C. Matter. THURSDAY, JULY 11, 1935 A GOOD BEGINNING Dare County, the birthplace of the nation, and upon whose dunes of sand man first contrived to soar above the ground, is being congratulated upon the establishment of the Dare County News, the first journal of publicity to be mailed from the borders of the Roanoke Island, and judging from the first copy, well eaiiea ana typographically pleasing. the newcomer in the field of journalism is going to succeed well. Dare County is to profit much by its newest enterprise, which will do much to enlighten the outside world as to the advantages of the most pleasingly ' unique region we have visited. ; And our contemporary down by 1 the sea has our felicitations and f best wishes for a large measure t BOWMAN (.RAY c Bowman Cray, winston-Saiem tobacco magnate and chairman J. of the board oi' the R. J. Reyn- , olds Company, died on a North Cape cruise Sunday and the , Staid is taking note oi the pass- , ing of one of its most omsland- i ing geniuses of finance. Mr. s Gray, cold and reserved, a busi- ' liess man thiough and through, * was, under the surface, a man J of noble impulse and pbilanthro- ( pic action, and his going is the ; cause for regret both among the c captains of industrj' and the pro- < letariat. : According to the wishes of Mr. ' Gray, his body was lowered into J the ocean, as the midnight sun , cast a glow on the deep, and only ' some Scandinavian sailors and members of the family stood on deck as the funeral dirge was . sounded Death equalizes all. The millionaire and the stricken slave from the bowels of a freighter now have a common habitat, are alike in the enjoyment of money and the luxuries and conveniences it represents, and the denizens of the deep will know no difference when they meet the two on the ocean's floor. The Grim Reaper brings the fortunes of prince and pauper together. SWITCHING THE COMPASS? The map of the Park to Park Highway, furnished by the landscape architect for the National Park Service at Roanoke, and which The Democrat last noted published in the Skyland Post, has furnished us something new in geographical information and has caused R. Don Laws of Yellow Jacket fame to wonder if the New Deal "has reversed the cardinal points of the compass, repealed the lines of latitude and longitude and set geography in reverse gear. By reference to the map we find that if we journey down the Boone Trail, we will find Spruce Pine where North Wilkesboro used to be. and that Roanoke, Va? will be in the same general territory once inhabited by Erwin, Tenn. North Carolina is bounded on the northeast by South Carolina and a sprig of Georgi,", and Virginia is to the south and west; Greenville, S. C., is up somewhere in the vicin- ? it.. ~? ...U. -NT ?-11 1 luj va wncic iuiA. iiugui nave | been at one time, and Bluefield is due south of Mount Airy. Over 1 near Richmond, which on the map is miles and miles due west ( of Winston-Salem, one finds the f customary pointers, indicating , that the north position is west \ by south. i If the construction of the * Parkway road should be execut- * ed in the same thought as was t shown by the architect, Boone ( folks would likely be able to i drive over to Kankakee after c supper rather than Blowing t Rock. s jg~~- - - THE BOOK .... the first line of which reads "The Holy Bible," and which contains Four Great Treasures .... By BRUCE BARTON STORY OF THE BIBLE A s thftsp- hTiaiitprs havp anneartti in serial forrr. a surgeon of rational reputation sent this request: Before you finish your story of the Rno!:. please be sure to give us the answer to these two questions: "2. How were the books of the Bible gathered into a collection and distinguished as a group by themselves? Who selected them and how do we know that the right ones were selected? *2. By what means were these chosen books preserved and handed down? Who decided that they ought to be translated into modern languages and who did the translating?' Let us deal first with the Old Testament. It would be very pleasant if we could say that some one group of men. meeting in Jerusalem about 400 B. C., selected the books which we now have and certified for all time that these and no others should be the Old Testament. But such is not the case. As the writing of these books was an evolution, so was their selection. Largely, they have been preserved to us by the process known as the survival of the fittest. The ancient Hebrews held many of their books in high regard, of which nearly thirty are referred to in the Uld Testament. Twenty-four of these are sunk beyond all knowledge. The story about the sun standing still for Joshua is quoted from an old book of war songs known as the Book of Jasher or the Book of the Just (Joshua 10:13). David's "Song of the Bow" (II Samuel 1*18) is from the same >3ok. but except for these fragments the Book cf the Just has perished. 