Thursday Afternoon, April 6, 1950
(Editor's Note. Last year during Holy Week
Felix McKight, assistant managing editor of The
Dallas News, wrote a newspaper man's modern ver
sion of the day of day events of the first Holy Week.
Eelow is reproduced his story of "Good Friday", the
anniversary of which is being observed this week:)
The day had come mockery, insults, the
fiction of a legal trial, boundless pain, betray
al, and, finally, death on the, cross.
It was the day of suffering for Jesus Christ.
Dawn was lifting the shaHs on that Fri
day when Jesus, insulted and slapped in the
home of Annas, was bound "and led away to
the palace of Caiaphas, high,-.priest.
The day's first grief came when Peter,
frightened, and confused, .toujtjy denied in
Caiaphas' courtyard that he was a Disciple
of Christ; that he even knew Him. A distant
cock crew and Peter gazed into Jesus' face
and remembered His Words:
"Before the cock crow . twice thou shalt
deny me thrice."
And Peter stumbled into the streets and
wept bitterly, his face hidden in his cloak.
Into the crowded Sanhedrin Jesus, alone
now and wrists bound with rope, was shoved
to hear perjurers testify before Caiaphas.
Two of them swore they had heard Him say
in the Temple of God:
"I will destroy this temple that is made
with hands and in three days I will bulid an
other made without hands."
But Jesus' answered nothing; nothing until
His own words condemned Him in the eyes
of these evil schemers. . .. '
Caiaphas crooked a finger towards Him
and asked:
"Art Thou the Son of God?".
And Jesus wrote His own death sentence:
"Ye say that I am. I say unto you, Here
after shall ye see the Son of Man sitting" on
the right hand of power, and coming with the
clouds of heaven." . .'
Caiaphas triumphantly arose and tore his
priestly garments in a, deceitful show of rage,
shouting:
"Ye have heard the blasphemy. What think
ye?"
Death! Death! Death! The halls shook with

And very early in the morning the first
; day of the week they came into the sepulchre
i at the rising of the sun. On hillsides, in val
J leys and in graveyards thousands of Christ

other Easter sun. They come, not only com
l memorating an event of the past, but seeking
. an experience in the present. Christ arose
yes; therefore he lives. But as many as receiv-

And then they played blind man's bluff

sight if He were really a prophet.

THAT CORPORATION LAW
YER A few days ago Governor
Kerr Scott referred to some pre
vious Governors and to Sen, Clyde
R. Hoey as corporation lawyers.
There seemed to be a little slur in
the label he pinned on his prede
cessors whether he intended it
that way or not. At that time, Sen.
Hoey had opposition in the person

Kurfees; but a few hours later this

Are people who are "psychic" menfolly III?
Answer: Not necessarily, though
psychoanalysis is apt to destroy
their "supernormal" powers. The
genuine "psychic" is a person in
whom the emotional tensions that
cause dreams in ordinary people
are strong enough to be active
when he is awake and make him
"see" or "hear" things which are
imperceptible to others. This may
also happen to otherwise normal
people in times of extreme stress
such as a bereavement. A "psychic
experience" appears in fact to be
a Waking dream and like ordinary
dreams is at bottom a "wish ful-

as, once your bodXihas been "sen

such as ragweed pollen, it may

later contact with that substance,

may make the miji4 "allergic" to
other experiences of the same
type. It may well be true, for in

men, dirty children followed the
procession with cries of pity. But
Jesus urged them not to weep for
Him. '
No longer could His strength
hold. He fell, tn
His cross. Her seemed dead; only
gasps of breath showed life.
The Pharisees cast about in the
crowd and picked one Simon to
lift His cross that the procession
might not be delayed. Outside the
city's walls capital punishment
was illegal in the city itself came
the tragic, broken Jesus of Naz
areth to a place called Golgotha,
scene of the crucifixion.
Four soldiers readied Jesus and
the two thieves. Ropes under His
arms nited Him to the cross and
nails were driven into His hands
and feet.
"Father, forgive them for they
know not what t hey do. .
And one of the repentant thieves
moaned In agony as Jesus com
forted him.
"Today thou shalt be with me in
paradise. . .."
Away from the howline men
fearful, of it all, stood His mother,
Mary. To John and Mary Jesus
whispered: -
"Woman, behold thy son; son
behold thy mother!"
Midnight darkness came and the
sun was obscured.-Manv- fled in
fear but some lingered. The parch
ed lips moved again and at the
ninth hour He said:
"My God, my God, why hast
Thou forsaken me?" : ;
Dust and blood coated His lips:
"I thirst.,," .
And a vile soldier diDoed a reed
in vinegar and brushed it to His
mouth. -.
"It is finished ..."
The body trembled and the lins
parted in final agony:
"Father, into Thy hands I com
mend My spirit ... "
And His head bowed and He
gave up the ghost.
Suddenly, told Matthew, an
earthquake struck and the Temple
was torn from top to bottom. ; Trte
earth shook and rocks were
splintered, Tombs opened V and
bodies of saints were raised.

Mayor and Taximan Kurfees with

is e.xpected to make a few friendly
nods in the direction of Willis
Smith of Raleigh, who is upposme
Scott's appointee, Frank Graham.
Time was when people cursed
corporations, but now a large per
centage of the State's population
owns stock in isome corporation,
cooperative, or' some other .dividend-paying
enterprise. When you
curse corporations now, you are
taking a slap at the people who
own stock in them. When corpora

MOTOR CARRIER Jeff Wilson,
who resigned as trail ic safety man
for the,. State, began work Satur
day for the N, C. Motor Carriers
Association, one of the strongest
trucking organizations in the Uni
ted States. The Association, of
which Tom Outlaw is executive
secretary, will soon start an ad
vertising program in many of the
State's weekly newspapers. Believe
it or not. the; trucking industry is
as interested in highway safety as
is North Carolina . . . and the
N. C, Motor Carriers Association
is getting a man who did a great

More eyes are turned upward at

but we fear a great deal of it is
for the appraisal of weather con

Easter parade, and sunny skies
mean so much, to the wearers.
Perhaps there is something a little
irreverent in this desire to appear
in new raiment on this occasion;
but, on the other hand, there is
something wholesome and heart
