that her family was passing
through. She went because the
church was pretty, and she had
been told that anybody could go.
and it was free. In the Sunday
School room, she was given a little
red chair to sit in. There for the
first time she heard the story of
Jesus who loves everybody. She
was overcome, she said, by the
thought that there was someone
who loved her, the child of buns.
Knowing what someday the story
of His love would mean to people
like this ignorant, yet seeking,
child, must have made the pain OF
the cross less bitter. Knowing, too.
how casually most of mankind
would accept His sacrifice must
have brought a sadness harder to
bear than the bodily pain.

ferries and is working on the other
two so that they will be ready for
service by June /, in time for the
heavy summer coastal travel.
The three oldest ferries - the
governor Cherry" the "Govenor
Scott" and the "Sandy Graham
will be junked when the three new
boats are completed and the four
other ferries are all back in opera
tion.
When the new Croatan Sound
Bridge was completed and opened
to traffic the first of the year, the
longtime ferry service was dis
continued, freeing the boats for use
at Oregon Inlet and the Alligator
River. The bridge will be formally
dedicated April Is, at the start OF
the Third Annual Dare Coast Pr
rates Jamboree, April 1928. rs the
William B. Umstead Memorial
Bridge.
The renovated ferries and The
three new ferries will mean better
facilities for out of state tourists
and inland Tar Heels who visit
the Dare coast during the vacation
season as well as easier travelling
for Dare County folks.
The ferries which are being over
hauled are converted Navy land
ing craft. They have a speed of
only seven miles an hour and carry
1920 cars. After the overhaul,
their capacities are cut to 16 cars
each. The missing space will be
used for life boats required by the
Coast Guard regulations.
At the same time, the State

GLIM P S E S
THE PAST
nv CAROLYN Lloyd

It happened almost 1900 years
ago in an unimportant part of the
Roman Empire. A few people took
note of the event, but, by and
large, there was nothing unusual
about it-just the execution Of
three, Jews. The assignment was
routine for the Roman soldiers who
directed the execution. Weeks lat
er some small mention of it might
have been made in report to IL
berius, the Roman Emperor, but it
couldn't have made much impress
sion upon the man who ruled over
most of the then-known world.
Today, only students of history
recognize the name Tiberius, but
the whole world knows Of Jesus,
one of the Jews who hung in agony
upon a cross that day. Even those
who do not accept him as the Son
of God recognize Him as a great
man and prophet. His own follow
ers who watched him die upon the
cross that day could not foresee
the tremendous impact upon his
tory that His life and death and
resurrection were to make.
AS Good Friday approaches, ev-
ery Christian should allow himself
to feel deeply, at least for a NOM
emit. the agony of the crucifixion,
to be for a moment the sufferer on
the cross. The story is no myth
compounded to stir imaginative
minds. The Jew who hung upon
that cross felt the tearing again OF
the nails through the palms just
as did the thieves who hung be-
side Him. Only when we realize
that and share in that suffering
will the true glory of Easter be
ours; only then can we appreciate
the sacrifice that was made for all
mankind and be truly grateful for
the glorious promise of the Resur-
rection.
Perhaps then, too, we adults can
rid ourselves of the preoccupation
with Easter bonnets and whats-for-
dinner-after-church. 1t is hard
sometimes to strip away the fancy
facade of bunny rabbits and eggs
and bonnets that tends to obscure
the real meaning of the day, just
as it is hard to see beyond Santa
Claus at Christmas. It does seem
pity, though, that we deny our
selves the joy of Easter by getting
it confused with the pagan rites
of the welcoming of spring.
Not long ago I heard Billie Dav-
is, author of "a Desk for Billie"
tell of her life as the child of mi
grant workers-or as she bluntly
put it, "bums." She told of the day
when she first gathered courage to
go to Sunday School in a town
