BRYAN COUNTY-GARDEN SPOT-
For* a long time we have felt like we lived in
the best section of the best state in the best coun
try in the world, and the longer we live, the more
convinced we are that we are right.
On Sunday we motored through the states
between Pembroke and Washington, D. C., and
on Wednesday we made the trip back. The first
day or so was alright, but by Tuesday the water
did not taste just right, the food began to bore
us, and the further south we came, he better the
food was, and the better the food tasted, and also
the better the ladies looked to us. In fact we did
not see the first one that would make us take a
second look until we had breakfast at Raleigh.
The little lady that served us, and by the way this
was one of our best meals, was just as cute and
pretty as a new’ silver dollar. She made all of us
look the second time, and every one agreed that
the south had the finest looking women as well
as all the other advantages.
Yes the trip was fine, we enjoyed everv
minute of it, but the prettiest place we saw on the
entire trip was the City Limits of Pembroke, on
our return trip.
Many of our people should be made to go off,
and stay awhile, then they would learn to apprec
iate our own section for its true value.
Ye editor’s son Bobby has often remarked
that the prettiest country he ever saw was that
between Pembroke and Lanier, and he has been
over most of the world serving Uncle Sam. He
is at home now and still believes that the Garden
Spot of the Universe is Pembroek, Bryan Coun
ty, Georgia.
And he isn’t far from being right.

Remember How
We Talked?
It went like this at the Hooper's
the other night, flap's eighteen
year-old daughter is talking about
"a real gone guy—solid—out of this
world, but def.”
“Now what kind of language is
thatt" Hap barks. "Can’t she speak
English’"
“I’ll translate it for yon.’* Ma
Hooper says, “in the language of
the twenties, when you were about
twenty years old. She simply means
thia fellow is the 'cat’s whiskers.'
Remember how we used to talk
sometimes?” Hap went back to
reading his newspaper.

From where I ait, it’s easy to
criticize the other person when we
don’t take a good long look at our
selves. Sure, there’ll always be
some differences. I’m fond of a
temperate glass of beer and maybe
you would prefer ginger ale—but
let’s just live and let live. Because
when we go out of our way to find
things to find fault with in others,
chances are they con find a few la
us, too.

Behold The Man!
Lesson for June 5, 1949
LAST JANUARY a man In Holland
wrote to the high court of the
new nation of larael, petitioning for
a review, now nearly 1,000 years af
terwards, of the
Dr. Foreman
trial of Jesus by
the court at Jeru
salam in the year
80 A. D. That court
may never review
the case, and psr
hapa baa no legal
right to do so. But
history has re
viewed it, and re
versed it. Jeaus
was tried by at
leaat four tribunals on the early
morning of the flrat Good Friday.
But the verdict of history la that
the courta were guilty, one and all.
while the priaoner waa innocent.
• • •
Sentence first,
Verdict afterwards
BESIDES the informal hearing be
fore the ex-high priest Annas,
there was the formal trial before
the High Priest Caiaphas. He pre
sided over the Sanhedrin, the su
preme court of the Jews at that
time. It was a learned tribunal,
venerated all over the Jewish world.
As the lawyers might say, its writ
ran everywhere; its decisions were
quoted as precedent in Alexandria,
Babylon, Spain. You might have
expected it to be dignified, honor
able. But not on that night, with
that vfcim.
You might as well expect a
peck of wolves, starved In mid
winter, to be dignified and hon
orable with a sheep In their
circle. These men, and their
Intimate friends, had been de
scribed by the Prisoner, not
long before, tn words that stuck
In their brains like arrowheads.
"Whited sepulchres . . . full of
all unclesnnesa ... ye say, and
do not . . . yet devour widows'
houses . . . blind guides . . .
offspring of vipers. . . ”
If thers had been any hope that
they might change. Jesus would not
(have used such words. So they had
made up their minds: He must die.
Now was their hour, while the city
slept. Leader of the pack was this
Caiaphas. As the farce of a trial
went on and the high priest by
grace of Rome faced Jesua, High
Priest by the grace of God. what
did ho ase In Jesus’ eyes?
• • •
That Fox
IF CAIAPHAS was a wolf, Herod
was a fox. It was Jesus' nick
nams for him. On that April morn
ing this fox had the surprise of his
lifetime. Before he could collect
his wits, he was facing the very man
whom his private police force had
been vainly trying to arrest — Jesus
of Nazareth. Two kings faced each
other in Herod’s hall that morning.
The one wearing a robe and crown,
seated on aome kind of throne, waa
one of the most un-kingly men who
ever bore the royal title. The other,
in plainest citizens' clothes, and no
crown, no throne to be seen, was
the one real king who has lived
among men.

“Suffered Under
Pontius Pilate’’
PONTIUS PILATE, procurator of
Judea, deputy plenipotentiary
of his Imperial Majesty, sat on his
judgment seat and looked at Jesus,
Six times he had looked at him; six
times he had made certain that this
young prisoner was an innocent
man, and six times he had said so,
even in the face of the mob.
The noises in the street confused
him. Ho could not hear, down
through the centuries, the voices of
millions of men, women and chil
dren, rising up week after week
and repeating the words, almost
like a curse: “ —and in Jesus Christ,
His only Son, our Lord, who . . .
suffered under Pontius Pilate.” The
voices In the street drowned the
voices of the centuries.
But if, as Pontius Pilate
turned Jesus over to the will
at those who hated him, he
had dared to look into Jesus’
eyes, and what would he have
seen?
To thia very day. and to the end
of time, in all places and among
all men. ’his Christ whom the world
holds in chains is jet the Judge
of ovary man. Men may say of
Jesus what they wish, and he will
bo silent still But in his eyes is the
verdict A man is judged by his
own judgment of Jesus Christ. And
you, too. Facing you, he looks
straight through you. What do you
mo in Jesus' eyes?
