THURSDAY, APRIL 25, 1940 THE FRANKLIN PRESS AND THE HIGHLANDS MACON IAN PAGE SEVEN Third Term Becomes Live Issue In North Car. Politics Improved Uniform International SUNDAY SCHOOL : LESSON-: By HAROLD L. LUNDQUIST, D. D. Dean of The Moody Bible Institute of Chicago. (Released by Western Newspaper Union.) Lesson for April 28 Lesson subjects and Scripture texts se lected and copyrighted by International Council of Religious Education; used by permission. ISAIAH COMFORTS AN AFFLICTED PEOPLE LESSON TEXT Isaiah 40:1-11. GOLDEN TEXT God Is our refuge and strength, a very present help In trouble. Psalm 46:1. "Comfort ye. comfort ye my people, saith the Lord," knowing ai He alone can the great heart sob of sorrow, pain, and disappointment which, arises to Him from His people everywhere. No study of God's Word which omits His tended word of comfort is in any sense com plete. No teacher or preacher who fails to bring that message to his people is declaring the full counsel of God. No more appropriate pas sage could be chosen for presenting that truth than Isaiah 40. The prophet spoke to a people who were experiencing the bitter treat merit of their enemies. They were facing the devastation of their coun try and the deportation of its people into captivity. In such a desperate day one might say that there could be no true word of comfort, but there Was, and that word may well encourage us to look up in this our confusing day. The Comforter of Israel is ready to be our comforter. I. The Source of Comfort (vv. 1-5). "God is our refuge and strength" (Ps. 46:1). "Behold your God" (Isa. 40:9). "Comfort ye, saith your God" (v. 1). He is "the God of all com fort" (II Cor. 1 : 3). The astonishing thing is that mankind is so prone to seek comfort elsewhere, turning to God only when everything else fails rather than going to Him first of all. His comfort Is abiding, for it rests on a removal of the source of all pain and Sorrow, namely sin. The day of Judah's comfort is to come When her "iniquity Is pardoned" (v. 2). That is also the first step for us to take in seeking comfort, to repent and forsake our sin, seek ing pardon in Christ The one Who brings us God's com fort Is Jesus Christ Verses 3 to 5 speak of His coming. John the Bap tist was the voice and it was Jesus for whom the way was to be pre pared (see Luke 3:4-6). Jesus is the Lord Jehovah, God Himself, the Son Of God, and the bringer of God's comfort to men's troubled hearts. It is He who is revealed in this pas sage in all of His glory and grace. II. The Need of Comfort (w. 6-8). Man thinks he is great wise, pow erful and able to take care of him self. William Henley expressed it in his "Invlctus," "I am the master of my fate, I am the captaia of my souL" But God says, "Man is as grass," and declares that when "the spirit of the Lord bloweth" on him he fades and withers. We know that God's witness is true. Boast as he will in the hour of prosperity -and strength, man knows in his heart that when he faces the real Issues of life he is utterly impotent, needy and undone. Gerald Massey spoke more truly than William Henley when he said, "Surrounded by unnumbered foes Against my soul the battle goes!" The man who has coma to the end of himself and who realises that there is neither in him nor in his fellow mortals the strength to meet life's struggles is ready for the min istry of God In Christ, forgiving, cleansing, strengthening and com forting. He has come to realize that "the grass withereth, the flower fad eth, but the word of our God shall stand forever" (v. 8). III. The Way or Comfort (w. 9-11). Good tidings were proclaimed even In that dark hour of Judah's history. We have good tidings for our day as welL Let us declare them from the mountalntops. Lift up your voice with strength and do not be afraid I Here Is something to shout about, "Behold your God!" 1 The prophet's holy enthusiasm had two excellent grounds. First, he tells us that God is strong. He "will come with strong hand, and his arm shall rule for him." Here is com fort with assurance because God Is strong. He is also loving and ten der. His strong arm Is used to gath er the lambs to His bosom and to tenderly lead His sheep. Gentleness is the attribute not of weakness but of strength. God's strong men and women are His gentlemen and gen tlewomen. They, like their Lord, are loving and kind, using their strength not to destroy or to Impress others, but to help the weak, to bring com fort in the name of Christ Faith of the Future The faith of the future, like the faith of the present and the faith of the past will in its essence be sim ple. It will be faith in the goodness of things faith that the world Is governed for good. Sir Francis Younghusband. Ninety-eight per cent of all the baseball psti arc made of lihe. Huey's- Stand For Hull Meets Widespread Approval It is not clear yet whether North Carolina will have a divided dele gation to the Democratic national convention hut (Viv Hnpv's de claring himself for Secretary , of state nun may unng tnis anout. In his statement last week the gov ernor said that he did .not believe that President Roosevelt would run and rpnupsted that the North