Many interesting games, both old and new, were played. Delicious refreshments were served. Owingeto the bad roads many of the seniors who, live in the country, were de prived of this pleasure so much en joyed by those present. The chapel programs last week were given by the ninth and tenth grades. These programs are becom ing more and more interesting. The efforts of teacheis and students com bined render valuable training as well as entertainment. A contest of stunts was given by the b. b; b. and Lanier Literary So cieties last Friday. This was the fifth of a series of contests and the fourth which the Lanicrs have won. Rah! Rah! Rah! The exercises .Tuesday morning were giveni by the senior class. The program was amusing! as one wauid expect anything to be, under the su pervision of Mr. Moss. It is a mira cle that somebody did not say Work for the Annual, right in th middle of his role, the seniors are so enthusiastic over the first Annual to be published at F. H. S,, which will be an honor to the class of 26. The boys' basket ball team has played two games since the last writ ing, Dillard and Cullowhee on Frank- l tl. -i i "i nil s tuuri. j. ue wiiluuk.cc uuys are to come to Franklin next Saturday.

Mr. Bramlett was giving the class a lecture on honesty. "Now, then," he said, pointing to a boy in the back row, "suppose a friend lent you his overcoat and, putting it on, you found in one of the pockets a quarter which your friend had completely forgotten You wouldn't keep the quarter, would you?" "Certainly not." ' "That's right," said Mr. Bramlett. "what would you do with :t?" "I would spend it." Mrs. Newly wed "Oh, .George, I forgot to get the soap. Run over to the grocer and pet a couple of 'virs, I want to wash the lettuce." Son "When a man is in love every thing looks different to him."

A good definition one hard to improve. This is a great day for technical education. But the child must rlearn to be honest, to work, to be obedient, to deal fairly with his fellow men, to be a good cit izen. H. G. Wells, a 4 man whom a lot of folks consider very wise, says that we have now come to a time when we have a race between education and catastrophe. Education must take into consideration political ideals, economic question, social cus toms, laws and -morals, in fact, every thing. . It has been said, "Education is knowledge, knowledge is power, thslt the eeneral and universal diffusion and education among the people is the surest guarantee of happiness., liberty, wealth and welfare." J. O.V. A. M. MEETING There will be a regular meeting of Cullasaja Council, No. 158, J. O. U. A. M., on Thursday night, February 25. Degree work, etc. AH "members requested to be present. Things of Interest at the Methodist' Church 1 At 11 o'clock on Sunday morning the 14th, the pastor, Rev. B. C. Reav is, gave to a very appreciative, and interested congregation a sermon of unusual spiritual power and practical application. He announced as his sub ject: "A Pinched Committee That Got Results," taking for his text "And They Said, One ' to Another 'Why Set We Here Until we Die'?" He told in a very forcible way of the great famine in Israel which drove mothers to such desperation as to boil and eat their own babes for food, while the city was being be sieged by the Syrians, and of four lepers who sat "at ttie entering in of the gate" also starving. He, spoke of how they consulted together held a committee meeting as to their best course under the desperate circum stances. " Nothing seemed plausible but one .thing they all agreed on, and that was, "if we sit here we will die," so they decided to throw themselves upon the mercy of their enemies, the Syrians, for they at least had food How they found through the provi dence of God, the camps ot the Sy rians deserted, but filled with food and riches of all sorts; how after satisfying themselves, they returned to the starving city to take the good news of salvation to their country men. Mr. Reavis then proceeded to draw lessons of practical and spiritual value to his congregation. He show ed how inactivity meant death, how if we wanted anything, we must get up and go after it, and not sit idly and indirectly by waiting for things to happen. He said in part, that in difference, neglect and procrastinaT tion wer the deadly sins that caused not only failures in this life, but fail ure to gain life eternal that given sufficient desire and effort put forth promptly and continuously, the elimi nation of the many sad cases of want and failure in the world today, would follow and make the waste and desert places to bloom as the rose, and flow with milk and honey. He said neglect and inaction was the only thing necessary to cause a man to lose even his soul. In this connection he quoted the following forcible lines: "He made no mistakes, took no wrong road . . He never fumbled the ball. He never went , down 'ncath the weight of a load He simply did nothing at all. "He lost no hard fight in defense of the right. He never bled M'ith his back to the wall. He never fell .faint in his climb to the light He simolv did nothing at all. "So (loath camo nigh, for life slipped by..' And he feared for the judgment hall; . When they asked him why, he sai. with a sigh, 'I simply did nothing at all'. "Oh, God will pardon your blunder my friend, ' ' . Or regard with pity your fall; But the one big sell that surely mean? hell Is to simply do nothing at all." He also spoke of the obligation resting on those who enjoyed supe rior blessings to pass on such bless ings to others. A very earnest ap peal was made to the members of the church who had been recipients of the "riches of grace through Christ Jesus," who had feasted on the "Bread of Life" and drunk of the "Water of Life" to carry the glad tidings to those who were starving t'er this spiritual food. Miss Margaret Rogers - who has just returned from a visit' of several weeks to Washington was welcomed back to her place at the organ. : The evening service was very well .'.tt ended and' the subject, "Straining at Gnats and Swallowing Camels" was interpreted to mean getting a wrong perspective of life. It was pointed out how disastrous it was not to be able to truly judge, and place in their proper places the things of life giving first place to things of real and lastlne value and relegating tc the liackground the things of in cor importacne those things of time and sense, fleeting and unsatisfying. That in order to be able to make this all important distinction, we must put ourselves under control of the Re vealer of all Truth. ' . j SERVICES AT FRANKLIN METHODIST CHURCH Rev. B. C.
