From "How Far to Ilethlehein?' A GOOD 8TART ' A Merchants Association will bo a big asset to Kings Mountain. This organization will tvot only mean a great deal to the merchants but also the customers who p&trbnlze those: merchants- becauso tlurough <0-0peat Ion the merchants can render bot-i ter service and the customer tn the! er.d will gain. It twill also promote a friendly feeling between the business men] who are striving for the same end? | to build Kings Mountain as a trading center. We were well pleased with the enthusiasm at the organization meeting Tuesday night. With that spirit continuing Kings Mountain will soon be able to boast of an association as good as the best. To the officers, we say congratulations. You are pulling In the' right direction. Faith Does More Than Move Mountains Read Matthew 17:14-21 While Jesus nnd three of His disciples were on the Mount where the transfiguration took place the oiher men were trying to heal a lad of some ec <J:uS trouble. They failed. When Jesus came down He took the Kav onri honlpfl Him Thnir urn ok mss be' is thus rebuked they asked for an explanation. The answer was a further rebuke, "you failed because of your, unbelief." Then - He said to them, "If ye have faith as -i - grain of mustard seed" you could > - tell that mountain to move nnd it wotdd do so. Well who wants to move a mountain? Plenty of people and many have done so. But no man ever moved a mountain who did nor have fifth. Faith is more than a fool -for lazy people who only wish. There are greater mountains to be movedi than one of dirt and i/>ck. Faith is still removing tin an. Look thnough your Now Testament and (the records concerning Jesus, see what j-fUtce faith played. 'According to your faith be it unto ' you." Look through. Mour expert er ces of daily life, see what place faith plays in all you <k>. See what place It has played in every new ' v discovery Hn every fl?fd of life. See how Indispensable H is to liie. Hard tests in life do not shatter faith, they deepen It. They do how ever often Teveal to us the fact, that we never had faith, that hi, not the k.*Ud Jesus here talks about. Hardship Is cultivation tor His kind. However tt. is really hard for soma people tly have faith fh God because of their own conduct. There are some things we ca-nft hold to aired do - and at the sasne time have fa.' "i.

Lynch The Men's Bible Class of tho Methodist Church has mors Charlies in it than any other organization in town. There are Charlies, iWairlick, Goforth, Dilling, Williams, Hullender and one or two more. And talking about denominations. There are quite a few Baptists ' in this neck of the woods. I alwavs knew they were plentiful but not until the organization meeting of the Merchants Association Tuesday night lid I realize just how plentiful they really .were. Baptist Keeter was elected President, Baptist Bridges, Vice President, Baptist Hord, Temporary Secretary and Treasurer, ar.d the two best speeches were made by Baptist Woodward and Cog gins. More power to you Baptists, you are The Herald's nearest neighr bor. I had the opportunity yesterday of checking up on the piose observers whom I contacted. I' had my muscoucbe shaved off. I usually have this operation performed once a year. Well, I left the Barber Shop and my first stop was at Myers' Department Store and quick as a flash he noticed it; Mrs. Bryan Hord also observes the missing lecoration. Then I marched on down to the First National. CaShier Neill, Glee Bridgts and ArjinJrlnKifir mi-di ml'nmid la asaunii sation, but not too much for Glee to exclaim: "it's gone.' Later on In the day Postmaster Blakely spotted 'em through the window. As a rule my better half is the last person to notice the difference in my facial ap pearance but this time as I came in the doer she noticed ' the absence.

However ? will never germt nate and grow unless pieced In pror er surroundings. Faith works upor. the same principle. It does not live and grow under just any conditions It takes the sunshine of God's presence, the dews and" the rains of His grace. You can't save faith by free* ing It. Faith does not need saving or defending. We need the suvlnv end only by faltli can we be. Ji saves because it puts us in the cl' mate of the Spiritual, connects us with God through His Son. Here ia a mountain greater than Henr.on, C'armei or any other in Palestine or any part of the world It is the mountain of selfishness Yet there is not any individual who lias falih in Christ (th<> kind Jesu was talking about) but who not only removes that mountain fiom hif own heart, but helps others to d'> (he "same thing. Feit'.'i that can tran form selfishness into unselfishness is doing more thin removing dirt and tock mountains. If any readei doubts that faith in Christ does this very, thing we .'iivtte him to search and Fnd out. Pe this by cam'ng to Jesus and making a test for himself, not by what evil he may sjh c. ci.

