THE FIRST R. H. S
SCHOOL SONG
The first R. H. S. school sum was
written by Katy Wade, a stun r, in
1921. When Mr. Joiner asked her to
write a school song, she wrote the
song, “To R. 11. S. We Go.” Before
this time the scnoal had little
school spirit. After tins good job of
Bong writing the spirit nf the school
pepped up a great deal. This song is
written to the tune of Jingle Bells
and goes as follows:
To R. H. S. we go,
Happy on our wav,
The very best sen >ol we know,
We‘ll sing her prase today,
No better schou you'll find
No pupils near so bright
Teachers of the rarest kind,

worker and an obedient son. He was
| also a devout member of the syna-
[ gogue. From the time he left home
• at the age of 30 years he entered
I upon his real life work. He became
I a natural figure gradually as the
! people came to know him. He ex-
I pended a purl of his labors in each
country. From the best we can
gather lie spent most of the first
year of his public ministry in Judea.
For the next eighteen months he ta
ilored and preached in Galilee. His
headquarters were at Capernium. As
he traveled over the countries he
preached in the synagogues. During
all this he did not forget his home
town of Nazareth. His own people
must have their opportunity to have
the gospel to learn what was his
mission among men. After entering
upon his public ministry there was
but one thing in mind with Jesus and
that was bringing salvation to the
world. There was no half-waty busi
ness for him. He entered into the
work with zeal that was not to be
surpassed.
Proclaiming His Mission
Jesus proclaimed his mission
the world through his preaching in
the synagogues using the Old Testa
ment predictions in his messages
exact fulfillment of his statements is
what had been predicted by the
prophets. So we see we can follow
the final gospel plan of salvation
from the earliest prophecy to the
time of the fulfillment of the plan
We do not know how extensive were
his sermons or how much he went
into detail. There were certain parts
of his discourses that pointed unmis
takeably to his atoning death that
the people could pot understand at
that time. And it was notuntil the
last year of his life that he began
to unfold the truth of this to his
desciples. Even then the descLples did
not understand him. There is no
proof that Jesus openly proclaimed
himself as the Messiah or as the Son
of God to the people of Nazareth. It
is highly probable that he did not.
Long after this he told is desciples
not to make known his mysterious
Iruths in the following words: “And
be straightway charged them and
-ommunded them to tell no man that
thing.” The time for its proclamation
was not yet ripe. He did tell the
people of Nazareth that it was he in
whom was fulfilled the exalted pre
diction, the 61st chapter of Isaiah.
It is implied in the comparison be
tween himself and Elijah and Elisha
Well, its a hard matter to say i that he at least assumed the role of

he talked into a compromise but I
think the real reason behind the
whole thing was to muss ail the
classes they could. A compromise in
vitation was finally agreed upon and
the salesman went on to the Junior
Class. I think he met up with soma
of the Senior type of cooperation.
P. S. They still haven't bought

think it would be a good idea to wait
and see if Mr. Jopier thinks they'll
have any use for them!

a prophet.
Prediction Explained
The prediction which Jesus took
as his text gives us the very heart
of the Bospel. Even though the most
mysterious aspect of his mission
not distinctly stated but some is
clearly stated in the 53rd chapter of
Isaiah.
We cannot get a clear conception
of Christ from our text today with
out reading this 53rd chapter oi
Isaiah. It tells us of his sorrows and
the griefs that he bore and of the
pains he underwent at the hands of
his enemy. It also tells that he bore
our transgressions. Christ was pre
•minently the annotated one, even
he Messiah. As men would late
come to know and men would come
to see that he was the Messiah.
Christ's program of carrying the
gospel to the common people was
unique. At this time in the world'
history philosophers would sometimes
have desciples about them whom
they would teach, but while they
were doing this they would neglect
the poor. We now see that he pro
ceeded "to heal the broken hearted”
During all the history there has al
ways been broken hearted people
und of course many of them were
uoor and were neglected. But Jesus
inaugurates a new mode of action.
The poor were to be considered the
same as the rich.
Causes of Broken Hearts
liiroughout the ages broken hearts
have been caused by bereavement,
disease, shame, financial loss and
many other things. There is a bright
er side of the picture though. These
broken hearts can all be mended if
we will but use the correct means.
Jesus can heal our broken hearts
is our one and only complete restor
er of all our afflictions if wc will but
make use o.f his services.
Today Jesus can be a comfort to !
thos who mourn. We are all captives
of sin and Jesus preaches deliver- I
ance from this captivity. Christ can
deliver the bondservants of sin. Thru |
the new life which lie gives us he j
breaks the power o.f sin and sets
the prisoner free. Even though we
are a convicted sinner we can make
our appeal for pardon to Jesus
Christ and the pardon will be forth
coming. We may be sentenced to a
life of condemnation and be par
doned if we will but obey the Mas
ter when he hears our case.
For a while the people of Naza
reth listened in wonder to the beau
tiful words of Jesus, but when he j
made the claim that the words of
Isaiah were fulfilled in him they
were loud in their condemnation of
him. They called attention to the fact
of his humble parentage and to his
being only a carpenter. They could
not understand why a man of his
humble birth could speak with the
authority of prophets and could he
one in whom prophecy was fulfilled.
These people really believed that
Jesus was making a false claim
when he claimed to speak with au
thority of a prophet. The way in
which Jesus was treated by the in
habitants bears out the truth of the
statement of Isaiah that “a prophet
was not without honor save in his
own country.”
Anyone today who rejects Jesus
Christ as the Saviour of men makes
it impossible for themselves to be
saved.
Our religion has its beginning
with God. The kind of religion is
that which begins with man's search
for truth and happiness. This man
made vuriety has not succeeded. We
can see that this is correct from a
study of the religions of the world.
They always fail in the most im
portant places. Our religion is a
revelation in which the character of
God is made known to us. The very
case of our religion is that God has
come down to us in the person of his
Son who took upon himself the part
of a man, subject to everything that
we are subject to.
There is no other religion in the
world thnt gives us the working of
religion that is ours in the person of
Jesus. There is no way in which
man can put away the teachings of
Jesus.
That which is divine in our re
ligion is different from all other re
ligions. This divine force is the
power of the Christian religion which
we embrace. Our hearts are mude tc
each out for something infinite. It
raves that which only our religion
can give. r
Christ has brought together God
and man. When this has been done
our hearts are in contact with the
nfinite.
The only gospel which can draw
man and save him is the gospel with
power to draw men unto it and save
them. Let us keep our religion at
full strength by contact with Jesus
at ail times. This is the only way in
which our religion at full strength by
contact with Jesus at all times.
This is the only way in which oui
religion is worth while.
Christ the Anointed
Jesus fulfills these offices of pro
phet, priest and king. In each
these three offices the candidate was
anointed when he was inducted into
office. Now pust what does this
mean to us? Is Christ my prophet,
priest and king. If he is prophet his
word is God's will with me. Christ
is our priest. He is our representa
five for us at God's right hand. H
redeeming power is our salvation.
Christ is our king he wants
reign with undivided authority.

