pHERE IS REALLY somelhim
funny about ft. Consider :
First Church contfreyatioi, sm -iii";
"Jesus, I my cross have taken
All to leave and f'lllnw thee:
Destitute, dcsoKod. fors:iken.
Thou from lionc-1 niv All jhall be
Oh, come, come, l iriics and iu'h
tlemen! Your cross? Whore is if
"All to leave" ? 1
You are going rilit
back to your homes
for an extra good
Sunday dinner "Pe
stitute" ? (Some
congregations, be
lieve it or not, ac
tually sing "linked
poor," instead of
"destitute.") Mot a
one of you ever has
been on relief : vou
probably have more money in the
bank than most of the people whr
didn't come to church.
Some People Cannot
Be Christians
IT MAY BE FUNNY to compare
what the congregation is singing
about thom'.iclves with what they
really are. But it is sad, too, be
cause that hymn illustrates how
foggy-minded some Christians arc
about their own "cross."
They can sing blithely about
it, and even complain (in song)
about their own condition as
something for the Salvation
Army to look Into, when they
don't mean a word of it.
The fact is, Jeius did demand jus I
the thing the hymn describes. He
said, in so many words, "Whoso
ever doth not bear his cross and
come after me cannot be my dis
cinle."
What Did .lesus Mean?
THERE ARE TWO ways of mis
understanding Jesus here. One
wrong line is t:.Ucn by those who
think Jesus did not mean a word he,
said. The other wrong line is taken
by a very few people, a very few in
deed, who take Jesus absolutely lit
eraliy. They believe that no one
can be a true, 1C0 per cent Chris
tian, usle:s and until he gives up all
his property, all his family, an'
lives alone and wild, a hermit In the
wilderness. The farts show thai
both these interpretations are false
The world has never been reallj
made better, either by ?clfish. com
fort-loving, worldly Christians, or b
the wild and woolly hermits who are
clean "out of this world."
"Love Thyself Last"
THE WISEST, the most devoted
Christians, have known better
what Jesus meant. Jesus' own
parable of the "rich fool" gives us
the hint. He tells of a man who had
everything he wanted . . . but when
he came to die, discovered he had
nothing. In that little 'story Jesu--shows
us a man who put himself bo
fore all other persons; who put him
self before God; and who put things
hefnre character. He lived for his
body, he lived for his comforts, he
lived for himself.
The neighbor, maybe, called
him smart bcc.n'scjic was rich;
but God called Irim a fool, and
what God calls a un. 'vi ho
Taking the cross meuri.i uvi'J as
Jesus lived, not as that fool lived
Ch.rUticn's and Liquor Don't Mix
CONSIDER JUST ONE illustration
of what Jesus means. Should
a Christian drink alcoholic liquors"
If you are not a Christian, you can
try to answer this from non-Christian
reasons; but that is not the
question. Shall a Christian drink?
Just think about this in the light of
what Jesus said. The disciple of
Christ will deny himself; does the
drinker deny himself? The dis
ciple of Christ will put Christfirst
always; but what docs the drinker
put first? Jesus called a man a fool
who lived for his bodily pleasure
lived for himself ; what would he
call the man who thinks hs can
"take it or leave it" but who is ac
tually tied to his bottles?
It Is true, a selfish man may
perhaps (for selfish reasons,
such as saving money) deny
himself liquor, tobacco, or even
tea and corfee, and still be no
Christian.
But a man who really denies him
self, who loves himself last, will
find that other self-denials follow as
a matter of course. A . man who
lets his appetite dictate to him, es
pecially his appetite for alcohol, is
a man who is letting real self starve

from the Dickson family name in
Duplin has come a long list of dis

and statesmen, comparable perhaps
to that of any family in the South.
Included in the list, and most
outstanding at this time, is Dr.
Frank Porter Graham, erstwhile
President of the Slate University
and widelv known as a great Ameri-i

Carolina's Junior United States

Colonel John Dickson, the f oun

Dicksons, had come to the section
from County Down, Ireland.
Dickson Sloan, son of David, was
an outstanding citizen of Dupi'n
and Sampson Counties and repre
sented Sampson in the State House
of Commons and the State Sena(

erine Bryan, daughter of Ann
(Dickson) and Kedar Bryan, and
they were the parents of Dr. David
Dickson Sloan who was the .nater

During the eighteen-forties Dick
son Sloan and family resided in Ke

known at "the old Hotel lot" near
the court square. The same lot had
previously been occupied by the
maternal grandparents of another
United States Senator, the Honor
able William J. Harris of Georgia.
