(Ehc Brlmlmt tKcrurd VOLUME XL THIS, THAT AND THE OTHER H\ MRS. THEO. B. DAVIS In all the rites of ancient Israel itish worship and sacrifice none seems to me more impressive or more a part of human conduct to day than the annual ceremony of sending out the scapegoat. Not very much is told of this. The scapegoat is seldom men tioned but the sixteenth chapter of Leviticus gives us the main de tails of the procedure. (If you want to look it up remember that Leviticus is the third book of the Bible, a part of the Old Testa ment.) i Moses was directed by God to j give Aaron, his brother and the j priest, instructions as to his part., Aaron was to wash his flesh with water and to put on his holy linen coat and his linen breeches and upon two goats brought to him was to cast lots to determine which should be the scapegoat. He was to sacrifice a bullock as a sin of fering for himself and family and one of the goats as a sin offering for the people. Ihese were killed. But the scapegoat had a worse fate. Upon him were laid Aaron’s hands while all the iniquities and transgressions in sins of the people were confessed, thus pulling them • upon the head of the goat. Then by the haand of a fit person the goat was sent away into *he wil derness. bearing the sins into a land not inhabited. . After this Aaron took off his 1 linen clothes, bathed and offered tihe burnt offering. The man who 1 drove the acapegat into the wil-| demess came back and purified j himself and washed his clothes be ; fore entering the camp. And the; scapegoat was left to perish. Before I was old enough to see, the symbolism of it 1 used to cry j over the cruel treatment accorded the scapegoat. Os course the theo logians explain it as foreshadowing Christ’s bearing our sins; but it is in leaser degree true that we love to make scapegoats of our fellowmen. We find »t more satis fying to ourselves to load our va ried faults and failings and es pecially our sins of omission upon some one else than to bear their burden and blame ourselves. And we are whply true to the ancient j type in wanting to drive the scape goat into the wilderness when we have laid our sins upon him. Some how we can’t bear to let him stand around in eight with our transgres sion* on his head; we don’t want to work with him and we disavow responsibility for his being fed. • -We forget that it is through n«. fault of his that he has been made a scapegoat, but that the lot fell on him. All too frequently the hu man scapegoat has been a leader in the community—a leader whose followers grew tired.l And we blame him for what we have failed, to do and the fit man whose hand him away into any conveni ent wilderness is usually the chair man of some committee or other that notifies him that the time of (OottUnued on hurt page) THE FOUR COUNTY NEWSPAPER—WAKE, JOHNSTON, NASH AND FRANKLIN ZEBULON, NORTH CAROLINA, FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 27th„ 1935.

I Baer Defeated While 90,000 persons watched i from the ringside and uncounted thousands listened over radios on Tuesday night Joe Louis, Negro prizefighter, defeated Max Baer in the Yankee Stadium, New York. The fight lasted only until the 4th round and Baer is said to have tak en a terrible beating. No charges of unfair fighting have been made by those who saw the contest which t lasted about 12 minutes. Louis was i married less than three hours be fore he met Baer in the ring. I School Buses Examined An examination of school buses, in Wake County has shown that ten of them had serious mechani cal defects. One had no governor to check its motor speed. Nine had poor brakes and one had its steer ing gear out of order. In all, 87 of the 104 vehicles had some defect. School officials have been notified and asked to see that proper re pairs are made at once. Flail Killed Along the shores of the Gulf of Mt-xito the sandy beaches are strewn with hundreds, of thousand <>' dead fish, thr tftn there by the I waves. It is not definitely known wliat killed the - fish but their death is thought to have been caus -'I by some submarine disturbance. There is a theory that gas escap ing through cracks in the bottom •<f the bay poisoned the water. Sev eral weeks ago trillion* of dead fish were cast dj. near Corpus Christi and it is thought this case •ornilar. Church Column There will be a special service at the Baptist Church on next Sunday night in preparation for the revi val services which are tobegin on October 2D. T,m public is invited to attend. REVIVAL CLOSES » t I The Revival closed at Social Plains Baptist Church Sept. 22 with 21 additions to the church. Twenty of these for baptism. 