Of Clothing For Distribu
tion And Sale
Mrs. Herbert Finck was elected
chairman of the Transylvania
countx chapter of Save the Chil
dren’s Federation at a meeting on
Tuesday night at the home of
Mrs. Ashby Johnson here.
Mrs. E. W. James was chosen as
vice chairman and Mrs. James
Sledge as secretary. Rev. Harry
Perry is treasurer.
The committee extended thanks
to Mrs. E. F. Tilson and Mrs. Ash
by Johnson for the fine work they
have done as officers during the
past year.
The federation’s clothing room
has been moved from Rosman into
the basement of the Brevard ele
mentary school and this room will
be open every Tuesday morning
from 9:30 until 12 o’clock for dis
tribution of clothing to needy
school children.
Sale Every Saturday
Sale of old clothing will be con
ducted every Saturday morning
and the public is invited to take
advantage of the many values of
fered. The first sale will be held
December 4.
Money received from this sale
is used to purchase new clothing
for needy school children.
At the present time the local
chapter has a large supply of all
kinds of clothing. Requisitions for
children’s clothes must be sent
in by teachers before they can be
filled. Schools should apply to the
office if their supply of requisition
blanks is exhausted. Last year
school bus drivers co-operated in
making deliveries and it is be
lieved that similar cooperation will
be given again this year.
During the past year thousands
of articles of clothing have been
distributed. A report given by Mr.
Perry at the meeting Tuesday
night revealed that the chapter
has $292.53 in the bank with
which to buy new clothing and

Truthfulness at All Times
HIGHLIGHTS ON THE SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON
C By NEWMAN CAMPBELL
(The International Uniform
Lesson on the above topic for Nov.
28 is Exodus 20:16; 23:1, 7; Matt.
5:33-37; John 8:42-45, the Gol
den Text being Ephesians 4:25,
“Wherefore, putting away false
hood, speak ye truth each one
with his neighbor; for we are
members one of another.”)
“THOU SHALT not bear false
witness against thy neighbor.”
This is the ninth commandment,
and today we are studying about
what the Bible says of lies and
liars.
“Thou shalt not bear false wit
ness.” When we read those words
we picture a court of law, a pris
oner at the dock; a man or wom
an testifying for or against him.
When one takes the witness stand,
as it is called, one takes an oath
upon the Bible to tell the truth,
the whole truth and nothing but
the truth, “so help me, God.” It is
a solemn moment, and we must be
very careful to do just that We
must not guess or think some
thing may be so. We must tell
only what we really know.
A lie may send a man to prison
when he is innocent. It may take
away another’s good name and
make him a social outcast. It may
cause all sorts of misery and un
happiness.
Truth Most Important
Truthfulness is one of the most
important virtues we can possess.
Not only will a lie hurt others,
but it hurts the liar even more.
They say of some man that "his
word is as good as his bond,”
which means that such a person
does not need to take an oath that
he is telling the truth. Everyone
believes what he says because he
is known to always be truthful.
Such a person is to be envied and
imitated.
On the contrary, to be known
as a liar is a dreadful thing for a
man, a woman or a child. “I can
believe my child,” a mother should
be able to say, "for he always tells
me the truth.” Lives have been
ruined financially and homes
broken up by lies.
False Swearing
Verses 1 and 7 of the 23d chap
ter ©f pxodus read: "Thou shalt
pot raise a false report: put not
thine hand With the wicked to be
an unrighteous witness.’/ And
"Keep thee far from a false mat
ter; and the innocent and right
ous slay thou not: for I will not
justify the wicked.” The ninth
commandment la expanded and
developed in these words.
Our Lord said, “Ye have heard
that it hath been said by them of
old time, Thou shalt not forswear
thyself, but shalt perform unto
the Lord thine oaths. The word
“perform” has been interpreted to
mean pay, or recompense, or ren
der to the Lord thine oaths. This
means the oath becomes a debt to
the Lord, which must be surely
paid when we take an oath which
must be kept because it is a vow
to the Lord.
The Jews of the time were very
fond of swearing in the name of
Jehovah, by the law, by the tem
ple, by the altar, by the lamb, etc.,
much as children nowadays insist
they are telling the truth by the
statement, “cross my heart.”
Jesus said, "Swear not at all;
neither by heaven; for it Is God’s
throne: Nor by earth; for it is His
footstool; neither by Jerusalem;
for it is the city of the great
King. But let your communication
be Yea, yea; Nay, nay: for what
soever is more than these cometh
of evil.”
Tell Truth Without Oath
Quakers and Moravians will not
take an oath because they think
Jesus meant this literally that
they should not swear under any
circumstances, and the law al
lows them to testify without tak
ing the oath. With us it is a mere
form, however, as if we'live as we
should, we always tell the truth
without swearing to do it. If we
don’t we are not true Christians.
The Jews claimed that they
were children of God, but when
He sent Jesus to them, they re
fused to listen to Him and hated
and tried to kill Him. So Jesus
told them they could not really be
children of God or they would do
His bidding.
“If God were your Father, ye
would love Me: for I proceeded
forth and came from God; neither
came I of Myself, but He sent
Me.’’
“Why do ye not understand
My speech?” Their rejection and
persecution of Him, He told them,
proved that far from being sons
of God, they must come from the
devil, the evil one. “When he
speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his
own, for he is a liar, and he fa
ther of it.
“And because I tell you the
truth, .ye believe Me not.”
Isn’t it a terrible tragedy that
these people had Jesus in their
midst, and they “knew Him not?”
They were told the truth, but re
fused to believe.

STRONG PROTEST
- FROM PAGE ONE —
lison, chairman of the county board
of commissioners, have written let
ters of protest.
The complaints contend that the
future tourist business of Brevard
will be damaged if Greyhound
leases the line and that the town
and county can be better served
by an accredited system like the
Greyhound than it would or could
be served by an individual or small
independent operator.
"Passenger service on our rail
road was abandoned nearly three
years ago and we certainly do not
want to lose Greyhound now,” one
member of the committee point
ed out.
The proposed lease is for a pe
riod of five years with the privi
lege of renewal and the transpor
tation committee thinks that a con
tinued tie-up of the Greyhound
lines would mean a loss of prestige
with the traveling public and that
Greyhound is better able to pro
vide adequate and more approved
riding equipment.
“We want to stay on the map
and don’t want anytning done that
will affect our tourist business,”
members of the transportation
committee declare. “The future
outlook for our community is
bright and we believe that it will
pay the Greyhound people to con
tinue operation.”
Hundreds of persons have signed
petitions protesting the proposed
lease.
