“But Jesus answereth again, and saith unto them,
Children, how hard is it for them that trust in hiches to
enter the kingdom of God!”—Mark 10:24.
No man with good sense will say everything he thinks.
He never knows when he might want to run for office.
With the price of eggs going up we wonder if it is possible
that the hens around Covington are laying under an NRA
code.
The old horse and buggy may have had their faults, but
bandits didn’t get license plates off of them to help stage
bank robberies.
Railroads have their side of the story. It costs them
considerable money for steam to whistle careless motorists
off the tracks.
Motorists should remember that there is no general rule
for safe driving except to dodge into a cornfield when you
see an old model T coming.
Further evidence that the financial situation is improv
ing is that no Wall Street broker has jumped out of a twen
tieth story window for several weeks.
Even is a man’s prayers for prosperity were answered, in
nine cases out of ten he’d rob the Lord of all credit and at
tribute his success to his own cleverness.
Armistice and NRA Celebration
The American Legion is to be commended for its pro
posed celebration of Armistice Day. This is one day in the
year which should be observed with fitting ceremony. Not
only to commemorate this memorable day but to remember
those who are in Flander’s Field and others .who are resting
beneath the sod of their native land.
They are planning to make it a joint celebration, or
event. The day is to be set aside as a testimonial to the
President of the United States and the NRA program which
he has instituted. It is entirely fitting that these two events
should be celebrated at the same time, inasmuch as one cele
brates the closing of a terrible war and the other the begin
ning of a war against depression, the aftermath of the World
War.
Merchants in Covington and Newton County have ex
pressed their willingness to co-operate to the extent of enter
ing floats to make the parade an unqualified success.
Those in charge are gratified at the response and are en
thusiastic at the prospects. Lets all work together to the
end of making this event one long to be remembered in
Newton County.
A New Era
Those of us who will be fortunate enough to be alive
ten years from now will look back with amazement at the
changes which have taken place in the business world during
these ten years. A new era is being born during the year
1933 and continued progress will be noted during 1934.
The old order of things have changed and we predict that
the long work day will never return to the American public.
Those who have been accustomed to working twelve or more
hours a day are tasting a new freedom and we may as well
expect them to consent to return to the long work day as
for the colored race to voluntarily return to the condition
of slavery.
Life is short, and for the man of poor circumstances,
exceedingly painful at times. Now that he has some leisure
hours to enable him to see the beauties of nature and mingle
with his fellow man more, he is beginning to enjoy life and
the fullness thereof. The new era will create a new working
class. Many of these workers will use their leisure time to
study and improve their minds as well as their living con
ditions.
President Roosevelt in his effort to give more men em
ployment by shortening working hours has created a new
being which will be a testimony to him throughout the ages.
Many communities are employing school teachers who were
unemployed to educate the adults who have never had the
time to devote to studies.
While Roosevelt did not take this view of the matter,
yet with one stroke of the pen he has done more, for the
working class in shortening hours of labor than countless
strikes and much bloodshed has been able to accomplish.
The condition also places a new responsibility on the
citizens of the communities where the shortening of hours
have been so marked. Their duty is to see that the man
and woman, boy and girl, who have so much leisure on their
hands, spend it in the way which will benefit them and the
community in which they live.

What Spending Does
The average buyer does not realize what his spendings
do to boost business and trade. When you spend one dollar
for certain articles, your money, plus that of other consum
ers, removes the article in question from stock and requires
its replacement. This means jobs. The greater the consump
tion, the greater will be the production and naturally the
greater number of men at work. Regardless of what is
purchased it helps to speed up activities in numerous other
industries from the production of raw materials all through
the stage of manufacture, of selling and distribution, down to
the retail buyer and consumer. To recapture prosperity and
relieve unemployment, buying must proceed in a normal man
ner. It is the only way to pay debts, remove obstacles from
the path of recovery and get the nation back on a sound
economic basis. If you want your dollar to bring good times,
if you want it to bring you a chance to gather in other dol
lars, do with it what it was intended that you should do with
it. Spend it!

As Interpreted by A. Belmont Dennis
Lesson: Acts 15:1-35.
Golden Text—“Where the spirit
of the Lord is, there is liberty.”—
II Corinthians 3:17.
In the course of this history we
now come upon the great contro
versy that struck the early Chris
tian church like a storm that shook
it to the center and threatened dis
ruption and r-uin; but the storm
was weathered and Christianity
started on its career as a world re
ligion and not a Jewish sect.
