FRIDAY, JULY 28, 1922 NUMBER 30 OURWEEKLYSER “SECOND MILE RELIGION’ A Sermon Chas. C. Smith Text: Mat. 5:41, “Whosoever shall compel thee to go a mile, jro with him twain.” The principle set forth in these words of Jesus is the contrast be tween irksome duty and precious pri- vilepre. and the lesson th'it He would impress is that we should not keep our religion and our religious duties at the irreducible minimum, but that there should be in us an exper ience so full that it will overflow, and that our service should voluntari ly go far beyond that which is requir ed.

Often this would not suit his conven ience, and he would do the task -only because he was compelled to, and when he was let go he would gladly return home. But Jesus says. “Do not stop with-just what you are re quired to do; guide them just as much farther voluntarily as you have already been compelled to do.'"’ The fact of compulsion is still a dominant element in "human life, and everywhere we go we meet the “must” of this duty and that. And under this compulsion we may be in clined to rebel; but Jesus s:ays then by voluntary act do more tlian is re well-trained leaders in such activities, The Abingdon Conference is held every year in June.

There is no- the subjects in an interesting way. thing which so effectively overcomes Following is the proeram’: W, compuls^n as tlie spirit of voluntari ness. A small boy was told “by liis mother to go out and pick two quarts of blackberries, and lie started out to do so, much against liis wishes, but he must do so under Tiis mother^s com pulsion. On liis w'ay the thou'”’ ' ''r- cured to him t'hat "he would r'"’ ’ 'e his mother and piclc four quarts, and in the thought of tlie surprise Tie found mucli j'oy even in pickin'^ ' " first two quarts. In Teligion there are certain things whicli we IVTDST do if our obFiga- tions are to Ixe in tlie least met. and if we are to obtain any of its bene fits. Often we do tliem simply fi'om a sense of duty. Many a Sunday school teaclier Itolds »» to a class be cause lie feels that he ought to. Many a woman attends her mission ary society purel.v from a sense of duty. Leaders and officers do their taslcs simnly to satisfy '’onscience whicli win nut be eased unless they are done. "So many perform their religious duties just because they have back of them tbe Rompn soldier witb the drawn spear behind tbem nrgine tbem “on—compelling them. But they get no joy out of it; their religion is a burden to them; as soon as tbe compulsion, or tbe necessity, rig removed, tben turn back. But a religion of tbat kind is a joyless religion, affording neither its ixossess- cr. or others, any deligbt or pleas ure. • I But in religion all delight as well ! as a virtue is foxmd on the second j mile. There is no delight where fhere ! is necessity, and tbere is no ranture where tbere is compulsion: but wben ' the “must” fades into the “may;” j when duty glides into privilege: pnd i when necessity melts into deligbt;! then vou will find wbat a glorious ! and blessed tbing it is to bp on that FPcond mile. And, after all, that is the real test of religion—tbe extras that we are willing, or not willing, to do. Relieion’s test is found in ch« spint in which we go at it. This second mile religion has some great requirements before it can be exoerienced. First, tbe first mile MUST be traveled. The only v'ay to the second mile is over the first. The required things "MUST be done, and duty ever confronts us. Second, the right attitude towards duty. One need not wait until he reaches the second mile before he jrets its spirit. That may be bad on the first mile. If a *task is hard, put an extra turn to it just because it is hard. If you are ever to come to the second mile the first mu«5t be ^ramped with determination, cheer fulness, persistence, and in excess of the demand. In thaf spirit you are sure to find the second mile. The third requirement is you must have a real experience of God. It is ”ot only SECOND MILE religion, >*uf i<! pmphatically second mile RE- Tjniox. It takes a real meeting " ith God to bring us to the spirit of *^ie second mile. ‘T had walked life’s way with an easy tread; ' I had followed where pleasures and ' comforts led; Until one day in a quiet place, ^ met the Master face to face. “With station, and rank, and wealth for my goal.

W. T. Bossee called the meeting to order and stated that the object was not to condemn any individuals or enter into any personalities, but to try and see if there was not some | way in which the present power plant' could give efficient lights and power I for the town of Brevard. He called j for the nomination of a chairman and j secretary. Frank Jenkins was elect- i cd chairman and Wallis Galloway secretary. Mr. Welch Galoway made an ur gent plea for beter lights and a speedier handling of the repaii-s going on now at th& power plant. Mr. J. S.

C., July 24—The strike of railroad shopmen as a pro test to the heavy cut in wages propos ed by the Federal Railroad Labor Board has assumed a serioug aspect with all hope for a speedy settlement “gone a glimmering.” The shopmen contend that they have a nght to demand a sufficient wage to enable them to keep the wolf from the door and show no inclination to give up the fight. Here in Raleigh they seem confident of ultimately winning a settlement, notwithstanding the ar rival of a hundred or more men from outside the State to take their places. Local men declare that the imported workers are inccunpetent and are not disposed to attach very great impor tance to their presence here. On the whole, the offended shop men have gone about their business in an orderly manner. There have been slight disorders in Rocky Mount, Wilmington and one or two other places, but labor leaders disclaim re sponsibility for the acts of irrespon sible radicals and are as strong in their condemnation of lawlessness as anybody. The State administration ordered mi’itary guards to in^lv'v^ria^ ccnters where outbreaks were threat ened, but little has transpired to cause serious alarm and the soldier boys have merely been having a good time, while the battle raged in the newspapers between money and man hood. The administration point of view is to provide sufficient police power to enforce peace and permit the rail AUCTION SALE OF LAND A success! EASLEY, S.

She has ^ diversity of manufacture and agricul ture not matched by any other south ern commonwealth. She pays double the amount 6f any other state in Dixie in federal income taxes. She has a progressive government, a state wide system of good road? and a su perb outlay of public schools. No feature of progressive improvements has been omitted in her rise to the fo^. It is due much to the general state movement that her cities have grown so rapidly, for the advance ment of a state is bound to be most evident in her cities. It is well, therefore, that much of the time of our excursionists should be spent in the Tarheel state. She is only next door to us but North Carolina has many secrets of success that we have not yet mastered. It has been well said that North Caro lina is ricli in many things—but rich est in modesty. The Greenville men-. will doubtess find that to be tru3- They may inspire tihe Tarheelians to greater appreciation of their boun ties. The people of Greenville—those who are not going on this trip—are interested in it and hope for its cess because they are confident it will bring generoug dividends to the city. One can not visit any other city of like size without being inspir ed to adopt some of its good features. Out of the tour should grow a recog nition of the fact that Greenville has f merely laid the foundation for a great city and that there is much more work to be done in the future [j than has been done in th6 past. The News is confident that tlie men" who go on the tour will not only have a good time but a profit able time—profitable for the Greenville of tomorrow.—Greenville (S. C.) Xcws.
