is a new creature;, old things are passed away; behold, all things are be come new." You remember the story of St. Paul's conversion; his persecu tion of the Christians until He was thrown from His horse by a light shining on him, and a voice saying, "Saul, why persecutest thou me?" Paul's Life Changed From that moment Paul's life changed unspeakably. He was no longer the proud, self-righteous man, whose active brain directed the tortuse and imprisonment of men who had seen the light of Jesus and followed it, but he be came a leader in the very religion he had sought to destroy. He, too, suffered the persecutions he once meted out to others, was imprls-. oned, and. In the end, killed for his faith. Truly, Paul was "a new crea ture,1 after his conversion, and so should we all be, for "old things pass away, and all things are be come new." So close was the union with Christ of which Paul was aware, that he says, In Galatians 2 :20, I am crucified with Christ: nev ertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life that I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave Himself for me." Another figure of speech which is familiar and which expresses the relation of Christians to Jesus Is the reference to Him in Ephe- slans 2:20, as the "Chief corner stone; In whom all the building fitly framed together groweth unto a holy temple in the Lord." Our religion is founded upon Jesus, His life teachings and death. We have different talents, but each of us fits Into the build ing as one of its stones, to make it strong and enduring.

The purpose of the can vass is to find out how many want to give and what to the orphanage for Thanksgiving. Trucks will stop and pick up all contributions a few days before Thanksgiving. Anything in the way of canned goods, potatoes in fact anything in the way of food. ; They are ask ing especially for corn. The Rev, Frank Leatherwood, our Baptist county missionary, preached at our church last Sun day morning. The seventh grade boys gave a Hallowe'en chapel program in the new auditorium during the week. The numbers were a history of Hallowe'en by Billy Wells; read ings "Little Orphan Annie," by Jack Henry; a play, "Tom Sawyer and Huck Finn," by several mem bers; musical selections by a band in ghost costumes. J. D. Moore, a member of the Bethel high school faculty, visited the Seventh grades on Tuesday and told them of his travels in South America.
