Lesson for May 6th. Matthew 21. Golden Text: Philippians 2:9. As between the kingship of power and the kingship of character, Jesus supremely represents the lat ter. His ideal of the Messiah was not that of the populace. The peo ple expected a monarch clothed in purple, wielding the sceptre and sword, and riding in a chariot. They longed for a distinctly war rior type. But the Master rebelled against this popular Messianic picture. He had fought out the whole issue dur ing His temptation in the wilder ness. Later, when the people in their enthusiasm, endeavored by force to make Him king, He secret ed Himself in a mountain. And now as He enters Jerusalem, and is loudly acclaimed as a king “that cometh in the name of the Lord,” we are not to suppose that He has changed His mind. He has i^o de sire to assume the role of an earth ly ruler. 1 Mrs. W. S. Arrington Entertains Rook Club Dr. and Mrs. W. G. Blackwell have returned home from a week’s visit to their daughter, Mrs. T. E. Snelling, of Charlotte, N. C. Mr. Clyde Bowick, who under went an operation at the Green wood Hospital on Monday of last week, returned home Saturday and continues to improve.

Three tables were arranged for the members and at the conclusion of the games the hostess served chicken saiad, potato chips, sandwiches and iced tea. Mrs. D. C.

Jamie Sanders, Jr., announce the birth of a ten- pound son yesterday morning at their residence on Gold Street. Enjoyable Dance One of the most enjoyable social events of the past week was the dance given in the community house on Monday evening by Mr. and Mrs. E. L. Rogers in honor of their guest, Miss Edna Shell, of Gray Court. Thirty couples enjoy ed the occasion and music was un der the direction of J. B. Harmon, Jr., and Emory Bentley. Iced punch and wafers were served through out the evening. 1 XT McCormick to'Have Talking Pictures G. J. Sanders, Jr., is having the old Dixie Theatre building on Main Street. remodeled and will install J Western Electric Sound and Sim plex Projectors which are the best on the market today. The latest talking pictures will be shown and this theatre will be a credit to towns much larger than McCor mick. Opening date will be an nounced soon. Dr. C. K. Epting stated today that those working on relief and being paid in kind, may also use these checks to pay current rent, current taxes, lights and water bill, installments on consumable items or household necessities, or other necessities. He also states he will not honor checks for past in debtedness, gas or luxuries. There are certain articles that may be paid for, not listed, by getting ap proval from the local relief office. This is indicated by His striking entrance into the city upon a hum ble donkey. What a contrast to the spectacular march of Kaiser Wil liam into Jerusalem, in magnificent pomp and pageantry, through a gate built in the wall especially for him! Not as a war lord, with mailed fist, did the Master claim His beloved city, but as a humble Prince of Peace. Then that evening He went put, with the twelve, to the quiet vil lage of Bethany, where lived Mary and Martha. What a tender, do mestic touch! The Master, who had no abiding home, needed greatly the refreshment of the family cir cle as He looked to the tragedy a- head. We note, too, that He claimed the authority to purify the church, as the incident of the cleansing of the temple on the following day makes clear. This was a factor in hasten ing the crucifixion, for it solidified the forces anxious^ to destroy Him. But the greatest mark of His roy alty is the Cross. Over Palm Sun day rests the shadow of Calvary. On Good Friday the King ascends His throne! And what a throne! There we see the supreme love of God revealed in bitter pain. - > PATIENCE MEANS ENDURANCE In Memory of Mrs. E. Janie Morgan Early Wednesday morning, April 11, the spirit of Mrs. E. Janie Mor gan took its flight to God who gave it. As the days have passed since the home-going of Mrs. Morgan our hearts are filled with sadness. It is a privilege to have known and loved her J during the long per iod of years she was with us. We shall miss her cheerful smile and friendly greeting. Putting God first, as she always did, she possessed those qualities of gentleness, kindly tact, patience, forbearance and love, so necessary to a good mother, friend and neighbor. She was a faithful and loyal member of Rehoboth Church, a true friend, devoted mother, grand mother, and sister. The funeral took place at Reho both Church Thursday morning, April 12th, at 11 o’clock, and her body was laid to rest beside that of her honored husband, Mr. D. I. Morgan, until the morning of the resurrection. • That large gathering, those love ly flowers, the tender words of her | pastor, Rev. G. W. Gurley, the com- 'forting prayers of Rev. O. L. Orr and Dr. D. V. Cason, all attest the 'esteem in which Mrs. Morgan was “Why do you call the Psalms poetry?’’ somebody asks. “Thty don't rhyme.” Hebrew 1 poetry d< not consist qf rhyme nor mef but in balance of thought, a pax leliam. One line says a thing ai)d the next repeats it with slight and skillful variation. In the Way of righteousness is life; and in the pathway thereof is no death. Or the second line is an adversa tive clause: Wealth gotten by vanity shall be diminished: but lie that gathereth by labotir shall have increase. Thus the balance and rhythm are not in the Words but in the thought. Having in mind this dis tinctive characteristic, it is easier to understand why the Book of Job is called sometimes “the greatest poem” and sometimes “the greatest of all dramas.” Everybody knows Job, “the most’ patient man who ever lived”—a bit of knowledge based on the remark in the New. Testament: “Ye have heard of the patience of Job.” As a matter of fact, Job was about as impatient as a man could possibly be, and properly so perhaps, for he was the victim of trials quite un deserved. The word “patience” as the New Testament writer uses it does not denote the moral quality of sub mission with cheerfulness to a hard experience, but mere endurance., Job was a rich farmer, cattle owner and public-spirited citizen, 1 who headed all subscription lists ( and had the satisfaction qf seeing his enterprises succeed and Ids children grow up With good prom ise. Suddenly calamity descends upon him. He does not know; It, but his soul is to be tried. Job’s crops are destroyed, bite bams burned, his children taken sick, and he himself breaks out aft over with horrid boils. In this Con dition he is visited by a group of three friends—professional moral ists and Pollyannas—and between them and him the dramatic debate ensues. They tell him Just where he has been wrong and urge him to confess his sins to God and beg forgiveness. He responds sarcasti cally. No doubt but ye are the peo ple and wisdom shall die with you. He denies that he has«sinned and refuses to tell God that he has be— cause it would be a lie; and he won’t lie even to be relieved from all his misfortunes. His conversation is far, from meek, but you can’t fail to admire his indomitable courage. In the end it triumphs. God says to him. in effect: “Job, you have talked a good deal of nonsense, and yoh have been very impatient, but you have helped me to wirv out in my contest with Satan. He said that' nobody on earth loves goodness for its own sake, and I told him that you do. He said I was wrong, but you have proved me right. I am proud of you, and I was never so proud as when you protested that you would not lie even to please me.’ Next Week: A Brave Man Speaks. Copyright, Bobbs-Merril Co.

J. S. STROM Main Street McCormick, S. C. held by the people who have known, loved and honored her through the years. The precious old hymns, “Nearer My God to Thee,” and “Abide With Me,” her favorite hymns, were sung by choirs of Rehoboth and Plum Branch Churches, directing hearts and minds Heavenward. The surviving children are Miss Annie Lou Morgan, Messrs. Charlie, Evans and Clayton Morgan. She is also survived by four grandchildren and one brother, Mr. Charlie Gay. O, God, bless us and help us to bear this sorrow, those of us who loved Mrs. Morgan, but especially her bereaved family. We know. Lord, that they trust Thee, and that Thy grace is able to sustain them. Give them, we pray Thee, a double portion of Thy grace, we beg for Christ’s sake. Amen. C. B. F«
