The Good Mut Fight Lesson for January 21, 1951 OU WOULD think that it ever I there arrived on this planet a really good person, he would be popular with everybody. People are tired of meanness, they are sick of being lied to and cheated. They are tired of the sins of others, even tired of their own. So if a really good person should appear, one in whom-"was no shadow, complete ly transparent to wouldn't everyone Dr- Foreman flock to him, wouldn't he have the human race in the palm of his hand, as it were, In a short time :;. V'v -Agelong War THE ANSWER is No. It Is not well to be too optimistic about human nature. As a matter of fact, some of 'the best persons history has known met some of the bitterest opposition. Indeed, when One came who was completely good, whose life was all light and no shadow, he was no better treated and no more warmly welcomed than, less . ,. gooa persons nave oeen. . j Jesus Christ had his enemies, , ; strong and wdlrganlsed. The , ! number of those who believed In h I n was comparatively ' small; the number who did not believe er Ignored him al together, was 'enormous. The history of mankind Is the history of a war, the age long war between good and evil, between God and his enemies. The story of Jesus Is one -chapter in this . his tory, the most Important by far, but by no means the first one or the last " ' .- ;v-.';W' .,A:.y-' : Why Was Jesus Hated? ? THE READER should - examine' the record In the Gospels and try to think for himself who opposed Jesus, and why they' did so. One striking fact is that Jesus' enemies were not what we call the 'lower classes," much less the "criminal classes." fils enemies-were rather from out of the top drawer, as we might say. They were the financial, social and religious leaders of his time. They finally got him executed as a criminal..'- ws '.f'-V If there' had never been any one te contradict the records .' . of the Sanhedrln, that high ' ; court of Jerusalem, and those, records had become recognised - as the truth, Jesus would .have ; gone down In history, if re J membered at all, as a trouble-maker, a lawless and worthless . man, whose execution was a protection te society. Why were .these leading ; men, Jesus' . "distinguished" contempo raries, so wrong about Jesus T " ' . .. ' ; 1 "At he is, so are we..." THE. READER should think this out for himself. On reason can be mentioned here: It Is very easy for wrong to be so long accepted and so ' strongly entrenched that it is universally taken for right Then when the right comes along, especially when in the form of an idea suggested by some one not of the upper crust it actually seems to be wrong. People kept long in a dark room find light painfull Any one who tries te follow , Jesus ' will find himself up against the same sort of op- x position. "?-"'.;:.' v..- '' Any one who proposes to live as Jesus lived, " or to change our ac customed patterns of society' In the direction which Jesus pointed out will be called (as-be was) a crack pot a dreamer, an impractical fel low who does not know enough to go In when it rains. ; 'V' Our Divine Alliance CONSIDER one example of this. A Christian who makes up his mind to dedicate his body a "living sacrifice" to God. and therefore not to handicap himself with the drug of alcohol, is certain, In many places, to be considered a sort of crank, it not tnat people wui laugh at him, though they will: people will be angry with him for his stand. They will do all they can to make him' break his pledge, Instead f admiring a eleaa "and free' Ufe, many people are not content unless ' they en - soli that cleanness and . break ' down that freedom. So to stand -for Christ in any aspect 'of Ufa '-' Is not easy. "Hit ' we need ; te remember we fight ne lonely fight: our cause la net forlorn, Just as Jesus in Galilee was al ways On the side of those who' were beaten fend battered by .sin and evil, - but -still fighting, so now the ever-living Christ is always on the side of thosrg who in their hearts desire good and not evil, cleanness and not dirt truth and not Ilea, (Cp7rif M ay Iht lntraaUaal Caa n !

