THE
ELEVENTH COMMANDMENT
John 13:34-85 ,
RED CROSS SUNDAY, Nov. 8tJ?
One evening a stranger knocked at
1.he door of the manse of the
Samuel Rutherford, the great re ig
ious oracle of the Covenantors ?n
tueir adherents, and begged shel
for the night. The minister kindly
received him, and asked him to ta
his place amongst the "family and a -
sist at their religious exercises. ? .
???? catechising the children and ser
vants at the time. -
. It so happened that the {lucstJ?1?
In the catechism which came to tn
strangers turn was: "How many
Commandments are there? He ans
wered, "Eleven." "Eleven," .exclaim
ed Rutherford, "I am surprised that
a person of your age an appearanc
should not know better. What do y?
?n mean?" , 1
He answered: "A new command
ment I give unto you, that ye love
one another. As I have loved yo ?
that ye also love one another.
this shall all men know that ye are
my disciples, if ye have love one
another."' i
Rutherford was much impressed by
the answer, and they retired to res .
The next morning he rose earIX
. meditate on the services of the day
On his way to the church thiough
the glen he heard, among the trees
the voice of the.' stranger at his
morning devotions. The elevation
the sentiments and of the expres- ,
sions convinced him that it was n
common man. He accosted him and
the traveller confessed to him tna
he was no other than the great di- i
vine and scholar, Archbishop Usher,
the Primate of the Church of lye- .
land, one of the best and most learn
ed men of his age who weU fulfilled
'hat new commandment in the lov ,
which he won and which he bore to
others. He was attracted by Ruthei
ford's fame and had thus come in
disguise to see him in the privacies
of nia own home.
The stern Covenanter welcomed the
stranger prelate, fi.de by side . they
pursued their way along Rut^eld ,
ford's walk to the little church, and
in that small Presbyterian sanctuary, .
from Rutherford's rustic pulpit the
Archbishop preached to the people to
on the words which had so staitlea
his host the evening before. I
??A new commandment I give unto ;
vou that ye love one another. As 1 ?
have loved you, that ye also love oneli
a"lfhwe can easily imagine the sur- 1
arise of the pious Scotchman, when,
he first heard of the Eleventh Com
niandment, much more may *e h?ur j
to ourselves the surprise of the apos
ties when they for the first time |
heard this new commandment from
the lips of their Divine Master.
What ' Are not the Ten Command
ments enough? Must we always be 1
'messing forward to something new. ;
What it this that He saith? We can- t
"Hf ^New Commandment ,
which our Saviour gave, was, in its ;
\ ei v form and fashion, peculiarly ,
characteristic of His way-jwuUar
of the Command
ivent lav in two points. First it was 1
new. because of the paramount p'^e
which it gave to the force of the hu
man affections the enthusiasm ?0 t
the stood of others which was, in .
<read of mere obedience or correct- .
'^of belief, henceforth to become
the channel of religious fervor; and
secondly, it was now, because it was
founded upon the appearan e of a
new character; a new manifestation
of the character of man a new man
stnwr s.*s *>" st :
. U' .Lm s?e <5^ss ,
w ?, which the apostles press inib
new grace of love or charity upon :
us that some Diviner Vision of Ex i
rellence had crossed their minds. Th .
verv word which they used to expiess
it w:>s new, and the consequences
therefore were new also. Love?"? -
another" was the doctrine of Jesus .
Christ, "as 1 have loved you
This was a new love. Sucha
as had no adequate basis in what men
h?H known and thought before ?a
fove not as oneself, but better than
oneself "that ye love, even as I have
U> Oh. 'that was new. There never ;?
had been a love ^ke that bctoie.
I Scarcely for a righteous man would |
{one die, yet peradventure for a good
: man some would even dare to die, '
but "'God commendeth His love to
I ward us that while we were yet sin
i ners Christ died for us." ;
This love was unselfish. It was
over descending. It was independent ,
of response. It was all of grace. It
was eternal. And such love, J?us '
said, was to prevail among Hfs dis- j 1
ciples. It was to be the essence, the ; 1
test, the power of Christianity. It | ]
has been as far as Christianity has !
prevailed. It has prevailed, by love, j 1
By love, it will subdue the world
after it has subdued us~ Do we thus '
love? If we do may, it be seen in the 1
Red Cross Drive and on Red Cross !
Day, the 8th.
A PRAYER 1
O God of Mercy, Thou knowest the '
bitterness of poverty, and the bar
renness it spreads on life. Thou ]
knowest how it darkens and tempts, '
and embitters the soul, and divides 1
man from his brother, and makes 5
faith in Thy goodness and care well 1
nigh impossible. Be present with Thy 1
help and blessing in homes made sad j
by poverty. Forbid that within them 1
the voice of unbelief or envy or re- s
bellion should be heard, but may ; <
trust in Thee and gentle patience s
sustain the life of the soul against c
every threatening ill. t
Raise up to those who are in need J
wise friends and counsellors, through1'
whose ministry Thou mayest provide (
a way of relief, and grant, 0 Lord, i
that justice and brotherly love may;*
prevail. : J.
Hear us 0 Lord, in behalf of those c
who are able to help with what
Thou hast given them. Teach them
that with Thy gift Thou givest them ; c
a great responsibility. May they real- >
ize that no material good is to be ^
compared with the joy of lightening t
the load of another's need. Grant a
them a spirit of 3elf denial, that j
they may renounce all luxury in the t
presence of their brothers and sisters !R
poverty, and need. ' ^
Bestow upon them the grace of the 0
Lord Jesus, who, for our sakes be- e
came poor, that we, through His pov- ,
erty might become rich, and may _
they be willing to follow in His foot- 0
steps, and to spend and be spent in a
the service of their brothers and sis- 0
ters, and this we beg for His sake, t]
Amen. ? C. D. C. j s
God Bless this Prayer Corner to \ ^
js, one and all, that God's blessing I n
may rest upon us.

