World Needs Man
of Ages Instead OF
Man of the Hour
Services at the Local Methodist
Church Grow in Interest
Each Day of Service

tToday we need not so much the
man of the hour as the Man of the
Ages, the Christ of the Gospels u
asserted DR.. J. L. Stokes in a very
penetrating message delivered at
the local Methodist church last
night, where he is assisting this
week in special evangelistic SER
vices.
DR.. J. L. Stokes, pastor of Randle-
man Methodist Church, spoke on
''The Unrelenting Search" using as
a text the thirteenth verse of the
twenty-nineth chapter of jeremiah,
which reads: "And We shall seek me,
and find me, when we shall search
for me with all your heart"
zone reason for our need of the
search for Jesus is the very failure
of man-made methods and en-
phases, said DR.. Stokes. Recently
this world has seen a succession of
man-made programs and methods
for the saving of the people. We
have heard much of mass evangel-
ism, mass movements, social recon
struction; but little of the part
which Jesus plays in the lives of
humble mankind. These methods
have failed. It is high time that we
are searching for Jesus.
"Man has done much to cause I
The Skyland post. [volume] (West Jefferson, N.C.) 193?-1988, 1937-05-13

to marvel. But even this partial
success in making the world bet
ter place in which to live must not
blind us to greater possibilities.
Jesus was sufficient for the great
and good men of old; he is sufficient
for us. Today we need not so much
the man of the hour as the Man of
the Ages, the Christ of the Gospels. :"
eff we would search for Jesus, we
must have courage. There has been
no day in the history of the world
when men needed more courage
than they do now," DR.. Stokes con-
tinued. There are always those to
criticise and jeer, but SO few to
cheer. The time has come to check
the conception that a religious per-
son is either sissy or an old fogey
Religious devotion requires as much
manhood as any act a man can per-
FORM"
GAS result of this unrelenting
search, which should be made with
steady perseverance and devotion,
we find Him who supplies all our
needs; One who understands ALL
People may distrust and misunder-
stand us here on earth, but He
knows all and looks upon us with
understanding favor. We find in
Him one who gave His all-for you
and for me. 1t was said of Sampson
that he slew more men at his death
than he had slain during his life
time. It might well be said of Christ
that He saved more people at His
death than during the whole of His
earthly life"

OUR BOOK TRUCK

Through the efforts of the adult teachers in
Ashe Allegheny, and Watauga, regional book
truck has been secured and will start being used
as circulating library by the first of June.
This section is to be congratulated on the
enterprise shown by these men and women in
making it possible for the county to have read
able books brought into each community where
there has been no chance for reading hereto
fore. The book truck will visit stated places
throughout the county and lend books to any
person who desires them. Also at stated inter-
walls, the truck will return and gather up the
books lent and lend Others In this way the
books will be circulated until read and then
new ones will be sent out.
This is the only part of the entire South to
have regional book truck service. 1t is to be
hoped that the citizens of the county will appre-
ciate this fact as we'll as appreciate the oppor-
tunity it offers for mental development to the
many who would not otherwise have it. Any
cooperation we can give in forwarding its work
would not come in amiss

Some one said that a carnival was

I rode the merry-go-round with
the largest man in Ashe county and
he felt smaller than 1 did.
The way the people acted at the
carnival it looked like nearly every
body had reached second childhood.
Mrs. Wallis Simpson, in the court
decree, had Simpson taken off. Of
course the Simp part will always
remain with her.
WPA workers are neither Repub-
lican nor Democrats. They take their
stand in the middle of the road.
The carnival made me think of an

SEASON OF THE GRADUATES

We are turning into the season OF the year
for the school and the college and university
commencements
It is the heyday of the graduate from these
institutions when the wise and patrlotc and
thoughtful mind of the citizenship WILL be
drawn to new focus upon the meaning ana
large ends of public education
A million boys and girls OF North Carolina
are in our school houses five days week Tor
eight months of the year.
Thousands of them annually emerge as
graduates.
They are North Cardinals outstanding assets.
Great are our tobacco companies with their
multiple millions of annual earnings and their
employment of tens of thousands.
Great, too, our power developments, our
textiles in which we have attained in North
Carolina the name and rank of an empire:
Great, also, our farms and diversified fac
tories with their annual output of hundreds OF
millions, our mines and our markets.
But North Carolina tomorrow will be SUI
perior or inferior as commonwealth not in &C.
cordance with the development of industry nor
the expansion of our mercantilism nor the vast
ness of our banking institutions.
North Carolina tomorrow will be determin-
ed by the men and the women who are today's
boys and girls in the school room.
1t is as true today as it has always been true
that public education is the predicate OF human
progress-that civilization marches forward on
the feet of the head that is trained and the
heart that is disciplined.
Since the State has assumed responsibility
for the education of it's youth not only for the
sake of the child, but for the more selfish sake
of the State ITSELF it was at first wisely designed
that the responsibility for this vast service
should be widely distributed and that much of
it should be placed in the hands of able, up
right, intelligent, interested and patriotic citi-
zens in their respective communities.
Along with this diffused authority in admin
istration of the public schools, it was in the
minds of the founders of this system that the
communities and the parents of the pupils at
tending these public schools should evince at all
times a lively interest in these institutions, in
the kind of teachers set over the childhood of
society," the nature of the texts they study, the
habits and disciplines on the grounds and in all
other phases of the educational regime that
would properly be of concern to the State and
to the fathers and mothers of the children.
1t is unhappy that much of this local interest
and this intimate personal concern and contact
has been lost out of the operation of the public
school system of the State.
Indeed about all of it would be lost except
for the fine services of the Parent-Teacher AS
sociations which continue to keep these fires
burning between the homes and the Schools be-
tween the parents and the instructors, between
personal and the institutional phases of this
