Easter Services Well Attended
Several hundred people attended the second annual
Easter Sunrise Service held last Sunday morning on
square. All parking places around the square were taken
and several cars double parked.
Rain fell when the services were half over and a few
left hurriedly but the great majority remained throug
out until the benediction.
It was unfortunate that it should rain but it fended
very little to mar the beautiful service. The Covington
Music Club and the Emory-at-Oxford Glee Club both
under the direction of Professor Virgil Eady sang in an
inspiring manner.
Rev. C. S. Forester delivered a beautiful Easter Mes
sage and it is carried in full elsewhere in this issue that all
of our readers may be able to enjoy it. We urge each one
to read the message therein as it will prove an inspiration
to one and all.
We wish to comend the Covington Kiwanis Club for
paving the hill for the service to be sent over WAG A and
we believe the steps taken to broadcast the services will
prove a boon to many for its beauty and solemnity were
made available to thousands outside of the few hundred
who were fortunate enough to hear it on our own public
square.
We trust these Easter Sunrise Services will be perpet
uated in our city. Certainly they bring' all to the realization
of the Love of Christ and our'dependence upon this love.
ians Th§y of also promote a bond of unity among the Christ
our city binding us all closer together in His ser
vice.
The tendency of the whole world, especially throug
out the United States to observe Easter in a fitting man
ner is indeed encouraging. No day on earth is so import
ant to mankind in its promise of life everlasting.
The crowds which throng to these services also is an
indication that the world is once more turning to the teach
ings of the Christ whose ressurection is celebrated on
Easter morn.
Love is blind. Typographical errors that were not
noticed during the rush of marriage begin to show up
after the honeymoon is over.
No matter how many fine clothes you have, it’s the
kind of expression you wear that is most important.
Porter Memorial Chimes Dedicated
The dedication of the McCracken Memorial chimes
which have been installed in the steeple of the First Meth
odist Church were fittingly B J observed at the elevn o'clock
services Sunday c , morning.
Mr. James Potrer, who contributed the chimes, was
present, as were several members of the Porter family.
These chimes are just another indication of the mag
nanmity of Mr. James Porter. He has proven by his many .
acts of generosity toward projects in Newton county thal
he is deeply interested in his native county. I
We wish to take this opportunity to express the ap
preciation of the people of this county in their newspaper
to Mr. Porter. It is refreshing indeed to come in contact
with a man of his calibre.
He is using his wealth for the benefit of others and
his many deeds of unselfishness will remain as a memorial
to him long after he has departed from this earth.
Naturally of a kindly and generous disposition, he
evidences his joy in giving to others. We sincerely trust
his days will be long and jiis life full of the happiness he
has been able to give.
The ceremony was brief and without pomp or cere
mony, emblematic of the simplicity of the man who gave
them. The name of James Porter is much beloved in this
community and the man himself deserves the highest
praise for his many kindly deeds.
No man is a confirmed failure until he begins to hate
those who have made a success of life. !

National Politics Still Muddled
The recent primaries have proven nothing that was
gnot already known. Mr. Roosevelt can in all probability
*get the Democratic nomination if he wants it. Yet more
r »nd more comes from informed Washington sources to
'indicate that he does not plan to run again. That seems
.'to be in the lap of the gods.

the KINGDOM AND MISSIONS
Lesson: Matthew 28: 1 to 20.
Golden Text: Ye shall be wit
nesses unto me . . . unto the ut
termost part of the earth.—Acts
1 : 8 .
Then came the message to them,
“Go and tell.” They came only
that they might go; they received
only that they might giVe. The
good news turned the tragedy of
the tomb into unspeakable joy, and
now they were to share the bless
ing with others.
Ail good things are given to us
that we may pass them on and
share them with the world.
When we try to shut them up in
oui t hearts and lives they turn
stagnant and breed slime and
death. Fling them forth in streams
of blessing upon others they not
only make other lives grow green
and glad, but they also keep the
foundtain of our own hearts pure
and sweet.
Especially is it true of the good
news of the gospel that we can
get it only as we give it, we can
keep it only as we share it. Good
news grows better by telling it.
and it is by telling the gospel that
it is better understood and ap
preciated by us and grows more
abundant and riche rin our own
lives.
But we must go in order to tell.
We cannot impart this message by
st ‘’ n ^ ing stlll or by activity and

Never was the field so wide

what we have with wih
ingness and self-sacrifice and joy.
We pass in the story to Galilee
and are present on a mountain
with the disciples to hear what
the risen Master has to say. Paul
tells us “above five hundred
brethren” (I Cor. 15:6) saw the
risen Jesus, and this w T as probably
the occasion. “And when they
saw him, they worshipped him.”
They may have bowed or pros
trated themselves before him after
the Oriental manner, expressing
their adoration.
Worship is our sense of worth
ship, and these believers thereby
declared their belief in the "divine
rank and worth of the risen Christ.
Their faith started with him as
a man, but now it ended with him
as the Son of God. They saw him
in the light of the resurrection as
the express image of the Father.
and their hearts went out to him
in faith and fellowship, love and
obedience.
It is because we can worship
Christ that we can also work for
him.

THE COVINGTON NEWS
He did not set out on the enter
prise of world-redemption with
out counting the cost and seeing
that he had the % to it
means carry
through and nothing in it shall
fail which all authority can ac
complish. Heaven is on the side
of Jesus Christ an dwheels all its
batalions under his banner. He
and the Father are one, and this
gives him all the power that re
sides in God.
Since all power can do all things
we might now expect that Jesus
with his own hand would bring
immediate redemption to all the
world. But this is not the divine
logic and method. “Go ye there
fore, and make disciples of all
the nations.”
«
Divine power mus have human
means through which to work.
Christ stands back of us with his
power, but we must go at his
bidding and do his work.
From the mountain top of his
ascension his disciples started forth
on this mission, radiating from
that center, and they have gone on
until they have everywhere
reached the rim of the world!
Standing on that Galilean moun
tain top Jesus Christ was looking
out over all the world and gather
ing it into his kingdom. Christ
ianity is no national or racial re
ligion, it refuses to stop at any
mountain range or ocean shore,
but like the atmosphere it over
flows all boundaries and obstruc
tions and must envelop the globe.
The gospel is the true power and
program of social reconstruction
by means of individual regenera
tion, leavening the whole lump and
mass of the world by leavening
each individual particle.
And he promised tl<^» his pres
ence would be with his disciples,
“even unto the end of the world.'’
Christ in his Spirit is now in the
world and has access to the sym
pathetic minds and hearts of his
disciples to guide and inspire them
in the * r grand world enterprise,
We should enter into it and feel
its mighty urge and forward
movement.
