Another Big Event
It is the announced intention of the
Great Wilkes Fair Association to hold a
fair this year that will more completely
serve the purpose for which this annual
event is held than pethaps has been the
case in recent years, especially since the
crash of 1929. The real purpose of a fair
is, of course, to give some idea of the
products of the fanning industry in this
territory and to stimulate interest in the
jHVMiuetion of better products.
This year, directors of the fair associa
tion expect to make it really worthwhile
for fanners to enter exhibits., Cash
prizes will be paid in all cases and there is
a possibility that additional valuable prizes
may be offered in some instances.
But getting around to the point where
we started, the efforts of the association
to.make the fair an exhibition of the finest
fann products of Wikes and surrounding
counties as well as a big show are com-
menteble. With finer exhibits and the
etinination of some of the ribald features
of certain carnival attractions, there is no
reason why Wilkes county’s greatest and
most succeseful fair should not be held
this year.
Going To Fires
C. G. Day, chief of the volunteer fire
department, and Chief of Police James M.
Anderson have called our attention to a
condition that should be remedied. It has
to do with going to fires.
It seems that when the fire siren is
heard, few people observe the law which
requires that they pull to the right of the
street instantly and wait there until the
fire truck has passed or has had time to
reach its destination. On the contrary, the
practice seems to be to speed up and see
who can beat the truck to the scene of the
fire.
This practice is-extremely dangerous to
the motorist and tends to hamper the fire
department in going to the fire quickly.
Curiosity and a willingness to aid are ad
mirable qualities, but sometimes prevent
the most effective work from being done.
At one recent fire, it was reported that
€o many people were in and around a
burning house that firemen had difficulty
in getting to work.
Certainly in most instances, it seems
that the people should halt long enough to
give the fire truck make the most rapid
progress possible in getting to the scene.
The fire department and the police force
will greatly appreciate this favor from
the public.
District Commencements
The decision of the Schoolmasters Club
to hold district commencements for the
elementary schools will be generally ap
proved. These commencements afford an
opportunity for the citizens of each dis
trict to get together and observe some
thing of the progress educational forces
of the county are making in their efforts
to train our children.
While the district commencement may
add little to the training of the child, it is
always a big occasbn for the children,
especially seventh grade graduates who
have. readied another milestone in their
aducntional development. That they are
not to be deprived of the thrill which
comes from hearing their names read and
deceiving their diploma in the presence of
dtizens of the entire district as well as
thdr own school community is good news.
We are enthusiastically in favor of
school and district commencements. 'The
tendency of some schools to eliminate a
Ilffge part of usual commencement fea
tures is regrettable. The idea that pre
paring for commencement takes too much
time and that a literary address is useless
aiiioe few graduates wfll remember it any
way is not sound, as We seer it Nothing
to cement a community’s interest in
thesehool more than the commencement
gxmatefi in which the parents see their
parfonn.
Whether it will turn out lhat CWA'
money was spent to the best advantage in
some ^es, we rare moved to commend
the Ashe administratwn for getting so
many gymnasiums for the high schools of
the county. r
North Wilkcaboro’s experience the past
■ year without a gsmmasium funxishes some
idea of what it means for A school to have
no indoor play room/Ashe citizens ^e
strong for athletics and the program of
gymnasium building will doubtless prove
of great benefit in the future.
Easter Sunrise Services
It is not necessary to motor to Winston-
Salem to see a beautiful sunrise serviro on
Easter morn. From the standpoint of a
colmfol crowd and greatness of numbers,
the Moravian service is unsurpassed, but
can you imagine a more picturesque scene
than the glorious panoramic view obtain
ed from the yard of historic St. Paul’s
Episcq>a] church in Wilkesboro,
To the south is the grandeur of the
Brushies and to the north and west is the
scenic Blue Ridge. Just under the hill is
the Tory Oak where more than 150 years
ago, too friendly subjects of the king
were executed. And everywhere one looks
from the point of vantage, there is history
and beauty.
Members of the Episcopal congregation
have our encouragement in their plans to
make their annual sunrise Easter service
an event rivaling, though on a smaller
scale, the Moravian sendees. 'Though
few in number, the St. Paul’s congrega
tion has marched forward under great
difficulties and handicaps for the past 98
years. Two years hence, the church will
observe its centennial.
St. Paul’s Easter sumnse service prom
ises to be an inspiring service and those
who have never attended a service, such
as the one to be held, will welcome the
opportunity to attend.
The Book
the first line of which reads,
"The Holy Bible," and which
contains four great treasures.
By BRUCE BARTON
PATIENCE MEANS ENDURANCE
“Why do you call the Psalms poetry?" some
body asks. “They don’t rhyme.” Hebrew poetry
does not consist of rhyme nor meter, but in
balance of thought, a parallelism. One line says
a thing and the next repeats it with slight and
skilful variation.
In the way of righteousness is life; and in
the pathway thereof is no death.
Or the second line is an adversative clause;
Wealth gotten by vanity shall be diminish
ed: but Ke that gathereth by labor shall have
increase-
Thus the balance and rhythm are not in the
words but in the thought. Having in mind this
distinctive characteristic, it is easier to under
stand why the Book of Job is called sometimes
“the greatest poem” and sometimes “the great
est of all dramas.”
Everybody knows Job, “the most patient man
who ever lived”—bit of knowledge based on
the remark in the New Testament: “Ye have
heard of the patience of Job” As a matter of
fact. Job was about as impatient as a man could
possibly be, and properly so, perhaps, for he
was the victim of trials quite undeserved.
The word) “patience” as the New Testament
writer uses it does not denote the moral quality
of submission with cheerfulness to a hard ex
perience, but mere endurance-
Job was a rich farmer, cattle owner and pub
lic-spirited citizen, who headed all subscription
lists and had the satisfaction of seeing his en
terprises succeed and) his children grow up with
go^ promise. Suddenly calamity de.scends upon
him- He does not know it, but his soul is to be
tried.
Job’s crops are destroyed, his barns burned, his
children taken sick, and he himself breaks out all
over with horrid boils. In this condition he is
visited by a group of three friends—professional
moralists and Pollyannas—and between them and
him the dramatic debate ensues. They tell him
just where he has been wrong and urge him to
confess his sins to God and b=‘g forgiveness. He
responds sarcastically:
No doubt but ye are the people and wis
dom shall die with you.
He> denies that he has sinned and) refuses to
tell God that he has because it would be a lie;
and he wouldn’t lie even to be relieved from all
his misfortunes.
His conversation is far from meek, but you
can’t fail to admire his indomitable courage. In
the end it triumphs. Go^i says to him in effect:
“Job, you have talked a good deal of nonsense,
and you have b en very impatient, but you
have helued me to win out in my contest with
Satan. He said that nobody on earth loves good-
ress for its own sake, and I told) him that you
do. He said I was wrong, but you have proved
me rig^t I am proud of you, and I was never
so proud as when you protested that you would
not lie even to pleaa3 me.”
