U'.' -V, THE BARNWELL PEOPLE-SENTINEL, BARNWELL, SOUTH CAROLINA V THURSDAY, MARCH 1932. JOHN W. HOLMES 1849—1912. B. P. DAVIES, Editor and Proprietor. Entered at the post office at Barnwell, S.

The “ffenerous” assembly would better describe South Carolina’s law making body. One Solution. Several years ago, a gentleman from a Northern State was a visitor in Columbia and took advantage of the opportunity to visit the general assembly, then in session. After he people to pay them beyond their means. Some classes of people hav« invested their dollars in farms or cotton mills or lumber millsN>r some other form of manufacturing, rather than in an education for the purpose of making a livelihood by teaching, but no one contends that the State of South Carolina owe g this class a debt that must be paid regardless of the financial condition of the people. In private walk* cf life, th remunera tion is largely governed by financial conditions, but this, it seems, does |iot obtain in political and politico- educational walks. Had the State of South Carolina gone to the parents of the many thous ands of school teachers (both employ ed and unemployed) and said in sub stance, "We want you to educate your child to teach in the public schools of South Carolina and will guarantee a minimum wage of 8100 a month,” the State would no doubt owe a debt to that extent. But the Stat e did not urge the parents to educate their children for the profession of teach- ing.. And speaking of this “debt to the to meet such expenses—even after they are cut 50 percent. They have busted the taxpayers with their ex travagance, waste and graft—and now—it’s simmered down to this: It’s either get down to brass tacks or re-, pudiate and bust and atari over— prid e or no pride, neighbor or no neighbor. And There Went Forth a Yeung Man. My first venture into the realm of social affability came upon me when I was budding into long britches and shaving a few little patches of white fuzz off my face. In other words, I was approaching 21 years of age,, manhood, freedom and mat rimony. < ihxppnvFn UNIFORM INTERNATIONAL S UNDAY I chool Lesson :By REV. R B. KlTZVVATER. t>. t>.. Mem ber of Faculty.

Does not ter, he was asked what he though of South Carolina’s law-making body. "If you want my frank opinion,” he replied, “I think you ought to set fire to the State Hou*e and shoot the legislators as they jump out of the windows.” We won’t go a s far as that, quite, but if the Senate and House pass a ten million dollar appropriation bill thi? year, which will necessitate an increase in the property levy, w e will favor setting fire to the State House and shooting those who vote for such « bill as they jump out of the windows. ‘Playing Politics.” Because of his fight in the State Senate last week against the appro priation bill carrying the huge total of ten million dollars, Senator Edgar A. Brown, of Barnwell, was accused of “playing politics.” B e that as it may, the State owe them a debt too, ori does the debt apply only to the em ployed teachers? But after all, it isn’t so much a question of what the teachers are worth in dollars and cents—it is a question of the ability of South Caro lina to continue to pay 25-cent cotton salaries with seven-cent cotton. We are jEiaced with facts—not theories. Katie Green invited me to her lawn party which was scheduled for Friday night at 8 o’clock, sharp.:._I was somewhat too sharp; I got there at 7:15 and had to sit out on a bench in the front yard for an hour, as I saw no life within or without Katie’s domicile. \ I had no Ford to crank or buggy to hitch old Pete onto, so I got me a tow-sack and made a saddle and rode that animal those 6 miles.

He knew that his disciples would shamefully forsake him in a few hours. He knevr that one of that number would be the instrument in the hands of the Devil in his betrayal. He was fully con scious of his deity. He knew that all things were In his hands. Despite all this, he displayed great patience and manifested untiring love. He did not withdraw his love from them because of their weakness and the shameful failure which he knew would soon be made manifest. He not only loved them to the end of his earthly min* Istry, but loved them unto the “utter most.” “Loved to the uttermost” means that he bestowed upon them his love even to the extent of taking their place in de^th. II. Christ Washing the Disciples’ Feet (vv. 4-11). This act was symbolic of his amaz ing love for his disciples. Jesus did not regard his hands too holy to do this menial service. 1. Steps In this service (vv. 4-6). He rises from supper. . Laid aside his garments. Took a towel and girded himself. Poured water into a basin. Washed his disciples’ feet. Wiped them with the towel wherewith he was girded. These steps symbolize Christ’s en tire work of redemption. His rising from supper represents his rising from his place of enjoyment in the heaven ly glory. His laying aside his gar ments symbolized his putting aside bis vesture of majesty (Phil. 2:7, 8). His girding himself symbolized his taking the form of a servant (Phil.

His taking his garments again—his returning to his place and position of glpry. 2. Peter’s Impetuosity and ignor ance (vv. 6-9). When he realized what ihe Lord was doing, he refused to have his feet washed. When he realized the peril of refusal, he de sired to he fully washed. He went from one extreme to another. 3. The significance of this service to those who participate in it (vv. S-ll). n. It is a spiritual cleansing (v. 8). Fellowship with Jesus is only possible as we are continuously cleansed from our sins. The cleansing here is not the washing of regeneration, but that, of sanctification. Even those who are regenerated need the continual cleans ing of Christ’s blood in order to have fellowship with him. Ho that is re generated; that is. washed in the blood of Christ (symbolized by water baptism), does not need a repetition of the act, but he needs the cleasing of sanctification (sytftbolized by the washing of the feet). ,h.* A badge of brotherly affection (v. 14).

This was a lesson much needed by the dis ciples, and much needed by us all to day. They had just been disputing ns to who should be the greatest in the kingdom. Thus their selfish am bition was expressing itself. On every hand we see expressions of pride, vanity, and even arrogance, in those who are professed followers of the lowly Jesus. d. Equalization (v. 16). As the disciples were thus served by Jesus t’hrist, their vAJn ambftions were re buked. To enter into this service in the Spirit of Christ is to encounter a leveling of humanity. 111. An Example for Us (vv. 14-10).