Peter had his eyes opened down
at Caesarea when he received Cor
nelius and baptized him into the
new faith.
This precipitated a council at
Jerusalem when it was decided
that “to the Gentiles also hath God
granted repentance unto life.
When Paul and Barnabas re
turned from their first missionary
journey back to their home base in
Antioch in Syria, they were con
fronted with this demand, and at
this point our lesson opens.
The Judaistic party at Jerusa
lem, that had opposed the policy
of admitting the Gentiles to the
church all along, were freshly
alarmed at the wide incursion of:
Paul territory and and Barnabas the free into opening Gentile of' [
the church to the uncircumcised
and saw that decisive action must
be taken.
It seemed to them that the ad
mission of the Gentiles into the
church without circumcision was
destructive of the whole system of
Moses that had been cobsecrated
by more than a thousand years of
glorious rible wrench history. and This shock was to a their ter- j j
orthodox consciences, and we may (
well appreciate if not sympathize
witli their sore experience.
Yet, however conscientious they
were, they were not blameless in
their blindness to the breadth and
liberty of the gospel.
They were narrow rigid literal
ists who could sea no room for
growth and progress and could
tolerate no difference of opinion.
We may have a comfortable feel
ing that we embody the closest
approach to truth that has yet
been reached and that others are
right in proportion as they agree
with us. This narrow spirit has
troubled the church from the be
ginning and has split it into a
thousand fragments.
How was this controversy car
ried on and settled? It might have
been conducted so as to have tom
the church in Antioch and the
church at large to pieces and left
warring fragments that soon would
have perished from the world.
They did not fight it out to the
bitter end, but they came together
for a friendly conference.
They sat down together and
talked it over and came to a decis
ion with unexpected equinatnity.
Conference is far more effective
in settling disputes than contro
versy.
Everything depends on the spirit
in which the members of such a
conference meet. If they come to
gether to convict one another of
wrong, they will not unite; but
if they come together to agree on
the right, they will find a point
of unity and peace.
The principle of universal sal
vation was in the Old Testament
(Isa. 2:2) all the while, but the
Jews did not see it until the light
of the gospel fell on its pages and
brought it out in luminous lines.
Thus the council brought these
brethren into agreement and con
solidated the church in the princi
pie and policy of universal salva-,
tion with freedom from the
monial law of Aioses.
Let us admit that the contro
even unto fighting and death
is sometimes the true policy to fol
but only in vital matters of
and after all means of
settlement have been ex
We now come to the decision
the council contained in the
it sent out and which can
understood only in the light of
preceding history.
This letter is preserved for us
and is one of the most important
documents in the history of Chris
tianity.
It first addresses the Gentiles
as brethren, and this in itself is
a notable fact and victory and
carried the whole case for the lib
eral party. It took the Jews a long
time to come to the point of calling
the Gentiles brethren, but they at
last learned this lesson.
When we sincerely view others
from whom we differ as brethren
we shall not be long divided from
them, and this spirit will itself go
far towards healing our differences
and binding us into unity.
The letter next repudiates the
troubles that had subverted men’s
souls.
Next, the letter strongly com
mends “our beloved Barnabas and
Paul, men that have hazarded
their lives for the name of our
Lord Jesus Christ.”
Finally, in the name of the Holy
Spirit, the letter lays upon the
Gentiles "no greater burden than
these necessary things: that ye
abstain from things sacrificed to
idols, and from bfbod, and from
things strangled and from fornica
tion; from which if ye keep your
se i v es, it shall be well with you.
Fare ye well.”
Further elements of compromise
were that while the Gentiles were
released from the cermonial laws
of Moss yet they were to have re
gard for the feelings of the Jews
and were not wantonly to offend
them in their social practices.
They were advised to abstain
from things sacrificed to idols and
from things strangled, for these
gave great offence to the Jews,
The compromise granted the Jew
ish Christians something, and the
liberals did not exact their “pound
of flesh” from them, but they
were enabled “to save their face,’’
as we would say.
The moral law of Moses, how
ever, remained and stands to this
day as one of the things that can
be shaken.
The grand point in this com
was that there bras no di
in the church, neither
to exclude the other, but
was found for both. Let us
be willing to concede much
meet others halfway on com
ground.
