Ford Dealers kn 01 their duty to the public in this respect. I can say of Ford Dealers generally that they have been and are of character and standing in their communities.

COLUMBIA, May 25.—At a meet ing of the state highway commis sion yesterday morning in the state office building Ben M. Saw yer was unanimously elected to serve his third consecutive four- year term as chief commissioner. Charles O. Hearon of Spartan- tnug was re-elected chairman and John T. Stevens of Kershaw, vice- chairman. Members said that aside from the elections only routine business was transacted at the meeting, the first . . . the body has held since the 1932 * legislative session ended. Mr. Sawyer became secretary- treasurer of the commission in 1925. He was elected chief commissioner In 1926 and was re-elected the first time in 1929. Mr. Hearon is a former newspa per publisher and business man. He has been a member of the highway commission since it was created in 1917.

It is still an honor but one that calls for continuous work on the part of each trustee. The job at one time was merely that of electing teachers and sitting on tho rcstrum when the closing exer cises were held. The order of things Today the place on the Board of Trustees of a school, no matter how small, calls for the best efforts ^of that trustee. It is a position of responsibility, a position calling for real work, a position requiring busi ness judgment and a position of financing.

This will be followed by the awarding of diplomas. Our lesson introduces us to one of the most tragic char acters in the Bible, the disciple whom Jesus failed to. win. i J • Now Judas presents a very baffling problem to the interp reter of human motives. On the one hand, it is easy to be too lenient in our judgement. DeQuincejy, for example, maintains that Judas betrayed his Master from the highest motives, in order that Jesus might demonstrate His power, overthrow His enemies, and reign as King. On the other hand, it is easy to be too harsh, to picture the traitor as al together black, with no saving grace whatever. The fact is that he was very human. Both good and bad. The pathos of his pitiful career lies in the fact that he might have been a saint, but chose to be a devil. He had the best chance in the world to make good. And he made ship-wreck of his opportunity. Daily he stood with the Master at the gates of heaven, but he chose hell’s path in stead. And how many there are that follow in his wake. Can anything he done for them? No, for God cannot save those who wilfully rebel against Him. We also have, in our lesson, the words of institution of the Lord’s Supper. This blessed feast is first a memorial rite in obedience to the command, “‘This do in remem brance of Me.” It is also a great act of consecration, for it is a sacrament, a word that means, in the Latin, an oath of allegiance. Furthermore, it is an expression of Thanks giving, a sacrifice of praise. Then, too, it is a symbol of the united fellowship of Christendom, for all Christians gather about the Lord’s Table. Finally, it is a Communion, a time when we humbly, but joyfully experience the real grace of God in Christ. The lesson contains, too the sad tale of Peter’s denial. If Peter, the Rock, a tower of strength, could repudiate his Master in an hour of crisis, may it not be that you and I will also fall? God help us to be on our guard. x) i 1 ' V jv
