Program Theme At
Meeting Os Council
The blending of colors and fab
rics in the home was the theme
of a program presented by the
heme agent, Miss Maidred Mor
ris, at the May meeting of the
Chowan Home Demonstration
County Council held in the Cho
wan Community Building at
Cross Roads. This film was a fol
lpw-up of the demonstration giv
en by Miss Morris in April. Hav
ing shown much interest, the wo
men greatly enjoyed the colorful
moving picture illustrating the in
formation they had received pre
viously at their club meetings.
Mrs. W. H. Saunders, vice pres
ident, conducted the meeting, as
sisted by Mrs. B. P. Monds, sec- •
retary. An inspirational devotion
was led by Mrs. David Goodwin.
The new national home demon
stration club song “Ever Onward"
was taught to the group. Mrs.
Saunders congratulated the com
munity service leaders for their
cooperation in the cancer drive.
She announced the schedule of
feature news articles for the clubs
as arranged by the publicity
chairman, Mrs. Lonnie Harrell.
Plans for preparation of the pu
blicity book were announced.
The group learned that Chowan
and Center Hill Clubs are to have
educational booths at the County
Fair October 7-12.
A planning committee for the
Achievement Day program was
appointed with Mrs. C. W. Over
man, chairman, Mrs. Fred Bunch
and Mrs. Gilbert Harrell.
The group voted to send Mrs
H. T. Hollowell, council presi
dent, to Farm and Home Week in
Raleigh, August 5-8.
After miscellaneous announce
ments, the group adjourned w'th
the Club Collect.
And Was His Face Red
In the congregation of an Oak
Park church during Sunday morn
ing service was a young bride,
whose husband was an usher. Be
coming terribly worried about
having left the roast in the oven,
she wrote a note to her husband
sending it to him by onther usher.
The latter, thinking it was a
noie for the pastor, hurried down
the aisle and laid it on the pulpit.
Stopping abruptly to read the note,
the astonished pastor was met
with this written injunction:
“Please go home and turn off
the gas.”
An oil filter will remove a
pound or more «of dirt and
sludge from a cars’ oil during
5,000 miles of driving, according
to automotive engineers.

I: BY ORAL ROBERTS : '1

AN ARAB SEES JESUS
Dr Van Ess, the great Chris
tian missionary to Iraq, tells of
a sermon preached in Iraq. It
was preached by one of his
friends to a group of simple
Arabs. The subject was—“ What
Jesus is Like." As he preached
and described the Man from
Nazareth, one of the Arabs
brightened and exclaimed, "Oh.
I have met him!"
The missionary frowned and
explained to them that Jesus
lived 1900 years ago. It would
be impossible for anyone to meet
him now.
• Oh no." the native insisted.
“I have met him!” And upon
further discussion, it turned out
that a Swedish doctor who lived
and healed and worked among a
tribe some distance away, so
fitted the missionary's descrip
tion of Jesus as to rouse that
quiver of recognition in the
Arab. .
Let me assure you that Christ
does live in his followers. How
is he recognized? By the same
characteristics being seen in us
that were seen in him —the same
attitudes, the same emotions, the
same service, the same love.
Now what was he like? We
.are told that he was sympathetic,
full of pity, and closely touched
by the needs of those about him
We sing. “More about Jesus." I
suggest that we need to sing,
"More like Jesus." For the very
word Christian means Christ
like.
Dr. Rarmbo told of saying good
by to an old Indian woman on
the steps of his dispensary in
mid-India, after having success-
County Commissioners of Cho
to serve as such without compen
sation under the supervision of
and in accordance with instruc
tipns of the Agent of the Govern
or and that it has notified the eli
gible voters not later than Feb
ruary 15, 1957, ninety days prior
to the date of the referendum.
SECTION 3. That the Board of
County Commissioners of Cho
wan County hereby agrees to
join, for the purposes of this ref
erendum and retirement system
group, the following political sub
division:
Chowan County Alcoholic
Beverage Control Board
The Town of Edenton
North Carolina,
Chowan County.
I, M. L. Bunch, Clerk to the
Board of County Commissioners
of Chowan County, do hereby
certify that the foregoing is a true
and perfect copy and transcript of
a resolution duly adopted and

Commissioners of Chowan Cnun

fully operated on her eyes,for
cataracts. As she started away,
she boVed low and said, “Good
by, God."
The doctor hastily explained
that he was not God. He was
only a poor weak servant of
God. But she would not have it
and as she went down the road
she turned every few steps
and waved—gratefully shouting,
"Good-by God. good-by God."
The Bible .tells us that God
was in Christ. That means that
God Is In us when Christ lives
there. .And a genuine Christian
can shout with Paul, the best
apostle, “Christ liveth in me!"
So Jesus still moves in our
world today. He moves and
speaks and works and Is-seen
and felt every time one of us
acts and lives in a Chrtst-like
way. But the genuine essence of
this Christ-likeness comes from
within. It is very wearisome to
try to be like Christ, whether
from a moral or ethical outward
compulsion. The stimulus must
come from within. And It can
only come from within when
Christ himself lives inside.
I believe in a personal knowl
edge and experience of receiving
Christ, Just-how it happens or
when it happens is not always
easily defined or explained. But
the essential thing is that Christ
must be invited and when he is
invited he always comes in.
The greatest miracle on this
earth is for Christ to live again
4n the lives of his followers. This
is what is known as a "Saint", —
one in whom Christ is felt and
seen to live again.
