a neve re vote This is a busy season for election officials throughout every county in North Carolina. They are making preparation for handling the balloting. A special election is set for September 8. at which time North Carolina voters will ex press their wishes by way of the ballot on the Constitutional amendments recommend ed by the recent special session of the Gener al Assembly. Right after this election preparation will begin for the general election on November 6 in the meantime, we have had the Demo cratic national convention, and next the Rep ublicans, to remind us of the approaching campaign and election later on this fall. With all these elections occurring this year, citizens should easily acquire the hab it as well as realize the importance of voting FOLIO Off THE RUff The most tragic aspect of Chicago's polio outbreak is that it came at a time when the long fight against the crippling disease was almost won. The scientific genius of Dr. John Salk and other researches, coupled with the tremendous production effort of the nation's pharmaceutical manufacturers, have at long last given mankind an inex pensive, plentiful vaccine that promises to end for all time the ravages of paralytic polomyelitis. Whether mankind will take advantage of this golden opportunity remains to be seen. The Chicago Board of Health reports that no one who received lhe full three ? shot series of Salk inoculations contracted paraly tic polio during the outbreak. Yet at the same time, it deplored the fac* that "lethar gic and indifferent parents" were not seeing to it that their children received their sec ond and third shots of the vaccine. The Na tional Founation for Infantile Paralysis also has expressed concern over the drop-off in inoculations. Of the 31 milloin American children most susceptible to polio, it re ported, less than half have sough1 Salk pro tection. The lesson to be drawn from this seems clear: the noble labors of Dr. Salk, plus over 80 million doses of vaccine by the na tion's pharmaceutical houses in the last 16 the dedicated effort behind the production of months, as reported by the Health News In stitute, will have gone for naught unless all those who need 'he vaccine's protection get it. In the Salk vaccine, mankind has a powerful weapon that may insure final vic tory over paralytic polio- But the weapon must be used if the battle is to be won. Time To Get Children Ready For Classroom Work (Reprint From Waynesville Mountaineer Mon. Aug. 13) The metallic clang of bells that will sound soon to summon all the children back to a new school term ? scheduled to start for most of them within a few weeks ? is preceded by a clar ion call to action for all of their parents. The "alert" is sounded by educational author ities in all parts of the country, as if with one voice, inspired by another surge in the annual ly mounting school enrollments. Hordes of new pupils will pour into class room* u beginners Few ?r than evor before will be dropped from school rolls this year u teen-agers in grMter number than ever, atlmu lated by the universal need for better trained adults and by the encouragement of their par ents, seek to continue their education In the colleges and universities. Administrators of our school system are working miracles In advance of the opening of the term, to stretch classrooms and teaching staffs in order to take care of educational re quirements that have been expanding more rapidly than the facilities for taking care of them. School administrators, pointing to the im mediate problem created by the approaching of the new fall term, declare that because of such factors as classroom shortages and the lack of a sufficient number of teachers, it is more important than ever this year that par ents undertake earlier than ever the task of preparing their children, mentally and physi cally, for their return to learning. More can be done to help children advance along the road of learning during the weeks preceding the opening of school than can usual ly be accomplished on a hit-and-miss basis later, is the opinion of many authorities. It Is almost entirely a matter o< orientation for the child to be accomplished by doing as well as talking. And this year, significant ad vances and trends are developing to make the task easier for all the parents. On the health side is the program that has been made toward conquering polio, most dreaded of diseases to which school age children are susceptible, with the advent of the Salk vac cine. This ntep forward is especially welcomed during an era when overcrowding of school is inevitable. It serves to point up the importance of sche duling physical examinations at the profession al level for the children, before school starts, in order to allow time for remedial measures U required. Examinations of teeth, hearing and eyes are pre-school opening musts for which appointments should be made now. The mounting wave of interest among school children of all ages in better grooming is wel comed also for its Importance to character building. The growing trend gives every evi dence of banishing the sloppy fads of the past which received their share of blame for creat ing difficult behavior and learning problems. Designers of children's wearing apparel have met the growing demand for school clothes of functional design made of easy-to care-for materials. A great eagerness on uie part or cnuaren 10 return to school for a new term has been grow ing. In grade schools the trend Is attributed in part to the newer teaching methods, which makes school more interesting to the children and to the promise of new adventures held by every new school year. Among high school and college age young people, the trend is credited to their growing awareness of the mounting need and preference for better educated and better trained person nel in all walks of life, after schooling is com pleted. In both instances the wholesome newer atti tudes toward school reflected by children is vastly stimulated by parents themselves, who have learned to encourage the youngsters to take more interest in their own schooling. This attitude is best stimulated by concrete evidence on the part of parents of their own enthusiastic interest in the careers of the chil dren ? learning. Wise parents begin talking with their chil dren about the return to school well in advance of the opening in terms designed to stimulate the interest of the children. Wise parents invite the youngsters to parti cipate in selecting the clothes and supplies they are going to need for going back to school. Wise parents encourage youngsters to make friends of their doctors and dentists. Wise parents further encourage their children by participating in adult school conferences, Parent-Teacher association activities, and by taking a definite and active interest in scohol sports and other activities.

