Then sorrow and trouble began ? and others^ Husband in wife and three small cbil-l out anyone to provide for I them. A.sad condition 1 -tjyvjvhiskey drinking and! And this Is only , a item of the disgrace, sorrow, iction, suffering and death by this deadly foe of hu Ity. ? - Dear people, let us consider what nefarious business is doing in loved country. Let us con the dangers of our highways, ngers of our young people, ilally our boys. The most of! court proceedings are caused this drink evil. Look what It our 'country hi trials of the !isky offenders. Look at the heavy ,x -burdens caused partly by the rhlskey business. Look at lowered idards of citizenship caused by drink demon. We are losing the noble, purposes, and high art of true'living: And so many have degraded and perverted view of life owing greatly to the de praved Influence of king alcohol or the ruinous whiskey business. Dear people, I mean no offence to any one. I do not appeal to your pas sion, malice or envy, but I do appeal ivi^h all sincerity and earnestness of my soul to your better nature, judg ementsgwfyour patriotism. Let us be ffilttrertruly and sincerely patriotic. Let us deny purselves the evil pas sions and pleasures of this short life and thereby exalt and elevate our beloved country which Is ..so much needed. But I have drifted from my sub ject. Mr. Black Warns his son ?"-j&out keeping bad company, telling him he cafi always flee from the ? bad company and de who- will Influence you This is "very true and ! ce /the ? (condemned pis son. And so very fdvlce needs to be given at this time. This Is ,t duty for parents and Ich Is often neglected. go back and parents to blame. We had bet ne than be in bad com ie Book tells us to enter th of the1 wicked and ie way of evil' men; by St., turn from It "JE and pass away. Proverbs. Many ? and terrible are the results of not. heeding this great Divine com-1 mand. * * * I The condemned man gives his son J ! some good advice, telling him to go j to school, study hard and be sin- j ' -ere, obedient and kind and. thoughtful in every walk of life, get j all the learning you can and be a man the world can be proud of. The j Tay to do this Is to take Christ lnj your youth, let. Him by faith leai! v.iu through and always be a shin ing light for Him. Read the.Bible for' bow to live up to His com mandments and always obey the vfllce of the Lord. It's going to be hard for you. but remember, son, Qod will never leave you nor for sake you. Discouragement is the Devil's best tool to test the spirits fervently and sincerely. Readers, this is good and great advice, instruction and admonition., and this applies to millions and millions in our country today.- More of it- should be given by parents and heeded by children. This would bring about a great moral awaken ing and reformation which is great ly needed. Continuing his address, the father said to his son. And when life's race has been run you will never regret that you trusted In Christ long ago. I really know, son, the way of the transgressor is hard. Here the father repeats the scripture we have all heard so often - and' now?he knows by sad experience and can testify to the truthfulness of -it. Hiis applies to all the unconverted. You may not be a murderer, robber, or a rough, violent sinner, yet you will find the way of the transgressor is hard. Some time in this life and without true heartfelt repentance It will be. rough in the beyond and eternity. I suffering and wretchedness. -Well I has the poet said, "It is not all of illfe to live." The father concludes .bis admon ition to fris ?vtii, saying, Sod, plaase do commit "thy ways unto the Lord. God bless you and give you a long life so you can testify of the bless edness of" the Christ who died for us all. From your daddy. Help sisters and mother -to be always happy and joyful. | Son, commit thy ways unto the Lord. How great and important . this is for all people, especially christians. The Book tells us to commit thy ways unto the Lord and ! He' will direct thy paths, and then we would go- in the ways' and paths j of true peace, honor and happiness.; i Dear people, this charge of a dy j-ing man is worthv of our serious, ' sober, second thought, and prayerful profound consideration. Under the supervision of .the farm agent, the Catawba County Home . properties have increased in valua-i | tion nearly $4,00 Oand the operating J budget has dropped over $4,000! since 1930, Crop rotation plans, begun by 1 Hertford County farmers in 1929 are ' still being followed and are proving profitable, they report. HearD about TowN The other day there was a gen tleman who was complaining about everything, and seemed to take es pecial delight In saying ugly things about Roxboro. finally a gentle man, and one of Roxboro's best, tired of the tirade and asked him hog long he had been a resident of Roxboro. About 15 years, he re plied. Well, said the second gen tleman, If you have lived off of Roxboro for that length of time you Bhould be ashamed of yourself ; If the town Is as bad as you say, why don't you move on? There are no strings on you, and the town would be better off without you. Amen, says we. Figure It out and see how be stands: "I tun worse off than I was last Christmas; I didn't have a dollar then, and It Is even worse this season." What is his condition. Of course you knew Just how It would be, but still .many put oft doing their Christmas shopping un til the last minute, and when they tried to do their buying could hard ly get waited on, and in addition, found many things sold out. Too bad, but it is always that way. Jake says, if you like just one in. filling out your table for Christmas