second year of his ministry. °
according to tables in “The Bulletin.”
Few of the uninitiated know it, but
there seem to be many kinds of flue
cured tobacco. Moss says that in the
past twenty-four years as many as one
hundred so-called varieties and se
lections have been tested at the to
bacco station.
“These have been placed in two
groups, one being the broad leaf kinds
and the other the medium broad to
narrow leaf sorts,” he said.
“As a whole the broad leaf kinds
will yield mere but are somewhat
poorer quality than the medium broad
( to narrow leaf kinds and are from ten
I days to two weeks later in maturing.”

facilities to care for its adult feeble
minded are not inadequate, they are
non-existent.
In words of one syllable, the State
has no place to put them. Yet it is
the constitutional duty of the State
(not the counties, not the cities nor
anything else) to care for them*.
Feeble-minded children, if they are
white and between the ages of six
and 21, may get into the Caswell
Training School, near Kinston, if their
applications have been on file long
enough. Feeble-minded children, if
they are colored, may get into a ward
of the Goldsboro State Hospital when
some of the 200 now there die.

the streets, or if they just can’t make
it in the outside world, can 'be shut up

And only a small percentage of the
feeble-minded children get even the
custodial care of the State.
The recent report of the commission
for the. study of the care of the in

that there are 58,549 mentally handi
capped ,white children in the public
schools of North Carolina. Caswell
Training School is much too small
an institution to serve the State. With
an estimated 1,700 mentally deficient
children needing long-time institution
al care and training, there is a capa
city of only 785, adequate to take care
of less than 50 per cent.
At Goldsboro' the building erected
to care for feeble-minded Negro chil

is that there are at least 750 Negro
children needing longtime institution

And, as already stated, there just
are no facilities for the adult feeble

Today’s Church
Message
By REV. J. EVERETTE NEESE.
SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT.
A certain man went to hear John
Wesley preach. He cared little about
'religion; but, on the other hand, he
was not what we call a bad man. His
attention was soon excited and rivut
ed, Wesley said he should take up
three topics of thought on the general
subject of “money.” His first topic
was, “Get all you can.” The man nudg
ed a neighbor and said, “This is
strange preaching. I never heard the
like of this before. This is very good.
It is admirable preaching.” Wesley
discoursed on “industry,” “activity,”
“living to a purpose,” and reached
his second point which was, “Save
all you can.” The man became more
excited. “Was there ever anything
like this?” he said. Wesley denounced
thriftlessness and waste, and he sa
tirised the wilful wickedness which
lavishes in luxury; and the man rub
ied his hands, and he thought* “All
this have I been from my youth up.”
And what with getting and what with
hoarding, it seemed to him that “sal
vation had come to his house.” But
Wesley advanced to his third point,
which was, “Give all you can.” “Ay
dear, aye dear,” said the man; “he
has gone and spoiled it all.”

What Railroads Say.
“Freight is carried by the railroads
of the United States at less cost to
the public than in any other country
in the world except in such countries
as Japan and India where labor costs
are extremely low. In Great Britain
the average revenue received by the
railroads for carrying a ton of freight
one mile in 1936 was 2.38 cents; Ger
many, 1.40 cents, and . France, 1.16
cents. In the United States it was only
97-100 of one cent and in the first
eight months of 1937 it was still low
er, being only 94-100 of one cent.
“Since 1921, when the average rev
enue for carrying a ton of freight one
mile was 1.27 cents there has been an
almost constant reduction so that the
average today not only is the lowest
in 16 years, but is a reduction of 26,4
per cent compared with that in 1921.
“Revenue for carrying a passenger
one mile received by the railroads of
this country was 1.78 of a cent in the
first eight months of 1937. This is the
lowest average that has ever been
realized in this country so far as rail
transportation is concerned.

THE WEEKLY SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON
Che (feldeti (Text
By DR. ALVIN E. BELL.
(The International Uniform Lesson
on the above topic for Jan. 16 is Mark
1:14-28, the Golden Text being Mark
1:15, “The time is fulfilled, and the
kingdom of God is at hand: repent
ye, and believe in the gospel.”)
“GOD BURIES the workmen, but
he carries forward the work.” Now
after John was delivered up, Jesus
came into Galilee, preaching the gos
pel of God.” For a year Jesus had been
busy at his ministry in Judaea. This
has teen called “the year of obscur
ity.” Its record, found only in John
1:19-4:42, belongs between verses 13
and 14 of Mark’s first chapter, where
Mark begins his account of “the year
of popularity”, of Jesus’ Galilean min
istry. As John goes, Jesus comes. Both
have their part in the plan of God. It
is something for us to remember when
death removes our loved ones! Let us
then look for Jesus as he “comes
preaching the gospel of God.” It was
a grief-burdened, sin-cursed world in
to which Jqsus came, bringing as
God’s remedy for all humanity’s needs
nothing but “the gospel of God.” Wihat
confidence he had in the power of that
gospel, to remake a troubled world:
“Jesus came preaching the gospel of
God, and saying, The time is fulfilled
and the kingdom of God is at hand -

repent ye, and believe in the gospel.”
Authority in Realm of Devotion.
One word stands out in this lesson
as expressing the impression Jesus
made by his words and works; it is
the word “authority”. “He taught
them as having authority” and “with
authority he commandeth even the
unclean spirits, and they obey him.”
He fielded this same authority in the
realm of human devotion wherever
men open their hearts to his love.
“Come ye after me, and I will make
you to become fishers of men. And
straightway they left the nets, and
followed him.” Thus Simon Peter and
Andrew yielded to the winsome au
thority of his loving appeal. And going
on a little further, he saw James the
son of Zebedee, and John his brother.
And straightway he called them:
and they left their father Zebedee in
the boat with the hired servants, and
went after him.” How far? James to
the scaffold in Jerusalem; Peter to
the cross in Rome; John to exile in
Fatmos! And what colossal characters
he made these plain fishermen to be
come. Never would they have boasted
that they were “self-made men”!
Their Master literally “made them to
become” all they ever were.
Authority in Doctrine.

the teaching of other teachers of
whom he learned. “Verily, verily, I say
unto you,” was the keynote of his au
thority as he taught this- people about
God and heaven. He spoke with the
same authority as he addressed the
realm of demons: “Jesus rebuked him,
