A Thrilling Occasion
Just as the warm sun and gentle showers of
the few days since Spring made its official en- .
try Saturday are causing flowers to blcsscm. (
tender new plants to creep forth from their win- ,
ter bed in the moist, warm earth, and all ani- i
mate creation to take on new life, so is the Eas- J
ter season with its story of the Resurrection of i
Jesus bringing an awakening to the souls cf men
and women, boys and girls.
Throughout our county emphasis is being j a
placed on going to church on Easter Sunday. ,
Would that there were not one single person i
living such a remote life that he would not re- i
ceive some challenge cr invitation to attend Eas- '
ter services, either through personal contact. J
this paper, over the radio or some means cf com- 1
munication. J
The thrill of the occasion, celebrating an ev- i
ent that happened over nineteen hundred vears
ago, returns anew annually as feet and hearts ,
of people are drawn to some place of worship, i
No, it is not to display Easter costumes asd fine- -
andrv that some people attend services on Eas- \
ter and perhaps no more during the year. It is ?
that impelling force of the Easter spirit ? Life, ^
hope, joy and revelation.
Churches all over our land celebrate the Re
surrection cf the Lord every Sunday in their ,,
worship services. When Christian teaching is
able to impart to it? students the same signifi
cance to these weekly occasions as Easter br- c
ings, the world will be clcser to a realization of ?
the heavenly kingdom.
Go to church on Easter, and every Sunday. *
A Chance For All Children '
c
Every handicapped boy and girl has his place i
tc fill in our national life. And like true Ameri- j
cans, they stand ready to make a vital contribu- 1
tion to cur tctal welfare, if only they are given !
a chance to share in the production of useful i
things.
A chance to be well, a chance to go to school,
a chance to play, a chance to learn a trade or
profession, a chance to earn a living ? the sum
of these chances is the American ideal of a hap
py life, and also an assurance that this way of
life will continue.
The North Carolina League for Crippled
Children stands ready to use its every resource
to help assure every handicapped child in the
State an opportunity to take his rightful place
in the busy life of the land.
When you buy Easter Seals, you also buy
happiness and protection for our crippled child
ren.
The Easter Seal stands as a symbol of a com
plete program for crippled children, as yet dim
ly realized ? a goal-marker toward which A
merica is advancing. Your purchase of Easter
Seals will contribute toward the realization of
the ideal.

y Eternal Life
Lesson for March 28, 1948
'?'TME Lord has risen indeed.'
* and because he lives, we toe
;hall live. Easter is the day that re
ninds i:s of this blessed- truth? the
ruth of eternal life. Well has Henry
'.urti n t xpressed it in these lines:
There's a light upon the mountains
And the day is at the spring,
X'hen our eyes shall see the beauty
And the glory of the King;
X'eary uas our heart uith nailing,
And tic night u atch seemed so long
iut his triumph day if breaking,
And ti e hail it u ith a song.
He is breaking down the barriers;
lh is casing up the uay;
It is call :>ig for his angels
I o build up the gates of day;
Iut his angels here are human,
Sot the shining hosts above;
Ind the drumbeats of his army
Are the heartbeats of our love."
EAD John 21:1-14 for the ex
^ quisite account of Jesus appear
ig to his disciples in the early
lorning at the sea of Tiberias. They
had been toiling all
night, and had
taken nothing
Bringing their boat
near to the shore,
they saw one stand
ing there, ' but the
disciples knew rtot
that it was Jesus."
Jesus told them
to cast their net on
the right side of the
ship, which they
did. and they
caught 153 "great
shes." Jesus then summoned them
) breakfast. He had prepared the
read and fish on coals of fire. And
hey did eat.
?- t t t
LESSED ASSURANCE
3EF0RE his death, Jesus had
^ said to his disciples, "Because
live, you will live also," John 14: 19.
ut they did not fully grasp the
leaning of the great words. But
hat morning on the sea shore, they
nderstood. They remembered thai
e had died on the cross, and now.
hey were assured that he was real
j alive, for this was the third time
e had appeared unto the disciples
fter the resurrection.
How happy they must have
been'. How happy we should be
on this recurring Easter season,
assured that he is alive evermore.
And because he lives, we too shall
live. N
? ? ?
WAT IS ETERNAL LIFE?
SUNDAY'S lesson leads us on to
* the answer to the question. What
i eternal life? In Colossians 3:1-4
nd 12-17, we have the declaration.
Your life is hid with Christ in
od. . . " If we have believed on
im ? cast ourselves in implicit
rust into his keeping ? we have
ternal life, which is his gift to ev
ry believing heart.
Paul goes on to admonish those
who have "entered into life eter
nal," through faith in the riven,
risen, reigning Saviour, to put on
the garments of bis presence and
power and peace ? kindness, hu
mility, meekness, long-suffering,
forbearance, forgiveness.
The evidence of eternal life is to
e found in the fruits of the Spirit
n our daily lives.
? ? *
F.RTAINTY OF ETERNAL LIFE
L17"E READ in John 17:3 this
W word of further assurance,
'This is eternal life, that they know
hee the only true God, and Jesus
Christ whom thou hast sent." And
n I John 5:11-12, we read, "And
his is the record, that God hath
[iven to us eternal life, and this life
s in h?s Son. He that hath the Son
lath life; and he that hath not the
ion of God hath not life."
In another passage John tells
that we know that we have passed
from death unto life because we
love the brethren.
Easter is the day of eternal
lope. It lifts above the fog of earlh
ness the glory of the blessed hope
hat fadeth not away. We have God's
)wn testimony that we shall live
vith him forever, through Jesus
Christ, our risen, reigning, return
ng Lord.

