WEEKLY BIBLE QUOTATION
“Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall
find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you.” Mat. 7-7.
The road to the poorhouse wasn’t paved until shortly b6
fore- the depression.
The honeymoon is over when she starts calling him by
his first name instead of Honey.
Domestic bliss is when married people swear by one an
other instead of at one another..
The government may enter business but the bankruptcy
risks always remain with the taxpayers.
Man has one advantage, He needn’t rub anything on
his face to improve his appearance. It just grows.
Fifty years from now the grandfathers will be telling
what a hard time they had getting through college when they
never had money enough to buy more than a gallon of gas
at a time.
Postoffice Cost Under Appropriation
The cost of building the postoffice, according to the low
bid received is approximately $24,000 under the appropria
tj on> the specifications called for concrete and tile in j
It appears j
places where granite and marble should have been used. Con-;
used in the postotiice building.
$65,000 has been allotted tor the Cotington . postoffice
and $65,000 should be spent for same. The citizens of Cov
ington will not be satisfied with any building costing less
than the original appropriation. and
A telegram was sent to Senators Russell and George
Congressman Emmet Owen protesting against the cheapen
ing of the postoffice. Today we received a reply from
Congressman Owen stating he would take the matter up with
the treasury department at once. We feel quite sure the
senators will also attend to the request of the citizens of this
city and we are confident we shall receive our full allotment
if the efforts of our Congressman and Senators can prevail.
Better Housing-Campaign
The “Better Housing Campaign” is now underway and
moving full speed ahead. All the preliminary ground work
has been completed and the organization perfected.
The way has been provided to receive the money for loans
on repairs and rebuilding and applications will be received
from anyone interested.
Space has been provided in the- office of the Newton
County Building and Loan Association and anyone interested
may apply there in person and fill out an application blank
for the amount of money needed for repairs or remodeling.
When the application is approved work can be started im
mediately. The applications are approved right in our city
and there need be no delay.
This is a wonderful opportunity to make your house a
home in every respect by adding the room or rooms which
you have desired so long. This not only gives the home
owner the comforts he desires but also gives employment
to many people at home and throughout the country.
We cannot urge too strongly the citizens of Newton
County to take advantage of this means of repairing or
remodeling their homes and thereby assist the President in
his efforts to relieve unemployment.
To Speed Recovery
Spring is almost here. In the average h@me much
and should be done to increase comfort and efficiency.
is the best season for planning and doing. New life,
urge to be »p and doing something after the winter
tion stirs most normal persons.. The next best thing to
doing something is to have something done. B’sild now ob
repair now r ; it is all the same to men needing jobs and mater
ial needing use. It is not the building of immense sky
scrapers which makes the bulk of the jobs, it is the small
homes costing from three to five and six thousand dollar*
each.
If the old house needs remodeling, the contractors and
workers are ready to get busy at once. If it needs only a
new coat of paint, or a roof, placing it on will protect the in
vestment, increase its beauty and desirability and brighten
the neighborhood.
There are so many ways in which one can help to bring
about the return of better times that nobody needs any sug
gestion. The things needing to be done so far outnumber
those that do not need attention that one must close his eyes
to overlook them. This is a good time to plan and prepare
for doing work that has been neglected, for financial or other
reasons. A busy spring would give a running start for
a year of exceptional progress.
Finding Mistakes
It would appear that some folks read newspapers only to
discover the typographical errors. Every now and then
some reader kids the editor about even the smallest error.
It’s an odd thing, but matter prepared for printing can be, J
read and re-read, and then re-read again, even half a dozen
times—then, soon as the first few papers come off of the |
press someone will discover an error jigging around all over,
the front page like a wig-wag signal starting to work just
as you get right on top of a railroad crossing with the family
flivver. Naturally, quite a few papers will get into circula
tion before the press can be stopped and the error corrected,
and the smaller the error is it looks like the more people insist
on calling attentioh to it. And yet, we’d like to wager there
were chiseled errors on Moses’ tablets of the Ten Command
ments, if only the original issue could be dug up.

