REEVE j The Idea ol “Overlook” is taken from the Overlooks pro video ter I viewing panoramas alone the Blue Ridge Parkway. ~ I - **■* ' ' 1 ■' - Last evening several of us sat watching two kittens and q dog playing together. It was most amusing to sd(e them hopping around. and vying for our atten tion. I. was particularly interest ed in watching the motions of the. cat’s..tail, "always so graceful and yet. done without any self consciousness; presumably, with out aiiy conscious thought at all about her tail. I was reminded of a day when I listened reflect u ively to the beautiful singing of a bird. The bird, I am sure, did not know that it was singing beautifully: that is to say, it did not know whether itsl singing was being considered beautiful or harsh, and what is more, it did not c%re. The whole matter of loveliness or unloveliness of its singing was outside of the range of its thought. If it could have spoken and if one had ask ed it why it sang, it could only have answered, in the words of the poet, -“I "do but-sing because I must”; Likewise, a cat or a dog, or any animal, has no aware ness of the beauty of its coat (or, of the ugliness of it, if it is ugly). Man, however, is able to be consciously aware of beauty and grace whether in himself or oth ers. A vast gulf lies between him and even the animal highest' in the scale of mental advancement. Though it may be admitted that animals have mind and even power to a degrfee, yet they fall far short of what even the most primitive human being is en dowed with, so that to all intents and purposes it is correct to say that man’s capacity to live by in telligence is his distinguishing feature. The Almighty has allowed us human beings you and me to have an intelligence beyond any that has ever been discover ed in the rest of the world of na CROSSWORD PUZZLE i2~ J 4 5 pjjj 6J89 || 10 K "" 3T J|p Si - zP“ “ W ' 48 MM P imgggj HMl 15 ggjlFfr —p gapp » 40 41 “ "43 PUZZLE N».

Intelligence has enabled us to make amazing ad vances in many of the areas of life; and we all feel that there is within us the potentiality of be- • coming even more intelligent yet. There is hot an individual in the world who. could not or who might npt,—lf tried harder, or if circumstances were more favorable, rise to higher heights of wisdom in his man ner of life and in his understand ing of the mystery existence. Likewise the race as- a whole the human race, I mean could become infinitely more sagacious and skilled if it met the condi tions of progress in a more re sponsive way. The beginning of a new ytear is a time when it is well for us to recollect that we are stewards or trustees of this capacity t 0 be intelligent and to share our liv ing in an intelligent man ner. If a man . is a trustee of some business, a bank or. an in stitution, he is likely to bb sum moned for a meeting at the be ginning of a new year, and at such a Board of Trustees must study how to conduct the busi ness or administer the tunds of the institution with maximum efficiency. It is expected that they will bring to bear the best intelligence they are capable of on the problems before them. Similarly, we human beings nepd to reflect on our lives and consider whether we are making them count for aB much as thfcy are capable of. And, in particu lar, we need to ask whether we are using the brains that God has given us in thte fullest and most effective way. Are we just dragging along from weiek to 1 week, and from month to month, in the same old unimaginative I way? Are we like the animhls, ■ governed chiefly by instincts and - appetites, by fads and impulses? with rocker* (pD - «• Celebrated 50 First woman 31 Allow 33 Country at J Europe • 8 34 Hollow 4 f •Olid SO Join 37 Gsvo medi cine to SS Wide-mouthed pitchers 50 To gambol 1 > 60 Opposed to aweather 51 Place where money Is / coined 83 Rotate 8 Silkworm Number 22 Japanese com 24 Period of Ume 28 Yugoslav ruler 30 Poisonous snake 31 Reach across 32 News article 33 River of Europe 34 A headland 35 Former Russian ruler 38 Heraldic bearing 37 Observe 38 Chums 30 Man’s name 43 Article 44 Shower 48 Baby's bed Answer te Pauls Ke r.v My An&w&i *9 MM* Qnten QUESTION: My bc>y friend and ! I be engaged very soon but both of our parents object. Though, we are quite young, we are serious but don’t intend to get married, for' at . least three years. Should we. insist on doing It our way?".. ANSJSVER: Perhaps your par ents ave objecting on the -basis of your age alone. They perhaps think you mature enough to make this all-important decision. There Seems to be only one reason why you insist on engagement, be cause you are afraid that one or the other might feel too free otherwise. I would warn you that if you cannot trust each other under the present conditions you are perhaps not genuinely in love. Then you must . always • take into account your mutual- relationship to Christ. You must not hope for a completely successful marriage ' - ■ Or, are we people who take time to stop and think, how we are doing, and wherein we can do bettej? Are we spending our days and using our energy in the most intelligent way? Thete Is a sense in which in telligence may govern -our mem ories, For is it not true that the oapriclousness of our memories is one of our worst troubles? Wlb remember things that we ought to forget. How many of the mem ories that surge up in our minds are futile if not positively harm full! The memory, for example, of hurt feelings, of little wrongs done us; the memory of out dated resentments *or remorse. From ther?Other side of the pic ture —. from, the aid? where we forget things that. we o.ught to remember"— .Oh,.how this plague 6t forgetfulness torments us! Forgetting something can turn out, sontetimes, to be very expen sive in time or money. Dare we say that, by intelligence, man may find emancipation from mem ories that are unprofitable; and that, by intelligence, we may avoid costly forgetfulness? In a sense, we may. Much wrong mem ory and wrong forgetfulness spring from lack of intelligent attention to the relevant,. Our minds are allowed to flit here, there and everywhere, instead of being pinned down to the matter in bend, and in consequence, our memories run wild simultaneous ly. . More disciplined attention to the matter in hand will bring a reward also in better memory. Yet we all realize that more than mere intelligence is requir ed. What we must have besides intelligence is will power. Without strength of character to carry into practice what we see to be right we will find ourselves worse off than the man who initially had never applied his mind as sidusously to the problems of life. 1 | ■ The Bible tells us that if any man be In Christ, he is a new creation. This declaration, applied to today’s discussion, means that in Christ a man finds the will power t 0 do what he ought. Th# coming of Christ into a person's heart lifts him out of the ruts of unintelligent living and emer gizes his highest faculties. There fore, it is eternally true that If any man be in Christ, he is a new creature. You who leave no stone unturned to have Christ as your effective Lord and Master are bound to have a happy new year without my wishing it for you. T 0 be made new in Christ is YOUR New Year. Otherwise, 1988 will just be a dragging on of the old year in the same old sad and weary way. , ADMINISTRATRIX NOTICE NORTH CAROLINA YANCEY COUNTY Having qunlit <vt as Administra trix of the & -ate of Doyle Yeung, decease*, late of Yanoey County, this la to notify all per •Ona having claim against the Decedent to exhibit the same to the undersigned Administratrix at bar home in MloavUl*, N, C., on or before the 28th day of November, 1958, or this notice Will bo pleaded in bar of their re- All persons owing the Estate moot, TMs 85th dey es 987.
