the precepts of men. Ye leave the
commandment of God, and hold fast
the tradition of men," They were
ignoring vital matters and stressing
trifles. They were making religion a
round of cold mechanics and of mean
ingless forms instead of a warm-heart
ed fruitful service of God and men.
Evading Gods Law.
They even became ingenious in con-
irving schemes by which they evad-
ed Gods law Gods law, Honor thy
father and thy mother" enjoined re-
spect for and support Of parents. To
help wicked sons to evade support
ing their parents, the Pharisees
taught them to lear mark" all income
and property, "Corban" or "Given to
God,' which might have been expect
ed by their parents. God might never
get the gift, but that n1attered not;
ear-marking, it for an offering Kept
parents from claiming it. With such
devilish cunning these quisblers about
non-essentials were teaching wicked
men how to justify their, sin and sell

CAPERNAUM was nearly Is miles
from Jerusalem, but not too far for
Jesus critics to go there to try to OBJ
struct his work and discredit him as
a teacher in the eyes of his followers
Fact-finding VS.. Fault-finding.
They had not come up from Jerusa-
lem and had seen that some mission
but as fault-finding group. There
are gathered unto him the PlariseaS
and certain of the scribes, who had
come from Jerusalem and had seen
that some of his disciples ate their
oread with defiled, that is, unwashed
hands For the Fharisees, except they
wash their hands diligently, eat not,
holding the tradition of the elders.
Had these Pharisees come to seek
facts instead of faults they could have
discovered in Jesus disciples men Gag
err to live lives of righteousness, sim
cerity and helpfulness. They could
have found numerous individuals and
homes that had been made happier
through these mems efforts. But it
was not such facts they sought. They
had come to find faults and all they
could find was a lack of emphasis Of
ceremonial washing of hands before
eating.
Clean Hands or Clean Hearts
Whether mems hearts were, clean
mattered nothing to these critics pro-
vided only that their hands had been
made clean by going through certain
prescribed motions. According to Edel-
sheim, "the hands must be lifted up,
so as to make the water run to the
wrist, in order to make sure that the
whole hand was washed, and that the
water polluted by the hand did not
again run down The fingers" This was
no requirement of Gods law, but only
"the tradition of the elders" How
ever, they were putting these human
traditions above divine law, as Isaiah
had foretold would be done. So Jesus
replied to their criticism, saying well
did Isaiah prophesy of you hypocrites.
as it is written, This people honoret'l
me with their lips, but their heart is
far from me. But in vain do they wOr-
ship me, teaching as their doctrines

BETTER BARN DRIVE
FOR STATE PLANNED

In the Sir Walter Hotel.

Raleigh, March 25.-David s.. WeaX.
er, agricultural engineer at State Coli
lege and secretary of the State Rural
Electrification Authority, thinks that
something should. be done about bet
ter barns for North Carolina farms.
and he is laying plans to do something
about it.
At State College, he points OFT there
are available, and free to all farmers
who desire to use them, no less THAI
3G0 different approved plans for barns
Of all sizes, shapes and descriptions
Yet, Mr. Weaver contends, most fay
mers who are thinking, of barn builri-
.ng never think of the. fact that they
can get these plans and make use of
-ham for nothing.
The plans can. be- had, he explains.
either by writing to State College di-
ect or through any county agent.
In an effort to remedy the situation
Mr. Weaver hopes to be allie at soma,
near future date call conferences of
all firms which Sapp,y- building ma
terials to farmers.
To these he will explain the designs
available and cite the fact that they
can be secured by teh builders as wei
as the farmers, In this way he belives
more progress can be made than by
continuing only to try to acquaint- the
farmers with the situation.
Farmers all over the state ought tc
know about the availability. of these
plans,' Weaver said, "And' we have
made every possible, effort to, adver-
tise to them; the fact that they ca !
be obtained from State College. J..
geems an almost hopeless task. how

Queen is deadi

Queen is dead!
Not a member of a ruling family Of
some great country, 5ut just as muco
queen as they for she ruled in her
world, that of the saw dust ring FOL
Queen" was the beloved mare of Mrs.
Edith O'Lary, nee Edith Costello, =
member of the world famous troupe
of bareback riders who have given UP

town, Henderson.
Mrs. O'Lary has ridden Queen ~

has performed feats OF daring upoA

loved horse. Many folks here knew
the big white mare by sight, and many
have seen Mrs. O'Lary riding tn

Mrs. OLary was at the American Lee
gion Exposition a few years ego un-
der a big tent. 1t was the last perfor-
nance of the famed troupe of riders.
Queen" has played here since that
time. being a member of the George
Hanneford string of horses to whom
Mrs. OIary sold the big mare.
So much for this, but let Don Loeb

you of Queens" last curtain March

Spring weather came to Detroit for
few hours Wednesday afternoon.
and appropriately there were white
horses and bare ack riders perform

Theater. For the rest it was entirely
authentic, though, for the act was tina.
of George Hanneford, who at the age
of 70 has been circus performer fof
more than 80 years, and his young
sters, who graduated directly from
teething rings to bareback riding.
Round and round the ring went the
three big white mares, Kate and Mol
lie and Queen, in the regular gait they
learn so we'll that the performers can
tell to a split second when each will
arrive at a given sector OF the ring
Applause came cross the footl!ghts
and the curtain rang down on the
grand finale.
OH Queen Falls.
"Then, for the first time in more
than a decade of -rouping, old Queen
fell out of line. She Topped down on
the sawduct, and a minute later she
was dead.
"They don't hold post-mortems on
horses, not even troupers like Queen,
and so there's some doubt as to JUS.
why Queen died. Hanneford scoffed
at the theory that it might be old age
"'She was only II or IA years old,
he said. I'd had her myself. Why, as
things go in this business, she was
just filly.'
Queen weighed 1850 pounds, so il
certainly was not undernourishment.
At that, she was no giant compared
to Kate, who is Is years old and
weighs f,695 pounds and only slightly,
outweighed 11-year-old Mollie. Queens

A Brief Rehearsal.
There was a brief rehearsal on the
stage, with, the curtain down, as the
feature picture out in front neared its
close. From the wings, wearing Ill.,
