gan with the carefully planned
TRADES of Assistant Attorney Gen.
eral Robert H. Jackson and Sec
rotary of the Interior Ickes.
IndustrialiStS have a healthy
fear of the possibility that
workers can be reused up against
them by able demagoguery, and
the New Deal crowd has been just
ruthless enough to toss such a
| threat at them.
On the other side of the question
it might be said that Roosevelt and
| his aides think this threat is
less reprehensible than the al
legged tactics of "big business" in
seeking to blame the depression
on the administration, and using
it as a preteXt for wiping out the
New Deals legislative structure
To get into his real frame OF
mind it is necessary to remember
that Roosevelt is an incurable OPP
timist who regards-himself as I'M
beatable, and to remember his
hope as expressed in the 1886
Madison Square Garden speech
that in his second administration
the forces of selfishness and
greed" would meet their master"
! No stenographic copy appears
to be available on the confer
ence at which Roosevelt sat with
Alfred P. Sloan of General Mo-

Steel Corporation, M. W. Clement
! of the Pennsylvania Railroad,
Lewis Brown of the Johns-Man-
vile Corporation, Colby M
Chester of General Foods, and
Donald Richberg.
But if local grapevines are
good for anything it would seem
that Roosevelt suggested business
should reform itself before the
government got around to it. The
business men talked back, but
.everyone was careful to see that
khe meeting didn't break up, in. o

COWS AND URBANlTES:

COWS AND URBANlTES:
Much is being said about the
value of COWS to the city dwellers
and the danger Of depriving many
families of the food that the aver
age cow provides, but little has
been said about the upkeep of an
urban COW.
In order to get straight line
of dope from a disinterestcd
source this column interviewed
Marion /. Walkc". who resides in
East Flat Rock but conducts a
! hardware store in Hcndersonville
Mr.. Walker says his feed bill
for the cow averages about So a
month. His milk bill, before in
vesting in a COW, was about $12
a month for an average Of about
four quarts daily. He saves about
81 a month on the milk bill and
has more milk for the family, a
plenty for butter and then to
spare.
The Walkers make much of
their garden and figure that the
compost from the cow lot is
worth the trouble Of milking and
feeding the COW. ..
These are figures on the COP
GRAFTON" of an urban cow and
don't take into consideration the
original investment in animal and
shelter.
And that's making out a pretty
good case for Mrs. Bossy, even
during the bleak months when
there are no green pastures
wherein she might brousc.

ACCORDING TO THEIR PLEASURE

In South Carolina are six state colleges they
are all useful institutions one of them, the Citadel,
is at this time nationally famous; but there is only
one of them, in The News and Courier's opinion,
without which the people of the state would imme-
dately and seriously suffer. That one is the Medi-
cal college Were all the other colleges discon-
tinued, the South Carolinians could send their boys
and girls to the church and private colleges within
the states borders, or to the colleges beyond the
state, as thousands are doing. There is but one
medical college in the state and no other medical
college of first rate standing is nearer than Duke
Were young men and women forced to leave the
state for training as doctors and surgeons, large
proportion of them would not return to the state
There would ensue a scarcity of physicians and
surgeons There is scarcity of them now. Be-
sides, climatic and other conditions make South
Carolina the place most suitable for training South
Carolina practitioners. Unless the medical college
shall remain Approved institution its continued
existence will hardly be necessary and, for that
matter is hardly to be expected These are facts of
which legislators may dispose according to their
pleasure News and Courier.

