Honeycutte Stars
in His Last Game
The Demolay chapter of'Asheville
sent a basketball five out to Mars
Hill to Rck Oren Robert’s Lions, but
when the clamor and fury of battle
was over those kings of the jungle
had raked in a 51-28 victory.
The game started off with a rush
both teams pla5ung so fast that it
was impossible to see which was the
better five. After the first ejuarte
was well under way, it became ap
parent that the local aggregation
would be victorious. The score at the
end of the quarter was 11-6 in favor
of Mars Hill.
Both teams put on additional steam
for the second quarter, and the
game became noticeably rougher.
“Crip” Honeycutt, realizing that he
was playing his last basketball game
for his Alma-Mater, began to ring
up goals in a near to spectacular
fashion. W’hen the shrill blast of the
peace makers whistle sounded for
the close of the half, the locals led
22-10.
“I see not a step before me
As I tread on another year.
But the past is still in God’s keep
ing,
'I’he future His mercy shall clear.
And what looks dark in the dis
tance
May brighten as I draw near.” ,

As Bill Parker came through Hen
dersonville, he was heard singing
this song in a mournful tone: “Oh,
it’s home again, home again Can-
totn for me.
But the face of my darRng Raye
is what I long to see.”
During the rest period the fans
staged a show similar to that of the
pacifist party nominating convention
when it nominated Andy Gump. The
males and females vied with each
other to determine which could make
the most noise. The judges had not
rendered their decisions when the
giune was resumed.
Both'teams lost no time in getting
warmed up, and the score keeper was
soon marking up tallies again. It
was in this period that Mars Hi)
staged the most damaging offensive-
spurt of the evening. Travis and
Suggs kept the ball away from the
i enemies’ goal while Fuzz, Bert, and
iCrip tossed the good baskets. When
the quarter ended Mars Hill had
scored 38 points while Demolay had
registered 16. The fourth period was
a different story. Demolay took the
offense and made a game but fruit
less rally. That quint out passed and
out shot Mars Hill during the last
quai'ter but could not overcome the
large lead piled up earlier in the
game. Both teams were slowing up
when the game ended.

Dr. J. Sprole Lyons
Speaks in Chapel
Dr. J. Sprole Lyons of the Ashe-
rille School for boys spoke in chapel
recently from the texts Mark 4:1-12
and Hebrews 4:15 on the subject,
“God Will Toward Me in My Life
Work.”
Each person desires to know the
wiU of God in Ms life first hand;
any other way is defiled. There are
only four attitudes that a person can
take toward God’s will when facing
his own Rfe. One may seek to gratify
self, to gain fame, to acquire wealthfi
or to do the will of God. No one
■will fully adopt any one of the first
three; but one will live a combina
tion of these three or choose to do
God’s absolute -will.
The devil tempted Christ to exact
ly this schedule. He was hungry; the
deril set an opportunity of food be
fore him; the wealth of the world
was flashed before his eyes; an op
portunity for immediate fame was
offered; Christ chose to do the will
of His Father.
Although it seems a great sacri
fice to leave all for Him, God gives
back whatsoever and more that may
be ^ven up for Him.
The principles which governe
Christ were honesty, purity o
thought, word, and deed, unselfish
ness, and love. There is no normal
development of wisdom apart from
wisdom no normal development phy
sically without purity, no possibility
of development with God without
love or with man aside from use
fulness, said Mr. Lyons, and he chal
lenged anyone to add to, or sub
tract from, his statements.