5o also has another old song book, The Bool? of the Wars of the Cord, f which we have a fragment in the wenty-first chapter of Numbers, the ourteenth verse. File books of lyings w- largely :ompile?! from more extended records, srimetimes arc referred to by^ tame. This is not the book of Chroni:Ios that we have, which was written onor aftrr the r ook of Kinrs We see, then, that the Old Tcstaiicnt is the surviving portion of a nueh larger number of books. II does lot comprise sacred as opposed to tecuiar books, but is the whole body >f an ancient Hebrew literature now srtant. Philo, an Alexandrian Jew vho lived in the second century heore the Christian era, gives a list of jocks nearly identical with those we lave hut omits seventeen that are in >ur list. Jesus, the son of Sirach. iloseiy parallels our list but does not stop with it. He recognizes the work jf a contemporary, Simon, as worthy :o be included and. what is rather remarkable- he thinks his own book jood enough to be a part of the Bible. Next Week: Acknowledged Body of Books. The Family Doctor By DR. JOHN JOSEPH GAINES TO WEARERS OF SPECTACLES Do your glasses fit ? II would seem, iii mwi: ua.vs ui superauunaant. service right at our elbows, that ill-fitting spectacles could seldom be found. Personal experience, however, loads me to write this letter on this very important subject. For years I straggled with bi-focal' enses. Every time I descended stairs, >r walked up and down terraced steps outdoors, I groped through the readng segment of these lenses, and I ran assure you, it was quite a cross .0 bear. . . . Looking at the steps hiougjt segments of glass-that were nade for a 17-inch reading distance, tohverted for me a fitted lens into a nost ill-fitting one. Til-fitting spectacles have a most narked effect on the gait and genral comfort of wearers of glasses. I lave seen a chronic dizziness and even severe headaches set up by badly:orrected eyes. These were in paients who had neglected to visit the >ptician, and who had resorted to all torts of medical means for relief. I have seen many headaches and nuch other nagging distress relieved >y simple correction of the lenses vorn by the sufferer. I often send he dizzy patient to the optician, initead of giving him a packet of liver Jills, to nossihlv him If you are a wearer of glasses, try ;o see that they are perfectly adapt:d to your eyes. It will repay you in ronifort to do so. The eye is, periaps, your most delicately-poised fixure?do not neglect it. And, to older >atients?do not hurry into a pair of bi-focal" lenses; a pair for distance ind one for reading are better. MR. SOUTH WHITES AGAIN editor Democrat: Some time ago I wrote a letter to rhe Democrat on the "Temple of 5oa." One o. my friends, and a read;r of The Democrat, asked me to ex>lain a little farther. He quoted two Srerses of Scripture found in I John, rhese verses are in chapter 1, verses \ and 10. "If we say that we have no tin, we deceive ourselves, and the ruth is not in us"; and "If we say hat we have not sinned, we make lim a liar, and His word is not in is." No doubt the denyers of the Son >f God still called themselves Chrisians while they were yet condemned tinners. Please read the 19th chapter WATAUGA DEMOCRAT?EVEIV j of Acts. i These two verses oiled in the be] ginning: <3o not apply to a follower of J Christ, but to a sinner before regenjeration. With this in mind read Rominns 5-19-21. The world was lost in | j sin were it not for the death of Christ \ on the Cross. 1 he pain on the Cross I would not have been necessary had lit not been tor the redemption of the j world from sin. Then, when we come j to the age of accountability we must j be born again having this old body of j ciav swept and garnished, and washed ,| in the blood of Jesus by the forgiveIness of all sin. Anyone professing to Know Lroci ana going on n sin is wnat I call a lopper. iopping from one side to the other. We find in I John 3:6 these words: "He that committelh sin is of the devil: for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the Son] of God was manifested, that He might destroy the works of the devil." Now let us turn to Matthews' gospel (Matthew 5:14:16) where we find these words: Ye arc the light of the world. A city that is set or. an hill can not (I be hid. Neither do men light a candle and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick: and it gives light unto all that are in the house. Let your light so shine before men that they may see your good works, and glorify your father which is in heaven." There are too many that call themselves Christians that arc shining their light rather than letting their light shine. When anyone commits sin, he is dimming his light. The fellowship at the Lord's table demands separation from sin. If you do not believe this, please read I Corinthians 10:21-22: "Ye cannot drink, the cup of the Lord, and the cup of devils: ye cannot be partakers of the Lords table, and of the table of devils." Do we provoke th^ Lord to jealousy? Arc we stronger thai: He? Dear reader. [ am afraid that we provoke the Lord to jealousy when we, as professed Christians, mingle with the world and indulge in sinful deeds. Let us sec how to become partakers at the Lord's Table. We are delivered from the power of sin by union with Christ through regeneration and baptism. Now, if we nave been regenerated and baptized, we have tlio lilronoss of His death and resurrection. If we have been "horn ao.air." and crucified the I old "oody of sih; we should not serve J sin. Please read in conclusion Rom ans 5, 6 and 8. Think on these things, dear friend: -SAM S. SOUTH.
