Junior rdr, Manufaetnrers' Hub, Hoard of Aldermen and Other High Point Organisations Are Working to Jet New County A New Intention. Hpeclal to The Observer. High Point, Dec. 20. The various I'fiminltleea antinliifcil to work for the new county, are formulating I plans whereby the work can be best done. The Junior Order, Manufac turers' Club and board of aldermen all Yiave committees at work. It Is believed that the new county can be secured with the proper amount of work and that it is not such a hard Job as some would have the poople believe. The plans Is to raise the money to build a court mouse, and pay other expenses, from the citizens of High Point, and go before the peo ple embraced In the new county with the strong argument that It will cost them nothing to come In; and that it will put tthem several miles nearer the county seat than they are now. The new county territory embraces four good, towns, namely: Thomas ville, Jamestown, Trinity and Arch dale. It Is believed there will be lit tle opposition In these towns to the proposition. The gentlemen who will organise the American Folding Furniture Company will most probably have of fices In High Point, and also in (Ira nd Rapids, Mich, The company will not engsge in the manufacture of furniture Itself, but will lease the right to the use of tne method, td the factories. The claims made for the new innovation Is that It will save two-thirds of the floor space in ware houses, and that 150 caas can be leaded In a, car, by the patent fold ing appartus, aa against 110 as now. Thus It will make possible competi tion to Une coast and export trade.

Only by matching Scripture to Scripture will we have a complete dl llneatlon of this transcendent scene. Tske, for example, the closing verses of the gospels of Mark and Luke, the opening paragraph of the Book of Acts and Psalm isvlll. 17-11. On a certain day, conspicuous and memorable, last of the forty mystic dsys since His resurectlon Jesus led His disciples to well-ramembersed Olivet. Together they went down in to the deep . chasm and across the Brook Kedron, past Oethsemane, flace of agony and betrayal, along he oft-trodden road, the very way by which, strewn with garments and palm branches. He had approached the city In ' triumph, and so on to ward Bethany. - The text In Acts reads. "And being assembled together with them;" the margin reads, "Eating together with them." Thla was the real "last sup per." Under some grateful shade, be side some brimming fountain, they sat. The ten recorded appearances, and the many not recorded had helped to wear away in good part the pre ternatural character of the risen Sav ior's associations with His disciples. Bo that this last Instance of personal contact was preeminently natural, social, and solacing. Under these favorable conditions, Jesus' last commands, which are of Inexpressible Importance, are now communicated. Personal safety would have suggested to the disciples Immediate flight from Jerusalem. Two days would have taken them to happy Galilee, with Its comparative security far from the melancholy scenes of the Baylor's betrayal, hu miliation, and death. Hut Jesus off seta the dictates of heart and flesh with His direct command that they should not depart from Jerusalem. He promises the effusion of the Spirit. Here Inveterate racial prejudice In trudes the question whether this is the time when the kingdom will be restored to Israel. Jesus' patience Is unfailing. He shows how an exclu sive pride of race can have no place In the world-wide dimensions of His coming kingdom. Frederick W. Robertson has spoken discriminating words upon progress by "oblivion of the Past." But there Is also a helpful oblivion of the Fu ture there Is a blessedness In not knowing "times nnd seasons" with absolute precision. The disciples are encouraged by the affirmation that the kingdom Is near. They are not told how near In order that they may be on the alert. It is surprising to notice that the commentators magnify the resurrec tion of the Lord at the expense of His ascension. Among all the lives of Jesus, scarcely one devotes more than a single paragraph to the latter scene. This Is philosophically wrong. The whole life of Jesus was an as cending scale. It was progressive and cumulative. Tho last scene on Olive's brow was a splendid golden climax and triumph of the Inspiration of which the Ch ureal ought not to be robbed. The last attitude In which Jesus appeared on earth was that of hands outstretched In benediction. "And He lifted up His hands and blessed them, and while He blessed them " Could anything be more significant? Tho whole tenor and purpose of His II fo was to bless. What mute sig nificance In this last set and attitude. While In this very act He was part ed from them literally, "He atood aside from hem" aa the- minister stands apart from his congregattlon In plainest view of all. F.very dis ciple had an equally favorable oppor tunity to witness the spectacle. F.v ery eye beheld Him. While His hands were still extended In bene diction He w;is "taken up" possibly by a convoy of angels. "The chariots of (Jod are twenty thousand, even thousands of thousands." Again, a cloud received Him out of their sight. No ordinary cloud, this! A royal chariot of fire awaited Him who makes the clouds His chariot. Thla was the sheklna, the effulgent flame of the Divine Presence. The glory of (lod the Father covered the retreating form of Ood the Bon. This was a spectacle, the majesty of which shall only be equalled by the "second appearing ot the great Ood and our Havlor." No wonder that as the spostles gaz ed upon the Ineffable scene they wor shiped they burst forth Into adora tion and praise. Thus they stood long after the radiant spectacle had vanished. They were riveted to the spot. They gaxed wistfully Into the heavens as If they longed to follow their ascending Lord or to see Him return Jcsiif, even In the midst of His triumph, w as tenderly mindful of His disciples. He detached two of the angels from Ills train and dispatched them lo break the spell which held the disciples as if in chains. How tenderly these ministering spirits, In their bright festive garments, ac complished their taak! There is Just the gentlest possible rebuke of this continued ami wistful gazing, and there Is Joined to it the delightful and Inspiring promise or Jesus sure re turn In equal glory. And now, the spell broken, tho dis ciples take their. Sabbath day from Bethany into Jerusalem, "with great Joy, praising imd blessing Ood." ANALYSIS AND KEY. 1. I4ist of forty days.

Writer at Asheboro Replies to queries Submitted by Ktatesvllle Landmark, ! Arising From- a Previous : Commu nication..' i ' To the Editor of The Observer; In regard to the circus In Asheboro, Tne Statesvllle Landmsrk "has a curi osity to know If the Asheboro Chris tians believe that In order - to answer their prayer, there was a wreck, . .: which resulted in death, In, , an assault on the conductor, and the consequences fol lowing or was the wreck to Inave been anyway, and the- stopping of the cir cus performance a good result ac cruing therefrom? How about It, any way?" In no spirit of controversy do I at tempt tov- reply to these questions. In fact, I feel Incompetent, except to refer you to two Instances out of hun dreds in the Word of Ood. The first is where' "Herod Imprisoned Peter and delivered him to four quaternions of soldiers. The prsyer was made without ceasing of the Church unto Ood for him, and the chains fell from his hands, and tne was delivered." The second Is where "Samson was shorn of his strength, his eyes put out, and the pbjjllsttnes made sport of. him. Samson called unto tne Lord Ood, 'Remember me, I pray Thee, and strengthen me only this once, O Qod. that I may at once be avenged of the PhilUatines for my two eyes,' and Bamson took hold upon the two pil lars, and said, 'Let me die with the Pnlllistlnes;' and the house fell upon the Lord's snd all the people, so that the dead he slew at his death were more than they whlch he slewNn his life." Truly, "the Lord's ways are past finding out" "If ye abide In Me, and My work abide In you; ask wnat ye will and it shall be done unto you." A servant of Ood says: "Why do ceaseless prayers rise and bring no answer T" The cause must be either that we do not fulfill tne conditions, or Ood does not fulfill His promise. If sll believers would unite in true believing prayer, our beloved land would soon be rid of the circus, ss well aa many other worldly amuse ments, with that ungodly demoralis ing influence.
