' NEEDED FIRE PROTECTION: The hit- of V'ednesday morning one of the greatest conflagat ioiis ..er known in Brevard and ir was only due to the lack of wind and the heroic efforts of the volunteer fire fighters that saved many more thous ands of collars worth of property go ing up ;n smoke. Scleral things were demonstrated: The r.eed of a greater water pres sure. New. suitable and up-to-date hose lozzles and equipment suitable to ...'no the needed stream. The enforcement of ''.aw against stables in . Ji.-trict. that desire in all. Young people are going to find amusement even tho it may be the wrong kind. Churches should provide wholesome amuse ment for their young people, and un less they do they may expect them to find them elsewhere, and, perhaps, under influences that are far from wholesome. The whole philosophy of amuse ments is found in the one word, rec reation. Man is a three-fold being, physical, mental and spiritual. Amuse ments should recreate man in all parts of his being, and no kind of amuse ment should be engaged in that tears him down in any one or more of the three parts of his being. That a musemcnt is not legitimate which builds up the body and injures the mind or tho spiritual life. The question, "What shall my a niusements be." may be settled ae cording to four principles set down in the Word of God, which is the stand ard of authority for the norma Chris tian. L 1)0 ALL THINGS FOR THE GLORY OF GOD. This is the first nrinciple, and is given in I cor. 10:31 : "Whatsoever ye do, do all for the rlory of God." Many do things, or refrain from doing them, for the glory of their breadth of mind. Every voung church member that I have L'ver talked with about dancing, and who en traced in it himself, spoke of denomination, or of the whole Chris tian world. Of course God COULD give such a person a revelation dif ferent from that others think they have received from Him, but such is not His usual way of doing. This is self - conceit, and that has never been known to build up. 'Is it lawful?" "Is it becoming?" "Is it profitable?" If these three questions can be hon estly answered in the affirmative in regard to an amusement then it may safely be inferred that it will edify. IV. WILL ITS INFLUENCE BE HARMFUL? Again we go to the Scripture for the statement of the principle. I Cor. 8:13: "Where fore if eating mejjt make my brother to stumble, I will eat no flesh while the world standeth, lest I make, my brother to stumble." Carlton says, "The truly great consider first how they may gain the approbation of God .m.l, secondly, that of their own con science; and having done these they will willingly conciliate the good opin Jon of their fellow men." How careful should the Christian be that his influence should have a Christian tendency. Ht. should guard with great jealousy his influen ce so that what he says may not be drowned by the noise of what he js. A young woman believed that it was all right for a church member to dance, and replied in tht. affirmative to one who. remonstrating witn her.

OUR WEEKLY SERMON "YOUNG PEOPLE AND THE QUES TION OF AMUSEMENTS. t'Py Rev. ('has. C. Smith) part of the 1 Hh verse of tho i'sa.lm "will serve as the text for sermon: "At thy right hand are pleasures forever more. A 1 tith th"; s dr.1 re The question of amusements for '.hrisuan young people is about as ld H-s christianitv itself. It is very k'gi Urn mate for the Christian to ask sav. narrow", and regretted that all are i not broad enougn to see it as tney !lo!" Man's chief end 's Verify I God, and every Christian ought al 1 ways so to liv(. as to fulfill thtit high ! destiny. This ought to be the gov J erning principle of every life, and ' the great standard by which all things should be settled. Only those forms ! of amusement that build up mentally, physically and spiritually should be engaged in, for one that injures one j of God's children spiritually is far 'from glorifying Him. ! II. LEAVE OFF A LI j THINGS. That is to should be engaged in that one has ! doubts about. This principle we find ; in Rom. 14:2": "He that doubteth : is condemned if h0 eat, because he eateth not of faith; and whatsoever is not of faith is sin." A person said that he was engaging occasionally in , a certain form of amusement, and discovered that every time he started in for this that he was arguing with himself t0 convince himself that it was right. He concluded that any thing about which he had to argue with himself he had better leave off. j III. HAS IT THE POWER TO ! BUILD UP? 1 Cor. 10:23: "All ! hings are lawful for me, but all things : edify not." That is they do not build j up. The nioi',. I observe church j members the more am I convinced ! that all thi" use the average one has for Christianity is simply to i take him to heaven when he dies. The i most seem never to think that it is a power that can build them up, and a j great for.-e that will enable them to i build up others around them. They ; want t live at that irreducible mini mum in their religious lives that will allow them to do almost ;rnything just so they are saved at last. Somc ! of these often say, "If I never do : anything worse than dancing, (rr name something else), then I won't ! miss heaven on that account." Others I have a right to do this."

And she was chagrinned to hear him ask, "Then what are you doing here?" Every question regarding amuse ments can be settled by these four principles, and they should be honest ly applied by every Christian. If the Christian's attitude toward God js that of full surrender he will have no trouble as to his amusements. The surrendered one never asks if there is j any harm in it. The surrendered one I never contends for his personal rights, j The highest joy comes from giving up I one's own rights. The deepest peace ; comes from a voluntary yielding of; personal preferences and privileges. This is Christ like, for, "even Christ , pleased not himself." One who is ' thus Christ like dwells in God's pre-' sence htei'e is fulness of joy; and at s iK-e there is fulness of jay; and at thy right hand there are pleasures tor evermore. DONT FORGET THAT PLUMMER COBLE'S SALE BEGINS SATUR DAY, DECEMBER 13. REPORT OF THE CONDITION OF BREVARD BANKING CO. Ac Brevard, N. ('., in the county of The buying habits of the people of Brevard changed when they discovered it was unnecessary to pay more. The expression of public approval was recorded by the sales in Jerome & Pushell's Department Store, which resulted in the largest business of any in town. We want you to know how much we appreciate your generous patronage. Jerome & usl sv.th a question, an( the matter is of much more importance than is usual ly thought. There are some amuse ments that all agree are all right for th" Christian; while there are others never think that they should act in such ways as will tend to build up and strengthen the church to which they belong. Such a course is selffish, and sel- th it all agree are wrong for the Christ fishness never builds up. Then there iar ; while there are others that some think ail right, and others condemn thorn. These are usually called "JUiruer-Line Amusements", and they belong in the doubtful class. "Now Godhas meant that people .4-n-h e amused, and He implanted is a loss of wise Christian modesty. When the church to which one belongs condemns certain forms of amuse ments then it is far from modest for one wno a very young and inex- Transylvania, at the close of December 2'J, 1922 Resources Loans and Discounts Demand Loans ....