Peonies are more easily grown in the piedmont and mountain sec tions of North Carolina, but they can also be grown in coastal plain areas with better care. The time for making new plant ings or for moving or dividing old plants would be October and November In eastern North Car olina and September and Octobei for the W estern and mountain sec tiona of the state.

Peonies do not like to b' disturbed. If you have a clump do ing well and producing good blooms, let it alone. Loss of root in digging will be harmful. It is not necessary to divide and move peonies every two 01 three years as we do irig and daf fodils. If a plant is not blooming satisfactorily then it may be ad visable to move it to a better lo cation, or perhaps it has been planted too deep and should be taken up and replanted. Tn sn^h cases, cut off as few roots as possible. Peonies should be plant ed shallow. Buds should not be more than one or two inches be low the surface of the soil. Current magazines and news papers are advertising: the "mir acle plant" which Is guaranteed to bloom without soil or water. It will do that.

THE EXALTED CHBIUT " WhcrWoro Qod hath highly ex alted Him ud (lvn Him a Name which la above every name" Phlllpplaoa tr?. Christ has promised Joy, peace and victory to His followers. The wise men hailed His birth with "exceeding great joy" (Matthew 2:10). The angels announced His coming with "Tidings of great Joy" (Luke 2:10). The disciples "Disbelieved for Joy" (Luke 24 : 41). The disciples returned from His ascension "With great Joy" (Luke 24:52). "My Joy" is an In separable part of the Saviour. "These things have I spoken unto you, that My Joy might remain In you and that your Joy might be full" (John 15:11). "Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the Joy that was set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God" (Hebrews 12:2). I Christ is to be exalted as THE LIVING SAVIOUR. Christianity Mohammedans serve a dead sav-l has the only living Saviour. The iour. The Hindus trust in a dead Saviour. The Communists rever ence a dead and mumlfled sav iour. Only Christians follow and serve a living Saviour. "He is ris en" (Matthew 28:6). "Now when Jesus was risen early the first day of the week" (Mark 18:9). "Why seek ye the living among the dead?" (Luke 24:5). Too long too many have looked to the dead Christ to find a quickened life. True It Is that the atoning blood of the crucified Christ on the cross saves fram sin. There is no other salvation. The Christian worships not a dead but a living resurrected Christ, through the Christ. The Christian becomes a Christian by the power of the atonement for sin made in His vicarious death on the cross. "Fear not, I am the first and the last : I am He that liveth and was dead; and, behold I am alive for evermore, Amen; and I have the keys of hell and of death" (Reve lation 1:17-18). He is THE living Christ for life, for death, and for immortality, L<et man fall uponfi his knees and worship THE living^ Christ and not a dead Saviour. Christ is to be exalted as THE ' PLEADING ADVOCATE. "But IP the spirit of HIM that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, He that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mor tal bodies by His Spirit that dwelleth in you" (Romans 8:11). Christ is at the right hand of the throne of God making intercession for every person. Christ Jesus is the only mediator between God and man. True it is that all Christians can and should pray for others. Any Christian has di rect access to the throne of God ' through the atoning- ' death of Christ on the cross and through the living Christ as the ONE and ONLY Mediator between God and man. But no human being has ever been given power to atone for (forgive) the sins of another per son. This power belongs to Christ and to Christ alone, if not, Christ's itonement for sin in his death on the cross was in vain. Therefore, anyone who pretends to have the power to forgive sins, usurps the position of (thrist and is an imposter. "Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we fciow not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which can not be uttered. And he that sear cheth the heart knoweth what is the mind of the Spirit, because He maketh interc?ssion for the saints (living Christians) according: to the will of God. Who is he that condemneth? It is Christ that died, yea rather, that Is risen again who is even at the right hand of God, who also maketh INTER CESSION for us" (Romans 8:26, 27,34). "What can wash away my sin? What can make we whole a gain? Nothing but the Blood o Jesus. Nothing: can for sin atone. Naught of good that I have done. Nothing but the blood of Jesus." Christ is to be exalted as THE RBIGNITNG LORD. "All power Is given unto Me In heaven and In earth" (Matthew 28:18). Christ has promised to return and receive His redeemed and be their reign lng Lord some day. However It behooves the true Christian to remember that Christ is THE reigning Lord In the hearts at RIs true followers today. This the Christian sometime* fcsgeta. And M reigning Lord.

