CHRISTIAN SCIENCE

The Lesson-Sermon subject in all
Churches of Christ, Scientist on
Sunday, will be Doctrine of Atone
ment." This quotation from Paul's
letter to the Hebrews is the Golden
Text: "Christ is not entered into
the holy places made with hands,
which are the figures Of the true;
but into heaven itself, now to ap-
pear in the presence of God for us"
Included in the LesSon-Sermon is
an experience of the Apostle Philip
who went to the city of Samaria to
preach Christ to the people. And,
reads the account as given in Acts,
the people with one accord gave
heed unto those things which Philip
spake, hearing and seeing the mir
acles which he did. For unclean
spirits, crying with loud voice, came
out of many that were possessed
with them: and many taken with
palsies, and that were lame, were
healed. And there was great joy in
that CITY,"

Health with Key to the Scriptures"

Harding Children Score Hill:
In Delightful Operetta

Playing to standing room only
in fact many had to be turned
away - Harding school children
scored a huge S u C e in
their operetta, 1.-The tuition Tree"
presented Thursday night in the
Wilson school,
Every detail of the production was
a success from the stage sets to
the performance itself, with an
amazing amount CT potential talent
being revealed. Tuneful melodies.
graceful dance numbers, pretty cos
tunes, remarkably good acting,
clever lines contributed to the sue
cess of the performance hailed so
enthusiastically by the audience
which packed the auditorium.
The stage sets could have been
designed in Hollywood, and the huge
dragon, with his rolling red eyes,
was a perfect bit of stagecraft.
Elves and fairies in their bright
costumes were charming as they
went through their dance routines,
many of the youngsters adding in
dividual touches which captivated
the audience.
Music for the operetta is delight
full and the choruses and soloiStS

GraphoIosis+in
Splendid Talks
For CIubs

That graphology, the science OF
handwriting, is of decided value in
determining the character and cap
abilities of the individual, was
proven beyond question for mem
bers of the Ten Thousand club
when Agnes Electa Deebel of Los
Angeles, graphologist, spoke before
both the afternoon and evening
divisions of the club Thursday.
Mrs. 'Deebel commented briefly
on the fact that graphology is ac-
cepted as an accredited science and
as one of the most useful of the
many branches of applied psychol-
ogy, the individual revealing in his
writing, an automatic gesture, many
of the influences of his past life,
his potentialities and his character
istics.
Uses of graphology il teaching
in vocational and personnel work,
in crime detection, in psychiatry, as
well as for sheer entertainment pur-
poses were explained by Mrs. Dee
bel who in her opening remarks
after which she demonstrated for
the club members certain letter for
nations, spacing of words, of lines,
margins, ETC., which are clues to
the writer's personality.
In conclusion Mrs. Deebel analysed
samples of members writing, giving
in many instances almost uncannily
accurate picture of the traits, pre-
vious history and capabilities re-
vealed in the writing. Many ques-
tions were answered, Mrs. Deebel
being most generous with her time
and charming members by her in
telligence and sympathetic atti-
tudc.

North Carolina Manganese

An old manganese mine near Sparta
was reopened last week for the third time
in IS years, its operators hoping that on
this occasion it will come in for extensive
development.
Outcroppings of strategic metal ore in
North Carolina appear to be rather COM
mon, but the findings in minor scale opera
tons usually are small, leading in many
instances to the abandonment of the pro-
jects.
However, if some of these ore veins
were more deeply and extensively worked
ore of high quality might be found in a.
bundance. The cost of large scale opera
ton has served to prevent small mining
companies from going forward in this man.
ner during peace time.
Now that manganese is so urgently
needed in war production, there seems to
be no reason why the Federal Government
should not help finance the working of
strategic mineral deposits in Allegheny
and other North Carolina counties where
they occur. Thus financed and extensive
ly exploited, these mines might prove to be
volume producers of vital war Materials

Paying Old Debts

Don't think because debt is old
You have a right to pass it by
And with spirit proud and bold
Go on your way and never try
To pay it up, then claim to be
An honest man, upright and straight;
For time can pay no debt, you see,
Nor clear you at the pearly gate
It's just as good to pay old debts
AS those you know to be quite new;
And if you'd die without regrets
It's we'll to keep this fact in view,
Until you make the old debts right
And get an honest, clear receipt,
That you may have face that's bright
Regardless Of the folks you meet.
Old debts will keep you from life's best =,
AS on the path of life you trod;
Will shut you off from heavens rest,
And from the presence of our God,
Ii you but fail to pay them up,
Or do the very best you can,
That you may drink from honor's cup
And prove that you're an honest man.
Now if you'll pay that old, old debt
You made so many years ago,
Twill save you lots of sad regret
While TRAVELLING through this world be-
low;
Then you can lift your head upright
And look all men square in the face,
And have conscience that is bright,
And fill in life a worth while place.

Conscientious Directors

Our lawmakers have been care
full to safeguard the rights of
conscience. Even in war "consci-
entious DIRECTORS" do not have to
fight. This, of course, is pardonable
unless one uses it as a Smoke
screen" to dodge a plain patriotic
duty. We agree with Sherman
that "war is hell" but be it re-
membered that good has resulted
from wars. God had to deal with
the enemies of Israel and over
come them by force.
We won American independence
by war. AS a result America is
not only the ideal Of all nations,
but seems destined to help stabi-
lie the world and safeguard it
against repetition of destruction
into which it has been plunged by
recent events. Generally speaking,
strict adherence to the dictates of
conscience is indeed noble. Upon
one occasion, Henry Clay said, 81
would rather be right than to be

less illustrious, said the same
thing. The late Furnifold M. Sim

Saluting Our Heroes

Tomorrow, Friday, July II, is "Amerl-
can Heroes Day" and we are asking every
man, woman and child in this county to
celebrate this day, to salute our Heroes who
are fighting in the front lines for your
freedom and our freedom, by backing them
up with a purchase of war savings bonds
and stamps.
There are a large number of young
men from this county in the Army, Navy
Marines and Air Corp, ready to sacrifice
their very lives in order that their families,
their communities, town and county, state
and nation may continue to be free and to
enjoy the benefits of freedom, liberty and
democracy.
Everything that we have today every
thing that you have-your land, your home,
your church, your schools, you own
thoughts and speech-are dependent upon
the lob which these "men in service" do.
To fight and lick Hitler and the Japs,
these men must have guns tanks, airplanes,
ships, bombs and all of the other imple-
ments of modern warfare and it takes
great quantities of money for our nation
to furnish these things.
Uncle Sam and our boys, our heroes,
are expecting you and all of us back home
to help supply these war tools and machin-
cry.
They are expecting us to Buy War
Bonds and Stamps :. every one of us. We
simply can't let them down, or ourselves.
Salute our Heroes tomorrow! Buy War
Bonds and stamps!
