SENSE AND NONSENSE
By Madrie Galloway
Calm down, everyone, while I
give you my long-drawn-out intro
duction. Here goes!!
Jotting things down (such as
whirl-wind parties, romances, etc.)
is an occupational disease of mine,
so everyone grab ’em a paper and
a “comfy” chair and follow me
while I give you a few of these
random Rosman Hi jottings at
various times.
Gather closer, girls, and I’ll tell
you something else. There’s a war;
between Harold B. and Betty R. j
just because Bob decided to show
his charming personality at a cer
tain party one night. Ha! and the
joke is Bob got in “dutch” up to
his ears too. Wow! Now that you
’ve heard the complete story—air! j
fire! and for goodness sakes don’t i
miss!! P. S. There’s another story
about a certain Leoda from the
“Big City.” So watch the press
next week and you’ll be given
complete information.
Information, please! Has Festus
W. decided to throw out the life
line again and rescue a brown
eyed brunette from s-i-n-k-i-n-g,
eh? (Now, what is the word that
would fit there? Heck I give up.
What good is a lot of bosh—-words,
anyway?) Changed your taste a!
little (?) After all, June is a very
attractive girl.
I just can’t see how they manage
it, besides it “ain’t” fair. Oh, par
don me, I guess I’d better give
you a hint about what I’m rattling
off about. It’s these freshman ro
mances, such as Edith B. and
Arnold C. There’s also the flashy,
dashing romance of Victoria G.
and Junior K. Maybe the “paper
dollie” talk isn’t a bad idea after
all. At least, you could call him
your own, eh, senior girls?
Our latest clue to Mae R’s. new
romance is: initials—E K., position
in 6th period S. H.—directly op
posite her. A-n-d, result of his at
tention, a great big forced smile.
I see Jean H. has been up to
some more dirty work (such as
marking through some juicy gos
sip of mine) so I’ll just give her
a “double dose.” Maybe you’d like
to h^ar that she can sympathize
v^fth “Rut” since she’s had a dose
of that walking business, or even
better, that story about a certain
girl walking off with her sunshine
and starlight the other night might
make good reading. Readers,
Jesus on the Mountain
HIGHLIGHTS ON THE SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON
By NEWMAN CAMPBELL
(The International Uniform
Lesson on the above topic for Feb.
13 is Mark 9:2-29, the Golden Text
being Mark 9:24, "I believe; help
Thou my unbelief.”)
THE EVENTS contained in to
day’s lesson took place in the
autumn of A. D. 29. Jesus and His
disciples were in the north of
Palestine, near Mt. Hermon, a
towering peak 10,000 feet high,
and visible from every part of
Palestine.
Jesus took the three apostles
dearest to or most intimate with
Him, Peter, James and John, and
went up into the mountain, where
“He was transfigured before
them,” His “raiment became shin
ing, exceeding white as snow; so
as no fuller on earth can white
them."
* With Jesus appeared Moses, the
great leader of the Jewish people,
and Elijah, the prophet, linking
the old with the new leadership.
The disciples were frightened
with this vision, and Peter, who
was the speaker of the group, but
not always wise in his speech,
babbled, "Master, it is good for
us to be here: and let us make
three tabernacles; one for Thee,
and one for Moses, and one for
Elijah.”
^ Voice Comes From Cloud
A cloud then overshadowed
them, and a voice came out of the
cloud, saying, “This is My beloved
Son; hear Him.”
Suddenly they found Moses and
Elijah had vanished and they were
alone with the Master. As they
came down from the mountain
Jesus told them not to tell anyone
of what they had seen “till the
Son of Man were risen from the
dead.” This saying puzzled the dis
ciples and they talked with one
another, wondering what the Lord
meant. They also asked Jesus
what was meant fey the saying
that Elijah would come first, and
He explained that Elijah had
come—meaning that John the
Baptist had prepared for His—the
Lord’s—coming.
As they came to level ground
on the south of the mountain, they
saw a great multitude of people,
and scribes were questioning
them. The ^ people ran toward
Jesus and saluted Him, and one
among them brought his son. a
boy who from childhood had been
afflicted with an evil spirit—one
who was deaf and dumb, but
which tore and wrenched at the
poor child, throwing him cm the
ground where he wallowed foam
ing.
Sometimes this evil spirit had
made the boy throw himself into J
fire and sometimes into water to I
destroy him. The father asked
Jesus to do something for them if {
Ke could.
“If thou believe, all things are
possible to him that believeth.”
Jesus said, and the poor father an
swered. with tears, “Lord. I be
lieve; help Thou mine unbelief."
Boy Appears Dead *
Jesus ordered the spirit to come
out of the boy, which it did, but
the boy lay on the ground as if
dead, and the crowd really
thought he was dead. Jesus, how
ever, in His tender, compassionate
way, took the boy’s hand and lift
ed him up; “and he arose." He was
completely healed.
The disciples had tried to cast
out the evil spirit from the boy,
but couldn’t, and they wondered
why that was. They talked about
it among themselves and finally
asked Jesus why it was that they
couldn’t exorcise this evil spirit,
as they had done such things be
fore. Jesus answered, “This kind
come forth by nothing but by
prayer and fasting," implying
that they had not the time or
requisite faith to perform this
miracle of healing.
When the boy’s father had said
that he had asked the disciples to
cast out the demon and they had
failed, Jesus had exclaimed, “Oh
faithless generation, how long
shall I be with you? how long i
Shall I bear with you?” His time !
was growing short, as He implied |
in referring to His coming death ,
and resurrection, when talking to
the disciples when they came
down from the mountain. It was
necessary, then, that they should
be prepared to carry on His woft,
and it grieved Him that even then
they had not the necessary faith
to carry op. Each one needed to
pray as had the father of the af
flicted boy, “I believe; help Thou
my unbelief.”

Principal Rufty Is
Speaker At Chapel
By N. L. PONDER
In his talk at chapel exercise
last Friday, Principal J. E. Rufty
ably presented some lessons on
February to the school students.
“You think of Ground Hog Day
in February and the ground wea
ther,” he stated, “but I don’t think
the Lord would leave His work in
nature under the control of a
ground hog.”
Mr. Rufty presented lessons to
learn from the lives of Washington
and Lincoln, whose birthdays
come in February. “Washington’s
life was great,” Mr. Rufty said,

you just thought was so important
