GIVE HER A HOOVER SWEEPER FOR CHRISTMAS WHAT WOMAN WOULDN’T BE PLEASED WITH A HOOVER? WHAT WOMAN DOES NOT DE SERVE A HOOVER? IT WILL KEEP the HOME CLEAN and MAKE YOU BOTH HAPPY. LINEBERGER’S PHONE 97. SHELBY, N. C. WHAT OTHERS SAY! May not ALWAYS be correct, but public opinion of people and firms is formed in three ways— By the things they do— By the things they say— And by what OTHERS SAY. And of these three, what OTHERS SAY counts very largely. The customers served by THE UNION TRUST COMPANY at its home office and at the three prosperous and thriving branches, namely: Lattimore, Lawndale and Fallston Say that the UNION TRUST COMPANY is proving a great help and convenience. Ask any customer who deals with the UNION TRUST COMPANY And they are constant in their praise of their success, their management, their courtesy, their convenience, their business dealings and their appreciation of their customers. If you haven’t opened an account with a Union Trust Co. Bank you are cordially invited to do so. UNION TRUST CO. f • Resources Over One Million Dollars. <3—— * SPIRIT OF CHRISTMAS By R&v Alan Pressley Wilson _ <©. 3 *24. Western Newapapvr Union.) reminded T CHH1STMAS be merry, and withal. And t>art thy poor neigh bor*, the great with the small. So wrote the poet Tusser many years ago, but the suggestion Is Just its perti nent today as It was then. If anything, we need to be of our tffity to'our fellow man more today than our fathers did —more today, Imtocd, than ever be fore. This is true because the need for brotherhood is even more patent than at any other period of the history of the world. We live in an age when we thfnk solvly of ourselves and our immediate families anti we should have brought to our attention the fact that we owe a debt to pur neighbor and that that debt must lie paid. The story la told of a rich man who prayed— Oh, Lord! bless me and my wife. Wy son, John, and his wife; L'h four And no more! We hltish for shame that there could be found one who is so narrow, yet I | am assured tiint such people exist to day. There are those who, when they have satisfied the needs of their otvp. assume a self-satisfied air and say that they have done their whole duty. Approach such a person and remind him of the need of a friend or a neigh bor and he will ask the time-worn question: “Am I my brother’s keeper? Haven't I enough to do to look after my own family?” The teachings of Jesus Christ answer the first question iu the affirmative (and the latter in the negative) with even more emphasis than Hod answered Cain when he originated the selfish inquiry. Jesus taught that the Decalogue la summed up In tbc greater commandment— “Thou Shalt love they neighbor as thy self,” and His definition of “neighbor” Is any one who needs our help. Ter ritorial or other limitations do not ap ply when th^ ease of one in need Is before us. There Is no geographical limitation when we are extending the hand of assistance to one who needs our help: ine spirit or cnnstmat. wherever there Is found one or more whom we can (and should) assist, there neighborliness must begin. A minister once approached one of his parishioners with the request for a contribution for the purpose of do ing Christian work abroad. The par ticular field he had In mind was China. The man replied that he was willing to help his neighbors but did not think lie was called upon to help those as far away as China. “Whom do you consider your neigh bor?” asked the minister. ‘‘The man whose farm adjoins me,” was the prompt reply. “How far down into the earth does your land extend?” was the next question and the farmer Juat as promptly answered: “To the center 1” "Very well,” said the min ister quickly, “There Is a man down In China whose land Joins yours at the center of the earth ; he is therefore your neighbor and needs your help.” This was a new thought to the slow going church member. He learned his lesson and we need to learn the same. Only as we do so will we be able to broaden our lives Into the fullness of the life of Jesus the Christ. The application of the teaching of Jesus to business and society wonld produce a perpetual Christmas season; a time of peace and Joy and happiness lasting throughout the year. The giving of cheap presents or money, however, does not constitute Christmas; as well expect a bouquet of flowers (however lovely) to consti tute summer! The Christmas spirit, rather than the Christmas show, hon ors Him whose birth, no less than His life, was the greatest Christmas gift the world has ever received. The Christmas spirit brings us Into closer touch with Him whose very life was an exemplification of the precept: "It is more blessed to give than to re ceive.” As we celebrate the anniversary of the birth of Jesus let not the going down of the son mark the decline of the Christmas spirit bnt, as the days come and go, and we enter the new year, let us each one reach out the loving had to the sick, the unfortu nate and the outcast, remembering that Tesus the Christ said: “Inasmuch as ye have done It unto the least of one it these, my brethren, ye have done «t unto Mel’* Change All Into Love Christmas day shall change all griefs and quarrels into love.