THE BREVARD NEWS, BREVAI?D, NORTH ^ROLINA. FRIDAY, OCTOBER tO, 1922 OUR WEEEY SERMON THE THIRD COMMANDMENT line—i,a.v;e— , Iij -^c jforth ch Idren <^i (Set for last week) (By CHAS. C. SMITH) “Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord in vain; for the l ord will not hold guiltless ;hat takerh His name in ain.” Solan"i words ar:.' these, and tmy at oi. e arrest our attention, cau'sius; us tt pau^e and think. What doos i<^ ne^.n? M-j fiiSt commanc'.ne it teac as '’hem wo are t worship; +ha se end hcv v.e are . wovsaip Him. The ihirj debars all ir inceiity in thi. rvjiaiion; and therefore > rohi)>Hs <ill hypocrisy in religion In coaiinp into relu-ion with God as His chik.r -n we Hi.^ name as >ur o vn, : we h ar the ; 'me of o We rre . j t; 'cc to I ko it h.'i* *• ti' u il lli.i .. W-.a purpose, or puri>oselcv..si^. in the Or iental world and among primitive peo pie everywhere one’s name stands for his personality, and the right to bear one’s name is a proof of intimate re lation, if not of actual union wifh him. When an honored man in a com munity marries, his wife takes his name for her own, and she is suppos ed so to live as to bring additional honor to the name of her husband. She took his name to honor it. If she so lives as to bring that name into disrepute, she then fails to honor it, thus taking it in va!n. When Israel inlered into covenant relations with Jehovah, they TOOK His name upon themselves, henccforth to be known as the children of Jehovah, and they were to bear that name in all rever ence and sincerity, anj to bear it in such a way as to bring honor upon it among the strange peoples in whose midst they were to live. I. THE NAME OF GOD. God re vealed Himself under certain names and by these names He intended to rival certain traits of His character. The various names under which He revealed Himself, the mighty Creator, the All Powerful One, the God All Sufficient; and the various compound names of Jehovah, like Jehovah-Jireh, the Lord will provide. As Jehovah is the great name of God in the Old Tes tament, so Jesus is the GREAT name by which He reveals Himself to us of this day, and all that God is is gather ed up in that name that is to be above all named. II. TAKING THE NAME OF GOD. In becoming His children we take His name, and we are called children. Three meanings scholais tell us are -included in the word “take.” First, to assume. In assuming His name we become children, and as children w'e take His name to obey Him and to do His will. Second, it means to “lift up,” as a banner. Here we take it to be Christian soldiers, or good citizens and we lift it up in waging a warfare in His name against civic and social unrighteousness. Third, it means to “bear.” Bear it—take it—to others seeking to win them to Christ. Here we are ambassadors. We take this name in a very spe cial way in our baptism, for it is then that we publicly take our stand for Him, and henceforth we are known as Christians. We are baptized into the likeness of His death. “If we are united with Him in the likeness of His death, we shall be also in the likeness of His resurrection.” III. TAKING HIS NAME IN VAIN. Our Lord taught us to pray, “hallowed be Thy name,” and this is the opposite of taking that name in vain. As children we hallow His name in obedience. It is taken in x’ain when His professed children live in disobedience. As Christian soldiers His name is hallowed in our ag^essive warfare against evil. It is nfted up in vain when there are kno\tn evils in a com munity and the Christian citizen does nothing by voice or vote to put them out. As ambassadors for Jesus we hal low His name when we win souls to Him. We bear His name honorably when w^e take it to those in the ene my’s r.ountrv. We bea' it in vain when v;^ s't 1 Vy by and never seek to win ir ' ows to the favorable consideration os our RiBg. Let us be obedient children; val iant soldier: and aggresive citizens, and testify ng ambassadors. Thus do we hallow His name, and thus are we saved from assuming it, lifting it up, or bearing it, in vain. IV. THE WARNING. “The Lord will not hold him guiltless that taketh His name in vain.” The Hebrew word here means “clean.” The Lord will not hold him clean,” etc. One is clean or unclean as he uses the name of God for truth or for vanity. If by godlessness, ddsobedience, or hy pocrisy, you take that name in vain, then 7^1 are responsible. Being re spond! ..