THEWA IUNG WALL mil ADVERTISE Power Company Reduces Commercial Rates The Nantahiila Power and Light company has announced that the North Carolina Utilities .Commis sion at Raleigh has approved new reduced commercial lighting and power rates for its customers in Macon count v and the other coun ties in Western North Carolina served by the Nantahala company. Those stores and other places ot business now served on the. com pany's commercial lighting rate will receive the greatest benefit from the reduced rates. The reduction in revenue from all commercial cus tomers will amount to about 15 per cent. The industrial power rates have been reduced,, so that the bills to customers using industrial power will be reduced on an average of about 10 per cent. ' No changes are being made , in the rates to household' customers, as the residential lighting rate was -reduced on January 1, 1939. The residential rate for customers with electric ranges has been re ported by the Federal Power Com mission as one of the' lowest in the state for small communities. During the past year, the numb er , of customers- served by the power company in Macon county has' increased about 20 per cent. The great majority of the new customers are residential, and most of them live outside of Franklin and are. served from rural ". electric lines built by the company.

Dean of The Moody Bible Institute of Chicago. (Released by Western Newspaper Union.) Lesson for November 5 Lesson subjects and Scripture texts se lected and copyrighted by International Council of Religious Education; used by permission. RIGHTEOUSNESS IN THE KINGDOM LESSON TEXT Matthew 5:17-20. 38 45; 6:1-4. GOLDEN TEXT Be ye therefore per fect, even as your Father which. Is In heaven Is perfect. Matthew 8:48. Fire Destroys Setser Home October Z6 The home of C. A. Setser, and practically all of the household furnishings, was destroyed by fire early last Thursday evening. The house, which was known as the old Baird home, about three milts west of Franklin, was a nine-room frame ' structure. The kitchen and dining room were aflame when the fire was discov ered, and both Mr. and Mrs. Set ser had been away from home all day. Paul Seay,' a son of Mrs. Set ser, who lives near by, discovered the fire but was able to save only a few articles of furniture. The loss was partially covered by insurance. "Righteousness In the kingdom," the title of our lesson, properly re lates its teaching to the kingdom of the Messiah which is to come on the earth, and to the condition which shall then prevail. At the same time we agree with Dr. James M. Gray that "it would be wrong to press this too far and to say that the Sermon on the Mount has no application whatever to the Chris tian church or the time in which we live, for God is the same through all dispensations and the underlying principles of His govern ment never change." Certainly it is true that if all of the men and all of the nations of the earth were on this Armistice Sunday true followers of Christ and . ready to carry out the teachings of this lesson, there would no longer be any possibility of war. This means that the best peace propa ganda is the sending of missionaries and teachers to all the earth to win men to Chjist. i Our lesson should be studied and taught with great care lest we con fuse morality with Christianity and make it appear that men are justi fied before God by their good works rather than by their faith in Christ. I. Christ Fulfills the Law (5: 17-20). The law of God is eternal, never to be abrogated, never set aside. Christ Himself, although we might properly say that He was in reality the Law-giver and thus had power and authority over the law, indicat ed His purpose in coming to be that of giving the law its full meaning, not of destroying it. One could wish that those who profess- to be His servants might have the same measure of regard for God's law. If they did, they obviously would not be so ready to ignore it, so quick to change it or explain it away, and far more ready to accept with their Master every "jot and tittle," that is, even the minutest detail of His Word. Recognizing Christ as the fulfill ment of the law should prepare one to manifest obedience to every moral precept through His grace and by His strength. Certainly it should not lead anyone to lawless ness or carelessness regarding de tails of the daily walk. Fellowship with the Saviour should be revealed in consistent living (v. 20). II. Christ Explains the Law (5: 38-45). Look at verses 21 to 37. The spirit of murder is anger (vv. 21, 22). A lustful look is adultery (vv. 27-30), and it is better to be blind than to be guilty of it. Divorce is linked very plainly with adultery (vv. 31, 32). Swearing is forbidden (w. 33-37). Thus Christ strips out ward conformity to the law of its apparent virtue and reveals that with God it is the spirit that gives meaning to the act. He goes on to make plain that God alone is wise enough to take vengeance, that we ought never to retaliate with evil for evil. Note that verse 39 probably refers to an insult rather than to physical vio lence; that in verse 40 it is a ques tion of a difference of opinion in which the other man feels that he has a legal right to your coat; and that here, as in verses 41 and 42, it is not a matter of letting a wick'etf or scheming person defraud you of your rights or property, but rather of doing what is required of you in an ungrudging spirit and of being generous with others who are in need. In Christ we are to be like our heavenly Father and love our enemies (vv. 43-45). III. Christ Illustrates the Law (6: 1-4). v Possibly it would be more appro priate for us to say that Christ here illustrates the right (and the wrong way of fulfilling the law. How very clear He makes it that the one who, while ostensibly doing the will of God, actually is seekjng the recog nition and glory of men has received his full reward, for men have ap plauded his act of generosity. The transaction is complete and God has nothing to do with it at all. On the other hand, the one who gives in the spirit of Christ, not wanting men to know of his faithful stewardship (v. 4), and in fact making no reck oning of it himself (v. 3), may be certain that he has a heavenly Fa ther who takes careful account of the loving deeds of His children and who will reward him, both in this world and in the world to come.
