Diocese of Western North Caro
lina q if , the Rrotestant Episcopal
Church, held in Aaheviile, the ap
plication of St. Philips', Brevard,
to be. advanced from' a Mission to a
Parish, was acted upon favorably,
and, at that time ?5t. Philips' was
admitted as & Parish with full
rights, and the delegates given
Kits in the Convent'on with ail
ting privileges. The delegates
representing St. Philips' were :
W. E. Rreese, J. S. Bromfleld, and
D. Q. Ward.
I 'The advancing of St Philips' to a
Parish means that it now has full
Parochial rights in the matter of
self government, altho' still under
tjhe -jurisdiction of the' much belov
ed Bishop of . Western North Caro
lina, the Rt. Rev. Junius M. Homer,
the Bame as other full parishes arc.
i The Vestry of St. Philips', now
functioning,' with ^stated meetings
on the first Thur8&a^-?jr9j\ing of.
oach month, consists of: Dr. W. 3.
Wallis, Senior Warden,; G! E. La
throp, Junior Warden; H. V. Smed
berg, Treasurer; D. G. Ward, Clerk;
W. E. Breesc, J. S. Broomfleld, J.
E. Bell. 1
At It recent meeting of the Ves
try- the standing "committees for the
current year were appointed, and,
among other things,, planned it is'
Bxpected that a suhstanital improve
ment to the church property in the
way of a nucleus of the much-need
ed Parish House, will be under way
In 1924.
It is expected that the Rector of
Bt. Philips' Rev. J. C. Seagle, who
has enjoyed a much needed vaca
tion on the Pacific Coast will, return
at an early date. During Mr. Sea
ttle's absence Bishop J. M. Horner,
and , Archdeacon J. H. Griffith have
filled the pulpit Of St. Philips'.. Mr.
G. E. Lathrop, . Lay Leader, also
conducted our service. On Sun
fay last the Rev. A. H. Stbbbs,
venerable Treasurer of the Dioccse,
conducted the < morning service.
While in ? Brevard the Rev. Mr.
Stubbs was the guest of Rev. C. D.

VISITOR URGES GOLF COURSE;
FOR BREVARD
? ? . . (
iMr. E. |H. Ward, of New York,
was a guest during: last week of his
brother D. H. Ward, and while here ;
accepted an invitation to visit some .
of: the sites proposed as a golf- |
course' in and around Brevard. Mr. |
Ward is an enthusiastic golfer, h's :
experience having been on a great
many of the famous golf-courses as
his duties as representative of the
Western Union Telegraph Com
pany cause him .to visit practically
every section of the United States.
Mr. Ward's, t'me in Brevard was
very limited^ and while he could not
visit all of the proposed golf-sites,
he was able to see several of them
and although; not praising any one
location .above another due to lack
of time ' for proper inspection, he
did say that unquestionably this
Immediate section can furn'sh a lo
cation fear a very excellent golf
course, and urged that by all means
It be done as it was his belief that
such an attraction would bring a
large number of a substantial type
of visitors who are now drawn to
other sections through the location
of golf-courses.

