The boss said, “Write a column.”
We agreed to—naturally enough
—but we thought more directions
would come. Then the next thing
we knew he was out of town on
another of his flying trips.
Having been in Brevard only
a week our knowledge of the
town, the community and the
people is limited, so this column
won’t be like any other of its
predecessors.
A pretty snow greeted us upon
our arrival at the mountain re
sort, making Brevard seem like
the town about which we had
heard. Along with the snow came
plenty of snow-balling. The only
snowman we saw was the one little
Butch Bell, son of Mr. and Mrs.
George Bell, built down at the
Pierce Moore hotel. For a little
while everything went all right,
then “the rains came” and down
melted the man. The main dis
turbance for Butch was the fact
that his pennies used for eyes dis
appeared.

Surely Mr. Straus must have
had a grand (in both uses of the
word) birthday.
Going the rounds with Ira Arm
field, learning to solicit advertis
ing, has proven to be the best
method we know of to meet peo
ple.
Several changes have been
made around town since our
last summer’s visit. One of the
first things we noticed after our
arrival was Varner’s new man
ager, Tom Varner. Taking bro
ther Eddie’s place, he seems to
be keeping things clicking in
spite of the help situation. We
might also give him a good plug
for his doctoring ability. Proof
of how good he is can be found
in our lack of a cold, cough, and
sore throat.
Brown Carr out at the Carr Lum
ber Co. store, has been displaying
a collection of calendars. We know
Mr. Carr doesn’t need so many
“date reminders” in his office, but
then the pictures might be an
added attraction.
Sales girls at Longs drug store
had an awful time making up their
minds whether or not to have pic
tures made over the week-end.
Curtis Kelley proved to be
one of the most honest men we
know when he went into the
courthouse to tell Supt. Jones
about bumping into his car out
on the street Changing the slo
gan of “hit and run” to “hit and
not run,” aren’t you Curtis?
Pete Shiflet was seen the other
afternoon taking his dog on a
stroll. Could have been taking her
to the show — at least she was
dressed for the occasion in her
green knitted sweater.
The girls in Brevard have all
pulled out their colorful array
of kerchiefs to keep out the cold.
Presenting an eye-catching pic
ture, the Whitmire twins were
around town Friday afternoon
with bright red kerchiefs and
campus socks.
Regardless of how many other
things have changed around Bre
vard, Charlie Douglas is still seen
everywhere, everytime. Also un
changed is Rev. Ashby Johnson
and his pipe.
So, boss, here is a column. May
be it isn’t what you meant to have
but it tells what we’ve seen on

Jesus Answers His Critics
HIGHLIGHTS ON THE SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON
By NEWMAN CAMPBELL
(The International Uniform
Lesson on the above topic for Jan.
16 is Mark 2c 15-3:35, the Golden
Text being Matt. 5:11, "Blessed
are ye when men shall reproach
you and persecute you, and say all
manner of evil against you falsely,
for My sake.’’)
YOU REMEMBER our last les
son ended when Jesus called Levi,
the publican, to follow Him. We
know, Levi as Matthew.
Matthew made a great feast for
Jesus at his house and many were
invited, including, probably, some
publicans who had been associated
with Levi in collecting taxes from
their countrymen for the Roman
masters. The Pharisees, those
chronic enemies of Jesus, and the
scribes, asked His disciples, “How
is it that He eateth with publicans
and sinners?" The word "sinners"
does not mean that any of these
men were guilty of crimes, but
that they were not accepted by
the orthodox Jewish church as ac
ceptable from their legalistic
standpoint.
Jesus' answer was one of the
most precious in the whole record
of His teaching. He said. "They
that are whole have no need of the
physician,*but they that are sick:
I carr\e not to call the righteous,
but the sinners .to repentance."
i Pharisees Silenced
That silenced them on that
point, but immediately they asked
why Jesus' disciples did not fast.
The disciples of John the Baptist
and the Pharisees fasted, why not
his? Jesus answered that He, the
Bridegroom, was with them, so
why should they fast frequently?
The law ordered a fast once a
year, but the Pharisees had mul
tiplied fast days so that they
fasted twice a week, and even the
disciples of John (then in prison)
had fasted frequently.
One day He, their Master, would
not be with them, and then they
could fast oftener, but in His pres
ence there was no need to fast, but
to be joyful. You don’t sew a rent
in an old garment with new ma
terial, do you ? He asked, or put
new wine into old bottles? Old
bottles would be worn and the
fermentation of the new wine
would burst them, so new wine
would go into new bottles that
would stretch and hold it.
One Sabbath Jesus and His dis
ciples were walking in a grain
field near Capernaum, where most
of these scenes took place. As the
men walked and talked some of
them picked the grains of wheat
and ate them. This was another
way of breaking the strict Jew
ish laws, according to the scribes
and Pharisees. "Behold, why do
! our first winter’s visit to the fa
mous summer resort. The only
thing we find wrong with this
winter visiting is that we like it
too much to want to leave.
they on the Sabbath that which is,
not lawful?" they asked.
Jesus reminded them that in
their own scriptures it was re
corded that when David and those
that were with him were hungry,
they went into the temple and ate
the shew bread that was supposed
to be eaten only by the priests.
"And He said unto them. The sab
bath was made for man, and not
man for the sabbath. Therefore
the Son of Man is Lord also of the
Sabbath."
Sees Man With Withered Hand
After that Jesus entered the
synagogue and beheld there a man
with a withered hand. The Phari
sees were there, too. watching to
see if they could trip Him. if He
would heal the man on the sab
bath. Jesus told the man to stand
forth, and when he did so. Jesus
turned to His enemies and said,
"Is it lawful to do good on the
sabbath days, or to do evil? to
save life, or to kill?" But no one
answered. Then Jesus told the
man to stretch forth his hand,
and he did so and the hand was
made whol$. He was grieved and
angered at their hardness of
heart. •
Jesus and His disciples with
drew to the Sea of Galilee, and
great multitudes followed them,
and He healed many. Here He also
chose His 12 disciples to be
trained and taught to carry His
message to all the people after
He had left them.
Among the persons whom Jesus
healed were many afflicted with
evil spirits which Jesus cast out.
But the Scribes came down from
Jerusalem and said it was the
power of Satan, not of God.
through which He cast them out.
Jesus asked them how Satan could
work against himself? He also
told them what was the unpardon
able sin- to blaspheme against the
Holy Ghost. He “hath never for
giveness, but is in danger of eter
nal damnation." This He said be
cause they accused Him of having
"an unclean spirit." Blasphemy in
deed!
One more incident of this time
and we are finished, as our lesson
is long. His mother and brethren
came to the house where Jesus
was and sent word that they
wanted to talk with Him. but
Jesus said. "Who is My mother or
My brethren?" Looking around
Him at His disciples and followers
He stated, "Behold My mother
and My brethren! For whosoever
shall do the will of God. the same
is my brother, and My sister and
mother." He doubtless loved His
earthly parents and brothers and
sister, but no kin folk could claim
Him; His mission was to all the
world. Those who so needed Him
were therefore His family.
