Her Lamp Still Glows
During the month of May. 1820. in Flor
ence Italy, a baby girl was born to wealthy
English parents Miss Florence Nightingale
had little time for social events as she be
came concerned over the poor quality of
treatment of sick people and the low stand
ards of sanitation in the hospitals of her
day. During her 90 years of life, she influ
enced strongly two major institutions which
today have the responsibility of caring for
more than 20 million sick or injured patients
each year. One of the these institutions is
the modern hospital which is so different
from the “nursing home’’ of her early days
The other is the nursing profession which
is as far removed from the nurse oi miss
Florence's day as the well equipped and
efficiently run hospitals of today are removed
from the nursing home of her day.
Her outstanding accomplishments in the
Crimean War were the cleaning up of mil
itary hospitals and the introduction of wom
en with good reputations to serve as nurses.
She was the inspiration of a great and noble
profession and her influence is still felt all
over the world. Young people of today
have the opportunity to enter a great pro
fession which offers many opportunities for
service and immense satisfactions.
nULLUAii inr. r^»r\i — i am,
like anyone else would be, flat
tered that some of my friends
have contacted me to determine
my interest, if any, in being en
dorsed for appointment to the U.
S. Senate.
Some of them have wanted to
go see the Governor in my behalf.
1 asked that this not be done.
It was pointed out that having
spent three years on Capital Hill
with, first. Senator Bailey and
then William B. Umstead, that,
theoretically, I would be able^ to
step in without too much indoc
trination. I agreed that if I
could be helpful to the Governor
or to the Democratic Party by go
ing to Washington to help "hold
the fort” until the Governor and
the executive committee had time
to 'decide on the person to be
placed on the Democratic ticket
for the November election, I would
be glad to do so. However, it
would be with the understanding
that it would only be until some
one else could be chosen, as I
have no burning desire at this time
to live in Washington.
My family and I have been
much happier these last few years
since we left Washington and we
are satisfied. Or. the^ other hand,
there are hundreds of good, able
men readv willing and eager to
go. I explained this to Governor
V r.stead last week. The Gover
nor and my friends, I am sure, un
derstand my position in the mat
ter.
SECOND PRIMARY?—With the
big biennial voting day in North
Carolina just around the corner,
folks who three weeks ago showed
little interest now open their
street corner conversations with:
"Do you think there is going to be
a second Primary ?
By "second Primary,” they mean
a runoff between Senator Lennon
and his leading opponent. Kerr
Scott of Haw River.
To win without the pain and
expense of a second Primary. Sen
ator Lennon must receive at least
one more vote than the combined
votes of the candidates who think
they can do a better job of look
ing after North Carolina s inter
ests in Washington than can Alton
Lennon.
WHO IS HE?—When a cam
paign is underway, the question
arises as to “who is so-and-so??
' . . . never heard of him.” W ell.
those candidates you never heard
of are the boys who become im
portant in the last laborious
breaths of the race. They bring
on the runoffs—and become ex
ceedingly popular with the twc
top men in those short, hurried
ay- between the regular voting
and the final vote. Once in a
while you find a pickle in the bar
rel, but a? a general thing the\
a. i stood, substantial citizens —
and sometimes have more on the
ball than the men who are bettei
known. Remember Sandy Graham
in that hard-fought, three-correrec
battle with Clyde R. Hoey and Dr
Ralph McDonald in 1936? He los
out. He was the also-ran.
It must be admitted that th<
whole thing smelled to high heav
en. McDonald supporters, anc
there were one or two of them
swore Hoey was nominated on £
fluke. But. as it turned out, Clyde
R. Hoey became the most populai
Governor we ever had. Hoey u
time went on to the U. S. Senate
shouldering Bob Reynolds out oi
there rather unceremoniously ir
1944. ^ .
