Henderson daily dispatch. (Henderson, N.C.) 1914-1995, 1936-12-21

OooOOoA' G+4upiOyeeS COulO give OAO
afternoon week off for baseball and
other recreations, for we spend our
money with you, and very few have
so much that they cannot spend it in
five and one half days.
ABC Stores are a disgrace to any
| county, state or nation. Saying they
bring in needed revenue to run the
| county, you mean run it to destruc-
| ton. Who wants the money taken
i from hard working, struggling wo-
| men and children; money needed to
| buy food and clothes, blood money
mostly to run our country, and what
| for? To craze the minds of men, Wo-
men, boys and I am ashamed to say
young girls also they say I am thank
| full to say have never seen a woman
| drinking.
I was more than glad to see that
Mr.. Irwin is going to have harmful
effects of Alcohol and narcotics
taught in schools. He is certainly to be
commended, and a man that rs good
| to be at the head of our state schools.
Whisky makes one have low, vile
| thoughts, swear, fight and curse, and
| it even makes some curse God, the
loving Heavenly Father. The idea that
bOOt-leggerS will sell if we do not
have ABC Stores, they would soon go
under if there were no buyers, so
don't blame it on the boot-leggerS.
1 heard Preacher Hamm say that
even the Devil does not offer anything
in return for cursing. I do not believe
there is person in the country tina,
| has not words in their vocabulary and
OF f1,oi orb RI
| their feelings, and spite even without
/ using curse words
/ Speaking of Schools do not mean
! to be throwing bouquets at any one,
| but I think Henderson is very for
! tunate in having Mr.. W. D. Payne as
head of Henderson high school. l was
!! very glad to see in the Dispatch that
he wanted to have few minutes
worship program. l would call it in
; the high school each morning.
meant to call him and commend him
for it, but I do commend him publicly
| here and now
What money the Lord gives us,
! health and strength to make is to be
given account of as to how we use it.
Jesus said, Bring we all of the
Tithes (Websters says this means a
tenth) into my store-house and see if
, l will not pour out upon you such
blessing that you will not be- able to
receive it, He did not say the last
truth but the first. Would man rob
God? If this was done there would
be money and to spare to carry on
the work Of the churches, and mis-
sions, sending the good news to those
xry110 hoo rd Of h0
ing Heavenly Father, and the Lord
and Savior Jesus Christ, who gave
his life to save the losc, and women
would not have to have church sup
pers (and church-fellowship suppers
are alright and could be very sweet
and wholesome), rummage sales and
go begging to meet church apportion-
ments So let's make this Christmas
the most joyous, happy, sober, sanest,
most sacred Christmas Vance county
has ever known. Everyone helping the
one next to them, from the big man
on down to the little one. God meant
for us to be brothers and sisters, or
one happy family. In his word he says,
chow can a man say he loves God
whom he hath not seen, if he does not
love those he has SEEM"
What is wealth to a person when
he is called on to the other home, only
his money he has used for the good
of others will have been registered
to his name, for in his word it says,
Lay up Treasures where neither
moss nor rust Tdoth corrupt, nor
thieves break through and steal'. For
where your treasure is, there your
heart will be also.
Paul demonstrated that man can
ties ify for Christ and serve Christ
wherever he is, even in prison.
The Good News" Rev. H. S. Hard
castle gave in his explanation of the
Sunday school lesson in the Christian
Sun, of Nov. 10TH quoted as follows:
"In his letter to the Romans, writ
ten before he ever visited Rome, Paul
sets forth in orderly fashion, the CEN
trail doctrines of the Christian reli-
gion In the brief portion of that let
ter which is embodied as part of
today's lesson, he sets forth in Ian
guage that sets the heart to beating
faster, some of good news.
"Men who are in Sill, and who can
not be themselves, or through the law
be saved or set free from that sin,
can be saved through the Grace of
the Lord Jesus Christ. Being justi-
fled by faith, being brought into right
relation by faith, they find deep and
abiding peace. By faith they find
access to grace and are made to re-
joice in the new hope that grace
makes possible. They are strength
ened against trials and tribulations,
and find their hearts filled with the
love of God, which is the gift of Gods
own Holy Spirit. The wonder of it all
is that Christ did this not for men
who were good, or his friends, but for
all, for those who were sinners and
were his enemies.
God commended this love toward
us. in that while we were yet sinners
Christ died for us. And if we were
reconciled to God-notice that Paul
does not say that God was reconciled
to us for Christ, by his spirit in our
lives, a great joy fills the heart, be-
cause we have received the atone
ment, which really means the atone
with God. Thanks be unto God for
his unspeakable gift"
