Resolutions Drawn
By Committee
Walnut Cove, April 28.—At
a recent group meeting of citi
zens discussing the question
•if farm relief a committee
composer! of H. H. Davis,
prominent merchant and busi
ness man of Walnut Cove, \V.
G. Holoman. fertilizer dealer,
and J. E. Trevathan, county
farm demonstrator, was ap
pointed to draw up resolutions
relating to this timely subject.
The resolutions follow:
Whereas, the tobacco grow
ers are now receiving less than
a living wage from the grow
ing of tobacco, and whereas the
Government is receiving a tax
of $3.00 per thousand on cigar
ettes made from approximately
3 pounds of tobacco for whicn
the farmer is paid about 60
cents;
Be it resolved, that we peti
tion the Government of the
United States to reduce the
tax on tobacco 50 per cent and
that we use our jinfluence to
have this reduction passed on
to the farmer as a higher price
for tobacco.
Be it further resolved that
these resolutions be sent 10
other tobacco counties and that
these counties be r.sked to take
similar action.
Be it further resolved that a
copy of these resolutions be
given to the press for publica

"The Resurrection
Of Christ.' 1
(By REV. D. W. ALLEN )
( Text, Romans, 1:4.
"And declared to be the Son
of (iod with power, accord
• ing to the spirit of holi
ness. by the resurrection
.. ! from the dead."
- :
! The Resurrection of Jesus
- j Christ is the keystone of the
-! Christian hope. Take it away,
1) and the arch will collapse, ami
-' all that it supports be reduced
 1 to a ruin. We ha *e St. Paul's
| word for this: "If Christ hath
* not been raised, then is oui
t preaching vain and your faith
> also is vain." The Resurrec
t tion is a historical fact, and
when we say in the Creed. "I
I'believe in the Resurrection of
. the dead and the life of the
world to come" we declare thai
•'our faith is reasonable. And it
1 is based upon authentic sour
; ces. This great belief* is the
; charter of the nobility of the
human race; it is the chief
..article of our christian hope.
It is a faith which every chris
! tian lives upon day by day. It
•! gives light La his life every day
of the week, and is his guide in
; ! the common business of life. It
is a truth which beyond all
j others stamps a value upon all
Ihe does, says, and thinks. In
the church of Christ every
.Sunday is a feast of the Resur
-1 rection of our Lord.
As to the Resurrection beintr
a historical fact: we have full
particulars of the time and
place. It is not an idea or a
doctrine only, but an event
which we know to have actual
ly occurred, as truly as any
other attested fact in history.
But the Resurrection of Christ
is not merely a historical event
, which rests on sufficient evi
dence. and is the necessary
sequel of the Incarnation and
, the Cross. It has for us a vast
. moral and spiritual value.
Of the moral power of the
Cross we hear much, and too
much cannot lie said. The mor
al power 1 f the Ki -urrection ; s
less often insisted upon by
preachers. or realized by
christians generally. Vet there
, is much about it in the New
. Testament. "As Christ was
raised from the dead through
. the gloiy of the Father, so we
also should walk in newness of
life .... He died unto sin
once: but the life that He now
livcth. He liveth unto God.
Even so recoil ye also your
selves to be dead unto sin. but
alive unto  lod in Christ Jesus."
And we who in Baptism are
made to share His death and
Resurrection must daily die
unto .-in and rise again to
righteousness. Our likeness to
His Resurrection begins here
in the continual rising of the
heart of God in union with the
D' w life of our risen Lord.
Elsewhere St. Paul describes
the christian experience as,
■ "Knowing the power of Christs
j Resurrection," the quickening
bracing sense of union with the
, risen life of our Lord. And St.
Peter speaks of our whole life
being regenerated by the hope,
"the living hope,'' which is the
Resurrection of Christ from
the dead, not only the hope of
immortality, but the hope of
j living in the ages to come in
the presence of God, and unto
I Him. That is a 'living hope,'
Uull of life and strength, mak
ing our life here a preparation
for the greater life hereafter,
I I stimulating us to all good and
God-like work. It is for this
moral and spiritual result of
faith in the Resurrection that
1 the church teaches us to pray
" in the Collect for Easter day;
J the fact stated is, "Almighty
: God, who through thine only
' "Knowing the power of Christ's
' has overcome death, and open
-1 ed unto us the gate of everlast
* ing life," and the moral effect
is, "We humbly beseech Thee
" that, as Thou dost put into oui
e minds good desires so . . wt
\ may bring the same to gooc
1 effect. Faith in the Resurrec
3 tion of Jesus, and experienct
1 of its moral effect act and re
e act upon one another. If w
know the power of the Resur
* rection, and find ourselves riser
3 with Christ into a new life 01
1 righteousness, we will not b;
13 troubled by the doubts we fin
expressed in books, papers am
sermons. This does not mea:
e we are to deny that there an
' difficulties, for they do exist ii
such a unique and supernatura
fact as Our Lord's Resurrec
tion. But let us at all time

