‘snoop’s scoops;
SNOOP SCOOPS AGAIN!
Possibly “scoops” is used in
correctly in the foregoing clause,
but what I’m trying to lead up
to is that according to better jour
nalists—this column is tripe.
It all came about like this. At
a journalism meeting in Roxboro
high school last week, the high
brows and lowbrows conglambrat
ed. When I speak of low and high
brows, I mean high school jour
nalists who think the gossip col
umn has a place in the paper and
those who think it is definitely
out. Well, to make a short story
shorter, these two divisions
clashed and Scoops became a
onarter member of the ‘pro”,
group. Scoops honestly believes
that every student had rather
know such things as why some
one was taken home early last
Sunday night them to know the
name of the opera, the song Ma
dame Yelloudandsqueak sang,
came from.
The idle chat that’s echoing
loudest this week is:
1. Wonder why Cornelia Young
looks out the window with a sigh
when a motorcycle passes?
2. Why is a certain Duke boy
ready to come back to Roxboro
anytime? He rinitials are M. M.
3. What’s the idea of some sen
ior girls trying to break up a
perfpet romance in the ninth gra
de?
4. Mary Ruth Long seems to
like drums very much.
5. Lots of senior girls get ex
cited at a football game. The foot
ball cjarfcainly isn’t the one to
get hurt.
6. I'll bet Ida Frances will start
betting on Wake Forest from now
on. But definitely!
7' There’s a certain little girl
on Reams Avenue, so I hear, that
seems to like South Main street
better over the weekend. Could it
be a man?
8. We hear that there are quite
a few romantic rides at the fair
this year. All you have to have is
a man and the Loop-O-Plane.
9. What is it that the fresh
men girls seem to have that the
sophomore, junior and senior
girls seem to lack? Could it be
youth?
10. Frank Whitt seems to be
writing quite a few letters to
Reidsville lately..
11. Billy C., who’s the lucky
girl, I wonder could it be Made
line?
12. We wonder who Robert Pet
tigrew’s new flame is? Don’t they
start out young these days?
13. We wonder why Rooert
Wagstaff saves Lelia Monk a seat
in the library every day?
14. It didn’t take a certain
blonde from Durham High long
to beat a path to Ann Marie’s
door.
IC* Anita Kirby seems to have
her eye on Graham Rayford of
the tenth grade, he is about the
right height and age too.
15. We wonder who George
Cushwa could possibly be writing
to on blue stationery. Hint, Hint,
he - seems to likte Greensboro
right much too.
17. It seems that Elmo is going
to the fair every night lately.
Could it be because a certain
blonde goes too?
18. Margie Monk is making a
now statement lately, that she is
strictly a man hater.
20. What’s all the attraction to
the football team this year, girls?
if you are still with me, I’l
sign off now by saying: Yours
for bigger and better gossip col
umns.

SUNDAY
SCHOOL LESSON
From
The Adult Student
Who Was Luke?
Luke was a young doctor of
Antioch. He was a member of
ihe Christian church there before
he joined Paul on his second mis
sionary journey. At Troas Paul
had his vision of the man of Me
cedonia who said “Come ove.’
into Macedonia and help us.” This
, determined the great missionary's
j decision to carry the gospel for
the first time into Europe. Luke
probably joined Paul and Silas
there, for there begins the “we”,
(Acts 16: 10 ) passages. Luke
witnessed the conversion of Ly
dia, the first European convert
to Christianity. He saw Paul res
cue the slave girl (“A certain
damsel pessessed of the spirit of'
divination”) from the men who
were exploiting her for gain. Itl
is noteworthy that the prayer!
meeting by the river excited no
oppposition. But opposition came
when the gospel clashed with the
vested interests of the selfish and
inhuman master’s of the poor!
girl. He saw Paul and Silas
• rown into prison because iheyj
had dared to interfer with the;
ill-gotten gains of those men. He
a’so saw the glorious converricn
of the Phillipian jailer.
During Paul’s two yars’ im
prisonment in Caesarea Luke was
With him offering him friendship
and professional skill. When
Ftul was a prisoner in Rome,
waiting for his martyrdom, Luke
was again near. I can imagine the
last farewell which these two
comrades of the Cross must have
said before Paul was led forth to
die.
Paul called Luke “the beloved
physician” (Col. 4: 14); and writ
ing to Timothy from his Roman
cell, Paul again says, “Demas has
deserted me. Only Luke is with
me” (11 Tim. 4: 10,11). Demas
had been one of Paul's fellow
workers. But the glitter of pagan
Rome obscured the glory of the
Cross for Demas, and he deserted
the cause. The desertion of De
mas must have been harder for
Paul to bear than his own incar
ceration.
If Demas broke Paul’s heart,
Luke mended it As Paul thought
of the unswerving loyalty of
Luke, he must have taken heart
again. Loyalty is the keystone in
the arch of ■ character.
Luke is the only Gospel writer
who gives us the parables of the
Prodigal Son and the Good Sa
maritan. But if all the rest of the
Bible should be lost, we would
catch the flash of the Christ spi
rit in these two stories. One par
able discloses the heart of God
who, like the father of the prod
igal, yearns with unconquerable
love for the return of his son.
'ihe other gives us an immodal
picture of the golden law of U,ve
that recognizes a brother on the
road of life and shares with ill at
brother the best that it has w;tn
out inquiring about his creed or
his race or his flag. The Gospel
of Luke is the gospel of the father
hood of God and the brotherhood
of man.
Dr. F. W. Farrar says that
Luke’s is pre-eminently the Gos
pel of tolerance. It was written
by a Greek to a Roman about a
.Tew. Luke does not utter a sing
le harsh syllable even against the
Jews. He had grasped the truth
that Christ has“other sheep which
are not of this fold.” Do we not
need to learn that every form of
b gotry is a denial of Christ?
From the point of view of the
orthodox Jew Samaritans were
deadly heretics. Yet Luke tells
us that when the disciples wanted
to destroy a Samaritan village
with fire, Jesus rebuked them.
Like these disciples, the religious
controversialists of all times have
said, “Wilt thou that we command
fire to come down from heaven,
and consume them, even as Elijah
did?” And to all such bigots
comes the rebuke of the Lord,
‘Ye know not what manner of
spirit ye are of. For the Son of
Ms. n is not come to destroy men’s
'ives, but to save them.”’
Matthew portrays Jesus as the
teacher of the things of God.
Mark portrays Jesus as the doer
New Speaker
Speaker of the House of Repre
sentatives Sam Rayburn of Texas,
who succeeds the late William Bank
head. One of his first duties was
presiding over Bankhead’s state fu
neral
of heaenly deeds. His thesis is
that Jesus is tne Son of God be
cause he does what you would
expect God to do if he took upon
himself the form of a man. John
sees Jesus as the wisdom of God
made flesh. And Luke under
scores the passion of Christ for
men. To him Jesus is the Great
Physician of souls.
What Is Your Gospel?
Alas, not many people read
the four Gospels which are in the
New Testament. They get their
conception of Christianity from
ycu and me.
What is the gospel according
to us? What gospel do we em
phasize in word and deed? The
Gospel of Luke is winsome. Does
tie gospel which men see in our
lives win or repel? Does it truly
characterize Christ, or does it
caricature him?

health officers of North Carolina
met in Raleigh Tuesday to formu
late plans for offering a free

What a blow to this home owner. His home
is reduced to smoking ruins —that’s bad
enough. But worst of all, his valuable papers
(some of which cannot be replaced) are
damaged beyond hope of salvage.
As a safeguard against incidents like this,
cautious people keep their valuables under
