Go To Church Somewhere This Sunday The Churches of Jackson County Welcome You And Invite You to Attend Services At the Church Of Your Choice WEEKLY SERMONET Thi? is the first in a series of weekly sermonets by Sylva M inisters The Majesty of Service By Rev. W. H. Wakefield Read St. Matthew 20:2-28. Text, Genesis 1:28, "Have thou dominion." The golden age of the human race will be that period when man renders the highest possible serv ice to this wofld. Man is the great object of all teaching and all en deavor. He was made just a little lower than the angels and endow , ed with dominion over the in habitants of land, sea and air, also, over death itself. God in his son,'Jesus Christ, our Lord and Saviour, has made all this possible if through faith we accept Him as He offers Himself to us. It is a great thing to be a man. Flowers are beautiful, the mountains are gigantic, oceans are deep .material wealth is powerful .diamonds are truly jewels, yet I would rath er be a man than be any. of these things. To get a true conception of what man's value is one must look beyond the material values which man so often judges himself by A man can be measured only by himself in his relation to his Gocf. 1. He is more valuable than any thing he has ever acquired. Thom as Edison knew this for he said he could make diamonds at five dollars per pound but he was too busy. I bad a neighbor (ju.st i\ fellow next door) who thought only of making money the easy way, by gambling. He spent his full life acquiring his living this way. When Sam died he was worthless for he never left even a good name. He was worthless while he lived for the greatest value to him was selfishness. 2. Man is more valuable than anything he has ever organized All that man has organized may be rightly put under four heads: law, government, society, and bus iness. Unless he is big enough to obey, loyal enough to be patriotic, friendly enough to be sociable and courageous enough to work, he SQUARE OANGE HELEN'S BARN Highlands, N. C.

Mr. man, pry into the secrets of nature and expound them and your result will be, science. Lay hold of these i forces of nature and employ them, and you have art. Possess them and enjoy them, and you have . culture. These tnree ? science, j art, culture ? make up the unit t of civilization, and the difference I in man in his two distinct posi tions in life is marked by the way | ne carries out his command: "Have j thou dominion," whether he uses these for the benefit of civiliza ion or whether he destroys it. About one hundred years ago there was one who actually serv ed. He came out of Maryland, made j his way over the Allegheny mount, j ains and settled in Indiana. He ! spent fifty years in a one teacher I school on a salary ot $30.00 p.r J month and boarded around a | mung the * pupils. He would call j the ill clad, shaggy headed, young I lellows around him and talk to them about The Majesty of Ser vice. There were Tom and Ad, Ol and'Lew.

In all his liie he had not j accumulated as much as S3,000. But he left a wealth..? a fortune ( hi lives. He was Samuel K. Hos j ..our.

The hoosier school master was there at the making of tnese boys into men. He heard ! ihe command, "Have thou Dom inion." "in having all things and not Thee, what have I? [_ Not having Thee, what have my labours got? Let me enjoy but Tnee, what further crave I? And naving Thee alone, what have I not? I wish not sea. nor land, nor would I be Possessed of Heaven, Heaven unpossessed of Thee;" Francis Quarles The number of soil samples sub mitted annually to the Soil Test ing Laboratory of the S$ate De partment of Agriculture has marc than doubled during the past four years.