THE PRAYER CORNER
Tb? dignity of Work
? ? / -
.All workers can claim the sym
pathy of one who h$s for years
known the conditions of a work? I
mans life of unremitting toil, and I
straitened means. The experience I
of Jesus shows how man may es- 1
cape from the limitations and re- 1
strainte which a lonfc stress of man
ual work may easily place upon
the full development of all the
higher faculties of the soul. In the
monotony and fatigue of work, it is
easy to lose the higher ideals; to
forget the fellowship of God, and
to miss the refining grace of Spirit
ual inspiration.
But the experience of Jesus shows I
how the inward vision may always
inspire the long monotony of man
ual work. We can learn from Him
how possible it is for the soul to I
retain its quick and tender seiisa- 1
tiveness to spiritual things, even
through the frequent strain of I
physical fatigue.
It is true that in His work at]
Nazeireth, Jesus was never con- 1
fronted with those difficult cond:
tior)sand complex problems, sociil, I
economic, _ and industr'al, which {
confront us fa^e organized life of |
labor today. BuT^>^?<?Sftwn site- 1
pie devotion to duty in theESwn
ters shop, He has for all time
vealed the dignity of work, has P
hissed its sacrifice and hallowed
its suffering, while He lifted it up
before the eyes of men as a voca- 1
tion, in which the holiest may learn I
$he needed lessons of discipline and I
obedience and may make happy ant1 J
ttrue response to the call of Ou~|
Heavenly Father. Whatever be the
conditions of our work to day, that I
wotk will prove our sanctlflcation. |
if it be touched with the spirit of I
Jesus, the Carpenter of Nazareth.
? ?
O Thou, w)*o hast said.'^My faUKj
ir v/orktfh hitherto . andf I work"'
All workers can claim Thy sympa
thy, who for thirty years, knew the
conditions of a workman.!1 life of
unremitting toll aiid strJitene-'
moans. In the monotony and, fa
tigpe of work, wo 'Ttncwrr how eaSv
ittia to lose the higher Ideals, t^
forget, the fellowship of God, ant*
to m'ss the refin'ng mce of snirit
u^l insp ration. Jot, we can learn
frtm Thee how possible it is for the
soul to retain its quick and tender
sensativeness to spiritual things. In
Thine own' simple devotion to duty
in the Carpenters shop, Thou hast ?
?#>r all time .revshled the d.'gn'ty'
of work; hast blessed its sacrifice :
and hallpwed its r.ufferin?, while
Thou hast lifted it up in the eyes
of men as a vocation in which the
lowliest may. claimt the needlessness
of discipline and obedience and may
make- happy and true response to
the call of our Heavenly Father.
Whatever may be the condition
of our work to day, - touch it, we
""ay Thee wth Thy Spirit. O Jesus,
Thou Carpenter of Nazareth, and
our work will prove our sanctifico
tion, if s sacrifice will be blessed,
and its buffering hollowed, and then
we ask that we may know Thee,
and our work in Thee. Amen.

* STATE SPELLING CONTEST.
At the district spelling contest
hold in Asheville last fall, two of
the Transylvania children qualified
for the state contest, which will be
held in Raleigh March 12. ( The
children were Edna Mason of Bre
vard school, and Harry Hawley of
Davidson River school. A letter
from Julo B. Warren, Sec. of 'he
\orth Carolina Education Associa
t'on, to the County Superintendent
stated 'hat there are no funds fo
the free transportation of these chil
dren to the state meeting, but thn'
he bel:cves that the people in th<*
communities of the schools repre
sented by these children will havn
enough interest in the contes: and
enough pride in the children to see
that they fret to Raleigh. The'

BUSINESS GETTING BETTER. !

business was slack and , the mer
chants were busy taking stock. '
There has' been a decided .change
dur'ng the past week and "~~many

large amount of job work and book 1
printing to get out of the way be- '
fore the March, April and May (

which usually comes in. We have 1
added some new printing equip- )
ment and had timo to repair, ^e- '?

up. 1
Political Y car. I
This is a political year and as us- 1
ual both parties will have fa:r play <
In regard to the use of these col- i
umns. All. candidates must pay 1
cash at a very reasonable price for 1
(any announcement. No political 1
talks will be accepted unless uhder I

We hope that Transylvania will 1
have a good, clean, fair and open <
fight in the coming political battle. <
Both parties must hold a primary i

will be conventions in order to
smooth out the little family quar- (

JUST COMMON SENSE
?'* *?.' \
Wc read in all papers, either
large or medium, statements and
r.uditor's reports of the condition
Df Institutions, States and Munici
palities. In fact the law directs
that ccrtain reports shall be pub
lished. For instance the wonder
ful financial report made by the
sounty recently. It made the peo
ple realize where the money went
and they were astounded and de
lighted to see real high financing
done in such a splendid and eco
nomical way. It made them feel
more like paying their little mite
for the mighty protection and vast
possessions they were accumulating
is a unit.
Brevard has rather grown, put of
the hab't of telling the folks about
their finances through a knowledge
that everything is running smoothly
ind that it is really a useless an<*
foolish expense at any time.
However, wherever a people pay i
taxes they are entitled to know just
is a matter of curiosity how much
money is received and spent, what i
improvements made, etc. There is
nothing political about these state i
ments " But yet the most of us arc
too weary to care a hurrah ? No
fiddled' while Rome burned. W c i
fxave a sp'lendid government, bu*
why evade the --law? h