—Shake speare. Mr. Charlie Woodson, representa tive in this territory of A. Nash Tail oring Qe., is spending the week here. WEEKLY MARKET NOTES Raleigh,—“A few year? ago Nortk Carolina had the reputation of send ling' the worst lot of stuff received in the groat eastern markets. Now it is one of the best states shipping truck” writes one large commission house in New York to Commissioner W. A. Crahnm. ft i3 felt that the educational work of the state division of markets is helping to bring this about. The dl vision has sought to impress the ne cessity of more rigid grading, making good packs and of establishing brands easily recognized because of their ex cellence. Field agents or the state division of markets note that the poultry indus try of North Carolina is now getting on a business basis bv the organiza tion of a strong State Poultry associa tion. These who wish to join should take up the matter with Dr. B. F. Kaupp, secretary, Ruleigh, N. C. "The greatest trouble with eggs from North Carol! nais that they come in dirty containers such as old crates with ol dflllers. Sometimes the eggs themselves are dirty and ungraded,w writes one large egg dealer to V. W. Lewis, livestock marketing specialist. Mr. Lewis suggests that egg produc ers organize into community, county and state groups to do away with such conditions in the industry. The State seed laboratory will help those who have soybeans and cowpeas for sale in Virginia and South Caro lina by showing Tarheel growers how they may comply with the rigid laws governing the sale of these tw6 pro ducts in the twp states. All eowpeas and soybeans sent into these states must be certified as to the percentage of germination and purity before they are allowed entry. Scriptures For A Cent. Literary Digest. Not. long ago an early edit'on of the Bible was sold in New York for $50,006, the highest price ever paid for any book. About the same time the American Bible Society announc ed that it had recHved an order for 1,500,000 copies of the Scriptures to be sold at one cent apiece. The range between the prices tells a story. In spite of the light fiction tonnage an nually thrown on the market, the Bi ble is still supreme as the best-seller. In eight years, we are told by E. E. Wilson, in Farm and Fireside, the sale of Harold Bell Wright’s books, the second best-sellers, has reached 10, 000,000 whereas, in the same period more than 240,000,000 copies of the Bible have been sold. At the present rate of distribution, says a writer in The New York Times, the whole world may be supplied before the end of the century. Of last year’s total, about one-fourth was the output of the American Bible Society, which, since its birth 18 years ago, has is sued almost 160,000,006 volumes of Scriptures. For the second time in its h'story the society last year ex ceeded the 7,000,000-copy mark, an in crease of 2,500,000 over the previous year. No book even approaches the Bible in the number of translations. The Scripture, says the writer, has been printed in 175 tongues by the American Bible Society alone, and the total -number of languages and dialects represented is more than four times that figure. As to the domestic circulation, we are told that: “In theUnited States circulation of Scriptures was almost doubled last year. Through the Massachusetts Bi ble Society alone a quarter of a mil lion copies in 42 languages were dis tributed. But this country falls aev* eral hundred thousand short of the Chinese demand. The AmuifUmn Bible Society issued there two and a half million Bibles last year, an increase over the previous year of more than half a million. In fact, one-half of its 7,000,000 volumes went to the Orient In country after country, the figures have risen for the American Society alone. Similar accounts ome from So ieties of France—through which a Bi ble is given away at every French marriage, or first communion whop so desired—the Belgian Gospel Mis sion, the Evangelical Society of Ge neva, and many others." The circulation of Scriptures through the American Bible Society represents the services, we are told, of 3,000 persons, about three-fourths of whom labor in foreign lands. From them come many interesting stories one of which we give: “In the course of his travels from the Persian Gulf to Cairo last year i representative of the American Bi ble society stopped to present a spe cial copy of the Arabic Bible, beauti fully printed and bound at the Beirut Press, to King Feisal. There where be keeps the books he really uses lay i copy of the Bible, New Testament included, that had been presented to rum by the Jews of Bagdad. “Truly, a remarkable channel for propagating the Gospel of Jesus Christ,” commented the emissary ‘from a Jewish community to their Moslem King.” Among the year’s spectacular feat# of strength let us not overtook Cal vin’s remarkable performance in get ting afainting elephant back on its feet.—Detroit I'tews.
