PICKING HIS MARKET
Jesus’ preaching was almost inci
dental. On only one occasion did he
deliver a long discourse, and that
was probably interrupted often by
questions and debates. He did not
come to establish a theology but to
lead a life. Living more healthfully
than any of his contemporaries. He
spread health wherever He went.
Thinking more daringly, more di
vinely, He expressed himself in
thoughts of surpassing beauty, as
naturally as a plant bursts into
bloom. His sermons, if they m,ay be
called sermons, were chiefly explana
tory of His service. He healed a
lame man, gave sight to a blind man,
fed the hungry, cheered the poor;
and by these works He was adver
tised much more than by His words.
The church, which covets adver
tising and receives little, is much
more faithful in such good worlf than
the man on the street suspects. Most
of our colleges were founded under
its inspiration; moat of our hospitals
grew out of. and are supported by
its membership; the ideals that ani
mate all civic enterprises are its
ideals; and its members furnish to
such movements the most dependable
support. More than this, the day by
day life of any genuine pastor is a
constant succession of healings and
helpings, as any one who has been
privileged to grow up in a minister's
family very well knows. The door
bell rings at breakfast-time: it rings
at dinner-time; it rings late at night
—and every ring means that some
one has come to cast his burden up
on the parsonage. A man comes
blinded by his greed or hatred «>r
fear—he opens his heart to the pas
tor. and goes away having received
his sight. A parent whose child is
dead in selfishness, comes leading
the child by the hand. And some
times the preacher is able to touch
the withered veins of conscience and
life becomes normal and wholesome
again. A man out of work whose
family is hungry, knocks timidly at
the parsonage door. And somehow,
from the parson’s few loaves and
fishes, the other family is fed.
These are Jesus' works, done in
Jesus’ name. If He were to live
again, in these modern days. He
would find a way to make them
know—to be advertised by His ser
vice. Dot merely by His sermons.
One thing is certain: He would not
neglect the market-place. Few of
His sermons were delivered in syna
gogues. For the most part He was
in the crowded places, the Temple
Court, the city squares, the centers
where goods were bought and sold.
I emphasized this fact once to a
group of preachers.
State Legislature
Adjourns After 4
Months Hard Work
(Continued From Page One)
principals were reduced in consider
ation of the financial condtion of the
state.
After a long, drawnout fight, the
legislature adjourned in a spirit of
friendship and good feeling.
We quote from the correspondent
of the Greensboro News, the follow
ing article relating to our represen
tative:
“The house went into ecstacies
over its dean, "'Rufus A. Doughton,
of Alleghany, and spread a resolu
tion of respect to his honor. The
grand old man rose grandly to the
hour. He began coining to Raleigh

governor in 1893, served to 1S9 7.
returning in 1907 and remained tin
il 1923 without interruption. Dur-1
mg most of these years he was
eharman of the finance committee. ;
“Mr. Doughton rates this assem
bly the equal of any be ever attend
ed. It will be his last he said, a
breat that he has been making 29
years. He told bow hard it had
been for .him to vote a sales tax,
but North Carolina looked bigger to
him than any notions that he had as
to forms of taxation.
“He was certain that tile State's
loiior and integrity have been well
preserved. The temper of the par
iament has been fine, the assault
rm motives has been too feeble to
amount to much. He was confident
that any member of this legislature
an go home and defend his course
to the satisfaction of the public He
did not believe that public would b?
unjust. He was a little religious.
He doubted that even in a special
session all the members would be
back. But he hoped to meet them
in another forum in which shrieks
for the previous question would not
disturb.”

FAMILY DOCTOR
(By John Joseph Gaines, M. D.)
A LESSON
I wish it had not happened, for
it makes me sad to think of it. But
t is true in every partcular, for I
know of the incident first-hand.
A little boy of about nine took an
acute attack of appendicitis. The
diagnosis was unquestioned, for a
fine surgeon was called—he advised
immediate operation. The father re
belled stubbornly; “I don’t want no
cuttin’ done,’ he said with finality.
The surgeon returned to his place of
business.
Four days later the same surgeon
-—a man of eminence—was called
hurriedly to see the boy; he had
grown much worse. The doctor
found him with cold, clammy ex
tremeties, thready pulse, dilated pu
pils, swollen enormously in the body
—epitonitis!
A glance was enough; the boy was
dying. “He can’t live another hour,”
the surgeon said quietly; “it’s no
use trying the impossible.”
The father wrung his hands and
begged the doctor to do something—
operate—anything. He writhed in
despair with his unreasonable re
quests. But it was too late.
The doctor was in deadly earnest
when he spoke to that fathei a
bitter lesson was to be studied. “I
calk'd here and told you what should
be done.” he said: "you didn’t want
me to do what 1 knew should be
done. You wanted to temporize—
1 hoped the child might get well, in
spite of my better judgment. You
refused to listen—you are responsi
ble for this child’s death!”
Which was too true. So many
people step in front of the trained
physician. The boy could have been
saved, but the one in authority ob
jected. What do we learn from this? j

Relieves Women’s Pains
Here is an example of how Cardui
has helped thousands of women:
"I was very thin and pale,”
writes Mrs. F. H. Scott, of Roa
noke, Va. “I suffered from weak
ness and a severe pain in my back.
This pain unnerved me, arid I did not
feel like doing my work. I did not
care to go places, and felt worn, tired,
day after day. „ . ,
“My mother had taken Cardui. end
on seeing my condition she ad'ised
me to try it. I have never regretted
doing so. I took three bottles and it
built me up. T gained in weight, my
color was better and the pain left my
back. I am stronger that: I had
been in some time.”
Cardui is sold by local druggists.
"Believe me, I know a
low price when I see one—
I I’m buying my tires NOW!”
Right now Goodyear is concentrating on two
main lines of tires . . . This saves money for
the factory that builds them — for the dealer
who sells them — and for the car owner who
buys them ., . If you want to know how real
these savings are — and how much they
mean to you — just check up on today’s
price of the size you need, and at the same
time take a careful look at the finest quality
that ever honored the Goodyear name . . .
This stepping up of quality, this stepping
down of price leads the way to a better deal
for everyone — and that’s what we all want
now ... Best of all — it means that everyone
can afford new Goodyear Tires, especially if
you buy now while prices are still low.
