The pain that sometimes strikes
man at the most importune nom.
ent is due to indigestion. 1t may

reminder that he may not eat what
he chooses, nor when he chooses.
He is o slave to the weakness of his
stomach. A mans health and
strength depends upon what he gets
out of his food. This depends on
ish digestion. Remove the obstruc-

JESUS DIVINE AUTHORITY. John s.:
1921: Read the whole Chapter.
GOLDEN TExT-1This is indeed
the Christ, the Savior OF the world"
John 4: AZ.
There stands man, who for thir
ty years has been helpless dependent,
restored in body and soul What q
blessing that Jesus passed that Sab
bath day beside the Bethesds pool
and asked, swift thou be made
whole?n
But why these.angry Jews, who
with lowering brows. and threatning
mien declare the Holy Law Broken?
"This is the Sabbath day. they
murmur. sit must be kept holyr'
Oh, blind prejudice, refusing to see
in the Healer His Divine power; the
loving, sympathizing spirit prompt
ing the deed; and the good wrought
for the poor suffererl
Above the din of angry voices
rises the clear, calm word of Jesus,
"My Father worketh even unto now
and I work." Short-sighted Jews
does not the Creator hold tue world
in the hollow of His hand on the
Seventh day, as at other times? Are
the movements of Nature suspended
once week?
'.Oh day of rest and gladness,
o day ofjoy and light.
Oh balm of care and sadness.
Most beautiful and bright"
Well did the Creator know the
needs Of man, and ordained one
weekly day OF rest and changel
How precious on this day to turn
the thoughts from the sordid cares
and duties of life; and rest at His
feetl How inspiring to enter His
courts, and join with the worship
ing throng OF Gods childrenl How
sweet, in loving tenderness to ex-
tend to other, less favored, the
blessings we daily epjoyi
May its precious hours be spent
not on selfish sinful indulgence but
in such ways as will best honor the
Oliver.
But who are those angry hateful
Jews honoring the Sabbath before
the God who gave it? What care
they for the Law, when their real
purpose is to convict this Jesus?
When the spirit of Jesus actuates
mankind, the law is best obeyed;
conformity with the letter only is
not true obedience.
How little these few think, as
they so confidently condemn the
Sabbath Healer, that the day is
coming when they shall stand at
His judgment bari
Better that life be spent in doing
the will of God and have His loving
spirit, than in idly wrangling over
disputed doctrines. Better the I'M
questioning faith of the infirm man
at the pool, listening to tie words
of Jesus, 81 say unto you, He that
heareth My word and believeth Him
that sent Me, hath eternal life, than
the zeal OF the Jews for tie letter OF
the Law. Better the new life than
the old form. Better to save others
here and find an eternal Sabbath .
rest here after, than selfishness here
and an eternity of regret

The exercises were then opened, and

Modern Masonry as it is Exemplified

He gave graphic account of the two
systems of Masonry, operative md
speculative, and his historical! narrative
was highly interesting.

'The principal evidences Of Masonic

the worship of God.
"As Grecian art. manners and lam
guages were propagated throughout the
world, the system of Masonry accom-
panied them. In the full glare of light.

fiourished. There is no dark point in
the Masonic compass. It's needle even
points to the light.
"a word as to the origin of our name
Free and Accepted" When architec
ture was cultivated as an exclusive
science, it's professors became more eX-
pert than those nations who
practiced Masonry as Il universal sys-
tenn. Hence when Solomon had de.
termined to erect temple to the living
God he was obliged to apply to the
Tyrians who were then the most expert
builders in the world. The Israelites
were not ignorant Of that art. AT the
building of this temple, the chief archi-
tect was widows son of the tribe
Of Naphtoli and consequently an
Israelite by his mothers side, though
his father was a man of Tyre. He had
been brought up under the patronage of
Abibulus, the father Of Hiram, King of
Tyre, and he was beyond all competition
the best designer and artifcer Unon
earth.
This temple was acknowledged By all
nations to be the utmost effort of human
genius. In the construction the grams
deur of the two systems was blended,
and it was constructed under the super
vision of the wisest speculative Mason,
he strongest operative Mason, and the
most beautiful designer.

HON. JOSIAH TURNER.
The State Should Place a Portrait OF
Him in the library or Capitol.

I1kiH al the 1iUEdtA VI CuL5itbis
To the Editor: We do not appreciate
the rapidity with which the wheel of
time revolves. There are men thirty
years of age-perhaps some of them
members of the present Legislature-who
know little or nothing Of the service Cap
tain Turner rendered the State in the
darkest days of her history, viz: 1868
to 1870. That history correctly written
would prove his service greater than
that of any other son whom the State
has produced. If there had not been
the work, which he did, in short,
if there had been no Josiah Turner in
those days the wreck would have left
little worth saving.
In 1865, in the days Of Andy Johnson
Reconstruction, many men who had been
honored by the State and recognized as

ed the campaign against him. which
resulted in the candidacy and election
of the noble old Roman, Jonathan
Worth, of blessed memory among the
people of North Carolina. When Capt
Turner began his operations friend
and former political associates said To
him that ''many of your friends do not
approve of your opposition to Holden. ="
He replied: II know those do not who
arc tickling Holden with the idea of be-
ing Governor while he tickles them
with the idea of Congressman or Judge. )"
But for his efforts it is almost beyond
contradiction that North Carolina would
have been disgraced by the election of
Holden in 1866. The speech which he
delivered and which was printed and
CIRCULATED in that campaign is an import
ant document in the history of those
times-1S67f70
In 1867, when the Sherman Shella-
barger Reconstruction came and the

sary that some discretion be given the

thought that it might be necessary to
extend the discretion even to the eXenp-
ton of certain lines. He did not think
that two votes would entail any great
hardship on the roads.
Mr.. Council said the railroads had all
shown a disposition to accede to any
thing reasonable. 1t would be wiser TO
meet on conservative grounds this year
and trust to the future to correct any
imperfections. 1t is expected that a
Railroad Commission will be chosen that
will have the confidence of all. To say
that they would not deal fairly in ex-
empting lines was crossing a stream be-
fore reaching it. The law would destroy
n number of small roads in Western
Carolina if vigorously enforced against
all roads. Before he would vote for a
bill to put hardships upon the small
roads he would vote against the whole
bill. He thought the substite came as
near meeting the wishes of all as any
BILL
Judge Allen moved that a vote be
taken on separate propositions, taking
first the question as to whether there
should be separate cars.
Mr.. Rountree said he did not wish to
commit himself to the general PROPOSE
ton until he knew whether the law
would be just. He favored first and
second class cars for each race with the
privilege for the conductor to put first
class passengers of each race in second
class cars for that race. He wished
to postpone consideration for a few
days.
Judge Allen did not think postpone
ment would be advisable. He opposed
the one rate proposition.
Senator Ward moved that it be the
sense of the committee that there should
be separate cars, provided satisfac-
tory bill could be framed. The motion
was carried by unanimous vote.
Judge Allen moved that sub-com-
mittee of three be appointed TO draft
a bill and submit it on Thursday of
this week at 8 p. m. Representative
Patterson, of Caldwell. Senator Jerome
and Judge Allen, of Wayne, were APP

The Right Remedy Will

If you would forever be rid of

times the tortures produced by
Rheumatism, you must take the
right remedy. Those who con-

remedies which do not reach their
trouble. The DOCTORS treatment
always consists of potash and
