Baptist Missionary Supper Big Success The chicken supper sponsored by ; 'the Circles Nos. 2 and 4, of the Bap- ' list Woman's Missionary Society, at ! the ladies parlor of the church last j Thursday night was quite a big sue- J cess both socially and financially. Seventy one places were laid, and ; the supper was served American j style. The returns amounted to $71, all of which was practically clear. . Expenses amounted to $7.50. The affair was an enjoyable one. | The large rectangular table was loaded down with good thing-* to eat j that i- chicken and all the trim- i min's. Dr. I. N. Hill was designated by acclamation as the one who ate j the most, and was given a boquet of | johnquils. John Odell received the second prize, which was a big stalk , of eelcry and he even ate that. Mrs. Charles Carringer is chair man or leader of Circle No. 2. and , Mrs. Bessie Dewee e is chairman of] ; Circle No. -1. The money is to be i ; used by the society in paying on the j i debt of the church, $1000.00 being J the amount the society plans to raise j this year. i "While it was yet dark" on Easter Sunday morning we went in the quiet of the hour to the Garden tomb the empty tomb, which thousands be lieve to be the one from which our Lord came on the morning of the resurrection. It seemed that at no time during our stay in Jerusalem was it as quiet as on this Raster morning. Everyone conducted them selves in keeping with the day. We arrived at the tomb just as the day began to dawn. In the Gar den in Which we found the empty tomb we found some worshippers who had proceeded us to the tomb. They were alone in the garden, or were standing a .short distance from each other. Each worshipper appear ed to be unconscious of the presence of the other. Some with Bible? open, others praying, while one sat near est the door in lost adoration and meditation. Our party gathered in a circle about the open dcor that leads into the empty tomb for cur early morn ing service. We sang from our heart the following words: "Lo in the grave He lay Jesus, my Saviour Waiting the coming day ? Jesus, my Lord ! Up from the grave He arose. With a mighty triumph o'er his foes He arose a victor from the dark domain, And He lives forever with His l saints to reign. He arose! He arose! Hallelujah! Christ arose!" As we sat there looking into the door out from which He came, our , hearts were stirred within us. The I speaker for the service was our di rector, Rev. Carl Koeker. He used as his text the words of Matthedw 28:9, "And as they went to tell His disciples, behold Jesus met them, say ing, 'All hail.' " It is impossible to express in words the deep emotional feeling which comes to one at such a place at such a time. It was easy to go back in imagination to the time when Jesus came foi'th from this tomb as "the first fruits of them that slept." This was the highest moment of spiritual inspiration of the entire journey. Following the service some of us lingered by the door of the tomb for further meditation and prayer. The writer lingered to weep there, not as we sometimes weep because of sor row, but it was a joyous weping. The Spirit of the resurrected Christ mdae Himself felt as we lingered to com mune with Him near the spot of the greatest miracle of the ages. We had the privilege of entering I the tomb. Entering the door there is a part of the tomb in which viiu may stand and view the place where He was laid. Just above this place on the outer wall, there is an open ing which lets in the light. With this light, it is ea^y to see the whole tomb with the door closed. We stood, about twelve of us, and looked upon the place where His body rested from the afternoon of the day of the crucifixion until the morning when He arose. 'The tomb is just a plain ope hewn from a big dock, the part of a high hill near the Damascus Gate. After everyone had gone, the writ ler went quietly to the eastern side of the garden. In that direction , stands Mount Calvary, or "Gordon's Calvary" as it is more commonly known. This place of the cricifixion stands only a short distance from the tomb. Standing there in the shadow of Golgotha the following words came with a new meaning. "When I survey the wondrous cross On which the Prince of Glory died, My richest gain 1 count but loss. And pour contempt on all my pride "Forbid it, Lord, that I should boast Save in the death of Christ, my God, All the vain things that charm me most, I sacrifice them to His blood. "See, from His head, His hands, His feet, Sorrow and love flow mingled down : Did e'er such love and sorrow meet Or thorns compose so rich a crown "Were the whole realm of nature mine, That were a present far too small, Love so amazing, so divine, Demands my soul, my life, my all." Easter Sunday morning at eleven o'clock we worshipped at the Ameri can church, which is a church of the Christian and Missionary Alliance Movement. This was a service of un usual interest to those of us who were visitors. They have a very nice church and its influence is being felt in Jerusalem. Dr. Forrest, of Geor gia, was the speaker of the morning. Ir. the evening we gathered in the parlor of the American colony and had a hymn sing of the hymns ap propriate for Easter Sunday evening. Many creeds were represented, but they were lost in the deeper things of the Spirit. In our next chapter we will make the trip to Emmaus. (To be continued) MANY CASES BEING HEARD IN COURT Judge J. M. Oglesby Presiding So licitor John M. Queen Appear ing for First Time Many cases are bir.g heard in su perior court this week by Judge J. M. Oglesby, of Concord, and it will perhaps require the entire week and part of next to finish the criminal locket.

Judge Oglcsby serv d notice that bis court would be -onducted on a pay-as-you go basis, iplying that if defendant-' did not ha\e the money to pay fine and casts < y needed work and he would see that they got. it. Solicitor John M. Queen, of Way nesville, i.- hen appearing for the state for the firSt time, following his election last fall. His pep and energetic p<losecution is making a favorable impression upon court at tendants. .Mr. Queen lost the fir?t case he tried, but Judire Oglesby ordered the defendant, Kollin TayloT, who was charged with aiding and I abetting ir. the manufacture of whis key. in the custody of the sheriff | pending a new bill of indictment. Despite the inclement weather, large crowds have been in attend ance upo nthe < ourt sessions, some i a - witnesses and others as spectators. There are several eases to be tried I for murder in various degrees, and the interest in these cases is being j.hown by the fact that, the crowds i are still in attendance. j The grand jury chosen) Monday I morning will serve for one year, in 'accordance with the new errand jury j law recently passed by the Legisla ture. 'The list of grand jurors fol lows : W. L. Matheson, foreman, G. W. Chambers, Luther Truett, Jeff Grain, | G. J. Johnson, T. C. Kilpa trick, P. L. Robinson, B. P.

SCHOOLS Local Furniture Manufacturer Is Op timistic Over Outlook For Business O W. D. Townson, well known local furniture manufacturer, recently re ceived a letter from State Supervisor of Schools for Georgia, W. L. Downs, commending him highly on the class of desks, tables, chairs and other school furniture he is building, and telling him that there was a lot of this business in Georgia which would be thrown his way. Mr. Downs was a Tecent visitor to the school at Blue Ridge, Ga., j which is equipped with desks, chairs, i tables, and even a living room suite which was built by Mr. Townson at Murphy. Other schools in Georgia j which have been equipped witi? furni ture built by Mr. Townson are: Cam illa, Young Harris, Morganton, and Thomasville. Kquipment for the school at Camilla is now being built and will be shipped in a few day?. Mr. Downs stated that he was much impressed with the class of work turned out by Mr. Tcwnson and the reasonableness of his prices. Mr. Townson works two men in his factory, which is housed in a small building on a side street in back of his furniture store. Some times when work demands it he works more men. The building is crammed full of machinery, some of which was added last year, for build ing practically any piece of furni ture imaginable. And the class of furniture he is building will surprise you. It looks well, and is built much more sub stantial and serviceable than most furniture selling for nearly double the price. If you don't believe he is 'building good furniture, tdrop around some time and let him show some of it to you. Mr. Townson is highly optimist ?' over the outlook for future business, and says that the furniture business is already showing a marked improve ment. Miss Alline Richardson of Greens boro is spending the Easter holiday with her parents, Mr. and Mr J A. Richardson.
