All were employed about the.mill. ——o-* STREETS ENJOY FIRST BATH Leaksville streets were treated to a much opeded dose of city water yesterday. It is not at all unlikel; that they -were surprised at r^ceiv ing their first bath from the effects ing this new water system Lets hope they will not experience any bad effects—a cold, grippe or flu. Several noted local characters told us a few years ago that we would never, live to see this. They evidently had not taken into ac count our sticking qualities. At any rate their efforts to block progress failed in this one instant at least.

This is considered one of the most mportant captures made in Cork county. -———n IMPORTANCE OF PRAYER ITS HELPFULNESS I. Jesus «t the Mount of Ollvot (t. 89). He went from the upper room upder cover of night to the gar den of Gethsemane. Gethsemane means oil press. It la a place where the oil was crushed out of the olives. There Is n striking significance In Jesus’ coming to this place. Olive olf was precious, being used both for food and lighting. The bruising and crush ing of Christ In this garden has yield ed the largest blessings'in the world. It has provided food for men's souls and light for their lives. II. His Companions (vv. 39, 40). Peter, James and John, who had been with Him .on the Mount of Transfig uration, were permitted to go with Him tnto the deep shadows'of the garden. He took those who were best able to apprehend the meaning of the tragic hour to be His sympathising companions. This was needed to pre pare them as His witnesses. Then too, as a human being He craved sym pathy. — Josus Praying (vv. 41-44). 1. He Withdrew From the Dis ciples fv. 41). Kven these disciples of the “Inner circle" could not go with him. He tore himself away from them for He must be alone In this darkest hour. He kneeled down and prayed. 2. What He Said (vv. 42-44). “If thou be willing remove this cup from me.” The cup did not mean the phys ical sufferings of . the- cross, though they wore very great. He did not now desire to escape from the cross and thus stop short of Hla redemp tive work, for this was the supreme purpose of His coming info the world (Heb. 2:14). It was rather the revela tion to Him by the cross which loomed before Him, of His Identifies tion with sin in becoming the world's Hedecmcr. Hy virtne of the holiness and perfection of Ills nature, He could do nothing else than shrink from It. He saw In this bearing of the sins of. the world the turning away of His Father’s face. Knowing what was before lllra, He came to Gethsctyane for this hour, and In. It IJe consciously brought his human will into accord with the divine will. Though the cup was hitter he bowed in submission to the Father’s will. So gieat wad this agony that His sweat was as It were great drops of bfood falling down to the ground. In this crucial hour an angel from heaven strengthened him. IV. The Disciples Sleeping (vv. 46, 49). They had boasted of their fidel ity, hut could not watch with Him for an hour. lie had Issued a word of warning to them, but they were so benumbed with sorrow that they failed. He gently rebuked them, and commanded that they rise and pray lest they enter intd temptation. V. Jesus Betrayed (vv. 47, 48). 1. The Betrayal (v. 47). This was done by Judas, one of the tvrelve. He had enjoyed the most intimate rela tions with the Lord, eating with Him, listening to His teaching, witnessing Ills marvelous miracles and enjoying Ills confidence. %. The Sign of Betrayal (v. 47). It was the kiss, the token of the most tender affection and friendship. He now degrades it by making it the token of disloyalty and treason. Jesus' words to this infamous dis ciple shows the infinite tenderness of His heart < If Judas had been at all human this pathetic appeal would have smitten him to ^he very heart. How many professing disciples have proven their disloyalty to the Master and even betrayed Him. All who bear , the name, Christian, and especially ministers and teachers who deny the virgin birth, Deity and vicarious atonement of Christ are following In the footsteps of Judas. May each one Inquire, “Lord, is It I?" VI. Jesus Arrested (v. 54), The multitude around with swards and clubs led by Judas Invaded the sacred precincts of the garden and arrested Jesus and brought Him be fore the high priest, Our Blessings, It Is good for us to think that no grace or blessing Is truly oars till we are aware that God has blessed some one also with It through us.—Phillips Brooks.

Good llip Appeal to all housewives of Rock ingham county to Bend their discard ed clothes to the Near East Relief was made this week by Mr B. Frank Mebane of Spray, County clothing chairman for this great humanitar ian organization. Mr. Mebane pointed out that while we are discarding our winter clothing we can save human lives by sending it to the Near East Relief instead of putting it away in the at tic or closet to provide a breeding ground for moths. Most counties ol North Carolina have just finished their financial campaign and the states is reported nearly over the top in this respect. Dr. C. E. Brooks, state superin tendent of education, is clothing chairman for the present drive antT he has the active assistance of Jo sephus Daniels, honorary state chairman and Col. Geo. H. Bellamy, state chairman. Governor Morrison has issued a proclamation declaring May 1st Bundle Day and asking all true Tarheels to send a bundle of warm clothing to the Near East Re lief. Many school teachers of this county , at the request of Dr. Brooks have organized their classes into a corps for collecting discard ed clothing in their respective com munities. Clothing can be turned over to Mr. M-ebane or sent to the Near East Relief clothing ware house in Raleigh. ! Rockingham county’s goal is 3000 pounds of clothing in which there is still some wear.

De | daring their belief that Christian 1 principles offer the only solution of i race problems, and that the South is today the ‘crucial testing ground’ * of these principles, they pledged their support to the effort to secure for Negroes as well as for whites the protection of law and “the priv ileges and conditions to which Ihev are entitled as citizens, such as san itation lighting and grading of streets, better housing conditions, ind other civic advantages. One of the strongest paragraphs in the paper is that relative to lynching, which is as follows: We register herewith our protests again the barbaric custom of lynch ing, which arouses violent and un christian passions brings law into disrepute, is inhuman and brutal, and unknown outside of our own land of America. We hold that no circumstances can ever justify such violent disregard for law and that in no instance is it an exhibit.on of chivalric consideraton and honor of womanhood.” The statement lays strong and re peated emphasis on the responsibil ity of white people, as ihe more ad vantaged race, to set the Negro a worthy example, protect him from vicious influences, and encourage and help him to rise in the scale of ‘character and conduct. The editors of newspapers are appealed ro in be half of more generous publicity for the Negro’s worthy achievements, and less for stories of crime and un worthiness. Rev. C.