PETER PREACHES AT
PENTECOST
Golden Text: “And Peter said
Repent and bei t
unto them, ye,
baptized everyone of you in the,
name of Jesus Christ unto the re .
mission of your sins; and ye shall
receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. •■
Acts 2:38. |
The first recorded Christian]
church was a small church with
only one hundred and twenty
members, bu; these were fused in
to one great faith and passion,
an open channel free from human
clogs of faction and .strife through
whicli the Spirit of God could flow
in unobstructed fulness, and such
a church will ever be drenched
and flooded with Pen ecostal
power. j
Peter reached the greatest Christ-^ ser
mon j n th e history of the
ian church. The fieherman
preacher, illiterate and rough, who
only a few weeks before swore
:hat he did not know Christ, now
stood up with marvelous courage
and might.
His sermon was rooted down in
their own history and experience
and it climaxed in the conclusion,
“Let all the house of Israel there
fore know assuredly, -that God
hath made him both Lord and
Christ, this Jesue whom ye cruci
fied.”
His sermon was no smooth
speech consisting of platitudinous
butTlheaf rt ‘ “riJrojrthS
went e;ralKht int0 the bosoms #
his hearers so ithat “they were
pricked in their heart” and began
to cry out, “Brethren, w r hat shall
we do?” Better is this record
than if it had read .that they were
gratified in their ta.-te or pleased
with the preacher.
The soul is not reached until
td f hea rt is stirred; and the first
t
disease is to know that we have

the eternal counsel of God down
to the present hour, and the only
link that now remains in our own
ac.ion. “What must we do?”
Peter without the loss of a mo
ment or the waste of a woid gave
an answer that exactly aid fully
met the question of the hour. The
substance of his message was coil
densed into one vibrant word, Re
pent!
This is the first recorded word
in the public preaching of Jesus,
as it was also in the preaching of
John the Baptist, and it every
where stands in the forefront of
the gospel.
The word in the Greek literally
means, change the mind, The
word mind in this connection
means the whole soul in all its
powers of thought feeling and ac
tion, a broad deep word that
grasps the inner character and the
outer life and covers the whole
man.
Changing the mind is something
we can do and we build all our
life, in business and society as
well as in repentance, upon this
voluntary power.
This word rolls a tremendots
weight of responsibility upon us.
We are to change our minds out
of sin towards Christ, on* of in
difference and inaction into faith
and obedience.
Th* gospel has not changed its
message in passing from John to
Jesus and from Jesus to Peter and
from P eter ! to us, but with ail Rs

We do not need new truth and

The whofe Bible under this pro
cess can be translated into :he
principle, “This is that,” and ap

Three 'thousand souls were con
verted and the little c lurch be
came a multitude in a day. This
was in the proportion of twenty
five converts to each member, but
now this ratio has been reversed
and the proportion has decreased
to twenty-five members to one an
nual convert.

Bilious Attacks
For bilious attacks due to consti
pation, thousands of men and wom
en take Thedford’s Black-Draught
because It is purely vegetable and
brings prompt, refreshing relief.
“I have used Black-Draught,” writes
Mr. T. L. Austin, of McAdenville,
N. C. “There is a package of it on
my mantel now. I take It for bili
ousness. If I did not take it, the
dullness and headache would put me out
of business. It Is the quickest medicine
to relieve me that I know.”

and Christ reign!
We cannot obey Christ in points
and Parts, but must go with him
3 -* 1 tde way- Hap.ism is still the
appointed sign of fellowship in his
company, and if w-e are ashamed
of it we are ashamed of him, and
at la^t he will be ashamed of i
us.
Finally, these converts contln
ued steadfas:. They did "not s:a r t I
enthustically and then slow
down and at last stop, but they
kept on. They continued in the
apostles' teaching and fellowship, ■
they kept faith and works grow
ing together; and they continued
“in breaking bread,” probably the!
Lord's supper, and in “the pray
ers,” at the prayer meeting,
They began gladly and con in
ued steadfastly, and such Christ
ian life goes on to perfection. They
were all filled with the Holy
Spirit.”
Here at last is something of
which there is enough for ue all.
It is surprising how few are the I
things that are bestowed upon us
all, but as there is enough air to
fill all lunge so is there enough
of God’s Holy Breath to fi>l all]
souls.
