Page 14 THE WAYNES VTLLE MOUNTAINEER (One Day Nearer Victory) THURSDAY, OCTOBER 19 Iv SN H AP OTS By FRANCES FRAZIER Staff Writer They were dog-tired. It was now nine thirty at night and they had been driving steadily since two o'clock that morning:, stopping only log enough to grab a sandwich and a cup of coffee. Mame's eyes were glazed from staring straight ahead on the road bo that Joe could re lax while she guided the huge truck through the maze of Btreet traffic in the day time and relieved Joe. He did the night driving but that didn't relieve Mame much for she did the driving then, if only mentally. Somehow, that's the way it had always been. She did the driving, and Joe went where directed. Joe wasn't exactly spineless but that old by seven years. Mame had and Mame had been married that her advice was pretty good and it saved arguments. It hadn't taken Joe long to make the latter dis covery. Joe was forty and Mame wasn't old by seven years. Mame had Musical Program To Be Heard At Church Of God In Hazelwood The public and all singers are invited to attend a musical pro gram at the Church of God in Hazelwood at 8 o'clock this even ing. W.

C. gotten him this job, a spendid one from the financial angle, and she had countered his repeated, "Let's get a home, Mame, and stay put awhile. Driving a transfer truck across country doesn't give a fellow much time to have a garden." But Mame had always the same answer, "We'll have plenty of time for the house and the garden, too, when we make money while we can. After awhile there won't be so much trucking." And that had settled it. But Joe was thinking how nice it would be if he could be pulling up in front of his own little cottage instead of the hotel in this little town. They were too worn out to try to make more mileage that night, so they went into the hotel, dirty and completely exhausted. Joe envied the folks sitting around the lobby, chatting pleas antly, but he took the key from the room clerk, paid for the night's lodging, and dragged his tired feet up the stairs. Mame preceded him and found the numbered room be for he had reached the last step. "Here we are," she called and he followed her into the room after unlocking the door. He switched on the light, and they looked at each other in astonishment. Never be fore had they been given such a room in a hotel. Ruffled curtains at the windows, growing vines and potted plants, silk bed spread and satin coverlet; a radio on the writ ing table, black enamel toilet arti cles on the dresser and a bathroom. And what a bathroom; spotless, plenty of bath towels, face cloths and a gleaming tub waiting to be filled with hot and cleansing water. They both made a dive for the bathroom. A hot bath was what they needed to bolster up their exhausted morale. Then they matched to see who would have the first shot- at that luxury. Mame won, and Joe decided to turn on the radio. This was Heaven, and no fooling. Then a bolt hit that evidently wasn't from the direction of Heav enly bodies. Some one was pound ing on the door and yelling, "What are you doing in my room ? Get out of there as quickly as you can. And turn off my radio." Joe was dumfounded. Too many surprising things had happened that night but this was the last Invest In Your Future - - Put Something Aside Each Week In Building and Loan New Series Opened October First HAYWOOD HOME Building & Loan ASSOCIATION Phone 17 Main Street Religion in Education HIGHLIGHTS ON THE SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON By NEWMAN CAMPBELL (Th International Uniform Lesson on the above topic for Oct. 22 Is Deut. 6:4-9; Proverbs 9:10; Matt. 7:7-12; Luke 6:39-45; II Tim. 2:15. the Golden Text be ing John 8:32, "Ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.") "HEAR, O ISRAEL: The Lord our God is one Lord: And thou ahalt love the Lord thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy aoul, and with all thy might. "And these words, which I com mand thee this day, shall be in thine heart: lnd thou shalt teach them dili gently unto thy children, and shalt talk of them when thou slttest In thy house, and when thou walkest by the way, and when thou llest down, and when thou rlsest up. "And thou shalt bind them for a sign upon thine hand, and they shall be as frontlets between thy eyes. "And thou shalt write them upon the posts of thy house, and on thy gates." These were the words of Moses to the children of Israel as they wandered In the desert seeking the land the Lord had promised them. At first they were used figuratively, but later assumed a literal translation, and we quote: Contain Scrolls of Parchment The sign on the hand being made to denote a phylactery on the biceps of the left arm, and the frontlets between the eyes a phy lactery on the forehead. Each of these phylacteries contains four sections from the Pentateuch in scribed on scrolls of parchment. . . . The expression to write them upon the posts of the house was later construed literally and gave rise to the custom of the mezuzah, which consists of affixing a small cylinder enclosing an inscribed parchment to the upper part of the right hand door-post of every Jewish home." You remember how the Jews, in their wanderings, forgot these teachings again and again and were punished time after time for their unfaithfulness. In every home the teaching of religion should be a part. The child that learns religion and good morals at his mother's or father's knee, seldom goes far wrong in after life. Jesus tells us to pray to the Father: "Ask and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you." An earthly father would not dream, if his child asked for bread, of giving him a stone that looked like a loaf; or if he asked for fish of giving him a serpent. If an earthly father would then give good gifts to his children, how much more would God, Father us all, give good gifts to us? ".o)' Jesus.

Good Tree Brings Good Fruit "For a good tree bringeth ro forth corrupt fruit; neither (V-tn a corrupt tree bring forth gooi fruit. "For every tree is known by his own fruit. ... A good man out of the good treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is good; and an evil man out of th evil treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is evil." "Study to shew thyself approved until God, a workman that need eth not to be ashamed, rightly di viding the word of truth," Paul wrote t Timothy. If we are true and faithful to the very best way of life; if we do those things that we know are right, and leave undone the things that we are sure are evil, we will be "approved until God." We will show ourselves good workmen, who can be proud of our work. The final test of our lives will be if we can truly keep the Golden Rule, which Is also part of today's lesson : "Therefore all things whatso ever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them : for this is the law and the prophets."

"We're not in the wrong room," he answered back, raising his voice so that it could be heard over the rushing water that was streaming into the bathtub over which Mame was leaning espec tantly. Then he looked at the key number hanging from the keyhole. "What number is on the door?", he asked, hoping against hope. But that hope died instantly. The num ber given was not the number he was gazing at, but the floor below. Then he knew what had happened. When the hubbub had settled down and each family was in its rightful room, Mame turned to Joe and whispered, "Joe, that nice look ing room has made me decide we're going to have one, too.
