EVERYDAY
RELIGION
(NEIGHBOR LOVER)
BY Rev. Robert w. Turner

Once upon a time-there walked
upon the face of the earth a mar
who loved, not only his neighbors
but everyone he met and managed
to find out way to help them II
one way or another-even those
who thought they had no need Of
any other persons love and atten.
ton. One of the most interesting
things about him was his desire
that those whom he helped should
say nothing about who had helped
them. 1t seemed that this man
took great pleasure in the fact that
others were made happy and wish
ed no other reward than their hap
piness and glad, spontaneous
thanksgiving to God.
1t may seem strange to you to-
day in a wonderful country like
ours that the people in this tiny
little country where he lived were
astonished to see real, live person
like this who really enjoyed help
ing other people be happy and
healthy and did all he could to
make them so. In fact, it was so
strange to them that they gather
ed in great crowds to hear him
speak and many wanted to make
him their king. There were others
who didn't like him much, though
they never said why, and these be-
gan to call him names and make
up stories about him which were
not true. l have often wondered if
the little children, who heard their
parents talking, ever innocently
yelled, as thoughtless children will
sometimes: "Hey, Neighbor Low
er!"
Of course, people must have been
very greedy and selfish in those
days or it wouldn't have seemed
strange to them for some one to
love everybody, What do you
think?
Sometimes, today, with much
work to do, homes and children to
care for, friends to entertain, tef-
evision and movies to look at and
many many meetings to attend for
community betterment-WE MAY
FORGET to Be Neighbor Lovers
and soon find ourselves in a very
lonely world where everybody is SO
busy caring for themselves they
don't have time to love each other!
Would you like to live in a world
like that-especially if you were
sick or hungry or thirsty or naked
or in prison. l know you would not
so let us all look about for the
lonely neighbor who needs our love
and friendship and be sure to start
with the family of neighbors who
live next doo1 to us!

the road!

the road!
The only sightseeing l did was
to visit The Hermitage, the mag
nificent Colonial home of Presi-
dent Andrew Jackson near Nash
vile. The main building is a huge
house of red brick with white brick
front and white columns, set in the
center of an estate of some 500
acres. Trees more than a hundred
years old shade the house, the
outbuildings and the grounds.
Green grassy lawns spread on all
sides and brick walks lead from
one outbuilding to another. One of
the log cabins used as home for
one of the slaves remains stand
ing, and it is easily. as spacious
and perhaps better built than
many of our modern homes. Ap-
proximately 400 people visit The
Hermitage each day, and it is we'll
worth the time tourist will use,
to visit this homeplace of one of
our great Presidents.

as many as three times before get
ting a crop, because of heavy rains.
Another day we went north
about 10 miles to Jackson, a small
town in country similar to our
Piedmont area, where / visited
some of my mothers close rela-
tives whom we had never had a
chance to know because they lived
so far away. Then across to Cape
Girardeau, a thriving city of about
rs thousand people, to visit more
of my relatives. 1t is quite crafty
ing to be able to meet people
whom you have known for years
by correspondence only, and whom
you have always wanted to know
in person.
On the return trip / drove for
miles alongside beautiful Reelfoot
Lake east of Tiptonville. 1t seemed
to be quite a mecca for fishermen
and vacationists. At Lucas Harbor
l crossed bridge high above Ken
lucky Lake, where there is a IVA
power plant. One day l lunched at
a restaurant high on top of a hill
overlooking Center Hill Lake in
the Cumberlands. This also is
fishing center. The return trip
also brought me through Martin,
where is located the Martin branch
of the University of Tennessee. A
little further on is the small town
of Dresden, where l was impress
ed by a tremendous courthouse in
the center of town. Both these
towns are in Weakley County,
Dresden being the county seat.
At Fancy Gap, just before cross
ing back into North Carolina, l
found excellent accommodations.
Only a few years ago we were
there and as / remember it there
were only a few houses, a post
office and a store or two. Now it
boasts two modern motels and sew
eral good restaurants (no juke box
in the one / chose). The elevation
is 2800 feet and it is beautiful
country, with an entrance to the
Blue Ridge Parkway just across
the road from the village. Fancy
Gap sits atop the mountain one
must cross to get from Mount
Airy, N. c., to Hillsville, Va,
and this was the only mountain of
any size / had to cross, except the
one at Kingsport, Tenn. Before
reaching Hillsville on the trip back
east, | crossed the beautiful New
River, where the water races
noisily along over the rocks. Atop
a hill at the rivers edge is the
old Shot Tower, where bullets
were made during either the Revo-
lutionary War or the Civil War
II did know but have forgotten
through the years.. Where the
bridge now crosses the New River
at Jackson's Ferry, / remember
crossing many years ago on a
small ferry, operated by a man
who poled it across. That would
hardly serve the present needs Of
the huge trailer trucks that use

RECORD BREAKING TOURNEY

Mays Head. = Julian Oneto,
president of the Mays Head Surf
Fishing Club, sponsors of the sixth
annual Inter- Club and Individual
Surf Fishing Tournament here on
October 1920, stated today that
more than 40 clubs would enter
teams in the tourney this year.
The teams of six persons each
will push the total to a record
breaking number of anglers taking
part in this annual classic. "This
year, ours will be the biggest or
ganized surf tournament along the
Atlantic Coast" said Oneto
Non-club members may take
part in the individual fishing on
Sunday, October 20, it was stated.
All teams and individuals will be
competing for trophies, and other
prizes that this year will total
more than $1,000. The tourney
banquet will be held on Saturday,
October 10.

crosses the Mississippi on a ferry.
There are no bridges between
Memphis on the south and Cairo
Illinois, on the north. Beside these
Mississippi ferries our own North
Carolina ferries look like palaces.
The Cottonwood Ferry" took me
west across the river. 1t could hold
perhaps six or seven cars if they
were packed in tight. The cars en-
tered from the side of the boat,
with only a rope for protection,
had to maneuver to get ina length
wise position, then get out again
across the side. On the west bank
hte ferry locked alongside raft
like affair across which one has to
drive, then up steep embankment
and some distance later across the
levee. On the return trip / took
the Tiptonville ferry which was a
little safer looking, and onto which
one drives straight ahead - no
backing and turning. 1t takes long
er for an east-to-west crossing
than for west-to-east, due to the
swift current which has to be
crossed upstream going west. The
greatest disappointment on the
whole trip was my first look at
the mighty Mississippi" It was
about mile wide, more or less,
where I crossed. and the water was
extremely low. Had it been at flood
stage, or had crossed further
south where it widens, I migth
have been impressed, but it looked
like just muddy stream, narrow
and small in comparison with our
broad, clean bodies of water in this
region. However, my flying son
says the river is a beautiful sight
from the air, because of its endless
stretch and size. (They have lots
of MOSQUITOES and other bugs, too
more than we have).
Visiting with my children in NAL
den, ! learned a lot about life at
an air base; also a lot about rails
ing tropical fish, which is their
hobby. One day / accompanied
Joan to Blytheville, Arkansas,
about so miles south, and found
the same kind of territory there as
in southeastern Missouri. 1t is the
fiattest fiat land have ever seen,
and ] finally concluded that the
reason it looks SO much flatter
than eastern North Carolina is be-
cause they lack the great forests
we have. On all sides, for miles
and miles, there are huge farms
which raise crops similar to our
North Carolina crops-corn, cot
ton, soybeans and other big crops.
In that section they don't 20 in
much for trucking. 1t is very fer
tile soil. While in our state we had
