Say Libby
Can Set
Will Aside

SoAi'"y Ia ySlo, LII SOlIllllSlle-
ing to a Watchman reporter, ex.
pressed doubts as to the validity o.
the SnnsA Rssaoiids viii, filed fol
probate IN Sew York, and listee
six major reasons.
The young tobacco heir was kill
ed at the Reynolds family estate
in Winston-Salem July 6. Hi.
Broadway bride, Libby Holman
Reynolds, and friend, Alb Walker
are charged with numbering him.
Lawyers Give Reasons
Reason given by attorneys fol
doubling the validity of the viii
are:
l. North Carolina statutes dc
not permit a minor to make a valid
will. Reynolds was under Fl when
he made the will.
2. Provisions of the will of R.
]. Reynolds, founder of the estate
provide his son would not inherit
from him until he was 2S years
old. He was to receive only $780,
900 a year until then.
3. Reynolds married Libby Hol-
man after the will was drawn up.
Under North Carolina law the
wife may disaflrm the will and in
herit as if no will was made
which provides the wife in any
event must receive one-third her
husbands real and personal pro-
perty.
4. Corpus of the estate lies in
North Carolina, Maryland and
New Jersey, and the estate must be
disposed of according to the laws
of those States.
5. Doubt as to legality of Anne
Cannon's (Reynolds' first wife)
signing away her infant daughters
claim to her fathers estate.
E. Doubt as to the uccess of the
attempt in the will to establish
that Smith Reynolds was a legal
resident of New York instead of
North Carolina.
Also it was pointed out that if
Libby Holman has a child within
ten months of the death of Smith
Reynolds, the will would be in
valid, as the will would tend, in
effect, to disinherit that child.
If Walker or Libby are convict
ed of anything in connection with
Reynolds death, they cannot in
herit, under North Carolina law,
evn though Walker is specially
mentioned, attorneys said.
Some lawyers said Miss Holman
was entitled to a dover third under
North Carolina law. They said her
expected child, and Reynolds
daughter by a previous marriage,
might share in the fund.
The will was executed August
81, 1881, and listed Reynolds as a
New York resident. At that time
the tobacco heir, who was plan
ming an airplane trip around the
world, had a cottage near Miss
Holman's Port Washington Il. y
home. They were married the fol-
lowing. November.

Sunday School Lesson
Rev. Hugh T. Stevenson.

had revealed Gods presence, power and
purpose, but he needed to know Gods
name as an evidence Of his commission
and to aid in making Him known
among the Egyptians and the Israelites.
Gods Name Revealed.
Moses request for complete informa-
ton concerning Gods character and
purpose was met Immediately by Him.
He told Moses that II am that am" !"
In contrast with the materialistic faith
of the Egyptians gods, Moses could see
the character of God, revealed by His
name, was absolute, self-existent and
personal His unlimited power would
be demonstrated by the miracles that
He would enable Moses to perform
through the use of the shepherds rod.
Pharaoh and the Egyptians, as well as
the Israelites, would become filled with
fear at that rod. because 1t would speak
to them of Gods power.
The 'I am" of Moses had a peculiar
relation to the Hebrew slaves, for He
was the Lord God of their fathers,
the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. "
No wonder-when that self-revelation of
God was made that Moses held his face
and was afraid to look upon the face
of Jehovah. Moses had his faith aroused
and encouraged by Gods promised
presence and assurance of victory; he
was willing to go, knowing that he
would face difficulties, but confident OF
results.
Aaron, his brother, was to be found
and become his spokesman The blue
print Of the work Moses had entrusted
to him called for him to assemble the
leaders Of the Hebrews and win their
confidence and approval. He was as
sured that they would listen to him, be-
cause he was Gods ambassador COM
missioned to deliver them from bondage
and lead them to the promised land.
In approaching the court, Moses was to
expect that they would not be willing
to permit the departure Of the Israelites
from their land. He was ordered to
present a request in Gods name to
Pharaoh that he permit the people OF
Israel to go and sacrifice to II am that
1 am" in the wilderness. Moses was
to insist that the Hebrews had q right
to worship their God and corteously
request that privilege be recognized by
Pharaoh.
While the whole program of Gods
method was not disclosed, yet Moses
was assured that God would break
Pharaoh's pride and power through the
use that Jehovah would make of Moses
| and his rod. Filled with confidence in
Gods presence and power to help him
l1berate his fellow countrymen, Moses
left indian in obedience to Gods call
We all are called to face Gods call to
service. We should realize that He will
never call us to do any tasks that we
cannot perform. II we would be loyal
to His commands, He will transform
our characters, fill us with power and
help LIS to courageously do His will and
work IN the world. He will 60 with LIS
and aid us to conquer.