THE TAR HEEL STATE!
(Uy Mark Taytur Orr)
North Carolina textiles yielded first |
place in state production to cigars j
and cigarettes manufactured in the I
state, it was announced by the state
department of conservation and de- :
velopment, recently.
Cigars and cigarettes manufactur
ed in the state in 1929 were valued
at $480,038,850, according to the 1930
:ensus. These figures do not include
the smoking and chewirtg tobacco and ,
snuff and it is expected that addi- 1
tional figures of these items will brine; |
the value of tobacco, including all j
:lasses, well above the half-billion j
nark.
Despite the textiles relinquishing ]
1rst place to tobacco, that industry :
las also made several spectacular
jains during the two year period of |
192?-1929. The products of the tex
tile industry increased in value by
27 and a half million dollars or by j
ilmost 10 per cent, however, in the j
iame period tobacco increased ap- 1
iroximately 20 per cent, officials ad
vanced Monday.
Western North Carolina solons, in
itateraents announced Monday, were
lecidedly opposed to calling a special 1
iession of the legislature to reduce !
otton acreage in North Carolina,
several representatives and senators
n the eastern section of the state, on
he other hand insisted that Gov. !
Jardner call such a session.
Apparently from all reports, the j
najprity of the solons are opposed to ??
he state forcing anything down the
armor's throat, as making such a
otton acreage reduction law.
That more than 175,000 wage earn- I
rs are jobless at the present time in
?orth Carolina was discovered by
-iston Mallard, Chief Statistician of
he N. C. department of Labor after :
n intensive study. |i
"This reveals that there are only ?
wo courses open to the people of the ]
tate; to find jobs for these unemploy- ?
d, or to take care of them by means
f charity," F. D. Grist, Commission
r Labor, announced Tuesday.
Construction of needed public im- >
rovements in towns and cities all <
ver the state ma^ offer' an import- [ .
nt employment measure. An utility ! ?
r direct tax may be used to finance j I

tician advises the utility measure, |
?hen sewage treatments and purifica- i
ion systems are the improvement;' j :

Title to 140,000 acres of land in the !
reat Smoky Mountains of North <
arolina and Tennessee was present
1 to Secretary Wilbur by David
hapman, Chairman of the Tennessse i
>mmission and Mark Squires, chair- '1
lan of the North Carolina commis
on, over the radio, Tuesday. The 1
vo states acquired the land "through 1
leir commissions making the first
me in the history of national parks,
i which a park has been increased
ir gifts rather than by development
federal owned lands.
Some of the most beautiful and j
chest of timber lands are included
i the additional tract, there being '
any unexplored acres and unknown
laces among them.
Farmers all over the Old North j
orth State are making rapid prog- 1
?ss for reports tell of abundant
elds, splendid examples of thrift ;
id courageous effort during this do- \
ression.
State manufacturers and busino.'L, !
en are of the opinion that the de- j
ression current in the state, nation :
id world has struck the bottom and
lat general business is trending on ,
le uphill path.
Important indications point to :i
ow, steady rise, in business and
lough a sudden rush of business is
Dt anticipated, there have been suffi
ient grounds in recent state-wide
sues to believe that the worst is
ast.
One of the most encouraging points
i the great (increase in power con
imption, as announced by power con
;rns of the state. This fact, tending
> show , that many mills and power
squiring industries have resumed op
rations. This upward trend of con- ,
imptioti is regarded as a most favor
ble sign by state authorities.
The North Carolina annual confer- 1
nee of the Methodist Protestant
hurch began its 104th session Wed
esday morning, and continuing thru
Sunday, at High Point, Wednesday,
lany state church leaders are at

mportant discussions of state .spirit
til welfare. i

And while we are talking about 1
ootoall, the young Coach of the
Jtatesville team killed in actions as
?csult of a football game recently.
!e was Ray Perdin", a former star of
he school h? coached. It appetyed
