THE PROPHETS

4:10-11; Mfcah 4:1-3; Zeph. 3:9.
GOLDEN TEXT ? "The .Gentiles shall
come to thy light, and kings to the
brightness of thy rising." ? Isa. 60 3
PRIMARY TOPIC? The Story ef
Jonah. '
JUNIOR TOPIC ? God's Love for All
Nations.
INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOP
IC ? Prophets as Missionaries.
YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC
The Missionary Message of the
Prophets.
Terhaps the best way to teach this
lesson will be to note the message of
the individual prophets.
I. The Message of Isaiah (Isa.
60:1-3).
1. Its Central Fact (v. 1). Israel'?
light, her Redeemer, has come. The
primary meaning of this is not the in
carnation of the Redeemer, bi/t His
manifestation in glory and power as
He comes back to this earth to reign
as Israel's King. This glorious fact
is presented under the figure of a
bright sunrising. It will be a glorious
morning without clouds dawning upon
a dark world.
2. The, Ringing Summons (v. 1).
Messiah himself calls Israel to arouse
herself from her long sleep of in
difference and shine forth in the glory
of her glorious king. '
3. The Darkened Earth (v. 2). In
spite of all the progress of the arts
and sciences spiritual darkness ?
blindness touching spiritual things ?
has settled down upon the earth. It
will be peculiarly gross in the last
days. It can only be dispelled- by the
glorious appearing of the Lord.
4. The Blessed Result (v. 3). The
Gentile nation shall come into the
light, being attracted to Zion by the
appearing of the Lord. In the midst
of such darkness the sudden appear
ing of the Ugfrt shall attract the na
tions and draw them to Jerusalem.
II. The Message of Jtnah (Jonah
4:10, U).
Jonah was commanded by the Lord
to go to the wicked city Nineveh and
proclaim its destruction in forty, days.
He started in the opposite direction in
order to escape this unpleasant task.
A storm came up and the superstitious
sailors tlfrew him overboard. He was
swallowed by a great flab and after
three days and nights was cast upon
the shore. Having learned the needed
lesson he went to Nineveh anji
preached with such earnestness that
the whole city repented. The mercy
shown by the Lord in sparing this
wicked city so angered Jonah that he
went out of the city and Improvised
a shelter where he could see whether
God would really destroy Nineveh. To
protect the prophet, God made a
gourd to quickly spring up and throw
a shade over hlnv When the gourd
died and left Jonah exposed to the
burning sun he prayed for death. The
particular message of Jonah is that
God is great In mercy to all the na
tions when they penitently turn unto
Him from their sins.
III. The Message ef Micah (Micah
4: 1-3).
In this message the prophet portrays
the blessings of the Messiah's king
dom in the last days. Three things
are predicted:
1. The Supremacy of His Kingdom
(v. 1). It shall be exalted above all
the kingdoms of the earth. Its glory
shall attract 'the people from afar.
2. Ttie Extent of It (v. 2). Many
naTions shall come with the urgent re
quest that others accompany them.
The kingdom of Messiah shall be un -
versal it shall extend fwrn sea to sea
and from the river to the ends of the
earth. , v_
3. It Shall Bring Peace (v. 3). kn
mltV will then bQ taken from mens
hearts and they will lore ea<* other.
When their hearts are changed they
will no longer wage war dgginst each !
other, they will even ?*?troy ""f
implements of warfare. War will eon
tinue till men's hearts are regener
ated. ' The way to get wars te cease
is to get men to love Jesus ^st
IV. The Message of Zephanian
^ephanlali declares that following
the Judgment upon the nation. God
will turn the people from the ' lm
pur. speech so that they m?ycaU upon
Him. He declares that God's M
that all rations turn from their A t y
conversation and call upon ?
desires that all nations should come
unto Him.

FJIILS TO ACT IN BANK CASE
Court Hands Down Batch of Opinions
Including Buncombe School Tax
Case
Raleigh.
Emergency judges have no jurisdic
tion in mandamus proceedings, the
supreme court held in affirming the
action of Emergency Judge Oliver H.
Allen, who refused the petition of
Charles F. Dunn, of Lenoir county,
for a mandamus to force the Lenior
sheriff to execute a tax deed.
Associate Justice Heriot Clarkson
wrote the opinion, which settled an
interesting point as to judicial juris
diction. Judge Allen was serving ^s
an emergency judge at the time, and*
when he refused to issue the man
damus on the ground that he did not
possess the ri^ht, Dunn appealed to
the higher court.
I A $75,000 school bond issue voted
by the Grace tax district of Uun
I combe county is sustained by an
opinion declaring chapter 722 of the
I 1915 public laws legal and constitu
| tional. Claude L. Felmet sought to
! have the Buncombe county commis
sioners enjoined from issuing the
bonds on the ground that chapter
722, under which the election was
j held, was inconsistent with the gen
i eral school laws and. contrary to ar
ticle eight, section four, of the con
I stitution.
The court failed to act, in the case
! of J. H. Hightower, former president
of the defunct Central Bank and Trust
company, of Raleigh, who appealed
; from a two-year sentence imposed in

