Wednesday morning in chapel, Mr. Barfield brought the students of McCormick High School a very fitting Thanksgiving message. He read the thirty-third Psalm, a beautiful Thanksgiving passage of scripture. He said that Jehovah is the giver of all things. We are only trustees put here to use and tend to His things. We should be thankful for the many things He has given us . Jehovah made us and He is guiding us with tender care. Although others may have more than we, let us not be envi ous but be thankful for what we have. R.

At first, it was a harvest thanks giving and though the purpose has become less specific, the day is still celebrated late in the fall after all !he crops have been gathered. Thanksgiving was started in the New World by the Plymouth Col ony. The first terrible winter had passed, taking as its toll, the lives of nearly half the Pilgrim com pany., Summer came and renewed hope sprang up. When the corn crop was gathered in the fall of 1681, Governor Bradford decreed a day of Thanksgiving. The prep arations for this were great. The women spent days boiling, baking and roasting. Friendly Indians came and brought wild turkeys and GOOD WINNER. It is harder to be a good winner than a good loser. A good winner is a new creation upon the face of the earth. * Once it was held that to the winner belong the spoils. Even our political parties have begun to doubt this philosophy. Human psychology is such that it is even easier to remain calm, understand ing, and co-operative in disap pointment than to remain humble, unselfish, and uncondescending in success. The winner who sticks his nose into the air is certainly too sorry a spectacle to be called a winner. The person who has gain ed wealth, power, or fame and con siders it an addition to his personal importance instead of an increase in his social responsibilities will sooner or later call himself a mis erable loser. / Democracy cannot live without good losers and good winners, and therefore, democracy tends to cre ate these fine breeds of men. Losers and winners, minorities and majorities, all have their places in a progressive and orderly society. Only individual and social unsel fishness can make good losers and winners—and good democracies. THANKSGIVING’ 5 " We thank thee. Lord, for love and . prayer We thank thee for thy daily care, We thank th6e for thine eye of love, That shines down on us from above. We have so many things to be thankful for, They, many in number are— So we thank thee, Lord, for all thy gifts, That help us in anyway, To live and work the long, long day. By Charles Jennings and Gladys Price. XXX Savory Stuffing For Holiday Meat It makes no difference whether the choice for the main dish is meat or fowl, a savory stuffing just seems to be a part of the holiday dinner. A shoulder of lamb or perk, boned and stuffed, makes a splendid holiday meat dish for the small family. The crown roast of pork or lamb makes a right royal dish for the center of the Sun day or Christmas or New Year’s dinner. All of these very good dishes are made even better by the addition of a dressing. The department of home eco nomics, National Live Stock and Meat Board, offers these very ex cellent recipes for making good stuffings that are different. Dutch Dressing 3 cups bread crumbs. Milk to cover. 3 eggs, beaten. 1 teaspoon salt. 1-4 teaspoon pepper. 1-2 teaspoon ground sage. 3 sour apples. 1-4 pound bacon. 1 medium-sized onion. Soak bread crumbs in milk enough to cover. Squeeze dry, add eggs, seasonings, and apples, chop ped. Cut bacon into thin strips and put in a frying-pan with the chopped onion. Fry until brown, constipation "I had a stubborn case of constipation after a very severe spell of grip,” says Mr. John B. Hutchison, of Neosho, Mo. "When I would get constipated, I’d feel so sleepy, tired and worn-out. "When one feels this way, work is much harder to do, especially farm work. I would have dizzy headaches when I could hardly see to work, but after I read of Black-Draught, I began tak ing it. I did not have the headaches any more. "When I have the sluggish, tired feeling, I take a few doses of Black-Draught, and it seems to carry off the poison and I feel just fine. I use Black-Draught at regu lar intervals. It is easy to take and I know it helps me.” This medicine is compos ed of pure botanical roots and herbs. Contains no chemi cals.