SUMTER TO HAVE
RESERVE SCHOOL
Americus, Ga., Oct. 20—At a meet
ing of the Reserve Officers associa
tion of Americus, a school for Re
serve officers has been organized.
Lt.-Col. Hugh Adair of Macon, in
charge of this military district, was
here to organize the school. There
will be three institutes held each
month this year instead of the two
hold formerly.
TEACHERS WILL GET PAY;
LOAN FROM NEW YORK
Atlanta, Oct. 26—Georgia school
teachers apparently are assured theii
salaries for the rest of the year,
Gov. Rivers’ office announces that a
New York banking firm has confirm
ed a loan of three and a half million
dollars for teachers' pay. Only rou
tine legal details remain to be
worked out.
The state meanwhile has mailed out
more than $300,000 to local school
systems from the equalization fund,
This money is derived from the state
when all others have failed. So Jesus gasoline tax.
Atlanta, Oct, 26—The Georgia
highway department ended the fis
cal year June 30 with a deficit of
$13,843,407, biggest incurred in the
agency's 21-year history, State' Au
ditor Zach Arnold reported today.
If the board completely shut
down contract letting for the next
12 months the revenue anticipated
during that period still would not
pay off the present obligations and
maintain normal applications, the
auditor said..
“Already there is acute lack of
funds promptly to meet obligations,
and the accounting department is
jammed and many creditors are un
paid,” Arnold wrote Gov. Rivers in
.ho department audit.
Declaring “resolute action is
necessary” in the financial dilema,
Arnold recommended “a determined
‘no’ to pleas for roads) for a while
perhaps seven or eight months, until
the financial condition of the hoard
clears up.”
He added there must bo exercised
teal economy; sacrifice that hurts;
on the part of groups and of all
Georgians, to wait with patience for
the grading, paving and bridges they
clamor for.
Biggest previous deficit of the de
partment was $5,460,126 in 1938
the smallest $624,076 in 1936.
Discussing the deficit further, Ar
nold wrote Rivers:
If it be said that the obliga
tions are largely contracts that will
ature in the future when reve
nues will be in hand, I point out
that there is an edge of risk and in
my opinion, the highway department
cannot safely risk a deficit of more
than four million or $4 600,000 with-
ut feeling the need constantly of
liquid funds to meet contractors’ es
timates falling due and maturing
purchasing invoices.”
The auditor said he did not delve
into alleged violations or corpora
tions of civil or criminal taws of
the state or federal government” in
connection with operation of the
road agency, feeling these matters
were within the province of other
afencies.
Federal grand juries have indicted
two highway officials and two for
mer officials, also three asphalt
emulsion companies from which the
roa agency bought materials.
Referring to a Crisp county iin
dictment against u former highway
employe charging payroll padding
and forgery, Arnold said a firm
which bonded this worker would pro
test the department against any
loss.
When the fiscal year ended last
June 30, the department payroll
listed 2,544 employes, not including
common labor. Of the $26,687,360
spent last year $3 290 295 was paiH
for personal services. *
Contractors were paid $616.49# by
the department for rental bn their
equipment used on work projects ad
ministration projects. i
