Sanity in Eating
Cicero, a wise philosopher, who
lived about fifty years before the
birth of Christ, said. "Just
enough food should be eaten to
maintain strength and not
enough to burden it."
Millions of men and women are
in cemeteries today, who might
have added years to their lives
had they observed the simple sug
gestion of this sage. If people
would only stop short of their ap
petite—eat less than they desire
—they would be saved many doc
tor's bills and much suffering.

illustration of this truth is the
story of Count Lugi Cornaro, who
lived in Italy aoout the same time
that Christopher Columbus was
making his now famous voyage.
430 m a weakling, he further
impaired his vitality by extreme
dissipation and by overeating and
drinking. At thirty-five years of
age he was given up to die, and
awaited his summons into the
next world.
While meditating upon his past
life he developed a strong desire
to continue living. This led him
to give strict attention to his
food, to his conduct and to his
personal hygiene. He lived to be
more than 95 years of age, and
enjoyed every minute of his ex
iste nc e, frequently remarking
that he got more of the good
thlnps out of life as age descend
ed upon *him than he did in his
hectic youthful days. At 83 he
wrote a book on how to live.
He was a keen hunter, follow
ing the hounds on horseback, un
til a few years before his death.
THE ELKIN TRIBUNE, ELKIN, NORTH CAROLINA
He engaged in numerous occupa
tions and was continually occu
pied with existing business af
fairs. And his great ambition
was to impress upon others the
fact that they could do just as he
had done if they made the proper
bargain with themselves to do the
ri"ht thing—to live temperately.
He never consumed more than
twelve ounces of solid food daily,
which consisted chiefly of thin
soup, bread, eggs, meat or fish.
Vegetables he seldom ate because
they did not seem to agree with
him. But he drank every day a
few ounces of wine.
I remember greeting former
President Porfiro Diaz, of Mexico,
on his 85th birthday. He too was
abstemious in both eating and
drinking. He told me that that
morning he had gone into the
moun tains on foot and killed two
deer—a truly wonderful perform
ance for a man of his years who
had the cares of a great country
on his shoulders.

Modern Oak Ridge Church to Be
Dedicated Soon
Enter into a conversation with
any small group of people in the
Oak Ridge community three miles
south of here and sooner or
later you will find yourself dis
cussing with those people the fine
newly constructed modern church
that graces the place where the
original structure stood until it
was razed a few months ago to
make way for the larger and
more modern building.
These people are proud of their
accomplishment in the building
and financing of this church as
they have a right to be. It was
built and financed entirely as a
community project. At the pres
ent time there is perhaps not a
single dollar of indebtedness on
the structure. If there is any in
debtedness there is a single con
tribution awaiting collection that
will take care of debt that migh
be hanging over the building or
its furniture. One week ago there
was not a single piece of work
not paid for. Only a few pews
were yet to be built and paid for
and the above mention collection
was to care for that.
The organization of Oak Ridge
church dates back to July 9,
1904. On that day a large num
ber of people met in Brown's old
school house to organize a church.
The organization work went
through that day and as a result
a Baptist church was organized.
Thya first pastor of the original
Oak Ridge church was J. W. Bry
ant; the first secretary, H. W.
Wagoner. Charter members of
this Christian organization which
have played a great part in the
lives of these sturdy Christian
rural folk were F. A. Adams, J.
T. Rutledge, T. B. Wagoner, D. H.
Moxley, T. W. Wagoner, H. W.
Wagoner and Priscilla Brown,
Maggie Moxley, Catherine Cass
tevens, Fannie Moxley and Mary
Moxley.
The first Sunday school was
held in the community a few
months before the decision was
made to build the church. The
building was a small tenant house
built on the farm of Daniel Mox
ley.
To decide to do a thing was
practically as good as completing
the job with these people. They
started the church in the fall of
1904 and on the first Sunday in
May they moved into the struc
ture for the dedicatory service.
The entire community played a
great part in building this church,
but the services of J. C. Brown,
one of the members of the pres
ent church, played a greater part
than any other. He bore the
brunt of the financial worries and
kept the work moving. Practically
every piece of timber that went
into the original came out of the
fine forests of pine and oak that
were abundant in the community.
The men gave of their time, tal
ents and materials freely. In
those days there was little money
to give, but little was needed.
With the new structure the
same building methods hold true.
It was built as a community pro
ject. The cost, however, is a far
greater item. Where the original
cost a mere 30 dollars, the pres
ent one cost $3,000. If it had
been contracted, the builders es
timated that the cost would have
been between four and five thou
sand dollars. The present church
is modem in every way, with
electric lights, elevated floor,
which is made of oak, two Sun
day school rooms, and pews built
of home labor that are as com
fortable as can be found in city
churches.
The present church is twice as
large as the old one and has a
seating capacity of 600.
The church is built out of first
class lumber all the way, and is
as good a piece of workmanship
as can be found in any building
of the same type. All the car
penter work was supervised by
Fred Williams who is a master
carpenter himself. The total
money expended for labor bills
was $349. Patrons donated free
ly, some giving as much as $75.
One ingenious device for raising
money was used by Pastor Cleat
Simmons. He donated $lO in
dimes and challenged patrons to
take one and add as much to it
as possible. In this way $454 was
raised.
The building was started the
last week in December and was
! completed in April. It will be
dedicated sometime withing an
other month.
Under the leadership of Rev.
Cleat Simmons who also has a
pastorate at Swaim's Knob Bap
tist church, the congregation has
doubled in the past 18 months,
and has added approximately 70
j new members. "ITiere were 38
I confessions at one revival.
Any rural community that can
j foster the spirit of cooperation
i that these people have shown,
!can raise $3,000 dollars in money
in one year's time when the only
occupation is farming and can
still give freely of their time and
talents is to be congratulated.
Yes, these people are # proud of
their church, and their commun
ity, and they have a right to be.
They have prospered in recent
years from raising fine crops of
tobacco, and are following God's
Plan in giving freely to His cause.
Fly Hit Note
In the midst of a recent re
hearsal, Hans Richter, the Vien
nese conductor, was suddenly
startled by a loud and unplan
ned-for blast from the bass trom
bone. Richter tapped on his stand
indignantly and called the of
fender forward. "What do you
mean by blowing that note when
there is nothing to blow?" he
barked. The musician was all
mystified innocence. "It's here,"
he protested, "the note is right
here in my score!" Richter
reached down to take the sheet
of music, when suddenly the note
disappeared. "Why," said the
trombonist, "I've played a fly!"