'lTiose who attended the services said it was the best meeting they had been in for many years. Things happen ed that are unusual for this day. People shouting and rejoicing. And people coming to the front weeping and confessing Christ as they used to in olden times. When if one had religion you would know it by his j life. Rev. J. W. Noble is pastor of this church. Rev. A. D. Parrish did the preaching. We hope this meet ing will prove a benefit to the church and community. J The people gave their pastor a new suit of clothes as an extra present and to show their apprecia tion for his faithful service for the 1 seventeen years with them, and 1 seem to love him more than ever. —A.D.P. I ■ i ■ ■■' » 4 Chamblee Reunion Os special interest to many in this section besides the immediate family was the reunion of the de scendants of Mir. and Mrs. Sidney Ohamblee last Sunday. Gathered at the old homestead, now the home of a son, C. S. Chamblee, 1 were about one hundred persons. 1 They came from Greensboro, Ra liigh, Wendell, Bailey, Wilson, Spring Hope i Oxford Rocky Mount, and Nashville as well as ! from Zebulon and near the town. I i The old home is about one mile , from town. In the shade of the i fine grove surrounding it, on the porches and in the house the clan , engaged in talking of the past, the present and the future until the dinner hour, when well-filled bas kets were opened and their con . tents spread upon a long table in J the yard. The feast was enjoyed Iby a number of friends of the family as well as by the Chamblees In the early afternoon short talks were made, each speaker be ing fittingly introduced by C. S. Chamblee, host for the day and master of ceremonies. Edward Chamblee of Kaleigh is secretary! for the reunions and is engaged | in compiling facts relating to the family history. Only two of the brothers and sis ters have died K. D. Chamblee and Mrs. Rennie Pitts. During the past year there was no death and no serious illness among the im mediate connection. Present were the following sons, and daughters with their descend ants: A. C. Chamblee and wife, Zebu lon; Mrs. Tom Hester and Mr. Hester, Wendell; Dr. F. G. Oham blee and Mrs. Chamblee, Spring Hope; C. S. Chamblee and Mrs. Chamblee Zebulon; Mrs. C. B. Kddinr, and Mr. Eddins Zebulon. < NUMBER 12 |SMi Another “all-most” champion of the devouring tribe almost won a wager last Saturday when he of fered to eat three pounds of raw hot dogs is his boss would buy them. If he didn’t eat them, he would pay for them himself. Along i with the dogs he drank six or sev en Coca-Colas. All the dogs disap peared bul eight which still remain uneaten. The party of the first part was the mustaehed Will who works for Worth Hinton, and Worth was the one who brought the subject ip. Consequently the pressing club’s books read something like this: “Paid to Will for one week’s wr.>-k, Three pounds of weiners, 7 Coca-Colas one loaf of bread and fifty cents.” Ofcourse you’ve heard the fol lowing, but it’s good no matter how many times repeated: Kind friends, have you heard of the town of No-Good, on the banks of the River Slow, where the Some time-or-Other scents the air and the soft Go-Easies grow? It lies in the valley of What’s-the-Use, in th* province of Let-er-Slide! It’s the home of the reckless I-Don’t- C are, where the Give-It-Ups abide. The town is as old as the : human race, and it grows with the flight of years; it is wrapped in . fog of idler’s dreams; its streets are paved with discarded , schemes aifH sprinkled with useless tears.—Anon. Kannon’s plans to run an ad in the near future reading something like this—“ Pie like mother used to make, 5c per slice. Pies like moth er used to try to make, 10c per.” And the young lady, who while observing a display in a depart ment store window featuring bras sieres at $1.95 was heard to remark “H-m-m-m, that seems like a hold up to me.” And comes to mind one Law rence Tracey told me the other p. m. as wo munched bam and bologna “sanriches”. It • ppears that the skunks, moth -ler and young, were pursued by the bounds and were almost com pletely exhausted when they came to a wide, and swiftly flowing riv er, Knowing that her infants were poor swimmers and that the end was probably near, she turned to ! give them a little pep talk. “Chil , dren,” she began, “For over a year now, I have protected you as only a mother could, we have been thru thick and thin together and I love you dearly, but now my little ones, you realize as well as I that in the present crisis it’s “Stink or swim’!” I thank you. It is not known now, of course, who will run for the presidency in 1936. But it’s a safe bet that Jef ferson and Lincoln will be drawn into the campaign. What with the world series in the offing, football, fairs, carnivals and circuses it’s gonna be hard to find time to work.