|* the life of Christ, and the time
we would spend _in search for
points of criticism, spend ir
seeking for those things whicl
are above. And as we grow in
to His likeness, light will shim
! where once darkness reigned
j Ours will be the peace which
1 passeth all understanding,
j There is another note of tht
| Resurrection which from the
s j countenances of many chris
; tians they have failed to real
• j ize. It is the note of joy. Wt
j j ought to be happy today with
j our minds filled with the Vic
s tory of Christ over death. It is
n the day when the news sing;:
~ out for us again that God has
:1 conquered death for us in
Jesus Christ. I.et us ask our
j selves honestly, are we happy?
j Does the fact of Christ's Resur
f rection. and the possibility ol
our sharing in His Resurret
, rected life make our hearts
[ turn within us for joy? There
is much in life and in our indi
, vidual lives which tends to
? make us sad and despondent,
f But the gospel of Jesus Christ,
crowned by the good news of
His Resurrection from the dead
t comes with a message of joy
. into which we may enter now
, and have peace. Have we
[ found that joy? Easter joy is
I not the joy of watching the
; battle of life from some seclud
j ed spot, and rejoicing that oth
. ers are sacrificing for your
safety. But it is the joy of
the warrior who goes forth to
, battle, willing to face the
I enemy and if needs be die, of
i his hands, for that which is
I right. It is the loosing oneself
in the service of a risen and
victorious Christ. And this my
. friends was the story of the
early Church. Its ring is one
full of joy—trial, prisons, per
! secutions, martyrdom—but a
joy that nothing in the world
. can touch. And that story has
II gone on and n. It is in the
' 1 world today. The hymns which
! we >ing today were written- by
, | men who had the same joy in
(the knowledge of the risen
i Kavic 11 r. as ih" early christians.
. I This joy can be found by u>
! i Weak, tempted, frail and fool
| ish men and women like u>
, have found it. Let us beliov.
. that Jesus rose from the dead
. lives today, wants to reign it.
! our hearts, and share with us
His victory of that first Kastei
day. And when we have ac
! knowledged Him. opened the
. I door of our hearts, the spirit
jof holiness which marked His
' \ life as worthy of the Resur
i rection, shall bring us eternal
.! joy. When we have died to sin
1 1 and been raised to righteous-
I ness through Jesus we can
j celebrate His Resurrection ev
lery day of the year, for our
I daily joy is serving the risen
, | Lord.
One of the greatest fa t »'s
. in life which cause men to de
j spair and lose interest in things
, | worth while, is tneir failure to
realize that death does not end
. the progress of goodness. For
r Christ's death and Resurrec
. tion meant the enlarging of
His Kingdom. "If I be lifted
, up I will draw all men unto
me." His work while on earth
was a limited work, but lHs
i death, Resurrection and ascen
• sion made His universal. What
f could bring us more joy than
, the assurrance that death does
, put an end to our ambitions.
' That which we have all our
. lives striven and sacrificed for,
j all which we have accomplish
ed, is it to be buried with our
] bodies never to be allowed to
s come to perfection. The joy
f ous message of the Resurrec
t tion of Jesus is that our lives
: are eternal. Christ had said
; over and over again that the
YI grave was not the end of hu
y man existence, and His own
s Resurrection confirmed His
_ teaching.
It is not possible to exag
t gerate the importance of the
i, christian doctrine of immortal
r ity. Belief in it transforms our
e whole outlook on life. It en
d ables us to see the reason of the
struggle between good and
e evil, in which we are forced to
take part. This life is a pro
e cess of soul making. Our spir
r- itual conflicts are Divinely or-
II dained that we may win a fel
if lowship with God which shall
i 2 outlast death. God has mad
(1 us for Himself, and we are nol
/j merely earth products whicl
n time destroys. The Hand thai
•o made us is Divine. We art
n potentially sons of God, treat
Lil ed to share the benefits of son
c- ship to God. Yet my friends
53 we must be born again, die t'

i Sell Fresh Produce
| At Roadside Markets
North Carolina's system of
paved highways offers farmers
. and rural housewives the op
, portunity to dispose of their
. products at a profit at roadside
. markets
j "The fact that the passing
I world will stop at an attractive
e roadside stand and buy country
- produce while it is fresh has
i not interested our folks in
b North Carolina to the extent
that it should," says Dr. J. G.
. Knapp, marketing expert at
e State College. "Most of us do
_ I not seem to realize that high
r way marketing of farm pro
_ ducts is a paying proposition

C 1 iously. Roadside marketing is

[. many growers an outlet foi
II their surplus produce. I would

lt farmers try it "»
h! In a survey made in anothej
it state, 1,672 consumers saic
e they found roadside market;
t- a satisfactory place to buy be
i- cause they could get fresh
3, foodstuffs of good quality at t
,o reasonable price. Others sai(
they would like to buy at road-|
side stands because the pro I
duets ware locally grown and
they would be using their mon
ey in the home community.
Those consumers who did not
patronize roadside stands said
the reason was that the quality
was usually only poor to fair,
the price was too high or the
l service was poor.
' More than half of the con
sumers interviewed in the sur-!
vey said tlijey would prefer to
buy from the roadside stand
rather than at a local retail
store. Most of these buyers
wanted fresh produce and
found that they could get it by
driving out a short distance to
some farm roadside stand.
| The most important single
reason given for stopping at
i roadside stands was that the
i display was attractive, says
j Dr. Knapp.
