Blanketeers Face Test Against Shoemen, Dunean Mills DOWN THREE STRONG TEAMS IN PLAY OF THE PAST WEEK-END Craddock - Terry Here Friday, Saturday; Dunean Wednesday TOURNAMENT GAME With all three games played dur ing the past week in the bag. the Chatham Blanketeers face unusual ly stiff opposition in games here Friday and Saturday when they meet Craddock-Terry, and next Monday and Wednesday when they contest Dunean Mills, of Greenville, S. C„ in the Charlotte Observer's semi-pro tournament. Monday's game will be played in Greenville and Wednesday's here. Chatham has already chalked up two wins over Craddock-Terry at Lynchburg, but anticipate trouble from the Shoemen when they ar rive for this week-end's contests. Dunean has advanced in the semi pro tournament by defeating the Cleveland Cloth Mill of Shelby two out of three games. The team is considered one of the best semi-pro teams in the two Carolinas and the game here Wednesday should be a real treat for local fans. In last week's play the Blanketeers won over Chatham of Winston- Salem by 9 to 1. The locals worked on Steelman in the fourth and fifth Innings for six runs and hit Mcll wee hard in the eighth for three more. Stockton held the Winston team to four scattered hits. Friday night Chatham defeated Adams-Millis at High Point 4 to 1, giving Lefty Young his first defeat of the year. P. Hambright led the hitting with a double and a single. Campbell, on the mound, worked a nice game, giving up but five hits. Saturday the Blanketeers defeated the strong Larkwood Hosiery Mill of Charlotte, 2 to 0. Neither team could score until the last of the seventh when Rumple singled to score a run. The Blanketeers scored the other run in the eighth after one out. Fred Hambright hit a double and scored on Weston's sin gle to center.. Hurley and Rumple pitched nice ball with Rumple hav ing the edge. Deep Creek S. S.

REICH PhOM If ! ■ad *6id» coo tains Four Great Treasures •••••••• ®HA4UON NONE GREATER BORN John the Baptist saw his own dis ciples go away from him to follow Jesus, and, unselfish as he was, we may be sure that it was not easy. Even he did not realize perhaps how fast his following would di minish, nor how soon the authori ties would think jt safe to seize hTm without precipitating a popular up rising. Suddenly he found himself in the darkness of Herold's prison, no con tact with the outside world except through a handful of still faithful disciples. These brought him dis quieting news. Jesus whom he had hailed as the Messiah, to whose up building he had sacrificed every personal opportunity and interest, this Jesus was not acting the role of a prophet. He did not fast; He did not withdraw into the wilderness; He did not denounce men for car nal sins. On the contrary, He was feasting in the homes of publicans and proceedingly happily from vil lage to village, surrounded by laugh ing children and a nondescript mob of undesirables. Tortured by such doubts he sent two of his disciples to demand an explanation. They found Jesus sur rounded by enthusiastic crowds, they sought a private audience and in sisted on the truth. Art thou he that should come, or do we look for another? The inquiry must have cut Jesus to the quick. He did the only thing possible; He pointed to the results, hoping that they would carry con vincing testimony. Go and shew John again those things which ye do hear and see: The blind receive their sight, and the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, and the deaf hear, the dead are raised up, and the poor have the gospel preached to them. Did the answer satisfy John? Did he died with the inspiring assurance that his short life was in the noblest sense successful that he had deliv ered his message nad that it was true? Or were the agonies of doubt and discouragement his final por tion? We can never know. The end came very quickly. His head was kicked off by the toe of a dancing girl, and Jesus did not interfere to save him. When Jesus heard of it, he de parted thence by ship unto a desert place apart. He summoned no batallion of an gels to save His friend even as, a few months later. He summoned none to save Himself. But we know what he thought of that friend: Verily I say unto you. Among them that are born of women there hath not risen a greater than John the Baptist. ST. PAUL In the lists of names voted for in this series, the very highest name next only to that of Jesus was Saint Paul. Practically every ballot was marked for him, as well it might have been. Paul was born in Tarsus, a uni versity town in Asia Minor near the northeast corner of the Mediterran ean. He knew something of classic literature and philosophy, but whether he attended the local col lege we do not know. He was sent by his parents, who were Jews of the strictest sect of the Pharisees, to be trained by the famous teacher of the Pharisees, Gamaliel. We first meet him at the stoning of Stephen when he is a "young man named Saul?" We last see him in prison, "Paul the aged," waiting for the sword of Nero. Unconquered by his imprisonment and peril, he towered triumphant over circum stance in the assurance that he had fought a good fight and kept the faith and finished his course. His conversion must have fol lowed within a few months after the stoning of Stephen. That ardent young friend of the Gentile element in the infant church left a greater successor than he could pos sibly have suspected in one of the men who voted for his execution. He was ""not disobedient to' the heavenly vision," says the story of his conversion. Starting- to preach in .a preliminary way at Damascus, he