Carolina delegation should cast its first 'ballot for Hull, and not for himself, as has been the avowed plan of those who favor a third term for President Rdosevelt, Widespread Approval Governor Hoey has declined com ment since he issued his statement Thursday, but said last Saturday that the response to his stand was "one of the largest .1 have received on any action I have taken as Governor." All the letters and telegrams he has received, Hoey" said, praised his action. Some of them, he add ed came from other states. "I was surprised to find some letters from strong Roosevelt men," he said. Gov. Hoey's statement followed the organization of a "North Caro lina tar Roosevelt" movement by a orniin of Democratic leaders. Thp aim of the organization was to have this state's 26 votes in the Democratic national convention cast for Gov.' Hoey on the first ballot and for Mr. liopsevelt oh all subsequent ballots. Governor Silent . j. The Governor declined comment as to what action, if any, he plan ned to take regarding control of the delegation. . .It was generally understood,1 before the Roosevelt movement was announced unex pectedly last Sunday, that Gover nor Hoey would have control of the delegation without any contest. The Governor has also remained silent on Secretary of State Hull's statement that he was not a candi date for any political office. Position Differ Little Several members' of the "North Carolina for Roosevelt" organiza tion sai'd there was really little dif ference between their position and w nf (rfwernor Hoey. Many members of their organization, they said, would be ior nun, Hrovrlt decided not to run. Gov ernor Hoey, they pointed out, was on record as saying: "It is generally conceded mat a President Roosevelt is a candidate he will be nominated on the first ballot and probably without opposi tion." Candidates Non-Committal Ma-iV, rarolina candidates for governor are as non-committal about the third term issue as i res ident Roosevelt himself. . lWniK- comment aroused on all h thp nresidential develop ments, the candidates for Gover nor made it plain they do not in-t-nA tr heroine mixed up in any such fight. "I'm running for Gov not nrpsident." one of them said, and that answer just about sums up the attitude ot tne omcrs. Communications S T. Kelsey Dies In Los Angeles 3937 38th Avenue w.

McKinney The following letter comes from the secretary of the North Caro lina Historical Commission: Raleigh, N. C ..' April 17, 1940 Mrs. J. W. Cantey Johnson, Franklin, N. C. The recently published Final Re port of the United States De Soto Expedition Commission, House Document No; 71, 76th Congress, 1st Session, seems . to settle the long-mooted question of whether De Soto and his , party passed through the . present territory of North Carolina. According to this report, he passed either through or near the town of Highlands, and went through both Franklin and Murphy.: It , seems that not only can the route be plotted, but even that the exact dates when the party stopped at" various points can be ascertained. The date that De Soto was at Franklin is given as May 26, 1540 (old style), and the exact dates when he was at other points in Western North Carolina are also available: At a meeting a few days ago, the Executive Committee on" Historical Markers voted to mark the route De Soto followed in North Caro lina. All of the inscriptions will have to be approved by Dr. J. R Swanton of the Smithsonian Insti tution, who headed the commission making the report. Securing Dr Swanton's approval will result in some delay, and probably the markers will not be ready for a good many weeks, or even months. This march of De Soto's was one of. the most, important events in all the history of North Carolina. Within the past few years S'r Walter Raleigh's efforts to colonize Roanoke Island have received a great deal o,f attention, but De Soto made his expedition almost half a century earlier within less than 50 vears after Columbus had discovered the New World. In view of the great significance of this event, and in view of the fact that this year marks its four hundredth anniversary, I am wondr ering whether Western North Car olina will not wish to stage some kind of celebration, especially in the towns along De Soto's route. The North Carolina Historical Commission will be glad to assist in every way possible in whatever is done along this line. . With best wishes, I am Yours - sincerely,- C. C. Crittenden, Sec. New Truck For Minerals Inc. Minerals Incorporated, has ac quired a new half-ton Chevrolet truck recently. Increasing out-of-town business demands the new truck for quick service as well as for local hauling. This is one of Franklin's new enterprises that has shown marked growth during the past year. Ellis C. Soper has' developed the newv insulating product, Vercalite, derived from the non-metallic min eral, vermiculate, and is marketing it in several forms for different uses in industrial and domestic building, CONTRAST During the period, from 1929 to 1932, industry reduced its produc tion 59 per cent, while farm pro duction, on the other hand, d,e" creased only 6 per cent in the same period.
