McCormick Terrifies
Everyone will probably want to
know what they are, who composes
them and what they are doing.
The Terrifies are the original “bo-
hunk’’ basketball team composed of
boys in the town of McCormick.
They have a'fast team and with more
practice should make a very formid
able quintet.
The Terrifies have as players:
Coaches Habel and Taylor, Klugh
Connoi;, Edward Killingsworth and
James Acker.
The Terrifies went to Abbeville
last Thursday night to play the
strong Abbeville Textile Team and
after an exciting struggle emerged
v’etors by the close score of 30 to
29. Connor proved to be a wizard
in dribbling and shooting but was
ably supported by his team mates.
The Terrifies have several games
scheduled. They 4>lay Graniteville
at Graniteville on February 17, and
Abbeville at Abbeville on February
23.
The team would appreciate very
much any help offered them in se
curing transportation, as the team,
on account of having no indoor court,
‘can only play games away from
home.

Barbara, California.)
LUKE 22:14.
And I if I be lifted up-^JOHN
12:32.
In our first paragraph we find the
origin of all the foolishness of the
unlucky thirteen. ,
If there was any luck at all in this
connection we must conclude that it
was all good luck. Christ came and
suffered the ignominious dpath of
the cross in order that we may enter
into the more abundant life. Then,
when Judas went and hanged him
self the world was well rid of a hyp
ocrite, m thief and a devil. Perhaps
m iftbft bitten dregs of the cup con
templafid by our Lord was the kiss
of this dirty traitor. In past mem
ory we recall three kissed by men,
one lunatic, one drunk, and the oth
er, well, doubtless badly cracked in
the dome- In ecah instance it was
a very disgusting ordeal. Talk about
Christ jiot being divine. A mere man
would have knocked the brute down,
stomped him, and perchance saved
him the task of committing suicide.
Not so long ago, a lecturer in a
nearby city was reputed to have con
trasted the work of the several apos
ties, giving Judas the greatest hon
or, the brightest crown and softest
seat in heaven, thus putting a prem
ium on hypocracy and suicide. We
surmise that Judas had a lonely time
awaiting the arrival of Wilks Booth
Getto and Golgother’s making up his
quartet to tune their golden harps
to swell the chorus in the songs o€
Moses and the Lamb. Indeed this is
none other than the seducing spirits
and doctrines of devils going about
to deceive many. If this rotten junk
be true, we may as well insure all
our churches and burn them down,
get the money and have a good time,
with every man a law unto himself.
For surely heaven must be a prepar
ed place for the devil and all his
tribe. And the black or the devil the
brighter the crown.
And I if I be lifted up.
Of all the parts taken in our
Lord’s crucifixion I would envy
Simeon’s or Simon’s part. Oft times
I think if I could only have been
there and taken the heavier end of
the cross as its weight crushed our
Savior to earth and helped to have
bonne it up to .Golgother’s brow no
greater joy would I crave than to
realize t hat I had helped" to lift the
load which prostrated out Lord in
the dust.
Lift up the Christ the only hope
of the world. Peter on the day of
pentecost wasted no time in brag
ging about the great fisherman he
had been nor how nearly he came to
imitate his Lord in walking on the
water. He well knew that all that
soit of stuff had no saving power in
it but that Christ was all in all, of
whom Moses in the law did write.
.Philip likewise wasted no time in
telling the Etheopian what a great
prophet Isaiah was but began at the
same chapter and preached to him
Christ realizing that there was no
time to bother about non-essentials.
In like manner, Paul the greatest
scholar of his time said, “I choose
to know nothing among you save
Jesus Christ and him crucified.”
Christ was lifted up beyond the
clouds. Said he jfc I go and prepare

McCORMICK, S. C.
a place for you I will come again and
receive you unto myself. We were
taught in our old grammar that
was a copulative conjunction imp
ing doubt but there is no doubt on
his part nor such as Paul, Petor and
John, but coming to such as. Judas
it must stab all such as a dagger in
the heart- There has been a hub
bub of * late years about communi
cating with Mars and great wonder
if this planet is inhabited. Why not
utilize this time with an earnest en
deavor to get in closer communica
tion with heaven. We have the bless
ed assurance that Christ is there
along with Moses and Elijah and the
innumerable throng which John saw
aside from the many things Paul saw
up in the third‘heaven unlawful to
tell.
Lift up the Christ. Some years
ago we were invited to go and hear
a Mr. Yatman preach and in his dis-