When our daughter, Olivia Lm
ney was born 12 years ago las'
month, one of the announcement:
of her birth went to Clyde R. Hoey
At that time, 1942, he was neithei
governor nor senator. Back frorr
him at his home in Shelby cam*
this little silver cup engraved t<
Olivia Linney Brewer from Clyd(
R. Hoey.
My first role as a delegate to £
Democratic National Conventior
was on the third term thing it
Chicago in 1940. I rode up wrtl
Dr. Ralph McDonald, rode bad
with Clyde R. Hoey. I was con
sidering' running for president o
the State YDC’s at that time. Tp
on my return, I found Me Do nab
friend's calling me a conservative
while my Hoey friends were pin
ning on me the liberal badge,
saw fit to deny neither charge.
Ralph Gardner, nephew of Clydt
R. Hoev. was pledged to me for tht
YDC presidency. But in the Iasi
go-around we got McDonald tc
<nve his support to Gardner and
he was elected. Thus it was tha,
from 1936 to 1940—four years—
Hoey succeeded with his charm in
UllUgilig l U 1113 3iur -HVOI va
who had opposed him—including
the man he had beaten for Gov
ernor.*
. Fifty per cent of the U. S. Sen
ate, greatest deliberative body on
earth, broke loose from the ash
ington maelstrom long enough last
Saturday to come to Shelby to pay
homage to Clyde R. Hoey. No
accusing finger ever pointed in
his direction about income tax re
turns, roads through his farm, and
bull calf walks. He united the
people of his State. He didn t
tear them apart. He didn't sep
arate them by classes. He didn't
set city folks' against farm folks,
labor against management, and
white against black.
With it all, however, he might
have returned to Shelby .to stay
in 1936 had it not been for one
man. That man? None other
than A. H. Sandy Graham. He
was an also-ran in that guberna
torial race of ly36. McDonald had
led Hoey pretty well in the first
primary. But Graham knew Hoey
better than he did McDonald, who
was not a native of this State. He
cast his lot with Clyde R. Hoey.
The folks, of course, raised the
dickens, called Graham this and
that, but he stuck to his course.
Ail his supporters, save two or
three, became ardent Hoey sup
porters for the runoff. Hoey did
more than any other man in this
century to popularize the office of
Governor of North Carolina. He
went here and there, speaking . . .
speaking. Off at some barbecue,
hogkilling, or picnic, you would
hear music, and there prancing
down the street would be the Le
noir High School band. And, just
as omnipresent, was Clyde R.
Hoey.
What became of Sandy Graham,
who held enough balance of pow
er to put in McDonald if he had
so wished ? He went back to_ his
law practice in Hillsboro. When
Gregg Cherry became Governor,
he made Graham chairman of the
State Highway Commission. Kerr
Scott kicked him out—or he got
out before being kicked out. Gov
ernor Umstead put him back in.
These also-ran’s are sometimes
pretty important fellows. They
may be again come May 29.
We went tearing downstairs,
out to the street, and there saw
Brother Frank sure enough selling
John Park’s papers like hotcakes.
There was a joke in it, of course.
The Kiwanians here were selling
the paper to raise funds to send
orphans to the beach this summer.
Frank is a Kiwanian—and the Ob
server is hard, but clean, compe
tition.
CIRCULATION—The fact that
the Raleigh Times is the Observ
er's only local competition brings
to mind a story Josh Horne. Rocky
Mount Telegram publisher, de
lights in telling.
Said he had this heavy-drinking
shop man working for him on a
paper he owned one time. The
'employee was a good worker, but
got or. a good drunk each week
end—and thus was seldom on the
job Monday. Josh talked to him
about his sins occasionally, but to
no avail. The worker didn’t even
seem regretful for his drunken
ness and general debauchery. Fin
ally, Josh hit on an idea. The
next Tuesday when the drunk
came in. Josh lit into him. Told
him if he ever got drunk again
he was not only going to fire him
but would use the front page oi
the paper to tell the people just
how sorry he was.
"Guess that'll fix vou,” roared
Josh.
"Fix me, heck,” came back the
employee, "I can walk out of youi
danger! circulation in five min
utes.”

M1CAIAH WITHSTANDS
FALSE PROPHETS
I Kings 22:1-40.
