said. Come, see the place where
the Lord lay. And go quickly, and
tell his disciples. He is risen from
the dead; and 10, he goeth be-
fore you into Galilee; there shall
We see him: 10, I have told you.
And they departed quickly from
the tomb with fear and great joy
and ran to bring his disciples
word. And behold, Jesus met
them, saying, All hail. And they
came and took hold of his feet,
and worshipped him. Then saith
Jesus unto them, Fear not:
go tell my brethren that they de-
part into Galilee, and there shall
they see me.
Now while they were going, be-
hold, some of the guard came into
the city, and told unto the chief
priests all the things that were
come to pass. And when they
were assembled with the elders,
and had taken counsel, they gave
much money unto the soldiers,
saying, Say We, His disciples came
by night, and stole him away
while we slept. And if this come
to the governors ears, we will
persuade him, and rid you of care.
So they took the money, and did
as they were taught: and this
saying was spread abroad among
the Jews, and continueth until this
day.
But the eleven disciples went
into Galilee, unto the mountain
where Jesus had appointed them.
And when they saw him, they
worshipped him; but some doubt
ed. And Jesus came to them and
spake unto them, saying, All au-
thority hath been given unto me
in heaven and on earth. Go We
therefore, and make disciples of
all the nations, baptizing them
into the name of the Father and
of the Son and of the Holy Spirit:
teaching them to observe all
things whatsoever l commanded
you: and 10, l am with you al
ways, even unto the end of the
w~orld.-Matthew 27-57th through

And when even was come, there
came a rich man from Arimathaea,
named Joseph, who also himself
was Jesus disciple: this mar went
to Plate, and asked for the body
of Jesus. Then Plate commanded
it to be given up. And Joseph took
the body, and wrapped itin a clean
linen cloth, and laid it in his own
new tomb, which he had hewn out
in the rock: and he rolled a great
stone to the door of the tomb, and
departed.
And Mary Magdalene was
there, and the other Mary, sitting
over against the sepulchre.
Now on the morrow, which is
the day after the Preparation,
the chief priests and the Pharisees
were gathered together unto Pill
ate saying, Sir, we remember that
that deceiver said while he was
yet alive, After three days |
rise again. Command therefore
that the sepulchre be made sure
until the third day, lest haply his
disciples come and steal him away,
and say unto the people, He is
risen from the dead: and the last
error will be worse than the first.
Plate said unto them, Ye have
a guard: go, make it as sure as We
can. So they went, and made the
sepulchre sure, sealing the stone,
the guard being with them.
Now late on the sabbath day,
it began to dawn toward the first
day of the week, came Mary
Magdalene and the other Mary to
the sepulchre. And behold, there
was a great earthquake; for an
angel of the Lord descended from
heaven, and came and rolled away
the stone, and sat upon it. His
appearance was as lightning, and
his raiment white as snow: and
for fear of him the watchers did
quake, and became as dead men.
And the angel answered and said
unto the women, Fear not We; for
I know that we seek Jesus, who
hath been crucified. He is not
here; for he is risen, even as he

The literature of both Jews and

point, it's probably the only tbjna
upon which they do see eve -

That puts the United Nations il.
self on trial in a big way. It calIs
upon it to demonstrate whether il
is capable of settling a great w.
ternational issue which for thirtv
years not only has tailod
to respond to British remedies bur
has grown steadily worse.
Wouldn't Accept Decision
I've been studying thi. volcanic
situation ever since its inception
much of the time at close lange
and believe that plsychologicallv il
has deteriorated so much that n.
Jews and Arabs probably never
would accept any British decision
Some observers hold that Britain
and America together might have
succeeded in settling the issue =
year ago, but even that possibili.
ty no longer seems to exist.
Still, the position isn't without
hope. If the United Nations can
evolve a program which will be
acceptable to morld opinion as rep

the Arabs and Jews are more like.
ly to accept it. Indeed, they IN,
doubtedly would hesitate to
go against world opinion.
So far as England is concerned,
she hasn't decided to relinquish
the mandate over Palestine and
wouldn't necessarily consider
U. N. recommendations as bind.
ing on her. She isn't saying in
advance that she will implement
a u. N. program. As a mater Of
fact she already has made it clear
that she would be unable to furn.
ish more troops or money for
Palestine, and thus would be I'm.
able to comply with any plans
which called on her for these
things.
However, it is said in Well In
formed U. N. Circles that England
would accept a big majority deci-
sion by the United Nations, even
though she might not accept the
same decision on a close vote.
AS the U. N. tackles this highly
controversial issue there is at
least one favorable aspect. So far
as the peace organization is con.
cerned, the question is fresh. 1t
isn't. for instance, like the Greek
problem which already had pro-
ouced a split among the powers
before it arose in the U. N.
OF course, success must be pro-
missed on agreement among the
Big Five - America, Britain, Rus
STA, France and China. And that
may not be too easy to achieve,
since all these countries, except
China, have interests in the Le-
want. If it came to the use Of
military force. this would have to
be provided by the Big Five, since
the U. N. has none of its own as
yet, and a veto by one of the
great powers would stymie the
project.