dinner he knows where you can get that guest. v F. O., Jr., Says if you want to find him during the holidays, just phone or wire Virgilina, Va. And now, wishing you a Happy Christmas and a Prosperous, Ne'w Year, we say good-bye for the dear old year of 1934. EY? FOR DETAIL By EMILE C. SCHNURMACHER (Reading Time?4 minutes) "Sure son, I liked that article you had about me in the paper yestiddy. A reporter can do an old flatfbot a lot of good down to headquarters. One thing you got a bit mixed up though ... that line about 'Officer Moriarity had an eye fof detail! that prevented a daring jewelry,; stick up.' Beggin' your pardon for cor recting yuh, it was Lefty that had the eye for detail, only he miscal culates a bit. "Yuh see, Lefty was a guy that worked on his own. When he plan elry Store, he had everything flgger ed right -down to the last detail. He musta studied that store for a week before the stiekup. He knew that old man Erekine let his two clerks go promptly at five, keeping the store open until quarter past. "As near as I can Agger it, he counted on doing the Job at exactly five past five, allowing himself ex actly four minutes to scoop up the necklaces, then slipping out of the store and losing himself In the orowd of office workers that would be com-, lng out of the big office buildings on either side of the store. "Yestiddy he saunters up the Avenue and has a last look In the window to see that them five dia mond . necklaces Is still there. We know he was In front of the store I because old man Ersklne told me' later he chanced to look out of the; window and see this neatly dressed i guy carefully set his watch by the; clock in the window. Prom there he! saunters North towards the Park. | "A little later, I come to relieve Officer Rellly. I've been down the block a coupla times when I spot this bird half way down the block. He looks at his watch then walks briskly towards Ersklne's place. "I don't know Lefty, of course, or that he has a police record, but that brisk' walk of his gets me a bit suspicious. When a guy buys Jewel j ry, he dont walk briskly. He kinda hesitates about going Into the place I where he'll lay a lot of dough on the line. Sorta thinking it over, like. ?; "I ducks back Into the doorway ] of a dress shop before he sees me j and watches Erskine's entrance. Sure enough, this bird Is only in | the place five minutes when ' he walks out just as briskly. He takes ! a swift look at his watch, then looks at the office building next door and i seems to hesitate a bit like he's con fused. Then he walks to the curb | to hail a cab. "At that minute Erskine pokes his head out of the doorway and starts yelling bloody murder. That's enough hint for me. I yank out my gun and start running for Lefty. "He sees me coming and li^ a. $plit | second there's a gun in his hand and he lets go.. He misses me and I hear a tinkle of broken glass be hind me as the bullet" goes throygh Erskine's window. Before he can fire again, I pull the trigger and drops him on the curb. Then I turns around to Erskine, who's as white as a sheet. " 'What's the matter,' X yell, "pid his bullet get anyone?' "Erskine looks at the window. Then he pulls out his watch, com } pares It with the clock in the 'win dow. Then he looks back to me. 'No, officer,' he says, 'the bullet didn't do much damage. Just a pane ' of glass and the big clock In the window. The glass is Insured, and the clock. It seems too bad to pun ish a faithful servant that way?on a first offense that really saved us. You can see it from inside the store and out, you^see. For twenty years we've been going and coming by that "clock, and today for the first time in all those twenty years It ran thirteen minutes fast.'" ADVERTISE IN THE COURIER Short Sermons *> By Joe B, Currin THE MEANING OF BLESSINGS What la th6 measure of the Lard's blessings .to His people; how does He deteriine how. much to give them? When we behold the earth and. the heavenly bodies which' are His creations there is left no room tdt doubt as to His ability. He who made the body can sustain the body; He who? created the soul can supply the needs of the soul. When we recall His dealings with individuals such as Moses, David,1 Saul, and others, we realize that He knows the conditions of each and all, and there is, therefore, no grounds, to doubt His knowledge' of what to bestow oo Bis children. Moreover, the fact that Jesus Christ died for men an Calvary should assure us that the Lord's, love for us Is sufficient to prompt Him to give the very best. "How shall He not with Him freely give us all things." Since, then. His power, wisdom, and love are sufficient for us to re- ! celve the best where are we to look for the explanation of the fact that; we receive what we do and no more j By what does He measure, His bleaaings? j Is it not true that our blessings ore measured by our capacity to re ceive and use? We do not all get the same out of a walk In the woods, a musical concert, or a visit to an art gallery. We benefit by our abll- ' lty to "appreciate. God's supply is unlimited but our ability to receive' , . . a and use Is not unlimited. We read that at times. Jesus said "Be It done unto you according to thy 'faith." Is that .not the meas ure of what we get out of life? Whether It be In things material or things spiritual are we not get? ting what we have laith to believe we will get? Bis supply Is Inexhaustible; His wisdom is infinite; His love is un speakable] .But there is a measure of what one receives?"According to thy faith." ?.?: o . - * FRENCH TERROR RTdtttwi of the exploits at a French detective, who tor nine Tears was a detective by day and a gangster chief at night.