Our Richest Treasure
The Bible walks the ways of all
the world with familiar feet and
enters land after land to find its
own everywhere. Children listen to
its stories with wonder and delight,
and wise men ponder them as par
ables of life. The wicked and the
proud tremble at its warnings, but
to the wounded and the penitent it
has a mother's voice. It has woven
itself into our dearest dreams; so
that love, friendship, sympathy, de
votion, memory, hope, put on the
beautiful garments of its treasured
speech. No man is poor or desolate
who has this treasure for his own
?Henry Van Dyke.
During the week ending Janu

iVanderbilt Squad
Invited To Drill In
Andrews Next Fall
Vanderbilt University has been
invited by Bill Teas of Andrews
, to hold its early September foot
ball drills in Andrews. Following
*ion of the Andrews football
team's banquet. Fred Russell,
sports editor of the Nashville (
Tenn.> Banner wrote the follow
ing in his column, "Sidelines":
&quad Invited to Andrews
Vanderbilt has been invited to
I hold its early September football |
j c' rills in the mountains of North
, Carolina. The extender of the
j invitation is a former Nashvillian.
! Vv". T. i Dill Teas, a prominent
| manufacture'.* at Andrews, a
, beautiful little valley town about
j 100 miles from Chattanooga and
j 15 miles from Murphy. N. C.
The idea is for the towns of
Andrews and Murphy to under
vvrite the project as a worthwhile
advertising and publicity venture
for the resort facilities offered
there in the Lake Hiawassee area.
Charlie Rolfe, who has a summer
home at Andrews, and John Teas
( f Nashville have joined in back
ing the offer.
Incidentally, Bill Teas is doing
some wonderful work for the
high school boys at Andrews. He
has been a leading figure in con- ,
st ruction of a playing field. and
Friday night tendered a banquet
for the high school squad which
featured the appearance of Coach
Sanders and the showing of Van
derbilt movies.
Yttun? Teas Top Fighter
Bill Teas. Jr.. by the way, is
making quite a record as a boxer
:;t Baylor School in Chattanooga.
Recently Buss Walker of the
Chattanooga Times wrote:
"Young Teas. 15 years old, was
the most talked-of fighter in the
Mid-South tournament, winning
the championship in the 132-pou.id
class. Don Mclntyre. the Castle
Heights boy whom Teas defeated,
rays he has a terrific left.
"Coaches of other schools re
garded young Bill as the best
fighter in the tournament with his
aggressiveness and alertness."
Sign of the Times?
Accompanying Coach Sanders
to Andrews as week end guests of
Charlie Rolfe and Bill Teas were
John Teas. Dr. W. S. Gray, Dr.
C U. McCullough, Sam Richard
son and the writer.
Only disappointment of the
most pleasant visit to the moun
tains was seeing a certain game
fish swimming downstream.
His mother said he had never
read any inspiring poems.
