BREVARD PARENTS
SLEEPING ON JOB
They were only sixteen to eighteen
years i f age. nice looking chaps,
seemingly alert, and bent on calling
on Mr. (Sh-h-h! not so loud) who
evidently lives close up town, for
the boys could be there and back in
fifteen minutes.
It was Sunday night, just after
church time, and one would think
that four boys of that age would be
at home, checking over the history or
math lesson for Monday — but no,
they were bent on calling on some
Brevard resident who lives less than
half mile from the square, where
they could buy a short pint for forty
cents.
One thing—the »price was cneap
enough. It would only cost ten cents
each, and one of the fellows was wil
ling to go twenty cents of that
amount, provided he could have the
money not later than Monday night.
To make a long story short, the
four young lads made up the forty
cents rnd left for Mr. (whatever his
name is) to get a pint of whiskey,
and very likely—no facts as to this
part of the story—they were all four
"high a? kites,” ‘‘lit to the gills,” or
whatever the proper term is for
youngsters who take on too much
bootleg whiskey of the type that is
being sold promiscuously in Brevard.
Nice looking boys, perhaps they
were sons of people who are right
now reading these lines. We are not
giving names. It would be useless to
mention just four boys who patron
ize Brevard pint-leggers.
The idea The Times would like to
get home to parents of boys (and in
some instances girls, too) is that
we’re asleep at the post, and are al
lowing somebody, or several some
bodies very likely, to sell liquor
right under the shadows of the
churches and court house—to young
sters. . '
It’s bad enough that the adult
population (part of the adult popu
lation shall we say) drinks whiskey,
gets all thick-tongued and reely in
their walk. But when the youth ol
vhe town, is pushed ail over a tov.-n
full of short pint bottles, it’s high
time that parents woke up and took
the cudgel for reform.
How to go about ridding the town
of bootleggers is too big a question
for us. We believe it can be done,
however, provided there is enough
honest sentiment against such evil
pi active. One person cannot do it.
The newspaper cannot do it. The
officers cannot do it by themselves.
It’s a job for all the parent? and
law abiding citizens of the town to
go into.
Naturally YOU think YOUR hoy
is net doing such things. Somebody's
boys were doing such things Sunday
night.. ,\had been doing it before the
editor of this paper overheard a part
of their conversation, anu left the
uptown section with intent t> “follow
through.”
Maybe it will take a W. C. I. U.—
maybe we need a Carrie Nation to
lead us—but we need action of some
kind. And we need parents who
think enough of their boys to be
willing to* go out after the Brevard
bootleggers with a stick in one hand,
and a preparation of tar and
feathers in the other.
We’re thankful, also, that there
are no more people spitting on the
sidewalks in Brevard than there are.
Like “Pollyanna, the Glad Girl,” it
could be worse.
Twenty negro farm agents now
serving members of their race in
North Carolina, and the state and
federal governments pay five-eighths
of their salary and expenses.
We’re in favor of paying the school
teachers a better wage, but can’t
see wherein motorists are to be pen
alized by diverting funds that are
paid by motorists for this purpose.
If a man pays twelve to twenty
dollars for a license plate, and six
to eight cents per gallon tax on gaso
line, looks as if most of this should j
go to construction and repair of
highways.
One hundred seven deaths,^
j North Carolina on highways sKd
j streets during October, sixteen of
j whom were children. Perhaps the
I new legislature will take this fact
i into consideration.

IC—Witnessing for Christ,
I. Paul’s Greeting (v. 1).
In this salutation Taul associates
with himself Silas and Timothy. Silas
was with him at the founding of the
church, and Timothy was tiie special
messenger Rent unto them, upon whose
report this letter is based (8:1, 2).
In tills epistle lie sets forth the pe
culiar position of the safety of the
church. It Is ‘‘in Clod the Father nnd in
the I.nrd .Tesus Christ.” Knowledge of
the absolute security of the believer
in Christ makes him courageous to
meet trials ami opposition. Two fea
tures characterize this greeting, ‘‘Grace
he unto you nnd pence." “Grace" ex
presses God's attitude toward them;
“peace," the resultant experience in
their lives.
II. Paul’s Thanksgiving (vv. 2. 3).
This thanksgiving Issues from the
remembrance of three outstanding
facts concerning the Thessalnnlnns,
which constitute the foundation facts
of normal Christian experience.
