XyE need also spiritual pioneers.
W persons who will move forward

most persons, God is still an ''un.
discovered country: and no man
can discover God for another,
though he may testify to his own
discoveries. So in the realm Of the
spirit each must be his own pioneer;
and some men and women, even
from sickbeds. unable to walk as
far ~ the door. have made great
discoveries Of God.
The man who Is honored Is q
saint by three religions-Christian,
ity, Judaism and Mohammedanism
Abraham, is sometimes known for
the wrong thing. He may be thought
Of as a travelling pioneer because he
moved several hundred miles during
his lifetime. But he was not q pio-
neer in the 'old American mean.
ing Of that word. for the Canaan to
which he went was no unsettled
wilderness but well-populated
civilized country. and he never
owned the land he lived on.
Abraham's pioneering was In
the realm Of the spirit. We
know from Joshua 24:2 that
even Abraham's father WAS an
idolater; Abraham moves, out
from. the pagan religion Of his
father and his people, to the dis
cevery Of the One True God. No
more important journey was
ever taken.
The travelling of Abraham's feet
was Of little importance by com.
parison. 1t was the travelling OF
Abraham's spirit that has most
blessed us all.

Additional Typesetting Ma,
chine Doubles Capacity for
Producing Type

An additional typesetting ma
chine was installed last week in
the plant of the. Times Printing Co.
in Manteo which, with several new
type faces doubles the capacity for
producing type, and reduces possi-
bility of interruption in service.
The plant, which is the largest
and best equipped plant in town
the size of Manteo anywhere in
the state, is well prepared to turn
out printing of all kinds for CONE
mercial trade needs, and produces
three weekly newspapers, serving
Hyde County, Belhaven and the
Dare County coastland.
The business was established in
1885, first in small office in the
Fort Raleigh Hotel, equipped with
a small press for printing letter
heads and envelopes. A year later
it moved across the street in larg-
er quarters where more printing
equipment was added, and in jan
uary 1888 began producing the en-
tire paper in this shop.
The place was occupied by the
plant until December 1850 when, it
was moved into the present new
building which has three times the
floor space of the old one. A larger
newspaper press and an additional
small newspaper press were in
stalled. 1t also has three job press
es for commercial work.
