“He who has lost confidence
*
can lose nothing more—Boiste
To believe in one’s self—to believe
in one’s neighbors—how essential to
good business!
The chronic knocks at everything
except the door of opportunity. See
ing no good in himself, he vents his
spleen upon his neighbors and be-
< comes a thorn in the side of the com
munity.
Pushing and pulling together, with
the right view point, in the militant
cause of a community’s fortunes and
prosperity finally flows again in a
golden stream.
Give my community unbelievers,
and it plays a dirge in the march of
events. Give my community more
believers and I’ll show you a citizen
ship working miracles.
Community confidence is the key
stone to civic and commercial achieve
ment. Cultivate it.

§<£ two outstanding suggestions offer-
ed by C. A. Mavs. coun f v Ob'"’ \
88 . in reply to a request from J. Wil
son Gibbes, secretary of cne staxe
democratic executive committee,
• for suggestions on changes :n tiie
primary rules:
Mr. Mays’ letter follows in full:
I have yours requesting opinion
of democratic county chairmen as
to technical details of the opera
tion of the democratic primary and
also their opinion on several points
suggested which might amount to
fundamental changes in the rules.
I heartily agree with your appar
ent nlan to develop full discussion
of the rules during an off-year
when no one can be charged with
framing the rules so as to affect
the fortunes of any particular is
sue or candidate. I shall offer a
copy of this letter to the press as
an invitation to others, whether
officials of the party or not, to ex
press themselves through similar
channels so that the committee
may have the consensus of opinion
on the natter.
The rules seem to provide that
the enrollment book shall be k°ot
at some place designated by the
executive committee, and they
have been so construed through
two campaigns in this county. I
am informed that in some places
the enrollment book is taken from
house to house for the conveni
ence of the voters. The rules should
be clarified in this resnect so as
to insure uniformity of practice.
Personally I feel that there’s less
likelihood of irregularity and gen
eral dissatisfaction if the book is
strictly kept in the place designat
ed by the committee. Voters should
be willing to submit to slight in
convenience of going to the regis-
3 tration place for the sake of regul-
m arity.
Can a vote be thrown out on the
ground of non-residence where the
point is noV ralsed until Sofne one
challenges the voter at the ballot
box on election day? My answer
to this question would be “No.”
Such objections should be filed be
fore the rolls are purged and certi
fied by the county committee in
order that there may be time to
determine the facts and law of the
case after due investigation be
fore the election is held.
The rules clearly provide that
enrolled voters who cannot come
to the polls because of sickness can
vote by mail. There is some con
fusion as to whether persons ab
sent for business reasons should
also be permitted to vote which
should be cleared up. Voting by
mail is a valuable privilege to
those who really cannot, without
great sacrifice, attend the polls,
->ut in the interest of regularity
md simplification of elections the
privilege should be closely restrict-
’ 5d to cases of necessity.
Do the rules permit the accept
ance of ‘absentee votes only when
'^ceived through the mails? If not
an amendment should be made
aroviding that persons otherwise
qualified to vote bv mail can ap
pear in person before the enroll
ment committee within a certain
"umber of days before the elec-
ion and nrenare and deposit seal-
3d votes with the committee in
stead of having to take them away
and mail them back.
Th« county-to-county meetings
served a useful purpose when
roads were bad and our people de^
oended upon horses and mules as
hmr principal means of transpor-
ption but the meetings have al
ways been limited in their useful-
less because of the vsrv short time
which can be allowed to any one
meaker. The meetings have fre
quently amounted merely to con-
ests either of good natured wit
and story telling or of unseemly
abuse and mud shngine to the en
tire exclusion of intelligent and
prions discussion of public issues.
A candidate who has a personality
'mi nlatform worthy t of serious
consideration can better present
vis cause through a fewer num
ber of privately arranged meetings
mi through judicious advertising
at a orobable saving of money and
a certain saving of time and phy-
tic'-'i energy.
The reauiring of a preliminary
showing of strength bv a petition
as a prerequisite to the official
recognition of a candidate would
undoubtedly eliminate some per
sons who take up the time of the
other candidates to no good pur-
nose at the campaign meetings. If
the county-to-county meetings are
abolished, that in itself would de
ter persons from offering for office
for any purpose other than that of
seriously striving to be elected.