Mrs. Davidson is the former Miss Willie McCombs. . y preeminence in the life of His fol lower. A true church of the liv ing Christ today is under the reign of her head ? THE CHRIST ? not under the reign of her lead ers. Christ is to be exalted as The one who has universal Lordship.. "Every knee shall bow . . . every tongue shall confess." He is to have final Lordship. Kings have come and kings have gone. But not SO, Christ. He is THE KING of KINGS and The Lord of lords. He is THE Way, not a way. He is THE Truth, not a truth. He is THE Life, not a life. He Is THE Reign Christ is to be exalted as THE COUQUERUNG KING. The Chris tian is not to live in fear. Christ is THE triumphant King. "The kingdoms of this world are become the kingdoms of our Lord, and of His Christ; and He shall reign for ever and ever" (Revelation 11:15). He is now going forth con quering and to conquer He is now THE conquering King in the hearts of His redeemed people. The world is in His power to be taken over at His bidding. As the Christian advances the Kingdom of God by making Christ known and accepted by others, he increases the power of the king dom of God on earth. Today Christ is THE Living Saviour, THE pleading Advocate, THE Reigning Lord, THE Conquering King of millions of people. One day every person will have to give an account of his relation ship to THE CHRIBT. "Where fore God hath highly exalted Him and given Him a name which is a bove every nam*: That at the name of Jesus every Knee should bow, of things In heaven and things In earth and things tmder earth; Aad that every tongue should confess that Jem Chrtot is Lord, to tha gtor y of Ood the l*a OMf (WitfUniliM 14-11). L\mwmi >'^1 :*>?ISA ) BAPTISTS i_^Li^VE... ^ Complete Religious Freedom tor Everyone la the early eighteenth ctn tury Baptist min isters in Virginia were imprisoned for preaching without government permission. In prison they continued to preach. When Patrick Henry vyas asked to defend them for the crime "of preaching the gos pel of the Son of God" he cried out indignantly as he waved the invitation above his head, "Great God! Great God! Great God!" His prayer and the prayers of Baptists were heard, a. id reli gious liberty was \Yi itten into the Constitution. Religious freedom in America is largely a trophy of Baptist effort and influence and one of our most precious possessions. Baptists believe in the loyalty of all citizens to the state. Jesus referred to the duty of people in his day when he said, "Ren der . . . unto Caesar the things which are Caesar's" (Matthew 22:21). The Roman Christians were told, "Let every soul be suoject unto uie the higher power* . . . rulers are not a terror to good works, but to the evil" (Ro mans 13:1,3). Paul wrote Ti tus to remind the Christians "To be subject to principalities and powers, to' obey magistrates, to be ready to every good work" (Titus 3:1). But none of this implies that the church is to be subject to the domination of the state. Baptists believe in the separation of church and state. The church is to co-operate in all that is high and decent, but in no way is it to be subject to the control of the state or used by it to do its will. As many Baptist churches have declared in their articles of faith "We be lieve that civil government is of divine appoint ment, for the in terests and good order of human society; and that magistrates are to be prayed for, conscientiously honored, and obeyed; except only in things opposed to the will of our Lord Jesus Christ, who is the only Lord of the conscience, and the Prince of the kings of the earth." The Bible is the guidebook for Baptists. Its best known verse for this appeal to the su premacy of the Lord Jesus Christ includes: "Render . . . unto God the things that are God's" (Matthew 22:21) and "One is your master, even Christ" (Matthew 23:10). The Virginia ministers in Patrick Henry's time were good citizens and willing to serve the state, but they were not willing to be silenced ia matters of religion. In preaching the gospel they had "to obey God rather than men," as the Apostle Peter once de clared when government leaders in early Christian days tried to silence his preaching (Acts 5: 29). The imprisoned Virginia preachers could well have said what many other Baptist leaders have said, "We might not agree with what you say, but we would die for your right to say it."
