Th? Will Man..
Read Matthew 2; 1-12,
In someunknown city of the East |
certain astrologers had been per
euaded . by their, study of Heaven
^that the appearance of a.,gteat Shin
ing Star would herald the Birth ef
a Great Kin|f, who phould bring de
liverance to a world steeped in sor
' row,^ Buffering tfnd sin. Toosure]
Y/ufi their conviction of the firuth'ofj
their Science, and so faithful were {
hearts to the caDL of RUch
" usnes#, that they were ready tp
t* htftr home and people, and
follow the leading of the Star until
titty found the King. Many must
haye mocked their errand as caravfcti
left the city' to', cross the Western
desert on its no+el quest. '
The Faith of the wise man held
on, Night by night , the Statr still
shone in the Western Heavens, and
. they shaped their daily course to
follow its guidance until they canje
to Jerusalem. Jerusalem was stir
red at Up coming. But their quest
was not ended yet* They arrived at
the place of- H^roA. " Wher^ is He
thaf is born King of the Jews? For
we have seen His Star in the Eastf
and are come to worship' Him."
. It was a further trial of their
& faith that they found themselves
guided to the little city of Bethle
hem. : It Was here, the Rabbi's said,
tfcat they w$mltfflnd the object of
ir search. So following the Star,
-> caravan stopped' ' before the
>1?me of Mary, and at the
of the Royal Child, the wise
bowed, offering their princely
.of gold and frankencense and
mgmssasB m
Infant Child, they should "recog
' the Majesty of the King Whom
'sought. Unknown by His own
people unrecognized by those among
whom He" dwelt, He was yet wel
hy those Eastern Sages, 'and
worshiped in the anas of the lowly
, 'Virrf'V
Their worship Was at once, a
* v prophecy and fulfilment will set a
crown upon the Imrg preparation
by which God hat silently led the
pagan . moved towards Himself and
it foreshadowed that- advocation of
the Incarnate which should one day,
in the' long porpsdes the Kingdoms
of His Child.
A PRAYER
"O . God, who irjf She leading of a
Star, diet .manifest Thy only begot
ten 'Son to the Gentiles mbrcifully
grant that 'we, which know Thee
> now by faith, may after this life,
have the ffjrition of Thy Glorious
God head through Jesus Christ, oar
Lord. x
O Jesus, Saviour of v the world,
Ught of the GentOoe, and Glory of
"Thy people Israd <on.- those who
know Thee not, these who are far
;. r^r<>m:the chureh of their fathers in
? 4 strange land, visit tffcem with Thy
Salvation. Hasten, we pray Thee,
Thy Kingdom that .t^e earth may be
? Iffled with the knowledge of Thy
SK dory as the waters cover the sea. -
??ay these, our prayers, be acceptJ
J; elile in thy sight, O Lord, our
strength, and oar Redeemer. Amen.

OUR RALEP
COMMUNICATION
Raleigh, N. C., Jan. 14. ? It was
"noised around"' following the ex
ceptions taken by <3f?v<*rnor Mor
rison to the statement given out by
Governor Doughton that the latter
did not appreciate the attitude of
His Excellency and had indicated *
t\is intention of resigning the office.
The Commissioner did not *ay aa
much , to the "newspaper boys, going
no further than to say that his
statement and the Budget Commis
sion's report spoke IJor themselves. .v'
But it required rto great effort -to
ascertain the feeling of disappoint
ment the j Governor's "exception"
brought to him. ?
?However, "all's ( well that ends
well," and the resignation of the
present Commissioner of Revenue^
is not likely tf> find its way to (the
executive office anyways soon. The
Governor makes the amends honor
able apd there is to be no explosion
in the official household ' on account
of this incident,. Bince Commissioner
Doughton accepts the graceful
apology from the Chief Executive
in good faith.
"If I have displeased you 'in<"j*nyv m
way, I am truly aorry, because , P.
fee that one of the best services I
have rendered the State ;was in per
suading you *to accept the office of" ,
Commissioner of Revehue," said the
Governor in His letter. toCommlB
sioner . Doughton r/ and -"I do not
thibk any man in North 'Carolina
could possibly be more acceptable
to the people than you" are. I'toi ^
sulw that I am about as proud of
your administration of you office as
anything else, connected ' with my ?
administration." . The Governor still
the report and he simpfy wantetf to
have those corrected. 'A
News of tiie sudden passing of
Solicitor Jiahies M. Carson, of the
Eighteenth Judicial District, cheated
a distinct surprise -h pre<' He was <
thought to be in robust health by
Iqaleign friends until- the message *
came ' announcing . his death inj a
Rutheford hospital on Tuesday, Jan. _
8th. On Wednesday evening, ^* few
hours after the remaincs found'. a;
final resting place in b. Rutherford
cemetery, Governor Morrison an- .q
nounced that he had filled the va
cancy by naming J. W. Pless, Jr.,.
of Marion, aa the successor of So
licitor-Carson. A delegateion from
Mraion arrived on Wednesday morn- v
ing Armed with endorsements for
Mr. Pless from the bars of Yaney,
McDowell and Bv^rke counties and
experienced little difficulty in secur
ing the coromfeaion for their candi- v'
date, whome they declared to lie
one of the best trained young men
for the position in his section of the
State. The district is compdscd of
the counties of Henderson, Mc- '
Dowell, Polk, Rutherford, Transyl
vania and Yancey. .
In 1913, he represented, ?with
Hon. ?. B. Allen, the^genatorial dis
trict, composed of Cleveland, Hen
derson, Polk,. rand Rutherford, coun
ties in Senate of North Caro
lina. Was elected a trustee of the
State University; later became
chairman of the democratic exe
cutive committee of the tenth ' con
gressional district and finally reach
ed the distinction he had long
sought, solicitor of his district, a
position his /father graced years be
fore.
The new solicitor may not be
widely known i n the western end
of t^e district, but it will require
much time time to get acquainted.
His distinguished father has prac
ticed in the courts of both Hender
son and Transylvania counties and
if/the young man is a REAL "chip
off the old block" law-breakers may
as well take to the woods and be
done with it.
J. W. Bailey, attorney of Raleigh,
has definately announced his decis
ion to be a canrlidate for the Dem- ,
odratic trubernatoril nomination at
the primary in June of th-!s year,
stating in a letter to State Chair
man John'G. Dawson, of the Demo
cratic exicutive ronn/.ittoe. thnt on
January 17 he will mr.ke public the
plitform on which ho would stand
in his race.