1. “Work of Faith." This relates to
their belief of the gospel which brought
them Into living Relationship with the
Lord Jesus Christ, and also to their
Christian activity growing out of their
faitii. Jesus Christ said In answer to
the question “What must we do that
we may work the works of God?"
"This Is the work of God that ye be
lleve on him whom he hath sent” (John
0:28. 29).
2. "Labor of Love." This means the
spirit by which they performed their
Christian duties. It was the expres
sion of the new law of IIfo Issuing from
the enthronement of Jesus Christ In
their hearts.
3. “Patience of Hope.’’ This refers
to the strength of their endurance
growing out of their expectation of
the speedy return of the Lord. The
transcendent theme of Paul’s preach
ing at Thessnlonlcn was the second
coming of Christ (Acts 17:7).
HI. The Reasons for Paul’* Thanks
giving (vv. 4-7).
1 Their election of God (vv. 4, 5).
Their reception of the gospel was the
unmistakable evidence of their divine
selection. The gospel came In power
and In the Holy Spirit. They did not
receive the gospel In mere theory, but
iu the power of the Holy Ghost. Where
It is recelve-.V the consequent life will
manifest Itself.
2. They j'cce! /ed Paul as a messen
ger of God (v. 6). The reception of
the gospel is largely detrained by the
kind of preacher. Its reality will he
detected til the life of the messenger.
3 The changed life of the Thctsa
lonlans (v. 7) They "became follow
ers"—that is, their lives were changed
by the power of the gospel. The order
In Christian expedience Is the recep
tion of the gospel, the changed life,
and then the example. The Thessa
lonians became examples to all In
Macedonia.
IV. The Missionary Activity of the
Ttessalonlans (v. 8).
Their experience of the life of Jesus
Christ was so real to tlnun that they
at once became missionaries. The word
of the Lord was so widely and effec
tively sounded forth flmt when tlm
apostles returned they needed "not to
speak anything." This Is as It should
be when the gospel Is received In the
power of the Holy Gluv The gospel
is good news. Good news cannot be
kept to oneself: it must be given out.
V. The Results of Paul’s Preaching
(vv. 8, 10).
1. They turned from idols (v. 9).
Tbessalonlca was a city largely given
up to Idolatry. Statues were to be
seen almost everywhere. The fruits of
Paul's preaching were the changed
lives of the people. They turned away
from idols and gathered together
around Jesus Christ in the church.
The Idol temples were deserted and
the churches filled.
2. Awaiting the coming of Jesus
Christ (v. 10). Their faith was so real
that they looked for the personal re
turn of the Lord Jesus Christ to the
earth. The second coming of Christ
was a real tenet of faith of the early
church. It Is so now wherever the gos
pel is really preached. "And every
man that hath this hope In him purl
fleth himself, even ns he Is pure.” (1
John 3:3).
Go Forward
“We trust we have a good conscience
in all things" (Heb. 13, 18). pass
smoothly over the perverseness of
those you have to do with, and go
straight forward. It is abundantly
sufficient that you have the testimony
of a good conscience toward God.—
John Wesley.
Comfort
God does not comfort us to make us
comfortable, but to make us comfort
«rs.—Doctor Jowett.

Debtor Nations Memorialized
Washington, Nov. 22.—Politely,
briefly—and hopelessly—the state
department today reminded 12 na
tions that on December 15 they would
owe the United States $630.'22,864.
Officials knew that only Finland,
the single nation which had not de
faulted on its past obligations, would
pay the next installment. That was
a mere $222,538.
Why Children Need
a Liquid Laxathre
The temporary relief children get
from unwise dosing with harsh
. cathartics may cause bowel strain,
and even set-up irritation in the
kidneys. A properly prepared liquid
laxative brings a more natural move
ment. There is no discomfort at tbe
time and no weakness after. You
don’t have to give tbe child “a double
dose" a day or two later.
Can constipation be safely relieved
in children? "Yes!” say medical men.
"Yes!” say many mothers who have
fotlowed this sensible medical advice:
I. Select a good liquid laxative. 2.
Give the dose you find suited to the
system. 3. Gradually reduce the dose,
if repeated, until the bowels are mov
ing naturally without aid.
♦An approved liquid laxative (one
that is widely used for children) is
Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin. The
mild laxative action of this excellent
preparation is tbe best form of help
for children — and grown-ups too.
The dose can be regulated for any
age or need.
Your druggist sells Dr. Caldwell’s
Syrup Pepsin.
