' The Golden Tcact was from Psalms 23: 5. "Thou preparest a ta ble before me in the presence of mine enemies." Among the citations- which com prised the Lesson-Sermon was the following from the Bible: "Now upon the first day of the week, viry early in the morning* they came unto th e sepulchre, bringing spices which they had prepared, and certain others with them. And they found the stone rolled away from the sepulchre. And it came to pass, as they wore much perplexed there about, behold, two men stood by them in shining garments: And as they were afraid and bowed down their faces to the earth, they said unto them, Why seek ye the living among the dead " (Luk e 24, 1-2-4- 5.) The Lesson-Sermon also included the following passage from the Christian Science textbook, "Science and Health with Key to the Scrip tures" by Mary Baker Eddy. "The spiritual essence of blood is sacri fice. The efficacy of Jesus spirit? ual offering is infinitely greater than can be expressed by our sense of human blood. The material blood of Jesus was no more effica cious to cleanse from sin when it was shed upon "the accursed tree" than when it was flowing in his veins as he went daily about his Father's business. His true flesh and blood were his Life, and they tru ly eat his flesh and drink his blood, who partake of that divine Life."

Up to December 15 this year, 2,895 actions were filed. Californiaus and New Yorkers ac counted for more than half the suits in 1936.

NORTH CAROLINA Urges Vineyards As Farm Activity Nash County Grower Surveys His Own Experience With Grapes Nashville, Jan. 2.—"A young man today might lay the foundation for a comfortable income, if he should plant a few acres in grape vines," 1 is the suggestion of Joseph R. Dan iel of Nash County in surveying the results of li vineyard lie has culti vated for the past 22 years. This year Mr. Daniel, owner and proprietor of a bonded winery, will realize in the neighborhood of $2,- 000 for wine he has made of the grapes harvested last' year from his three and one-half acres of vines. It is just another of many forms of diversified agriculture that give a farmer security when the common ' money crops fail, he says. Twenty-two years ago Mr. Daniel i planted a grape vine in the back yard of hi* farm house near Little ' Easonburg. Soon he planted another and another until he had covered an acre of his best farm land. The neighbors lauglited at him for de ■ voting his best land to "good-for nothing grape vines that' ain't worth a cuss, except to tangle in your legs 1 and break your neck." 1 Now, however, it's Mr. Daniel's 1 time to laugh. Those same neigh ' bors come around in the fall to buy ' grapes, and throughout the year they trickie in to purchase bonded I wines. His winery is the .only one ' in Nash County and one of nine in ' North Carolina. He says he had no idea when he ' started his vineyard years ago that ■ he'd ever get into the business of making wine. He first realized Ril ' income when neighbors began to ' learn that he had plenty of grapes I to sell. He turned them under his vines at 10c a head to eat all they : wanted, and charged them $2 a bushel when they picked the grapes 1 themselves. ; The 1935 N. C. liquor law made the manufacture of domestic fruit • juice wines legal, and Mr. Daniel's 1 opportunity arrived. In September, ' 1935, lie obtained Federal authoriza tion to estblish wiiiery. His 3 1-2- cre' vineyard yielded all the fruit lie could use, and he had three va ' rieties, James, Concord and Scupper r nong. He posted the necessary $5OO bond : and turned to his mother for ■ instructions. He had assisted his eld -1 est make wine back in preprohibi tion days and he hadnt forgotten the tricks. The 15)35 harvest turned j out a crop that. he mad© into 550 : MUSIC STORE SELLING OUT It will not pay us to keep open store here further, so we have decided to sell our entir e stock of instruments AT AND BELOW COST LOOK!

The 1936 crop yield- | ed 1,000 gallons, and then he had sold hundreds of bushels of grapes I from the vines. Since Hit beginning, Daniel has added Blackberry io his three! grape brands of and next year, he says, Ue- hnfWfr to make strawberry, peach anil apple wines. | His process, according to his own , way of thinking, is simple. He pulps ; and presses his grapes, places four bushels in a 50-gallon barrel and adds 100 pounds of sugar. The mix ture sets for 10 days and is stirred each day. 4rfter 10 days, the pulps and hulls aty pressed out and the liquid is poured into other 50-gallon bnrrels to "work off" and is then ready for bottling. A 50-gallon barrel of completely fermented wine requires six bush els of grapes and approximately 125 pounds of sugar. This formula gives wine almost purely fruit juice. Mr. • Daniel refuses to use yeast or any other artificial processes by which lie could increase his output per bushel. He says the quality could 1 not be maintained. 1 He says James grape wine sells ' better than any other. The reason, 1 h e opines, is its vivid color and the fact that generally James grapes produce a wine of slightly higher ' alcoholic content than other varie ties. None of his wing can exceed 21 per cent by volume. Of the 1,000 gallons he made last year, most of it still remains in bar-? rels in his storage warehouse. Wh'n asked why he didn't advertise his product and sell it out, he said, "Well, I know it's here. Other peo ple will learn, and the money will come in handy if it's only a little all along." 1 WORLD'S CHAMPION SPEED SKATER. 4 Kit Klein, says: "I like to enjoy ' them while I'm euting and afterwards." so%''! lit MM TED HUSING, ace sports announcer, says: PPIF " Mine's a hectic life but my digestion M&M keeps running smoothly.

Algebra follows English in po pularity, with 811,358 pupils studying it, while 47,149 take citizenship or civic courses. The figures for enrollment show ed the trend of pupils not to fin ish high school education. There were 59,799 who entered high school this year but in the second year there were only 45,183 nrolled. The third year total dropped to 34,993, the fourth to 27,207, and in fifth year of high school there were only 704 pupils entering. Though 25,518 enrolled for courses in world history and 29,209 in Unit ed States history this year, only 150 selected North Carolina history and only 1,948 modern history with 300 taking negro history. French is the most popular of the foreign languages, with 38,704 pupils enrolled for the two-year course, while 16,101 study the four-year La tin course with only 118 taking Ger man and 655 learning Spanish. Agriculture courses have 13,389 'enrolled and those in home econo- I mics have 31,184 students. ' Bible courses are studied by 927 students.