i
Yield of State Hay Crops.
| North Carolina grows a great many
I different varieties of hay crops, per
j haps more than any other state, ac
j cording to Frank Parker, agricultural
! statistician of the Crop Reporting
ifcervlce of the Department of Agricul
! ture, who announced the results of
' an investigation into the yield per
acre of hay crops grown In this state.
Mr. Parker said that, according to
information he had obtained the im
j portant North Carolina hay crops this
| year have made the following yields
per acre, expressed In pounds and
averaged for the state:
Cowpeas 2,50 pounds, millet, sor
ghum and soudan grass, 2,800 combi
nation*^ cowpeas and sorghum 2,865;
clover (all kinds) 2,440; timothy, in
cluding timothy and clover mixed,
2,250; alfalfa 3,100, soy beans 2,500;
grains cut green 2.170; peanuts 1,440;
Johnson grasp 2,660, and the average
for all tame dr cutlivated hay 2,028.
As reported for October 1, tfce acre
age of all tame hays is somewhat
le ss this year than last, said Mr. Par
ker. Due to a wet season for hay in
the eastern part of the state and to
#the harvesting of much land on which
other crops were generally planted
last year's hay crop was a record
breaker in North Carolina.
i
Common Labor Still Short.
Surplus of domestic labor in resort
towns, surplus of untrained clerical
help generally and a shortage of com
mon labor characterizes the labor sit
uation in the state as reported to M. L.
Shipman, Director of the Employment
Service in North Carolina.
Out of a registration totaling 522,
the six offices of the service in the
state Jast week referred 540 persons
and placed#472 in positions. These
placements included 120 skilled labor
ers; 241 unskilled. ?

Fire Lost Larger For September.
While it is impossible yet * to M?
?iurately give the fire loss of North
Carolina during September, Insurance
Commissioner Wade states that the
loss, can be fairly approximated as
not to exceed $300,000. The loss dur
ing August amounted to $84,000, and
would have been duplicated in Sep
tember but for the fact that there
were 11 business, lighting and lumber
fires aggregating $265,000 aaginst
only ,three ft)r August with total of
$50,000.
Of the big total for business fires,
however, the commissioner*says $20,
200 was caused by lightning,' a store
and, contents at Salisbury, $10,200,
and a factory in the suburbs of Dur
ham, $10,000. Lightning fires have
been numerous this season beginning
in April, and continuing through
September, both unusual months. Th?
department records show the follow
ing, with damage incurred: April,
two fires, loss $3,000; May, three,
$39,700; June, five, $17,800; July;
eleven, $12,750; August, eight, $11,000;
September, five, $24,600; a total of
$108,850.
From the fact that not a single one
of these fires was on a rodded build
ing, and no instance of such is on
record since the department has kept
a record, lightning fires are now class
ed among "avoidable causes" in fire
prevention circles.
In spite of the increased fire loss
of September over the lowest record
ever made for August, the showing,
says Commissioner Wade, will be even
better than August for the important
towns where people are 'congregated
and fire producing elements and
agents are ever in use. The biggest
city in the State, Winston-Salem, will
show a loss of only $60, with small
losses and few fires in Raleigh, Char
lotte, Asheville, and Wilmington.
There will be another long list of
towns' having no fire damgae, includ
ing Greensboro, Henderson, Golds
boro, Kinston, Mount Airy, Reidsville,
Oxford, Roxboro, Marion, Louisburg,
Aberdeen; Sanford, Dunn, Burlington
and a half a hundred others this par
ly for reports.
Commissioner Wade is looking for
ward to a splendid observance of Fire
Prevention week, and from hearty
responses to his and Governor Mor
rison's call for service, that are load
ing his mail from every section of the
State, he is greatly encouraged over
the prospect of a general awakening to
the fire peril, and the putting into
effect by individuals and communities,
the ordinary means of preventing the
greater loss of life and property.
Three Paroled Nine Refused.
Governor Morrison granted three
paroles and refused to interfere in j
nine other cases in which petitions
for parole or pardon has been pre
sented to him.

? Olive Emblem of Atheni.
How the olive tree came to be the
emblem of Athens is told In Greek
mythology. Two deities ? Minerva and
Neptune ? wished to found a city on
the same spot, and, referring the mat
ter to Jove, the king of gods and men
decreed that the privilege should be
granted to whichever would bestow
the most useful gift on the future in
habitants. Neptune struck the earth
with his trident and forth came a war
horse. Minerva produced an olive
tree, emblem of peace.
Jove's verdict was In favor of Mi
nerva, who thus became the patron
Coddess of Athens.

"You go to your druggist," said the
doctor to his patient, "and ask him
for some lodhydrargyate of iodine of
potassium, some ankydroglucochloral
and some dloxyamldoarseno-bonzol,
and I should not be surprised if with
those we shall be able to triumph over
your loss of memory."

has no taste for is at the bottom of

His oration was long and passionate
and he wished to end It with a want

He could have couched his warming

but that was too commonplace. He
wanted something original.
He thought of something better.