*e you must bear the conse quences, whatever they may be. Being gu”'y how eon you bo held guitless by the one who r' , thru all shams £.::d who is th? Cc- of truth? The only way to 1 e held guiltless '*'* to be made clean bq taking—As suming—that name, 1 lie name of Je sus. through acceptai ce of His aton- ' , tlcod which “cl( ansith from all and to take it in all sincerity and truth. T^.IE BOARD Of HEALTH RE MEMBERS TRAfclSYLVANIA COUI^Y 1 . r ’ h for The Si ate Board of Health, being (If^iTOiis 'if contributing to the wel- i" of ’ tie children of Transylvania -cu.'ity f ,'nt Dr. ./Oe O.sborne, i-tate Don^^i t, to Transylvania county on Auf,ast 15, and pei’mitted him to re- m.ii hir.‘ until October 1. Dr. Os- l 1' liad a very llmiied time to cov- Iho .',3 eat field of work in Tran- V nia, and thus it was impossible ’iin i.0 reach all the schools of > u !ly as he would like to have ;r \ as the undersigned had th it wou’d Lave been impos- I. V() d'^ u- . u^^lng the time . Di. Obb rue Jih i .ii'Oi-cem him the work, he was able to meet with the patrons and children in some of the largest school centers of the county. As a result of his meeting anj a most hearty co-operation ex tended to him in the various dis tricts in which his time permitted him CO po, ho rendered service to Tran sylvania county as follows: Total number of children examin er for dental treatment, 512; total number of children treated, 512; 515 amalgam fillings were placed; J 50 ce ment fillings; 22 guttapercha; 136 silver nitrate treatments; 15 abscess es treated; 2298 teeth extracted; 512 children’s teeth cleaned; 12 misc* lanous treatments; 33 children were referred to the local dentists for treatment; 11 lectures were deliver ed on hygiene. Some of thp schools in which Dr. Osborne was able to work are as fol lows : Lake Toxaway, Rosman, Brevard, Pisgah Forest, Penrose and Blantyre. A number of other schools would have been reached had his allotted time permitted. A conservative es timate of the total cost of the work done by Dr. Osborne, it it had been done in a private office, would have amounted to $2,006.00., and the par ents and children would have had to have paid such a sum to a dentist had the State of North Carolina not done the work free of cost to those who received it. The work which Dr. Osborne did in this county has been very much appreciated as indicated to the under signed by those who were able to bene lit from the short time v/hich he was permitted to stay with us. Dr. Osborne says in a letter to the undersigned: “I wish to ' thank you very much for your kindness to me and I assure you that it was a great pleasure for me to be with you, and I thoroughly enjoyed every min ute I had with you in your office, and I am sure Dr. Cooper appreciates the interest you gave the clinics.” It is hoped that some time ere long the State Board of Health will give us other clinics equally as good as the one that we have just had. I am hoping that it will be possible for us to have a dentist sent u.-', a clin ic at each and every school in this county so that the little children may have their teeth properly cared for and given such instructions as will aid them in preserving their teeth as long as th^'y live.

Telephone No. 1 Brevard, N. C. LYCEUM COURSE: The Razonx Reynolds Company will make its premier appearance at the Brevard High School Auditorium November 1, Wednesday evening at 8 o’clock. Magic dates back to the ancient Egyptians, Babylonians and Greeks, but in its present form of Legerde main it makes an adroit appeal to the curiosity of both young and old. Magic is one of the world’s oldest ^ortiis of amusi:i;ienl and was the chief source of entertainment to the Ancients. With thje Greeks and Ro mans it reached a high stage of mani pulation and was Accredited to the Deity, Hecate, who was regarded as the moon Goddess of midnight phan toms. Heretofore magic has been dealt with almost exclusively from the delusive angle, but traced to its source by scientific analysists it has proven a fertale field of knowledge. Tlv' ~‘azoux - Reynolds Company, who -^oon to appear as one of the numl'crs the local Piedmont Ly ceum Course, are exceptionally clever ' * > effort to deceive is made through uims of super-natural powers, but lany bewildering and ludicrous situ- ..tions keep the audience in rapt at tention. Monologues, impersonations and humorous readings lend variety to the program. Horns sounding from the hill tops at night. Hounds howling. 'Possum.