C., Dec. 1.— A protest regarding the discrim ination against the colored race in the matter of furnishing educa tional opportunities was made re cently by John W. Davis, president of West Virginia State College, one of the / ^ membership of the Hoover Commission on Education. In pointing out a few examples of this discrimination he stated: “The high school enrollment among Negroes in the Southern States is less than 10 per 1,000, while in the United States the number of high school students per 1,000 is 39. For every 10,000 whites there are 92 who attend college in seventeen Southern States and the District of Colum bia, while in the same territory seventeen negro students are en rolled in colleges out of every 10,- 000. ‘Tn fourteen Southern States there were in 1929 only 256 state- accredited four-year high schools for Negroes. In not one of sixteen Southern States has any provision been made for graduate or profes sional training of Negroes. In fif teen Southern States the average annual salary for white teachers is $984, and for negro teachers is $478. The white teachers average 32 pupils each, while the negro teachers average 44. The average expenditure per white pupil is $30.77, and for the negro pupil is $10.24. The average length of term for whites is 162 days, and for Negroes 135. “Seventeen land-grant colleges for Negroes in as many States re ceive annually $338,000 out of $13,- 000,000 from Federal grants. This is about one-fortieth of the total for about one-tenth of the popula tion. It would require annually about $2,500,000 more of Federal money to bring these negro col leges up to parity with the white colleges in the same states. These inequalities hamper the Negro in every phase of life.” X The way some folks act, it seems that the. .missing., link didn’t miss by more than one or two jumps.

The early church was threatened with disruption over suspected par tiality in the distribution of alms. As soon as the church had relief from external troubles, difficulties arose from within. A congregational meet ing was called, the case placed before the church with instructions to select seven men of good reputation, and Spirlt-fliled, to administer the tem poralities of the church, thus giving the apostles the necessary time for prayer and the ministry of God’s word. Among the seven deacons chosen, Stephen occupied first place. The essential qualifications for the deacon’s office are: 1. Integrity. They were instructed to look for men of good report, of un questioned integrity. 2. Sagacity. They were to look for men full of wisdom, men of common sense and good judgment. 3. Spirituality. They were to be men full of the Holy Ghost. II. Stephen Before the Council (Acts 6:9-15). 1. Disputing with Stephen (vv. 9, 10). Certain foreign speaking Jews took the lead In this controversy. Per haps the fact that Stephen was a Gre- dan-Jew provoked them to this action. He was more than a match for them while the debate was carried along the lines'of reason and Scripture. Beaten along these lines, they had him ar rested and brought before the Council. t 2. Charged with blasphemy (vv. 13 14). They trumped up this charge against him and endeavored to sup port It by secretly finding and indue ing men to perjure themselves in their testimony. Stephen showed in ids preaching that God’s purpose was progressive and that the policy insti tuted by Moses would he superseded by the new faith, since it was but the culmination of what Moses began. Christianity did not destroy Judaism but caused it to blossom forth into the glory of the new order. 3. Stephen’s face transfigured (v. 15). He was so completely filled with Christ that as he saw the angry mob and realized how soon he would be vio lently dealt with and thus pass into the presence of the Lord, his face shone as the face of an angel. III. Stephen's Defense (Acts 7:1- 53). In refuting their charge he showed by the history of God’s dealing with the Jews that they had always re sisted him. Therefore, their present attitude was because they were un willing to move forward with the di vine purpose. According to Dr. Stifler, four points emerge in this defense: 1. God’s dealing with the Jews showed progress. It was not reached by a single leap, but by gradual stages. 2. The temple was not the only holy place. God appeared at different times and in different places. 3. Israel invariably opposed God in his effort to lead them on. 4. He showed his loyality to Moses by constantly referring to him. IV. Stephen Stoned (Acts 7:54-60). His words cut them to the heart so they gnashed upon hiip with their teeth. 1. Looking steadfastly into heaven (v. 55). Instead of looking upon his murderers he looked up to heaven. 2. He saw the glory of God (v. 55). A vision of God’s glory is only possible to those who are loyal unto death. 3. He saw Jesus standing on the right hand of God (vv. 55, 56), showing that he was actively interested in the suffering of his faithful witness. 4. They cast him out of the city and stoned him (vv. 58, 59). 5. His prayer (v. GO). He kneeled down and cried with a loud voice, “Lord, lay not this sin to their charge.’’ How like the prayer of Jesus on the cross. 6. He fell asleep (v. 60). The Chris tian s death is only a sleep. This sub lime scene must have vitally affected Saul who was consenting unto his death. -XXX- Plum Branch Baptist Church Schedule Rev. J. L. BOBO, Pastor.
