OUR RALEIGH
COMMUNICATION
RALEIGH, X. C, March 19.
Tho General Assembly adjourned two
weeks a.iro. but th0 folks are still
talkin.tr about it. All are agreed that
stands in a class to itself. None
would undertake to attribute to it
any particular accomplishment, yet
it did some big things for the State.
There was no lookup back, even when
Corporation Commissioner Maxwell
toosed a bomb into the cam) which J
resulted -in the institution of an inves
titration into the State's fiscal policy.
This is still n progress with prospects
of a report early next month.
Fifteen millions of road bonds
were authorized before the question
of deficit was raised by Mr. Maxwell
and met with little opposition.
$20, C'7. ."(( in bonds for various
purposes were voted by the Assem
bly after the question of the State's
abilty to pay wasraised. A toal of
$3."). )ii7,"i00 was thus provided for
roads, railroads and permanent im
provemonts at a number of State in
stitution. It was argued that the
wheel of proirress must not be check
d and suggestions of "pay as you
go" fell on deaf ears. "Boys, got the
money" was the silent slogan as
bond issue after bond issue received
approval at the hands of the people's
representatives. And the money will
he provide, in some way, for North
Carolina is a great State.
Ot
uiary 1, 102.'1. the bonded in
debteii'v.'ss of the State was 2,184.

'The iv were investigations galore '
and not one of them has so far j
amounted to anything serious. Not
a single charge against the Depart
ment of Labor and Printing was sus
tained. On the contrary, the Depart !
nicnt came out stronger than before :
and w
ith an additional bureau added
to it.
The committee to invertigate the
State Sanatorium has not completed
its work, nor has the committee select
ed to investigate the condition of the
State treasury.
The specal commission to look into

State owned ships will repent its
findings sometime next summer. If
favorable, the Governor has let it
be known that he will convene the
General Assembly in extraordinary
session to consider plans to be of
fered in "furtherance" of the
scheme.
So tlie future is pregnant with
possibilities and other things.

Corinthians, as he writes them soma.
time after his visit to them.
.ot only
among them, but among all others,
tlie Cross of Christ was the One
thing that was dominant in Paul's
mind ami his preaching. Among the
Cahitians his only giory was in thai
cross. Again he says, "The Cross is
the power of God and the wisdom
of Cod." It was his desire to be
made comfortable to the death of
Jestr. that death on the Cross. He
delermined that Je-us nd His Cros
were to be central in !:is prea hing

! THIS. ,
Men were estranged from God.
they avoided Him, they believed that
II e was eternally against them, so
they became haters of God. Only in
, tne lite and dead! ot Jesus count
1 men ever become convinced that
God is not against them, but that He
loves them and that He is on their
side. Only in being thus convinced
could man ever be reconciled to God,
only thus could he be induced to put
away his feeling of fear and believe
that God really cares for him.
First, the LIFE of Jesus served
to make men know that God was
sympathetic with them, and that He
had a friendly feeling for them. The
whole f e life of Jesus is a story
of love. From beginning to end we
see Him thinking, not of Himself, but
of others. "The Son of Man came
not to b0 ministtired unto, but to
minister." These, a v. 1 like words,
and what is back of them get behind
all of the sinner's defences. Sin is
powerless to maintain itself against
a love that ever give way in behalf
of others.
There is one a;-peat of His love
which has supreme power m con
