THE CENTER OF INTEREST The Samaritan woman at Ja cob’s well stopped short, her in terest challenged in spite of her self; she set down the pitcher and looked at the stranger. It was a burning hot day; the well was far from the city; she was heated and tired. What did Jesus mean by such a remark ? She started to speak, checked herself and burst out impulsively, her curiosity over leaping her caution: “What are you talking about? Do you mean to say you ai'e great er than our father Jacob who gave us this well? Have you some mag ic that will save us this long walk in the sun?” Dramatic, isn’t it—a si»g,e sen tence achieving triumph, arousing interest and creating desire. With sure instinct Jesus followed up his initial advantage. He began to talk to her in terms of her own life, her ambitions, her hopes, knowing so well that each of us is interested first of all and most of all in himself. When the dis ciples came up a few minutes la ter they found an unbelievable sight—a Samaritan listening with rapt attention to the teaching of a Jew. He prepared to go but she would not allow it. Running back to the city she summoned her broth ers and relatives. “Come,” she cried, “and see a man who told me all things that ever I did.” They followed her out to the well—these prejudiced, reluctant men and women who, an hour be fore, would have thought it incred ible that they should ever hold con versation with one of their tradi tional enemies. It is said that great leaders are born, and not made. The saying is true to this degree, that no man can persuade people to do what he wants them to do, unless he genuine likes peo ple, and believes that what he wants them to do is to their own advantage. The secret of Jesus’ success was an affection for folks which so shone in his eyes and rang in his eyes and rang in his tones, that even the commonest man in a crowd felt instinctively that here was a friend . . . The afternoon shadows lengthened while he talk ed. It came time for the evening meal; again he prepared to go. Twice Beauty Winner QA-V Maxine Gagnon was picked by noted artists as one of the twenty most beautiful fashion mannequins in the U. 8. . . . Then in a later judging finished among tht irst five^ and declared the model and manne-' quin with the most personality. They would not hear of it. He must be their guest, meet their neighbors, tell [them more, per suade them further! “They besought him to abide with them; and he abode there two days.” Mrs. Lloyd Allen of Graham, spent the week-end with her grandmother, Mrs. Charlie Shell. “SPECTATOR” SPECULATES Simon Lake’s new baby subma rine can crowl around backward, forward, and sidewise on the bot tom. Well, now, doesn’t that sound like business? Nature hates monopolies and ex ceptions. A man who cannot speak for himself and who does things in fear as to whether it will please his better associate” is a cow ard. Gov. Pinchot says we think too much of our bankrolls. Well, theres no harm in reminiscing once in a while. A man cannot speak but he judges himself. Another endurance contest we don’t care at all for is the one prosperity is making staying around the corner. It wouldn’t be a bad idea at all to put the designers of bathing suits in charge of cutting the Gov ernmental budget. Yours, SPECTATOR. Mrs. George Fisher, Miss Mil dred Fisher and Noah Sadler, at tended the nurses graduation ex ercises in Rocky Mount last Fri day night. Mr. Jesse Speight is a patient in Roanoke Rapids Hospital. Clyde Taylor of Durham, N. C., was called here Sunday on account of the serious illness of his moth er, Mrs. John Taylor, who is ill in Roanoke Rapids Hospital. Wake Up Your Liver Bile —Without Calomel And You’ll Jump Out of Bed in the Morning Rarin’ to Go If you feel sour and sunk and the world looks punk, don’t swallow a lot of salts, mineral water, oil, laxative candy or chewing gum and expect them to make you suddenly sweet and buoyant and full of sunshine. For they can’t do it. They only move the bowels and a mere move ment doesn’t get at the cause. The reason for your down-and-out feeling is your liver. It should pour out two pounds of hauid bile into your bowels daily. If this bile is not flowing freely, your food doesn't digest. It just decays in the bowels. Gas bloats up your stomach. You have a thick, bad taste and your breath is foul, skin often breaks out in blemishes. Your bead aches and you feel down ami out. Your whole system is poisoned. It takes those good old BARTER’S LITTLE LTVER PILLS to get these two pounds of bile flowing freely and make you feel **up and up/* They contain wonderful, harmless, gentle vegetable extracts, amazing when it comes to making the bile flow freely. But don't ask for liver pills. Ask for Carter's Little Liver Pills. Look for the name Carter's Little Livei Pills *ra the red label. Resent a substitute. 25c at all stores. ® 1931, C. M.
