SUNDAY’S YESTERDAYS Dec. 15, 1787—Edward Dudley was What Do You Know About North Carolina? By FRED H. MAY I 1. How long were three notes given Dr. Battle by the University allowed to run? 2. What action did North Carolina take in 1901 that has resulted in the buying of several hundred thousand acres of land? 3. When did the State authorize re gistration of and exclusive rights to farm names? 4. What official report was made of Governor Richard Everard’s family to London authorities? 5. How did Governor Dobbs hope to get labor for public improvements? 6. When was the first street paving ordered about the State Capitol? ANSWERS 1. Three notes of SIOO each were given Dr. Kemp Plummer Battle on January 1, 1867. Forty-eight years later, March 8, 1915, the legislature ordered them paid, without interest. The notes were signed by Jonatham Worth, governor, and Charles Manly, treasurer, board of trustee. 2. The State granted consent to and approved the plan of the Federal gov ernment to establish a National For est Reserve in the Southern Appala chian Mountains. At the same time the North Carolina delegation was re quested to urge upon congress the im portance of prompt and favorable ac tion on the measure then before that body. 3. In 1915 an act provided for the registration of farm names in the of fice of county register of deeds. Own ers of registered names were to be protected against the latter register ing of confusing names. 4. Under date of December 12, 1728 the council sent complaints of local conditions to London. Among these was the following reference to the governor’s family: “It is unexpress /ible the Daily Quarrels that happen about, his Family which seems to make of more weight than the most Important Affairs of Government, and if he fancies anyone is not af fected to him or his Family (which is a pack of rude children who give offense every day) they are sure upon the least occasion to be severely pro secuted.” 5. He wrote authorities in London December 26, 1755, that he thought it advisable for England and Ireland to pass laws that “all persons guilty of larceny or small thefts and pocket books should be transported instead of being burnt in the hand....or pub licly whipped which hardens them and makes them greater rogues, and all the vagrants and hoys in towns who have no parents or masters.” These should he sent to the colonies, to be used in building forts, roads, bridges, etc. 6. In 1897 the legislature “authoriz ed und directed” the governor and the hoard of directors of the peniten tiary “to cause one-half of the streets around the capitoi square t-o be pav ed.” The work was to be done by the “hands from the penitentiary.” HENDERSON, (N.

He grew up to the governor of North Carolina who made the famous re mark to the governor of South Caro lina: “It’s ad long time between drinks.” The remark was made between mint juleps at the home of Mrs. Nancy Jones, near Durham. What caused members of the Jones family to re member and hand down the remark was that it was the first time lhat any Nortli Carolinian, governor or commoner, had been so ungent.leman iy as lo utter ad in the hearing of ladies in’the Jones home. The cad! Dec. 15, 1845 Richard W. Clark was born in Hansborough, England. This typical British youngster son of an aristocratic family was the origi nal of “Deadwood Dick,” celebrated dime novel hero, well remembered in the Dakotas as pony-express rider, Indian scout and guide. 45 Years Ago Today In those same Black Hills, the Sioux erroneously | Ezra Teaching the Law of God ! THE WEEKLY SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON ; (The International Uniform Lesson on the above topic for Dec. 15 is Ezra 7:10 and Nehemiah, chapter 8, the Golden Tet being Psalm 119:11, “Thy word have I laid up in my heart.”) By DR. ALVIN E. BELL Restoration of walls and gates was not the chief need of God’s people in tiie days of Ezra and Nehemiah, but rather the restoration of the Word of God. So immediately upon the com pletion of material restorations Ezra the scribe and Nehemiah the gover nor rallied the people of God to re store the Law of God to its place in the hearts and lives of the people. The Making of a. Aeaeher The making of a true Bible teacher is set before us in a fine pattern in the case of Ezra, of whom we read, ‘‘Ezra had set his heart to seek the law of the Lord, and to do it and to teach in Israel statutes and judg ments.” True Bible teachers “set their hearts to seek” to know God’s word. Thus Bible study ceases to be duty and becomes delight. This study is more than intellectual, it is devotional and “our hearts burn within us as Christ opens to us the scriptures.” This burning heart engenders the obedient life. For Ezra not only set his heart to seek the law of the Lord, but “to do it and to teach” it. Os Jesus’ teaching it was said, “He taught them as one having authority, and not as the scribes.” That au thority of Jesus was the authority of preparation, of prayer, of passion and of personality. Ezra, the first of the scribes, had that authority. Had his successors continued to “set their H Vitos Doing Owrcbcfs HOLY INNOCENTS EPISCOPAL. Rev. I. W.

The Making of a Revival Our lesson affords us a pattern not only for the making of a true Bible teacher, but also a pattern for the making of a true spiritual revival. "All the people gathered themselves ' together as one man into the broad place that was before the water gate; and they spake unto Ezra the scribe to bring the book of the law of Moses : which the Lord had commanded to Israel. And Ezra brought (.he law be fore the congregation, .both men and / women, and all that could hear with J understanding;... .and the ears of all} the people were attentive unto the j book of the 1aw.... and when he open- j ed it all the people stood up: and < Ezra blessed the Lord, the great God. 1 And all the people answered, Amen, j Amen, with the lifting up of their , heads, and worshiped the Lord with J their faces to the ground.” No won- ( der that things happened in a con-l gregation like this! Here was not on- j ly a well-prepared preacher but a well-prepared congregation. They j were eager to hear the word of God J and reverent in their hearing of it. “The Joy of the Lord” I The result <was as always in this j procedure, first sorrow for sin and | then joy in the knowledge of salva tion, for “the joy of the Lord is your . salvation. “And all the people went J their way to eat, and to drink, and to send portions, and to make great mirth because they had understood the words that were declared unto them.” topic: “For Those Who Do Not Be lieve In Santa Claus.” B.