It Is for only those -who want it. What the People Ask of Congress By RAYMOND PITCAIRN In the opinion of competent observers a long and significant session confronts the new Congress. " n Many serious problems press for solu. tion?among them reduction of the burden lmpoced on all workers by reckless public spending and a mounting national debt, resumption by Congress of its former Initiative and authority, the divorce of politics from relief, and sound preparation for adequate national defense. These and vartoos others are specific problems whldh demand individual action. Together they constitute part of a stm more significant responsibility ?the preservation and strengthening of oar American ideal of democracy. On the way in which members of Congress, and other officials at Washington, meet that responsibility may de Iiwiu inuui ui i*n course of niiwry. But, u recent events have demon* strated, such responsibility cannot be fulfilled by a program devoted to nqme-t calling and the engendering af .antagou* Isms between groups of our cltUeni. It cannot be met by policies of political expediency, planned only to aid partisan Interests and ambitions. America has grown sad advanced through unity, cswftdcnro sad selfreliance.

WHAT HAS GONE BEFORE | White playing, the piano at a party, beautiful Ka.v Kerrigan receives word that her young sister ties' committed suicide. Knowing that dissolute Thomas Bruhm is responsible, she goes to his apartment, where there are signs that Bmhm is entertaining another woman. As a sarcastic answer to her reproaches Bruhm offers her a pistol, and in her frenzy she fires at Rim. Not knouHng that the pistol is a blank she flees, leaving her handbag and imagining herself a murderer. Later that night, . however, Bruhm is actually killed by someone else. Finding Kay's bag, the police broadcast a* alarm for her. She escapes by plunging her car from a ferry, and manfu/es to get to Honolulu where she has her hair dyed from blonde to brunette. The Chief of Detectives decides that since this is . , a case involving a woman the man to send after her is Bam Wye, light-hearted specialist in fcmale fugitives.

Of course they had nod to wean 8am from his private investigator's oAoe, and also from the important case be was working on at the time?a gorgeous blonde who drank champagne while Sam begged her to let him walk along the stars with her.

It Is advisable to sow Italian rye grass with the Bermuda roots to provide a quick liwi) and 'hold the soil until the Bermuda gets started. While September and October arc the best months- for sowing grass seed, the lawirs cm be started In the spring, esfieciuily in the inc.until In sections.. been there but had Rone on to Shanghai looking for work?off to Shanghai! Blodgett couldn't see it. In Shanghai' it was the same thing, 6nly the girls were Russian. A beautiful blonde in a rickshaw and a beautiful brunette.?In a rickshaw. And here Sam developed a curious routine. Riding around with the girls he would stop at music shops and invariably play the same Chopin prelude on the piano?always with the wrong ending. At last, after a clerk in one shop had told Sam about an English girl who had been In recently looking for work and had played the same piece, Blodgett learned to his bewilderment that they were on their way to Indo-Chlna? Saigon. On the day of thelf arrival there Kay Kerrigan was counting the last of the money she had obtained from selling her rings. Her hunt for a job was fruitless, for even the cheapest caf6 In Saigon would not hire an entertainer without a police cord. That same night Blodgett rushed breathlessly to where Sam was playing his Chopin prelude for some Annamlte girls. "I got her, - Sam!", ho cried. "I got Kerrigan! Caught her redhanded in the lobby, smoking a Marlch!" # # , It turned out to be Jeanie. The "Kay Kerrigan" Blodgett had caught with the Marich was Sam's teautiful than he had eopacted. Jeanie. Sam's first reaction was simply to quote the polite form , for Africa. "Dr. Livingstone, I pre- 1 sume," he said eyeing her calmly. But he thought: '"Why Is she here?" He knew that Jeanie, despite ' her eccentricities, had as many police contacts as he did, and he knew also from her attitude that she hadnt come for his sake. Tenderness had Its usual effect After a few kisses .Jeanie was confessing everything. The Bruhm estate was offering a reward of 1100,000 for the capture of Kerrigan, and Jeanie knew that Kerrigan was here?under the name of Mary Holden. But she must have her half, she warned. "Of course," Sam said quickly. But this stuff Jeanie had about Kerrigan sailing for Singapore was onljr a blind. He happened to iujww uuu. Atrnnn aid lULTtdd for th? Interior.