Elijah did not stand alone as the
only prophet of Jehovah God;
there were others who did not bow
the knee to Baal and who were
true to the tradition of Samuel
an.; his school. The lesson before
us presented a true prophet who
was willing to suffer rather than
be untrue to his convictions and
the leadership of God’s Spirit.
I. The Desire to Have God's
Approval I’pon Man's Plans.
The relation between Judah and
Israel was more peaceful than it
had been during 60 years of sep
arate history. Jehoshaphat was
king of Judah and his son had
married the daughter of Ahab and
Jezebel. Jehoshaphat made a visit
to Ahab’s court in Samaria and
while there Ahab proposed that
they unite their forces and make
an expedition against the Syrians
and take Ramoth-gilead, an im
portant district east of the Jordan
which had been lost during the
reign of Omri. Jeshoshaphat ex
pressed his willingness to take
such an expedition but he wanted
the approval of Jehovah first.
It was the desire of King Ahab
to have the approval of God upon
the plans he had already made.
There is no indication that he was
willing to seek the will of God
before deciding what plans he
would make. It is often true that
man would like to have God merely
give indorsements to his little
plans rather than seek God’s will.
II. The False Prophets Approval.
The king summoned 400 prophets
to appear. Jehoshaphat and Ahab
robed themselves and sat on
thrones while the prophets were
brought in before them. Zedekiah
seems to have been the leader of
the prophets, so he plays his part
dramatically. He made horns of
iron and by this symbolically as
sured the king that the Syrians
would be completely destroyed.
When four hundred prophets spoke
with such assurance it was enough
to convince a worldly king that he
would be successful.
The false prophets were inter
ested primarily in pleasing the
king. Since there were four hun
dred of them, there is an indica
tion that they were followers of
Jezebel and Baal worship, or at
least they had been influenced by
the prophets of Baal. At any rate
they appear as mere "rubber
stamps” for the king. They had
sold out completely to the gospel
of expediency. They were inter
ested in their own well being and
had little concern for the truth
of God. There is nothing so small
as a prophet who speaks what men
want to hear. There is no evi
dence in this situation that the
prophets knew the Lord’s mess
age. They were false prophets
and false prophets always present
false messages because the mess
age grows out of the context of
being and is colored by one's char
acter.
III. The Message of the
True I’rophet.
Jehoshaphat. King of Judah, was
dissatisfied with the message of
the false prophet. He inquired if
there was not a prophet of Jehovah
at whose mouth they might not
seek counsel. Ahab had to confess
that there was one. Macaiah, the
son of Imlah. but he never spoke
good but evil concerning him.
Jehoshaphat sensed that Jehovah's
prophet was not among the four
hundred prophets. Perhaps the
king knew this because no prophet
had presented a message with a
"Thus, saith the Lord."
Macaiah was called into the pres
ence of the Kings. He had the
courage of his convictions to differ
with the other prophets. At first,
he ironically assured Ahab that
he would be successful, but Ahab
adjured him to speak the truth.
Macaiah affirmed that the other
prophets were filled with lying
spirits and that the king would
fall in the campaign. He said, "I
saw all Israel scattered upon the
hills, as sheep that have not a
shepherd; and the Lord said,
These have no master: let them
return every man to his house
in peace. (I Kings 22:17).
This declaration by the faithful
seer brought upon him the mock
ery and scorn of the other proph
ets. Zedekiah smote his cheek am
then asked him, “Which way went
the Spirit of the Lord from me
to speak unto thee?" This state
ment reveals the total depravity
of the worldly prophet. The faith
ful prophet suffered greater sev
erity from Ahab who ordered that
he be imprisoned in the city dun
geon and fed the scantiest diet.
But the prophet of God chose rath
er to suffer than speak a
false message and have the ap
proval of a king.
The prophets message was vin
dicated because Ahab went into
battle and was killed by the Syr
ians. Israel was scattered upon
the hills as sheep without a mas
ter. It is a tragedy that wicked
men will accept the message of
the false and bring suffering up
on the masses of innocent people.
A Thought On the Lesson.
