"HONOR TO WHOM
HONOR IS DUE."
By 0. J. JONES
It seems to me that it is due the
good folks to whom I minister in
divine thinrrs that a word of ap
preciation of iheir kindness be said.
There kindnesses have been so many
that I can not recall them all. I
think of more recent ones. There
was the purse to buy a cow to tal'e
the place of the one that had died.
Then came my trip to Washington.
Arid ? now a good representation of
the stewards at Sylva tell mc that*
they will excuse me from my pas
toral duties for a month's vacation.
What shall I say? If I felt that I
ia any waj met the terms of that
promise, 1 would quote the words
about doing kindnesses to a prophet.
I fee> th'?uy that is a re
ward foi beina; kinl to even a ordi
nary preaenor. ! wanr h:! the folks
all round about to know that the
L-ooa people to whom I minister are
just the most geiietoivs people any
where.
DOC MESSER BREAKS JAIL

Haywood county roads, by the re

JACKSON COUNTY JOURNAL
PRAISES JACKSON COUNTY
/
The following is taken from au
artical, by Julius C. Hubbard, in
Carter's Weekly, who has been tell
ing his readers of the wonderland of
Western North Carolina, as seen by
him during his honeymoon:
Another unusual spot on No. 10
is Balsam, which is the highest rail
road point east of the Rocky Moun
tains. There is a large hotel there,
and it is located in the midst of the
Balsam Mountains.
There is road work going on in
Jackson county. Route 10 is being
Constructed, andl by, next summer
tourists will no doubt be able to travel
a fine graveled highway all the way
to Murphy.
The town of Sylva, the county
seat of Jackson, is a fine little place.
It is nestled down around tlfe foot
of mountains and has a population
of about 1,500l A new $60,000 school
building is to be erected there soon,
and the town has recently installed
a complete water system costing over
$100,000 and paved its main street.
The courthouse at Sylva is situated
way up on a hill overlooking the
? town. The burning of the Commer
cial Hotel at this place several
months ago was a great loss to the
town. Efforts are now being made
to construct a new building. The
situation there resembles the hotel
situation in North Wilkesboro very
much. Dillsboro is a small town
nearby.
II' you are ever in Jackson don't
fail to drive up to the Cherokee In
dian Reservation. It is a trip worth
while, and not only does one see and
talk to real Indians but the road
passes thru a beautiful section of
country. To go to the reservation
Route 10 is traveled and you go
down the Tucaseigee river, via Bar
ker's Creek and Whittier until the
Oconolufty , river is Reached. Thlen
one travels up the "Lufty" river to
the reservation, the entire distance
from. Sylva beiug^aly about 20 miles.
The reservation m Swain embraces
about 1400 a civs. There are other
reservations in 'rshani and Cherokee
comities. In S>\;;in there is a mod
em school center, equal to most
any college, with electric lights and
water system. There are a number
of fine buildings and play ground
equipment. Free tuition is furnished
the Indian boys and girls by thcUnit.
ed State Government, and alter they
finish high school, and if they so de
sire, they are sent to the Indian col
lege, Carlylc. The writer witnessed
a class of Indian boys and girls be
ing taught by a young white lady,
and talked the first indinan man
in his life. The younger Indians
speak and understand English readily
but the older ones use only the na
tive tongue. If you ever see a man
walking along in a slothful way, with
stooped shoulders and with his face
hanging down, he is an Indian. It
is said that in almost every instance
the Indian is lazy, however they farm
make baskets and pottery, which find
a ready sale on the market. The
government is certainly taking good
care of the Cherokee Indian tribe.

o
LISTENING
By 0. J. JONES
The editor of the Northwestern
Christian Advocate ohsetves that
people have lost the art of listening.
And he says they have lost it because
they have ccased to make the prop
er preparation for listening. At the
close of a sermon in a Weslcvan
church in England, a member came
querously to the preacher and said
to him, with reference to Che old
days, "There were great preachers
kn those days". The luiniptejf re
plied, >"Yes, and there were great
h?arers in those days." The effect
of the discourse rests in considerable
degree on the manner of its reception.
A certain mental and soul attitude
must be maintained if the right end
is secured, and it is seriously sus
pected the average church attendant
does not have that attitude.
How can he have it? Work and
pleasure are pushed far into the
Saturday. People lie in bed late Sim
day morning, and therefore arc not
as fresh mentally as on other days.
They hurry till the last minute and
rush to church without, reading tho
Bible or. praying. People cannot be
have that way and get much out of
the worship of God at preaching.
The Bible commands us (Mark
4:24) to be careful about our hearing.
A command that is more suited to
lots of people I know would be, 'take
heed that ye hear'. And we havo the
command too in Mark 9:7. A long
time ago it was said that it pleased
God by the foolishness of preaching
to save them that believe, (1 Cor
inthians 1:21) and it is still truo
that the value of a church is to be
found in what happened in the hour
of public worship when tho word of
God is preached. If that is not fruit
ful of good the church is failing.And
it cannot be fruitful of great good
unless people have the listening
heart. The listening heart must be
cultivated through prayer and Bible
reading. If those who attend church
would take time on Sunday morning
to be alone with God and the Bible
:>0 minutes no man can tr-ll how
much more effective tho preaching of
the gospel would be. It's worth trv
ing. 1 think our greatest need in re
gard to preaching is to cultivate tho
listening heart. 4