seems to have felt almost im mediately the need for a quiet time when he could think things through and evolve his qwn message! He re tired into Arabia. Almost by inadvertence he re veals the ambition which he cher ished on that first visit to the capi tal city, that of having an honor able place in Jerusalem near the head of the apostolic group, and of his sorrowful discovery that he was persona non grata to the disciples and must seek a field of work afar. (Acts 22:17-21.) It must have been a heartbreaking disillusionment but it was one of the greatest blessings that ever happened to the world. For if Christianity had stayed only in THE ELKIN TRIBUNE, ELKIN, NORTH CAROLINA * Jerusalem it would hardly have survived beyond the lives of the men who saw it start. Paul made three notable mission ary journeys beyond the borders of Palestine. He was arrested in Jeru salem in April, SG, at the time of the Passover, that being his fifth visit to the city since his conversion a quarter of a century before. For two years he was in prison in Caesarea (Acts 24:27), was nearly half a year on his way to Rome, be ing shipwrecked, and two years in prison in relative comfort at Rome. Afterward there was apparently a release followed by another and fa tal imprisonment, recorded in Sec ond Timothy. For I am now ready to be of fered, and the time of my depar ture is at hand. TODAY and CHANGE constant My friends fall into two distinct classes, which seem to me to typify i the rather sharp division of all of ; the people of the United States , these days. I have many friends who are so conservative that any suggestion of a change from the old order prac tically stuns them. They can't do anything about it except to froth at the mouth, in the violence of their denunciation of everybody who wants anything to be done differ ently from the way it always has I been done. ; The other group consists of k those—not always the very young— " who think that there are a great 5 many things wrong with the world t and that many established methods ' and principles in both economic and social life ought to be changed. I find these last usually the more 5 interesting and am frequently quite ; stimulated by their discussions as } to what needs changing, and how. Personally, I think almost all of our manners, customs, economic and social relationships need chang ing. I have lived a good many years and I have seen innumberable | changes, nearly all for the better. | Most of them have come about by * what might be called the evolu ' tionary process. I have seldom seen anything changed for tho bet ter by dictatorial or coercive meth ods. I have never seen any change that was made hastily that did not cause more evil than good. HONOR one man When four great universities rush to confer honorary degrees on four successive days to one American citizen, it is pretty high tribute to 'that main's qualifications. That is what has just happened to Senator Carter Glass of Virginia. Yale, Princeton, Wesleyan and Tufts Universities all conferred upon him the Degree of Doctor of Law. That is going some for a man who started in ' life selling newspapers and working as a print er's apprentice. But Senator Glass, I think deserves all the honors that can be heaped upon him. I was struck by one expression in his address at Tufts. "Everything new is not right, whether it be a New Deal or anything else." That is sound and timely advice to young people who are inclined to think that all the ancient truths and prin ciples are out of date. > PHRASE ...... grass roots A lot of discussion is going on, in print and by word of mouthy as to where the phrase "Grass Roots" originated. It has become current on the popular tongue since the "Grass Roots" convention of the Republicans last month. The current meaning is to imply that something, like the Springfield Convention, has nothing but the firm solid earth under it; that it is not founded upon clouds. Buf an other meaning of the expression is to signify something lying very close to the surface. Grass roots do not go down very deep. I remember in my boyhood, nearly 60 years ago, hearing a traveler who had returned from California telling about a new gold strike, in which he said "there is gold right at the gr&sk roots." Like other popular phrases It is a useful expression. LINDBERGH two fields It is not often that any man wins fame in two different fields of activi ties. No two things could be farther apart than aviation and bio logical research; but Colonel Charles A. Lindbergh, the world's most famous aviator, has just astonished the world of science by his original work, in collaboration with Dr. Alexis Carrel, in inventing machin ery by which living organs of the body can be kept alive for an in definite time after the death of the body from which they were taken. By the use of this device the heart, kidneys and other organs of animals and fowls have been kpet alive and functioning for long periods. The importance of this is that it will make possible the study of the functions and diseases of various parts of the body much more minutely than previously. It is never safe to assume that because a man is an expert author ity in one field he cannot qualify as an expert in any other field. Of course, the contrary is also true; it is never safe to assume that be cause a man is a great mathemati cion, for example, he *is competent to advise on questions of political economy. A stranger who saved Frank V. Loring of Chicago from holdup men, walked home with him and stole his watch. The South has 223 cities each with 10,000 inhabitants or more. ' i.