It cost something to speak the
truth in every situation because
the temptation is to compromise
and say what is pleasing. It is only
normal and natural for the spirit
ual leader to want to be accept
able. But the most important
thing is to have God's approval.
History reveals that men who have
been willing to suffer instead of
being mere “Rubber stamps" have
changed the course of human his
tory. Put a John Bunvan in jail
and he will write "Pilgrims Pro
gness.’' Imprison Paul and he
will write letters to the churches
and change Caesar's household
with the Gospel. Burn John Huss
at the stake and he will set in
motion a New Testament message
that will flame into a Reformation.
Men may be punished and bound
for speaking the truth, but the
truth of God is not bound.
Isaac Martin entered Moore
YA hospital Tuesday for surgery.
my Sunday School class of Inter
mediates. then to the Women s cir
cle this afternoon, and later to a
friend I visited.
This friend lives out from town
about a mile and up on a hill- I
like to fto there not only t . see
he- but to enjoy the manxlou
view fr mi her hill. The sun was
hot an,: so before I reached the
hou«e. I sat down to "est in the
shad.- of a little scrub bush. There
stretched out before me was 1 a
trocinio. a long. narrow
spread out aiong the top ■- a
plateau. At one end of town is
the "Matrix" or Main Catho. c
church, near the center of town
is another large Catholic church,
and at the other end of town still
another. Between the first two.
right in the central part of town,
is our modest little Presbyterian
church. The building is dwarfed
bv the huge Catholic structures,
and as I think of the believers who
worship there it seem? that the
majority of them are poor—that
is. in worldly goods. But if 1
could tell you the stories of just
the most interesting of the testi
monies of those Christians,
would fill several volumes and
thrill your hearts. For instance,
the friend who lives on the hill.
She ha- been ill for years, but
during her sufferings she came
to know Christ as her Saviour. She
made her profession of faith last
November while in bed. and there
was little hope of recovery. How
ever. by Christmas she was up ami
about, and. though frail, was able
to look after her house and fam
ily. Recently she underwent a
successful operation and tonight
for the firs: time in years, she at
tended the evening worship in the
church. We had prayed for her
for so long that there was great
joy in the church tonight and we
offered a special prayer of thanks
giving to God for her presence
with us. What an inspiration this
humble Christian has been to the
rest of us. Quite poor, unable to
read or write, seriously ill for
years—she is one of the most ra
diant Christians I have ever seen.
I couldn't help seeing the con
trast when a lady came to our
door Saturday asking for alms.
With the food I gave her a tract,
"Why Did Jesus Die?" and asked
her if she knew why Jesus died?
Mistaking my purpose, she hastily
answered, "I didn’t go in the pro
cession yesterday because 1 was
sick, but I kneeled and prayed just
the same." (On Good Friday
there is a great procession ir
which thousands take part and ir
which is carried the casket and
figure of the dead Christ from
whom all expect a blessing.) 1
told the lady that neither had 1
gone in the procession, and thai
I couldn’t go in the procession be
cause I didn't believe that Chri-:
was dead, but alive—Friday, to
day, and forevermore!
Thank you, those of you whe
have been praying for the twe
families 1 mentioned in my las'
letter. One family moved away
and we have heard nothing from
them. The other, dona Maria, an.
senhor Gabriel, we are still visit
ing. though with no outward signs
of success. Please remember tc
pray for us who work with them
that we will not become discour
aged. You might add another dona
Maria to your prayer list—the
mother-in-law of our friend on the
hill, who has given herself sacri
fieially to her son’s family ir
their time of need, but who ha:
not yet accepted Christ h r pe
sonal Saviour.
There was a chili in the air thb
morning, and as I dressed an in
teresting thought came to me.
had automatically reached for my
suit—my four-year-old one — am
the first time the thought of whai
I would wear Easter Sunday cross
ed my mind. If I had been ai
home, it would have been one o!
the first preparations for the day
Here it was the last, and barely
that. Life is certainly differen
on the mission field!
May our Living Lord bless eacl
of you with a real sense of Hi:
presence.
Very sincerely yours.
