MEDITATION How beautiful upon the mountains arc the feet of him that bringeth good tidings, that publisheth peace: that bringeth good tidings of good, that publisheth salvation; that said unto Zion, Thy God reiuneth! Thy watchmen shall lift up th<> voice: with the voice to gether shall they sing: for they shall see eve to eve. when the Lord shall bring again Zion. Break forth into joy, sing together, ye waste places of Jerusalem: for the Lord hath comforted his people, he hath re deemed Jerusalem. The Lord hath made bare his holy arm in the eyes of all the nations: and al! the ends of the earth shall see the salva tion of our God. ? Isaiah 52:7-10. Give To Conquer Cancer Cancer kills more mothers cf school age children than any other disease. No home is safe from cancer. Last year can cer killed more mothers of growing families than any other disease. 1 ragic ? but even more tragic is the fact that many of these deaths need never have happened. Many of the mothers who now die could be cured if they learned to recognize cancer's symptoms and seek medical advice immediate ly, if sufficient money can be found for the can cer research needed to discover the causes of the disease, to perfect its treatment. The American Cancer Society, through its program of public education and medical re search, is dedicated to the conquest of cancer. If you have not made a contribution to the cancer control drive, do so now. Cancer does not wait. Because of the need of expansion of research, as well as treatment of the disease, every citizen should dedicate some of his time, talent and money to assisting with the drive to raise funds. Do your part to help control this cruel killer, it must be stamped out. SHOP IN MURPHY This year give her Jewelery "The gift that lasts for more than a day." May we show you our new selection?

We wonder at its easy tread When winter's snow softly encroaches On autumn's glamour, why need we dread? 1 Old colors are the mellowest. The mountain peaks are old and grand; On their dizzy heights the sun's rays rest As they stretch their shadows o'er the land. Old stately trees cast deepest shades. Their arms made strong by ruin and storm. Their bosoms warm by sunshine made Give birds a refuse from all harm. The seas as old as vales and hills. ' Restless and changing through ages past ? Old places, old boulders, the old mill Stir hallowed memories that hold fast. Aye. the years, you etch our faces With lines of sorrow, joy and pain ? Erase not one they mark the paces On our march to life's refrain. Conference Being Held In Boston The General Conference of the Methodist church is holding its quadrennial meeting in Boston. Mass., April 28-May 9. The programs began Wednesday morning and will end on Sunday. May 9. at an evening session. Outstanding speakers from all over the world will take part on the program. First Methodist church here observed Tuesday and Wednesday. April 27-28, as days of prayer and fasting for the conference. The doors of the church were open all day for those who desired to come to the auditorium and pray. PEVOTIONAL KKAIHNO: Psalms 122 ? 1 9 0 Nehemiah Rebuilds Jerusalem Lesson for May 2, 1948 BORN and reared in Persia, Nehemiah appears in the epcn ing scene of his prophecy as. cup bearer to King Artaxerxes in the Dr. Xfwton royai paiace ai Shushan. He was a favorite at court, due, no doubt, to h i s personality and training, plus a keen desire to serve his people. He obtained a royal order from Artaxerxes. grant ing him passage to Jerusalem. It was a long and danger ous journey, but Nehcmiah travelled not only with letters from the king, but assur- j ance in his heart tha,t he was on the Lord's mission. He was given authority to seek help from other nations. Just how much help he received from other nations is not definitely certified, but we do know that he achieved the high purpose which God had put in his heart. He governed the city wisely for a dozen years, and wrought many notable reforms. Read the first seven chapters of Nehemiah for the complete story. Read also Psalms 122:1-9. ? ? * WHEN FRIENDS WORK TOGETHER UPON arrival in Jerusalem, Nehemiah made a tour of the city by night. He was shocked and amazed at the ruins. He called up on the people to come and help re build the walls. And they were im pressed with the earnestness and sincerity and courage of his call. "So built we the wall; and all the wall was joined together unto the half thereof; for the people had a mind to work," Nehemiah 4:6. There is work for everyone who is of a willing mind. There is work in the home. Boys and girls who pitc^ in and share in the everyday work of the home make glad the hearts of their parents, and at the same time they are learning how to care for their own homes when they grow up. ? ? ? STRENGTH AND ENCOURAGE MENT NEHEMIAH set the people to gether in families, with tools for work and weapons for defense against the enemy. And In this union of numbers there was both strength and courage. We need to day to learn anew this lesson of working together. So often we wit ness evidence of people pulling against one another. We sec it in the home and in the school and in the wider areas of life? in politics and in the clash between capital and labor. THOSE WHO OPPOSED NEHEMIAH OUR lesson describes not only the courage and wisdom of Nehemiah in getting the Jews to Arork and work together, but it tells us about those who opposed the rebuilding of Jerusalem. San Oallat was the governor of Samaria, and when he heard that Nehemiah was rebuilding Jerusalem, he put | in to defeat him by many schemes of sabotage. He began with ridicule. "What do these feeble Jews?" he scof fingly asked. Ridicule is always one of the weapons of those who would tear down and destroy. Young people will do well to guard themselves against the snare of cynicism. It is a dangerous thing. Sanballat and his cohorts, Tobiah, and certain Arabians and Am monites and Ashdodites, coi\spired to hinder Nehemiah in many devi ous attacks; but the people worked and fought, in the name of the Lord. ? ? ? WHAT MAKES A REAL LEADER? THIS is the question which will inevitably arise as we study this lesson. How could one man inspire people to undertake the im possible? First, Nehemiah relied implicitly upon God's help. Second, ne threw himself into the task, fearlessly and intelligently. Third, fie possessed the quality of inspir j tng faith and hope in others. These are the qualities that make a real j leader, anywhere, any time. How we do need such leaders to , day! And the Bible speaks to us. , in the story of Nehemiah, remind ing us how real leaders are pro ! duced. Read the 122nd Psalm. Here is the secret of it all? "They shall prosper that love thee." Every difficulty confronting the home, the community, the nation, the world, can be met and mastered, provided we tackle it in the name of the Lord, relying upon his wisdom, his strength, his poise. * ? ?