That would be a new stitch, to say the least "-: ;.. , -v. ::;;r., Conservative-Liberal forces seem to be about evenly split in the Senate, with liberals -- believe it or not - - maybe having a slight edge. On the House side, the con servatives seem to be In the saddle by a half-dozen or so votes. The latter could give the Republicans the final aayso U they can awing their 10 votes as a bloc, and lift the out of the legislative observer class. -v'" "',--:r';, "'":'";.'.'. -, v.: A bill has been drawn up de signed to put former Judge Luther Hamilton of Morehead City back on the retired list and to restore the back pay held up recently. As you may "recall, Judge Hamilton retired Of "total disability" one day before he would have bad his Superior Court Judgeship taken away. He subsequently held special terms of court, which the Supreme Court ruled he did not have the right to do. The Supreme Court inferred further .that by holding those courts Hamilton bad auto matically "unretlred" himself and was no longer entitled td the more than $500 a month pension. At torney General Harry McMullaa later ruled that Hamilton's pay check should be withheld. . This bill, which may be Introduc ed this week, would say in enect that once a Judge Is retired he le gally stays retired. Although It does not mention Hamilton it would put him back on the retired list legally and restore the pay he has lost since McMullan's ruling. , . Two years ago, the House had passed an appropriations bill that among other things, called for a $2,200-3,100 pay scale for teachers. The purse-pinching senate refused to go along,: and re-referred the bill to the Senate appropriations committee.' '"."'.' Twenty-4hree members of that committee sat down to whittle on the bill. School forces could count 11 sure votes. Economy-minded forces could count 11 sure votes. The 23rd mad was Senator . Paul Jones of Pitt,' a dentist who was vitally Interested In. a $1,000,000 appropriations for a dental school at the University of North Caro lina. ;V--,V;,- The school forces thought Dr. Jones would vote for them. But when the tally, was made, It was 12-11 in favor of knocking off the pay raise for the school teachers and putting it on the jiow-tamous contingency basis. Bat the million dollars for the dental school which had been threatened with the economy knife was left on the appropriations bill.. ; '-'' "'' Ironically, that dental school has not been built and is on the list of permanent improvements that Eco nomy-Leader Grady Rankin of Gas ton has Intimated will be studied with surgery In mind. Dr. Jones also has a bill of much Importance to him in the hopper. It would appropriate $70,000 to buy land for Eastern Carolina Teachers College in his home town of Green ville. It seemed headed for a quick okay by the Senate appropriations committee, then suddenly was stop ped and held up for later action. Could It be that economy forces will saye ie , E.GTXC bill over Dentist Jones' head for later bar gaining purposes? . . If you've ever been in Raleigh, you know that the restaurants are rushed from noon until about 1:30 or Z p.m Stale employees some times have a struggle getting fed within; their allotted lunch hour. - Whari toe plans' for the new EUle Highway Building Were drawn up, they Included electric and water outlets in the basement so that space might someday be used as a restaurant The N.

'' On the other hand," Doe Jordan says the outlets were put there for future possibilities. If Jhe : lunch hour rush gets worse, he thinks It might - be . good business . for .the State . to lease this space to a- pri vate operator; so -that employes would nave a. handy place .to eat Staggering lunch hours would mean a two-hour "loss, of employees4ime, "It's a straight business proposi tion, as far'as l'a concerned," Jorr dan says. "It Jt's jood business for a mill to have a restaurant for its employees, then It's' good business for the' state to arrange for a rest aurant where 'its employees' ; can eat Furthermore, the restaurant would be Teased to r. ivate operat ors so the state would not be in' compeUon ' with, the ' restaurant folk."

"'v'Hij Recently the Attorneys Simms sent Jordan a letter, promising le gal action to stop allocation ' of Highway Building. space as a res taurant If the building plans were n't changed. .'v'' ' K i Since the contracts have been let, Jordan says he doesn't see how the building can be changed. : Meantime, the restaurant folks are in this position:, they feel they might not be able to stop the high way building arrangement for a possible future restaurant through legal action. They are not sure they could stop the actual operation of a restaurant in the building by court action. They would like to have the legislature bar such, pro cedure on the part of the high way commission il they-'cant stop it In the courts. -hr - . . But court1 action iwithouf the commission attempting to Set' up a restaurant would be. silly. ' Any legislation might have the far-reaching effect of barring the State-front- operating road machin ery, navmar prmoners wora. uu iuo roads, and abolish -all prison -in-, dustries. suchas making motor ve hicle license ttUtee. An akt that would bar the restaurant could even go so far as to prohibit the operation of state farms; . -v By the time this reaches print, special appropriation from the contingency and emergency fund likely will have been-okayed by the legislature so the Agriculture Building annex can be built - The 1949 assembly .aproprlated a million dollars for this. But bids ran over by $147,000.- The House has passed a special bill providing another 175,000 to finish the new building. I;; V-i "'.;"" But last week some 'of the boys were planning to tack the $175,000 ag building bill on a $41,000 civil defense bill 'as a rider. Then on Monday night Wake Senator James H. Pou Bailey and his cousin. Rep resentative Edwin Pou, also of Wake, introduced identical resolu tions calling for A. probe of the contract-letting for an amphithea tre -- mistakenly -named a coli seum at the N. C. State Fair. This scared the rider boys. They were afraid then that the ag 'build ing rider might kill the civil de fense bill.
