<£hr Zrlntlmt Zlrrnrit volume xrv. This , That, and The Other MRB. THEO. U. DAVIS Have you seen the Saturday Ev ening Poßt for this week? The ex pression on the face of the baby New Year on the cover page sums up my own feelings about 1938 better than any words could. He looks as if he has more than he knows how to manage, is both wor ried and doubtful, and already troubled in his mind. With the world situation what it is, how could he feel otherwise? Therefore my wish for us all at the beginning of the year is: May the Lord give us grace and grit to bear whatever it may bring; and may we occas ionally find something to laugh at. Since the much publicized cor poral punishment of a high school girl at one of our orphanages I have been remembering an incident that took place while we were at that same institution. Not that the two are specially connected in any way; but because things seem dif ferent when really understood. THE FOUR COUNTY NEWSFAFEK—WAKE, JOHNSTON, NASH AND . FRANKLIN ZEBULON.