Sorry Way To Start

Efforts to Smear a mar in North
Cardinals public life have never paid
off in political capital.
Instead, they usually boomerang.
Tar Heel political history shows the
breaking of a confidence or other
methods with a definite undetermined
color do not receive the kind of public
reception their sponsors hoped they
would.
The astute politician knows this.
AS example, Rep. Odus M. Null, OF
Cleveland, told the House Thursday
that "thise who would try to besmirch
the record of our fine wartime Gov
ernor q. Melville Broughton) will find
that they'll be hung On their W gal
lows"
His comment was prompted by the
release on the previous day to the Sen
ate Finance committee of confidential
letters indicating that Mr.. Broughton
had committed his administration IN
opposition to any move for p statewide
liquor referendum.
Tese letters were written by Mr..
Null to Rep. John Umstead, OF Orange,
In the fall of 1910, when the Cleveland
representative was rounding up support
for the 1871 Speakership Of the House.
they were presented to the committee
by Senator John Mclaughlin, OF
Iredell. In his remarks Thursday, Mr..
Null attacked the release of the con-
fidential communications without men
tioning any names.
In explaining why he disclosed the
letters, Mr.. Umstead said:
"For seven years, I've had In my
possession evidence that's caused me
to believe that certain agreements were
reached in putting in the gag rule. My
contentious on the matter never were
challenged until this week, and that's
why l gave out the letters. | never
would have given them out except to
back up the contentious that I've made
50 often in fighting the gag rule"
Mr.. Null Immediately pointed out
that ANYONE with reasonable intelli-
renee would know that the letters had
nothing to do with the gag rule being
put in. Why, the gag rule wasn't
even dreamed up at the time the letters
were written"
And the man-Rep. Gass, of Forsyth
who laid the groundwork for this
business by threatening to expose "cer-
tain gag rule secrets" if he failed to
1et a township bill through. the House,
now say he's sorry he brought the
subject up. Last month he told the
House that Mr.. Null had made a trade
with wet legislators in Eastern North
Carolina in en- effort to gain the
Speakership.
In answering Mr.. Broughton's
. charge that release of the letters ap-
peared to be the beginning of a politi-
cal "smear campaign" Mr.. Umstead

The Gallup Poll
Limiting Power Of Workers To Strike
In Public Service In dustry Favored
Majority Thinks Phone,
Gas, Electrical WaIkouts
Should Be Banned
BY GEORGE GALLUP
Director, American Institute
If puh1ic 0Dinion

5.-If organized labor has
strong arguments to Justify
strikes in public utilities such
as telephone, gas or electric
power companies, those argu-
ments do not seem to have
registered effectively on the
public mind.
While the general public is Cd
not arti-union, CD believes strong
ly in the right of collective bargain
ing, and 60 has sympathy with
many union wage demands, never
theless, the majority of voters have
reservations in their minds about
the right of workers to shut down
public service industries by strik-
ing.
The public divides into two
main camps on the issue. The at
titude of n camp is typified b.
this comment from a Pittsburgh
white collar worker interviewed
by the Gallup Poll:
when your phone is shut off,
or you have no electricity or gas,
there's no substitute that you can
get. Any union that can shut
down a public utility has too
much power. Somebody's got to
protect the public"
The other camp holds that or
ganized labor has a right to pro-
tect its interests in any type of
industry. This attitude, is sum-
married by the following from a
Chicago voter:
why should a man be penal
lied just because he works for a
local utility? He has the same
problem of making ends meet as
anyone else. In the phone com
panies I don't see the dividends
being regulated. Then why should
the employees rights be regu-
lated?"
The numerical size of the two
groups in the population holding
these contrasting opinions is
shown in the following coasA-to-
coast poll:
Should laws be passed to forbid
all strikes in public service indus
tries such as electric, gas, tele-
phone and local transportation
companies?"
The vote for the nation is as
follows:
Yes
NO
No Opinion --------------I2
The public's unfavorable atti-
tude toward utility strikes was
not brought about solely by the
publicity given at the time to
threats of a phone strike. For al
least a year the general opinion
has beer virtually the same.
In April, 1916, an Institute
poll on the identical question
found go per cent in favor of out
having utility strikes, 80 per cent
against and 8 per cent without
opinion.
Fairness and business and pro
fessional people are the most ir
favor Of strike limitation in pub
lie service industries. Among
manual workers and white col
lar workers there is also a major
ity vote for the limitation.

However, the Bishop Bates will
open a Bible school soon, watch for
place and date. In these meetings,
world events in prophecy, prophetic
happenings will be the first half,
then outline and study in Revelation
as time will allow. The Bishop does
not teach doctrines of churches of
the day, for or against them, as
Christ will take His church out of
the people. The Bishop believes the
churches are the problem of Christ
Christ knows the condition of the
churches today, for He is in the
midst of them.
The Bishop thinks there are toe
many different doctrinal churches
now, and there is no need for any
more, WHY?
