Thu?s3ay, June 7, 1928^ THINK ON THESE THINGS (Bv PROF. C. O. SMALL, Siler City, N. C.) There are two invariable signs ol genius in a person, —one is the seri ous note, and the other is the P l< j* resent serious thinking. Men ot tai ture-making note. All great things represent serious thingmg. Men ot talent evelove arguments, men o genius create emblems, parables, and pictures, Measured in terms of gen ius, the parables of Jesus are the greatest literary achievements m his tory. What educates is the idea, and not the half dozen names of things ■without an diea The important thing }iow many mouths to the pump. O Ours i s a world where we crucify the Saviour in Jerusalem, where v/e poison Socrates in Athens, where we «vile Dante in Italy, and burn Sa vonarola in Florence, and starve Cervantes in Madrid, and Jail Run yan in Bedford,—for the greatest pianhood is always rewarded with xnartyrdom. O When a nation prospers and grows xich, religion always languishes. When nations enter upon a disaster and peril, the people return to God. Abundance enervates. Morals always .■gink to a low level when men s eyes stand out in fatness. When the peo ple are richest, God's kingdom is poorest. When men are poor, God s Iringdom is richest. * O Every man has at sometime in his life fallen. Many have fallen many 'times; few few times. And the more a man knows his life, and watches its critical flow from day to day, the larger seems to grow the number of these falls. And every sin that was done demands a bitter peni tence.. If there is little emotion in a man’s religion, it is because theie is little introspection. Religion with out emotion is religion without re flection. 0 ? The first work of Christ may be called the “Year of Public Favor.” On the whole it was a year of tri umph. The world received Him tor a time. Vast crowds followed Him. John’s audience left him and gather ed around the new voice. Palestine Tang with the name of Jesus. Noble men and rulers vied with each other in entertaining. The next year called the “Year of Opposition.” The applause is over. The crowds thin ned. He was obstructed on every Jiand. The Saducees and Pharasees left Him.

His path was narrow ing. The third period marks the end. Only twelve were left to Him when ' the last act of the drama opens. They are on the stage the last time. One of the deciples gees out. Elev en are left to Kim. Another soon follows. There are but ten. One by : one they all leave the stage, till all - forsook Him and fled, and He is left - to die alone. 5 E i Christ has at this time many lov -1 ars of his heavenly kingdom, but - few bearers of the cross. He has i many desirous of consolation, but - few of tribulation. He many l companions of his table, but few ot 3 his abstinence. All desire to re r joice, with him, but few to endure anything for him. Many follow' him unto the breaking of bread; but few unto drinking the cup of his passion. | Many reverence his miracles, but r few follow the ignominity of the , ( I cross. Many love him so long as no I > adversities ‘befall them. Many praise ] ■ and bless him so long as they get i any consolation from him. Where is ■ one to be found w'ho is willing to ; serve God for nought? 0 The w'ise man of the Bible said, “Vanity of vanities, all is vanity.” But do you understand what he meant? It is vanity to seek after perishnig riches, and to trust in them. It is vanity to strive after honors, and to climb to high degree. It is vanity to folow the desires of the flesh, and labor for that which we must afterwards suffer grievous punishment. It is vanity to desire to live long, and not to care to live well. It is vanity to mind only this present life, and not to make provi sion for the things which are to come. It is vanity to love that which will soon pass away, and not to has ten thither w'here everlasting joy awaits you. O This world is held together not by the few, who think they are chosen, but by the great mass of honest folk who do their daily grind and tend their own spot in the world. By those who have an abiding faith that right will come to its own at last. These people believe that right mo tives are the key to right methods and hence to right conditions. 0 Our own opinion and our own sense do often deceive us, and they discern but little. A humble know ledge of thyself is a surer way to God than a deep search after learn ing .Men choose to be great rather than humble, therefore they be come vain in thei rimaginations. He i s truly great who has great love. He is truly great that is little in him self, and that makes no account of i any height of honor THe is truly wise that accounteth all things as nothing, that he may win the truth. And he is truly wise and learned, that doeth the will of God and for sakes his own will. The more hum ble a man is in himself, and the more subject to the divine will, the more wise and peaceful shall he be in all things.” O i Human sympathy is man’s great est power. God himself attests it, and all god men proclaim it. No cool, cal culating attitude will take the place of it. All the great advances which have moved nations foward to better things are due to human sympathy. We use this great motive force to too smail ends, for we are too feeble in mind to see where sympathy should be applied until direct ob jectives present themselves. If hu man sympathy prompts us to feed the hungry, why should it not give a much greater prompting toward j making hunger impossible? O • The cheapest and easiest and most despicable thing in the world is au thority. Any man or any people may show his or their authority till doomsday and make people fear it. But they can never make people res pect it. O If a thing is old it is a sure sign that it is fit to live. Old families, old customs, and old styles surive because they are fit to survive. Sub merge the good in a flood of the new, and the good will come back to join the good which the new brings with it. Old fashioned kindness, old fashioned brotherly love, and old fa shioned politeness and hospitality and honor all had qualities of sur vival. They will also come back again. O Here is the secret of success; there is no secret of success. Every individual is different. Every tem perament is particular. Every mind works its own may and every indiv idual background in life creates a new combination of character. The individual is the distinctive song. El ements of character form the notes. Their arrangement is different in each individual and creates the in dividual. The same problem is met by different temepraments in differ ent ways. Certain threads of simil arity run thorugh the lives of all suc cessful people. The object of edu cation is not to fill a man’s mind with facts; it is to teach him how to use his mind in thinking. 0 It is as natural for the human soul to drift downward at it is for a stone to fall to the ground. But here is more in salvation than there is in forgiveness. Forgiveness is a very little part of religion, and such n n idea is a fallacy. If not, it would >e of little use ’to us. Men’s sins ire their destruction. And sins are natural things. Nothing in the world works without friction. A hurricane eaves a thousand fallen witnesses hind to mark its track. The great river of sin leaves a pile of ruins here and there as melancholy monu ments to show where it has been. Everything in nature has it reaction it some time. History is an undying monument of human sin. The his tory of the world has, for the most >art, been written in the world’s dood. And all the reigns of emper ors and kings will one day be lost n one absorbing record of one great eign,—the long- reign of sin. The urface of society is white with lep osy. Take away the power of sin md error tomorrow, and the stain of ACTUALLY INCREASES GASOLINE MILEAGE Tests were made by a motor car manufacturer by driving cars for two thousand miles cross country, comparing “Standard” Motor Oil with other well-known brands. The same gasoline was used in all cars. The use of “Standard” Motor Oil showed increases of from 7 to 11% in the number of miles per gallon of gasoline. ; This is because “Standard” Motor Oil forms the best seal between piston and cylinder wall, thus in suring a more perfect combustion and a more powerful piston stroke. More power means more miles per gallon of gasoline. $ * © 1 t THE CHAfHyfMMRECORD ' sin remains. Nothing can efface it. It is this stain of error and sin that troubles the world’s conscience. So ciety cares nothing for yoif, and it is not wise enough to see the power of sin, or religious enough to see the guilt of sin; but it cannot help see ing the stain and effects of sin, be cause it must. And that is what troubles society. So this is what so ciety does: it builds a prison, a mad house, a hospital, and a graveyard. These are built to hide the stain of sin. O The most pathetic life in all his tory is the life of Christ. Those who study it find out every day, a fresh sorrow. It was foretold that he would be acquainted with grief, but not one conceived the darkness of that reality. His life began with the bitterest kind of sorrow —the sorrow of enforced silence. For 30 years He saw, but dared not speak. He saw about Him all the very wrongs which He had come to re dress. The flimsiest religion ever known —a mere piece of acting— was being palmed off around Him on all sides as the religion of the living God. He saw the poor trod den upon, the sick untended, the widow unavenged, the whole world filled with corruption and violence, and His Father’s people scattered. He saw all this and knew how to cure it, but He could not open His mouth. Then came His public life. The temp tation, the contradiction, the insults of the Pharisees, the attempts on His life, the dullness of His disciples, the Jews’ rejection of Him, the ap parent failure of His cause, Geth semane and Calvary —all these He saw and realized. Never was ’ any life on earth so filled with sorrows. 0 Ineffable is the union of man and God in every act of the soul.

