Native OF Wilkes
1t Writing Book

A letter from Lawrence D.
Washington, 8O-year-old former
resident of Wilkes now making
his home in Houston, Texas, to
The Journal-Patriot states that
he has just completed writing a
book entitled "Confessions of a
Schoolmaster."
1t is Of particular interest to
note that the scene of the new
book is laid in the Brushy Noun
tains of Wilkes county and read
ers may be able to recognize in
the books characters similarities
to the people they have known in
that section of the county and it
should prove intensely interest
ing to many residents Of the
county.

Handbag Sunday

Miss Evelyn McClain lost a
weekend bag last Sunday in a
peculiar fashion. She packed
her bag at the home Of R. W..
Hardin and sat it down in front
of his house to wait for the
Boone Bus on which she was
planning to ride to Todd. She
returned to the house a moment
and when she came back, found
her bag gone.
Some boys who were in the
barn across the road reported
that a large sedan, driven by a
woman, stopped and picked up
the bag. One Of the boys, Bill
Gentry, had the presence of mind
to note the license number, by
which Miss McClain hopes to
trace her bag.

LIFE EXPECTANCY
OF 1888 B ABIES
AROUND 62 YEARS

Washington.-The public health
service said this week that babies
born in 1888 had life expect
ancy of 81 years. This is IL
years more than the expectancy
for 1887 babies and nearly two
years more than in 1881.
The doctors pointed out that
the expectancy falls only eight
years short of the biblical quota,
"three-scores and ten"

right in putting into Jesus mouth
the memorable words, "But I,
when l am lifted up from the
earth, will draw all men to my
self"
An impressive parallel is furn-
ished by the tragic death of Lin
coin at the very moment his
reconcoling spirit was most need
ed. The assassination of Lincoln
was perhaps the blacklist act in
our history. Yet there can be
no doubt that the untimely
death of the Emancipator trans
figured the simplicity and integ-
rity of his character and made
vivid the real greatness of his
patriotic service.
The precious Imitation Of
Christ" contains a golden chapter
on THE Kings Highway of the
Cross" Here we find this glow
ing tribute: I'm the cross is
health, in the cross is strength
Of mind, in the cross is joy of
spirit, in the cross is the sum of
virtue, in the cross is perfection
Of holiness: there is no health of
soul nor hope of everlasting life,
but in the cross. Take the cross
therefore and follow Jesus and
thou shalt go into life everlast-

Peter Interprets Christ's Suffer-

ingS.
Lesson for This Week: 1 Peter
1:17-23.
Golden Text: 1 Peter 1913.
The keynote of our lesson is
sounded in the words of the Col
den Text, Christ himself died
for sins, once for all, that he
might bring us near to God"
To Jesus and his friends the
crucifiXion meant intense agony,
humiliation, and injustice. No
wonder the Master shrank from
it, and the discipes fled But the
shame of the Cross is really
its glory.
Jesus knew this, for in his fare
well words to the disciples he
made it clear that his death sig
nified the triumphant completion
of his mission. In the giving up
his life he made a supreme sac
rifice which we now recognize as
the Hottest possible expression of
his loyalty to the divine Will.
We can agree with Prof. Kent,
of Yale, that the death of Jesus
was the TRANSPORTATION of all that
he was taught" This is why the
Cross is the central symbol of the
Christian faith. St. John was
