' - A srrech raey ef the S0IT7 that sf , Colonel Ltu sa4 eae of a dea ea- Prayer is the key which unlocks the doors of Heaven. Who is it, that would deny that praver will be an swered? If there is anyone who would say there is no answer to prayer, that person certainly has nev er prayed a prayer in their life, for we have the blessed promise from Jesus Christ himself, while he was on earth, that if we would ask anything of him, he would not fail to give it to us; but we must have faith in our prayer. We should come to our Heavenly Father as a child would go to its earthly parents, and ask for what we desire. The greatest mistakes that we make in this life is when we fail to ask the Lord to be always near us and protect us from all evil and help us to Dear our burdens. 'Have we trials and temptations. is there trouble anywhere; We should never be discouraged. Take it to the Lora in prayer, in His arms he'll take and shield thee; take it to the Lord in prayer " We may sometimes get impatient ana tninx that we are not going to get an answer. Friends, this is where the. Lord may try our faith. some may pray for anything, and if they don't get an answer just then. they will just give up. That is not what we should do: if we just keep caning on the Lota, he will hear us. Jesus spoke about an unjust judge while he was on earth. He said that there was a woman who came to this judge, and asked him to help her and give her justice. For a long time he would not pay any attention to her but she just kept coming to him every day, and finally, after much pleading, the judge became weary with - her cries, and said he would do what she desired of him, for he said that he was tired of her continually coming to him. So if this unjust and wicked judge, who did not care for right or wrong, one who did not care where hia people got justice or not, would in time, become so weary of this wo man's cries and give h what .she asked, how much more will our kind and most supreme Judge be willing to hear us when we call oa Him? - - , Friends, when trouble and tempta tions come, you will soon have peace if you will just take it to the Lord in prayer. I know from experience that there is power fat prayer. I have never failed to get an answer when I asked ia faith from the depth of my heart. We may pray, using many words, but we are not rewarded for tve ft f "cch and if-y w-'s but ir U e ii.er uttered L.j t.i of our feeling. The and contrite spirit k such as the.

JOYCE) On the first visit to the school where we were about to start a vear's work, we noticed that all our window lights cave about three were broken out. We inquired about them and found out that a passing crowd had broken these out. We have intsall- ed hew window lights, and the Ques tion in all our minds is how long will they last? It seems to me that this ia a needless Question to harbor in our minds, but yet it is not. It seems that in a civilized state like North Carohna and in a county like Mad ison this heedless destruction of oub- lfc property is absolutely unnecessary. Of course, we might ask the question who paid for the lights, and the an swer would naturally be: "The Coun ty Board of Education." Yes, but where did " they get the - money. That's the Question. The answer is just as natural as ' the other one: "The . Taxpayers." Son in the long run the taxpayers, or yon, yourself, paid for those lights, then why not look after those lights? Surely it is just as easy to go by a schoolhoose and leave things alone as it is to go by a dwelling house and leave it a lone. , ' ' r" MS ' . injured. One report was that I the car loaded with liquor ar- l . rested soon after, had struck Mr. Ramsey. This, however, is not yet a known fact. Mr. Ramsey's relatives and friends have the sympathy of the entire community. The ac cident was the sadder due to the fact that Mr. Ramsey, ac companied by his daughter, Mrs. J. B. Tweed, had just re turned from a trip to Cincinnati and he had not reached home after arriving in Marshall when the accident occurred. The truck ran against the porch of the Frisby house, do ing some damage to the resi dence and rendering the truck useless. Reports from the hospital in Ashe ville Friday morning stated that the condition of Mr. James Ramsey is better at the present We read la the News-Record ef this week, an article about The Carolina Ff This is we hope a fore- r cf tie ;ei.lzz np of real e- tatfl in Madison County. Look around at our neighbors and what is it that has brought such wide publicity and prominence. Nothing but the real estate boom. Asheville has been made by it. Hendersonville the same. Madison county u opeueu up has the same, yes, and more to offer than the two above mentioned initio. There ia pure mountain wa- - ter, the best of fresh air, and indeed, superb scenery. Let's let the world know about real estate in Madisoa County, once they come they will nev er go away. ... We have been greatly interested lately m studying tne economic standing of North Carolina.
