A GREAT MOTHER The part mothers have played in the prog ress of civilization has been the subject of many eulogies. Perhaps, none of these eulo gies could be exaggerated for mother in the eyes of her children represents the superla tive in excellence and goodness. The death of Mrs. Sarah J.

Having slept soundly in the open air he meets the call with quiet nerves. He stoops down toward the sufferer. ‘■Be of good cheer, my son,” he cries, “your sins are all forgiven.” Sins forgiven! Indeed! The respectable members of the audience draw back with sharp disapproval. “What a blasphemous phrase,” they exclaim.” Who authorized him to exercise the functions of God! \Vhat right has he to de cide ■whose sins shall be forgiven?” Jesus sensed rather than heard their protest. He never courted controversy but he never dodg ed it; much of his fame arose out of the reports of his verbal victories. ‘•■Whafs the objection?” he exclaimed, turn ing on the dissenters. “Why do you stand there and criticize!

INTO THE FORESTS More than three hundred .voting men of Wilkes sought to enroll in President Roose velt’s civilian conservation army which goes into the forests for si.x months to labor in behalf of forest rehabilitation. They go away on the government’s own terms which are not particularly attractive foi‘ the young men, but which afford an opportunity for them to do something, to get away from the rut of idleness and to help their dependents at home. In view of their readiness to enroll, it is a pity that only 46 can he accepted. Yet a big return is expected from the investment in those who are selected. W’itness the appeal of one Wilkes boy who made application for one of the jobs. He is alone in the world, with no dependents and no one to whom he can send the part of the money which the government requires all the young men to send. He is so interested in going, getting away from a johles.s ex istence, that he requested the welfare super intendent to name the needy families and distribute a part of his money as she sees fit. The only request he made was that she save $10.00 per month for him. Think of it—$60.00 for six months work! There will be drudgery in the forests. It will be no easy task. Yet there will be relief from inertia, from seemingly endless idle ness. There are blessings to be found in the forests. 'There is useful knowledge to be gained from close association with nature, •with God’s trees. These young men, perhaps, would as glad ly enroll in an army of war. but how much more useful will be their services in this .peace-time army. They will return, as the meeting ended in a tumult.

One of those who bad been attracted by the excitement was a tax-collector named Matthew.

No argument; no offer of in ducements; no promise of rewards.

Borrowed Comment REUUCFJS OWN SAL.YRY (Cleveland Star) The city of Spartanburg in the neighboring state of South Carolina has a new minister who will likely hold the eye of the people for some time. He is Rev. Marshall L. Mott, Jr., who gave up the legal profession to enter the ministry and for several years he conducted evangelistic serv ices in this state. Only recently he accepted a call to the Spartanburg First Baptist church which has 1,800 members. At the time he accepted the call the church agreed to pay him a salary of ?I,500, but at his first service the new pastor an nounced that he was reducing the salary to $3,600, and at the opening service of his new pas torate he preached to a congregatioft of more than 2.000 people An indication of how popu lar he is becoming with his new charge is shown in the report that at a recent mid-week prayer service he had 900 people present. For some years Baptist leaders In this state have predicted that Rev. Mr. Mott would become one of the South’s outstanding ministers and judging by his auspicious start at Spartanburg he is rapidly fulfilling the prediction.

SLASHES BILLION FROM BUDGET Washington, May 4.—President Roosevelt already has slashed a billion dollars from the nation’s 1933-34 expense account and mov ed last night for further reduc tions in the hope of balancing the budget by July 1. On the basis of present econo mic conditions, Mr. Roosevelt plac ed federal revenue during the fiscal year beginning July 1, at $2,200,- 000.000 dnd expenses at approxi mately $2,320,000,000. Although highly elated over prospects for increased revenue from legalized beer, the president used figures of $150,000,000 fixe^ by experts some ti'me ago, in his budget estimates. Mr. Roosevelt said he was pro ceeding cautiously, however, and was basing his figures on “con ditions as they now are.” He made it plain that there was no dis position to let periodic business spurts interfere with the serious work of estimating what amount of money will flow into the treas ury for the new fiscal year.
