Luke 24:1-12. undeniable that the Puritan tradi tion over-emphasized the glories of heaven, and under-estimated the delights of this world. The pen dulum has swung away from the conviction that this life is essen tially vain, that we must postpone happiness until we die. "Can we believe in eternal life?"! The Easter h °P e ' however, is not In asking at Easter this question 40 be 1 8 nored J U5t because liie has Golden Text: John 11:25. that probes the very heart of our Christian faith, I have in mind two classes of people. ' First of all, there mre a few who flatly deny that the *oul has any immortality. Na poleon belonged to this group. “Oh, well,” he once said, “when we are its happy moments. We are all candidates for trouble, sorrow, and death, and so must turn our eyes toward God’s eternal City of Light. The body, of course, decays. But while the flesh fails, the spirit, as St. Paul assures us, is renewed day dead, we are simply dead.” Second- j ly, there is that large class to whom cur queny is wholly unimportant. They do not deny immortality, but they neither desire nor cherish it. The present world is so fascinating that they have no time to dream of the life beyond life. They agree with Thoreau that we should live in one world at a time. Now this protest against the thought of immortality has impor tant elements of truth in it. It is But to the Christian eternal life is more than a wistful hope. It is a definite fact. This is made clear by our thrilling Golden Text. “I am the resurrection, and the life,” said Jesus. Here we have not a fancy, not a theory, not a “perhaps,” but a firm assurance. “In my Father’s house are many mansions.” These we shall enter, in God’s good time if we are true to the gospel of His Son.

Cox, of Troy, is re questing chambers of commerce and citizens of towns on the C. & W. C. Railway to support a move ment to have one-coach trains op- o rated on this road between Spar tanburg and Augusta. Mr. Cox in a letter to the cham bers of commerce calls attention to the bill passed recently in the gen eral assembly allowing operation of one-coach trains by the Seaboard Air Line through the state from Monroe to Atlanta. Following is a copy of a letter sent by Mr. Cox to chambers of commerce of Greenwood, Spartan burg, Laurens, McCormick and Au gusta: The Seaboard Air Line Railroad had a bill passed by the general as sembly of South Carolina allowing them to operate one-coach trains in South Carolina, consequently the Seaboard Air Line is going to put on two such trains between At lanta, Ga., and Monroe, N. C. The trains are operated with a Diese' engine, with only cne coach and can be operated very reasonably Officials estimate that express and mail yull pay expenses. People on the Charleston & Western Carolina Railroad have re peatedly asked that passenger train service be restored on thr line. This seems our chance, oper ating such a service as the abave, with the mail and express service on it. I am writing other towns and if we all get behind this mat ter I believe we can put it over. The thing needed is for represen tatives from the chambers of com merce and leading citizens from cities and towns on this division of the C. & W. C. railroad to get to gether and make request to the proper authorities for a train such as the Seaboard Air Line is putting on. Yours truly, J. M. COX.

All returns '' r -"rid r’"- c'tr’1 be filed with vh' COLUMBIA, April 18.—Julian H. Scarborough, president of the Fed eral Land Bank of Columbia and general agent of the Farm Credit Administration of Columbia, an- nounee<|. today that effective April 10, tly“ Interest rate on new loans- made through national farm loan associations had been reduced to 4 1-4 per cent and on loans made directly by the bank to 4 3-4 per cent. This is the second interest reduc- ion made by the bank recently, the interest rate on new loans through national farm loan associations having been reduced from 5 to 4 1-2 per cent on April 1, Mr. Scar borough pointed out. The interest rate of 4 1-4 per cent is the lowest, he said, at which Federal land banks have ever made loans during the 18 years of their history. “The saving.” said MT. Scar borough “which the land banks have been able to effect on new loans is being passed on to farmer- borrowers. This is one of the great benefits of a co-operative land banking system.” From the time the Emergency Farm Mortgage Act of 1933 was passed up to April 1, 1935, the Fed eral land banks made loans through national farm loan asso ciations at 5 per cent, with a tem porary reduction to 4 1-2 per cent until July 12, 1938. After that ia^c loans made during the two- year period will bear interest at the rate of 5 per cent. New loans, however, made at 4 1-4 per cent will bear that rate during the en tire life of the loan. Loans made directly to borrowers by the land banks carry an interest rate 1-2 of 1 per emt higher than those mad'r through national farm loan asso ciations.