Baby may be played with, but not for more than a quarter of an hour to an hour daily. Beyond that, being handled, tickled, caused to laugh or even scream, will sometimes result in vomit* ing, and invariably causes irritability, crying or sleeplessness. • Fretfulness, crying and sleeplessness from this cause can easily be avoided by treating baby with more consideration, but when you just can’t see what is mak ing baby restless or upset, better give him a few drops of pure, harmless Cas toria. It’s amazing to see how quickly it calms baby’s nerves and soothes him to sleep; yet it contains no drugs or opi ates. It is purely vegetable—the recipe is on the wrapper. Leading physicians prescribe it for colic, cholera, diarrhea, constipation, gas on stomach and bowels, feverishness, loss of sleep and all other “upsets” of babyhood. Over 25 million bottles used a year shows its overwhelm ing popularity. With each bottle of Castoria, you get a book on Motherhood, worth its weight in gold. Look for Chas. H. Fletcher’s signature on the package so you’ll get genuine Castoria. There are many imi tations. FOR SALE 1,000 acres of land for sale near Moncure, Chatham county, N.

INCREASED CORN YIELDS CUT PRODUCTION CO3T “The average yield of corn on our soils can be raised materially through a greater use of cover crops, seed selection, better cultural, methods, i and a more liberal use of fertilizer suited to the needs of the plant,” stated county agent N. C. Shiver, yesterday. “Corn is essential on every farm and to raise livestock successfully, a liberal supply of grain i s needed,” says Mr. Shiver. “The cost of the corn fed to livestock will also deter mine the profits to be secured from it.

H. Petty, of Pittsboro, Route 1, one of our progressive farmers, we will conduct a five-acre corn demonstra tion this year. Careful records will be kept by Mr. Petty of the yield and the cost. “Each acre will be fertilized with 300 pounds 16 per cent Super-phos phate, 25 pounds Muriate of Potash and 300 pounds Nitrate of Soda. “The corn plant needs large quan tities of nitrogen to produce large yields. If the soil is deficient in ni trogen, it should be applied in a quickly available form, such as Ni trate of Soda. Very little, if any, of the nitrogen should, be applied at planting time. The best time to ap ply the Soda is when the corn is knee to waist high. “Farmers who are interested in increasing their corn yield should visit Mr. Petty’s farm and see this demonstration,” Mr. Shiver stated.
