THURSDAY, DEC. 27, 1934 THE FRANKLIN PRESS .ml THE HIGHLANDS MACON IAN PAGE FIVE WHtfiOGK fast line of which reads, "The fcL- UK i nd which floottiw Four Great Tr HolyBibk," its thousand ministers of all TEN GREAT MEN r thous KM Brace Barton T religious denominations were asked to name the ten greatest men. in the Bible. It was not in- ., iM i. , jy. - ..... . i . tencecl to include tne name 01 Jesus Christ, but still His name led many lists and would of . ourse, have stood first in all The second name in order of the L number of votes is nat or at. raui; the next is Moses, nd the third, Dav id. These are in Dractlcally all the lists. After these three the. Vote is more evenly dis tributed. The total number of men named is sixty, and some of those that have the smallest number of votes are accompanied by the best reasons for inclusion. From this notable 'list we select the follow ing names, not in the order of their plurality but in chronological arrangement : 1. ' Adam, the first man with conscience and a knowledge of moral, responsibility. 2. Nidfoh, the man on whom at one time hung the hope of civiliza tion! 3. Abraham, the prince of pio neers. 4.1 Joseph, political economist; man of vision and integrity. 5. Moses, lawgiver, creator of a nation, founder of the world's sys tem of legislation. 6. David, shepherd, soldier, sing er and king. 7. Jeremiah, most heroic of that 'Mid Turmoil and ShoutingHappy New Year I i jM 2l I heroic grQUp, the prophets. 8. Judas Maccabaeus, the re buiitlr of a nation. 9. John the Baptist, the herald of the dawn. 10. Saint Paul, apostle, traveler, author and martyr. The reason for the larger num ber of names in the Old Testament is doubtless to be. explained by the longer period which it covers. The New Testament narrative, from the beginning of the ministry of Jesus until the destruction of Jerusalem by Titus, ,is only about forty years, whereas the Old Testament tra verses many centuries.; ADAM : Whether you get your story of creation from Genesis or from Mr. Wells, the broad outlines are the same-r-a formless mass of, matter in motion, evolving grad-" ually into land and water, produc-i ing vegetation, and the lowest I forms of life. Then higher forms, and still higher, until finally there came one amazing individual who raised himself upon his lower limbs and dared to say, "1 am different from the rest." At first he had a hard time de fining the difference. He ate and drank like other animate. He re produced his species in the same gross sensual way. The . lusts of appetite ran in his veins with as hot a tide as in the beasts about him. He killed other animal and ate their raw and quivering flesh. Yet he was not like them. He walked unsteadily in an erect pos ture, and that was a distinction of no small significance, for it left the upper limbs free to serve the head.

The oldest of all these schools in America, founded more RELAX I'm shouting to my patrons as they fly over me as they tunnel under .me I'm screaming "RE LAX." And, I mean just that. "Lax" means loose. "Relax" means loosen. The high speed of today is killing people shortening lives. We cannot keep up the ter rific speed without disaster. They must be periods of rest. The old scriptural text, "He Giveth His Be loved Sleep," is a mighty potent five words; there is a volume of health advice embodied in what they express. Sleep is the most perfect relax ation. The good sleeper may well be envied. I have learned by ample experience that, disaster is just around the corner for my patient, unless the insomnia can be correct ed; and Natural sleep is best. I need not tell you that, for you know it already. "Tension" is the opposite of re laxation. High tension, kept up foT too long a season, undermines man's power plant his brain. The man or woman who employs the brain continually, does a flirtation with the very worst form of break down that I know of. May I say it, dear reader these days of lightning speed are deadly 1 Some oeoole do not know how to relax. With all the sincerity at my command, I beg them to learn the art of "letting go of them selves" particularly after full meals, or, when returned from the day's toil. There is every virtue in the short nap at the noon hour, if the working day is a long, busy one. To over-tax a machine wears it out before its time bear that in mind always. One can relax in the rocker with an interesting book or magazine. Get the habit of relaxing; it is worth many tons of drugs. This advice is worth heeding before it is too late. SEATTLE . . .

Its membership is limited to men who worked on any New York newspaper thirty or more years ago. I was one of the youngest present, according to the calendar, but what struck me was the youth ful spirit of'everybody there. Men sons indebted to said estate will please make immediate settlement.

CARPENTER, Administrator D13-6tc-GC-J17 FRANKLIN SHOE SHOP SAYS: WE ARE STILL MENDING SHOES well along in their seventies, some When you are in a state of mind past eighty, most still active in j Of being anytime unkind, ECONOMY . . in North Carolina The Governor of North Carolina talked in New York the other day about economy in state government. He had a right to talk about that, for North Caroltsa has been tight ening its belt and cutting its ex penditures to meet its income. There is not a state that couldn't cut its running costs by one-third, as North Carolina has done; not a county that couldn't dispense with many expenditures which benefit nobody but taxeaters. And there isn't a single political unit in the United States that couldn't balance its budget without hardship on the taxpayers if the politicians in con trol really desired to serve the peo ple instead of feeding on them. If we ever have a revolution in America it will be over the ques tion of taxes, just as our Revolu tion against the British rule was. TAXES One of the things North Carolina did to balance its budget was to enact a sales tax. New York City has lately put a sales tax into ef fect. Greatly to the surprise of politicians, who predicted uprisings, the public takes to the sales tax like a duck to water. Politicians are governed more by fear of what the voters may do to them than by any other motive. They are always afraid that people who know they are being taxed will vote them out of office. It has .been my observation that nobody objects to fair taxes hon estly collected and honestly expend ed for proper public purposes. We object to paying taxes and getting nothing for them. What the politicians really fear about the sales tax is their desire to waste money grows. REPRESENTATION . . missing I often have disagreed with Dr. Nicholas Murray Butler, president of rnlnmbia University, but I find myself in full agreement with him when he challenges the "supersti tion that the people are truly and fully represented by elected public officials." The direct primary, which was intended to give free expression to the popular will in the selection of candidates for office, has had, he points out, the opposite effect. It has "permanently enthroned mi nority rule, leaving public opinion to shift for itself." I also agree with Dr. Butler that there is no excuse for letting im mature students undertake com parative studies of despotism, de mocracy, republicanism, communism nazism or fascism. Most of the wrongheaded political and social thinking today emanates from young academicians who are not dry behind the ears. RELIGION .... in schools When the Protestant churches gave up their function of teaching, and yielded to the temptation to let the state support the schools, they sowed the seeds of irreligion and paganism. Separation of church and state is a. fundamental tenet of our Amer ican system; but instruction ot youth in religious and moral prin ciples does not run contrary to that ideal. In my youth, religious instruc tion was an essential part of pub lie school education. Even through high school, the daily 'Bible reading and hymn-singing were a part of the curriculum. I don't know how generally that has been abandoned, but I know that in the schools which millions of American chil dren attend today there is no hint of religious training or moral guid ance. " Only the Roman Catholic paro chial schools and the private schools maintained under other newspaper work and looking for ward instead of backward. One man past eighty told me he was about to sail for Madagascar; there was a good story there, he had been told. One young fellow of 77 has just wrjtten a dozen west ern adventure stories for a popular magazine. I know of no occupation that keeps men so young and compels them to keep abreast of the times like newspaper work, And a Nervous Breakdown "Would you mind walking the other w'y and not passing the orse?" said a London cabman with exaggerated politeness to the fat lady who had just paid a mini mum fare. "Why?" she inquired. "Because, if :e sees wot 'e's been carrying for a shilling, 'e'll 'ave a fit." Sorter in the downward blues; Why not let us mend your shoes. Troy Horn.
