1t Is not without reason that the
Carroll county Aliens are referred 10
as the members of a clan. the nrs'
of their forbears who settled IN this
vicinity in Colonial times came OF
]Scotch-Irish stock-a strain often OF
sterling worth. but ever with a
touch of clannish family pride, and
usually with more han a touch OF pug
nacity, Impotence of restraint n
fighting courage.
In Revolutionary days what Is now
Carroll was Montgomery county. Vir-
ginia. One OF the members or the
Montgomery county militia who left
his pillow and his AK TO march across
the Blue Ridge in time 10 take part
in the battle OF Guilford Court House.
N. c.. was William Allen. The militia
deta chment marched across the Ridge
by way of the Fancy Gap road. the
same t~horoughfare over which armed
scouts have been s%currying 10 and fro
in search of this Revolutionary SOL
dier's scion, on whose head the out
ragged law has put a price.
As William Allen marched TO battle
he observed that the rolling land on
the far side OF The Fancy Gap was at
tractive. When the Revolutionary war
was over he and one OF his fellow SOL
diers settled there and so the Aliens
became established in the quarter
which they have ruled eve since like
feudal barons.

In this lesson Jesus maKes a still
further application. or rather gives US
another illustration Of the righteous.
ness OF his new kingdom, which must
be greater than that taught by the
Pharisees. We have studied the ga
cred relations OF the righteous life,
now We are to consider the matter OF
truth. We have first a paragraph from
Jesus, then an ethical teaching and ap.
plication from the writings OF James
the apostle.

earth which 1s his footstool. by Jeru.
salem which vas his peculiar chosen
city. They swore by the head n
yet they could not change one hair
white or black. Jesus contrasts all
or this with his new Kingdom IN
which absolute simple velacity in our
speech is all that is to be required.
This makes all oaths protane When
men live in these new relations, with
this new CONSCIOUSNESS Of God they
will speak the truth naturally and OF
necessity. To such there will be no
need for any rolm OF speech or oath,
for the simplest. plainest speech will
be the only necessary and the alto
gether satisfactory medium OF giving
and OF creating assurance. How about
oaths in court?,. Jesus is speaking to
the members OF his new kingdom. Be
tween them yea and nay is sufficient,
but as between them. and others we
must adjust ourselves and therefore
we do not read into this any admoni
ton not to take an oath in court.