INTO him all the country of
.Tudaea and all they of Jerusa-
lem" Though John was a mag
netic speaker and a spectacular
personality, he was not the real
magnet that drew the multftudes
into the wilderness. 1t was the
announcement Of the Messiah
that reused the people.
On Follow the Christ of Super
natural Power "He that is
mightier than l." John was great
and now on the apex Of his
greatness. Jesus himself declared
that no mothers son ever sur
passed the Baptist. And yet with
out "infeliority complex but in
correct appraisal he magnIfied the
Messiah. Let the people look to
the Monarch who was on the way
to them and mt to the mental who
was even now running before
him.
(S) Follow the Christ of Spiri-
tual Rebirth. ~"He shall bartize
you in the Holy Spirit" The bap-
tism of John had its rightful place
as Christian baptism does to this
day. But baptism does not save.
John baptized none except those
who believed in the coming Mes
siah and repented of their sins.
Jesus alone can save. And the
spiritual baptism which he accom-
plished in the Holy Spirit pro-
duceS the new life.
60 Follow the Christ of the
Baptized Life. "Was baptized Of
John in the Jordan" He did not
need to repent for he had COM
mittcd no sin. He did not need
to profess faith in the Messiah Tor
he was himself the Messiah. And
yet he walked 60 miles to be bap-
tized. If we accept Jesus as Saw
Jour and Lord we ought to follow
him.
1O) Follow the Christ of Vic
tory over Satan. The Spirit
driveth him forth-he was
tempted Of Satan - the angels
ministercd unto him." If the
Spirit takes us from Jordan glory
into wilderness trsial, he will not
forsake us there. The arch enemy
must be resisted and routed. The
war is son not by a single Skin
mish but by winning battle after
battle. At length Satan is defeat
ed and driven away.

messenger lisa. II ~. His per-
sonalitv was concentrated into a
single power so that he was SIM
ply and suprcmely a voice. But
he was Il voice on the air, ring
inc with earnCstneSS and reaching
the hearts of men. Moreover,
that voicr was TO fulfil its func-
ton not in the noise and din of
the city, but IN the quiet and the
serenity Of the wilderness. 1t was
fraugilt with a single message
hcralding the approach of the
Lord and calling upon the people
to make ready for his advent as
primitive lands made new high
ways for the convenience of their
visiting monarch. There were
gulchcs to fill up, trees and ro~kS
to be removed, mudholes to 'bc
drained, ravines and rivers to be
bridgcd, curves and grades to be
eliminated. corveniences to be
provided and protection to be as
sured. The Eeople themselves
must be ready and only those who
recognized the Coming One as
their ling would prepare for his
appearance.
THE MINISTRY OF JOHN
The Proclaimed Christ, as
preached in the ministry of John,

perfectly fulfilling the prophetic
picture yvaS JOIN the Baptist. (1)
He bore a good name which, since
the Macc?bcan period, had be-
come popular among the Jews.
He was tsr son Of pious parents,
Zacharias, the priest and his wife,
Elizabeth. He was q klnsman of
Jesus and only six months older.
He was a Nazarite and lived up
to the name. He spent his youth
i'm the hill county of Judea. Nat
urally he fulfilled his ministry in
the uninhabited OF sparsely set
tied portions of the country. His
personal appearance fitted his
surroundings and his mission. He
was clothed with rough but dur
able cloth made of camepS hair.
The loose. garment was held in
place by leathean girdle about

the waist. His food consisted OF
locusts insects like grasshop-
pers) which were classed as clean
by Levitical law, and honey which
wild bees deposited in rock clettS
and hollow trees. He was the New
Testament Elijah. (2) The bap-
.tiSm of John was new rite re-
,ceived from heaven Mark IL:
3O). 1t was performed mainly IN
the river Jordan and in Enon
near to Salim where there was
much water. 1t was in al lessen
tial respects Identical with Chris
tian baptism, being anticipatory
rather than retrospective. One
purpose of it was to identify the
Messiah. No candidates received
baptism at the hands of John eX-
cent those who repented unto the
remission of their sins. (3) The
people flocked around the great
baptizer in the wilderness, coming
from every part Of Judea and al
most emptying the city of Je-
rusalem. Under the spell of his
burning words they were convict
cd of their sins which they con-
fessed and thereupon were bap-
tized, we may suppose, by hum
drcds and thousands in the river
Jordan. (4) The preaching OF
John called not alone for repent
ance with its turning away from
sin. but for faith in the approach
ing Messiah. Was John a mighty
man? He declared that the Mes
siah was far mightier than he and
that, in fact, he was unworthy to
stoop down as a mcnial and un-
fastcn the sandal thongs upon
the feet of the King. Moreover,
John asserted that his baptism
which had so startled the country
was but a faint symbol of that
spiritual cleansing which the
Christ should accomplish by bap-
tism into the Holy Spirit.
THE BAPTISM OF JESUS
The Presented Christ, as iden-
titled and approved in his bap-
tism, prepared for a life of serv-
ice. Fhe fulfilment of the proph-
ecies Of Isaiah, Malachi, and John