The state should not be called
upon through taxation to pay any
part of the expense of conducting
strictly party affairs such as the
primary. The state must hold aloof
and be i» position to give equal
treatment to all parties. The sta
tutes which we now have regulat
ing primaries should be repealed
and the conduct and financing of
the party be left entirely to the
party itself.
There is considerable expense at-

I. Jesus at the Mount of Olives.
(v. 39).
He went from the upper room under
cover of the night to the Garden of
Gethsemane, a favorite resort on the
slope of the Mount of Olives, a short
distance east of Jerusalem (Matt.
2G:30). It is a place where the oil
was crushed out of the olives. Geth
semane means “oil press.” Olive oil
was precious, being used both for food
and lighting. The bruising and crush
ing of Christ in this Garden has yield
ed the largest blessings to the world.
M. His Companions (vv. 39, 40).
Peter, James and John, who had
been with him on the Mount of Trans
figuration, wore permitted to go with
him into the deep shadows of the Gar
den (Matt. 2G:37). He took those who
were best able to apprehend the mean
ing of the tragic hour to he his sympa
thizing companions. This was needed
to prepare them as his witnesses.
Knowing the peculiar trial through
whMi they would soon pass when the
Shepherd should be smitten, he needed
to prepare them for it. ♦ They needed
to taste the hitter cup of which he
drank and of which they, too, later
should drink.
III. Jesus Praying (vv. 41-44).
1. Withdrawal from the disciples
(v. 41). Even these members of the
inner circle could not now go with
him. He tore himself away from them,
for he must be alone in this darkest
Lour. He kneeled down and prayed.
2. What he said (v. 42). “If. thou
be willing, remove this cup from me.”
The cup did not mean primarily the
physical sufferings of the cross, though
they were exceeding great. He did not
now desire to escape from the cross
and thus to stop short of his redemp
tive work, for this was the supreme
purpose of his coming into the world
(Heb. 2:14). He was so completely
identified with a sinning race that the
judgment of a holy God which right
fully would have fallen upon it was
about to strike him—the Father’s face
was actually turned from him. The
cup, therefore, tneant his death as the
hearer of sin. He came to Gethsem
ane with the full knowledge of what
it meant, and consciously brought his
human will into accord with the di
vine will. He bowed in submission to
the Father's will. So great was his
agony that he sweat, as it were, great
drops of blood. In ‘this crucial hour
an angel from heaven strengthened
him. He won the victory irt submis
sion to his Father’s will, and from
henceforth went with unfaltering steps
to the cross.
IV. The Disciples Sleeping (vv.
45, 40).
They had boasted of their fidelity
(Matt. 20:35), but could not watch
with him for an hour. He had issued
a word of warning to them (Luke
22:34), but they were so benumbed
with sorrow that they failed to keep
awake. He gently reprimanded them
and commanded that they should arise
and pray lest they enter into tempta
tion. i
V. Jesus Betrayed (vv. 47, 48).
1. The betrayer (v. 47). It was
Judas, one of the twelve. He had en
joyed the most intimate relations with
the Lord: eating with him. listening
to his teaching, witnessing his mar
velous miracles, and enjoying his
countenance. These privileges inten
sify the horror of the deed. He even
guided the mob to arrest Jesus.
2. The sign of betrayal (v. 47). It
was a kiss, the token of the most
tender affection and friendship.
3. Jesus’ tender words to him (v. 43).
These words to the infamous disciple
reveal the infinite tenderness of the
Lord’s heart. Many professing dis
ciples today are proving their disloy
alty to Jesus and even are betraying
him. All who bear the name of Christ,
and especially ministers and teachers,
who deny the virgin birth, deity, and
vicarious atonement of Jesus Christ,
are following in the footsteps of Judas.
VI. Jecus Arrested (v. 54).
The multitude led by Judas invaded
the sacred precincts of the Garden and
arrested Jesus and brought him before
tlse High Priest. Peter followed him
afar otfY. Peter’s downfall may be
traced to his self-confidence.
