Sunday School Lesson
By WILLIAM E. GILRoY. u. y.

BY WILLIAM E. GILROY, d. D
A few years ago Princeton Uni.
versity published a large book I'm.
der the title Twelve Who Ruled, -
by f. R. Palmer. 1t was a large
book, and it dealt with the IL mer
who constituted the Committee Of
Public Safety which governed
France during the year of the Ter.
or in the French Revolution. when
life was anything but safe.
1t is small book of only few
pages, even taking all four Cos
pels into account, that tell of an
other IL, who were concerned,
also, with safety, Or salvation; but
what a different u, and what a
different sort of safety.
These Il were the friends OF Je.
sus, called to be His companions
and followers, fishermen some OF
them, and all through His making
fishers of men, To them He gave
the JOY as well as the hardship OF
sharing in His earthly ministry,
and of establishing the Christian
Church after He had gone, assur-
ing them of His continued pres.
ence. go ye therefore, and teach
all nations, baptizing them in the
name of the Father. and of the Son
and OF the Holy Ghost; teaching
them to observe all things what
soever l have commanded you: and

the end of the world"
Was there ever such a dream.
or such a project? Was any great
task ever begun or carried on with
such seemingly small resources, or
by men so little prepared for such
immense responsibilities? Yet Je-
sus knew His mission, and He knew
the sort of men He needed to carry
it out-men of daring and initiative
capable of making great sacri-
fees, ambitious, free from entan-
clements, and with minds respon-
sive to new truth and teaching.
1t is mistake to think of the

ed men. Nor do they seem to have
been poor. AS to education, every
Jewish boy attended the school
associated with the synagogue, and
was trained in the law and lore Of
his religion. With this went the in
sistence that every boy should learn
a trade, or be brought up to use
full work. Thus, a fisherman, or a
farmer, or a carpenter, might in
reality be a very intelligent ana
educated person.
Another common mistake is to
think of the Apostles as old men.
They are almost always pictured
in that way; perhaps because OF
their major work in establishing
the Christian Church in which they

called them they were young men

its inception was a young men, S

siasm, and adventure, and capacity

Let us rejoice that the Apostles,
some of them at least, did grow

loved in the Church, which belongs
to us all, and in which all of us
young and old, can have our part.

RECORDER SEEKS
SALARY INCREASE

Judge H. Winfield Smith dis
closed yesterday that he had ask
ed Rep. J. @. LeGrand to prepare
legislation to increase salaries of
the recorder and solicitor of New
Hanover Recorders Court to ANY
amount he thinks right and prop
err"
Describing Mr.. LeGrand as "the
only man who can give us any
relief" Judge Smith pointed out
that judges of similar courts in
other North Carolina cities are
paid anywhere from $500 to $4,000
more per year than I am receiv-
ing"
In connection with the appoint
ment of Attorney James C. King
to the solicitorship of recorder S
court, Judge Smith commented,
we're lucky to get anybody to
fill the job at the rate of pay for
the position In his new position,
Mr.. King will receive approx
mately $3.50 per month, he added.
Continuing to protest the low
salaries paid to himself and the
solicitor, the recorder explained
that after his income tax and pen
sion deductions he received $50
less than the judge Of the same
court was paid 20 years ago. Alton
A. Lennon, former recorder, con-
Cured with this statement. Judge
Smith said his salary was $4,000
year.

Is Sll1l
A dour picture. All hope blotted
out. The most enduring ties brok-
en- forever. And that is life, but
not all of life. The passing days
carry much away, they also put
by something, make a deposit OF
sweetness, as bees store away
honey for lean years.
Memory holds on to mothers
songs, to the early defeats and
victories, to friends who stood
by in time of need, to the sacri-
fees and heroisms of the common
folks. A multitude of experiences,
though some were charged with
pain and disappointment, have
contributed to the JOY Of living
even as stars long since burnt
out continue to shine on the earth.
He lives in the past. Why not,
if the past is more plorious than
the present? 1t often is. The
tender grace of a day that is dead
does come back. We do feel tne
touch of a vanished hand and hear
the voice that is still.
THE past is not the past.
All my blessed yesterdays
Will bear their fruit while
time shall las
Their fragrance sWeeten all
my ways;
For every garden where for
me the sun did shine
Was and is and ever shall be
mine"
