The Times which apparently does
not have q very well developed sense
Of humor this morning printed the fol
lowing as part OF its report Of the Mon
day meeting Of the Board of Affairs:
A tight-rope walker called at
the city building yesterday asking
permission to stretch rope
across Main street between any
two buildings to give an exhibit
ton.
He was not permitted and city
officials were disguised at the way
SO many people think FairmoIt is
a rube town. The general method
OF ughtropers Is to have several
pickpockets along who can oper-
ate when everybody is looking up.
Recently carnival company
tried every scheme known to force
the city 10 let them show in the
streets.
They were told It was against
the ordinance and that such af-
airs were but remaindors Of out
worn history.
People who daily pass under the
Wilson club banner must have smiled
broadly over that statement. they
were told It was against the ordi.
nance"
The tight rope gentleman took his
application to the wrong place. The
Democratic gang and not the Board
OF Affairs runs this town, as the vii.
son club banner incident conclusively
proves. The gang protects bootleg.

PALM SUNDAY OBSERVED
AT FIRST M. E. CHURCH

Palm sunday was appropriately
observed at the First " +. church
sunday morning when Dr. Henry L.
Davis. pastor Of the church. deliver
ed an address on the subject The
Kingship OF Jesus
The church was decorated with
palms Of flowers. and special music
was given by the choir.
A description OF the entry Of
Christ into Jerusalem was given by
Dr. Davis in which he spoke of the
elements Of kingship as seen by the
people. the elements OF kingship as
taught by Christ and the manner in
which the people accepted the king
snip.
The people showed their mani
festation upon the entry OF the
Savior into their city by strewing
palm branches in His path and by
shouting glory hallelujah TO Him.
The LOrdship of Jesus Christ was not
gained by His forensic ability nor
by His great appeals TO the mobs,
but through His power Of love. He
believed little in outward manifesto
ton. His conception Of power was
invisible.
Jesus ignored wrath as "a means
to power, He had no place 20 lay
His head He had power because of
His teaching and work over multi
tudes. but He never took advantage
Of it. When they in the spirit of
the work would have made Him
king He forbad them.
The power by which He was TO
rule men was that Of love and sacri-
flee When on Palm Sunday the peo-
pie heard the shoutings and saw the
wild exhileration Of the crowd. Jesus
heard already the hammer strokes
that would drive the nails through
His hands and feet"
