THE FRIENDLY HUNTER By D. MeCREADY Editor’s Kites I*on* *Ttß«erl w of ntlela* written by John 5. Mc- Cready, bend of the English Depart ment nt Chowan College. Mr. Hc- Cready for M -.earn waa paator of the First Baptist Chnrek at Morranton and served aa army chaplain in World War II and »••**» t* chaplain for the Am- SSS T, preached at many ehnrches in this area. Snow had fallen some days be fore, covering the landscape with beauty. Now it was but a mem ory. Slush and mud were every where. Busy housekeepers had worked all morning to remove marks of careless footprints on parches and rugs. With a sigh of relief the minis ter’s wife completed her chores and moved toward the front win dow, to view once more the im maculate porch which she had left an hour before. “Oh that awful dog!"' she sud denly exclaimed. “Look, Jim—he has ruined the porch with his muddy tracks! I wonder whose • he is—lying there as if he owned the place. I know I have seen him before, but somehow I can’t’ remember ” , Her husband joined her and to gether they moaned at the havoc the animal had wrought. A large white shepherd dog lay near the steps, his back to the door, pensively looking. up and down the street. From the mud dy tracks everywhere he was evi dently resting after much wan dering to and fro. He was a handsome dog, and the couple were anxious to find his owner. Before tl?e day was over they remembered that he belonged to the Wyatt family, members •of their church. Mr. Wyatt, a life insurance agent, had been walk ing on the outskirts of town dur ing the recent snowstorm when he suffered a fatal heart attack, being picked up later from a snowbank into which he had fall en. So the couple took the dog home, and the parsonage floor was mopped once more. The next day was Saturday, and the dog returned, his feet as mud dy as ever. Again he was given free transportation, and the porch made ready for the critical inspec tion it would receive the next day from passersby on their way to worship in the sanctuary next door. When Sunday dawned the preacher’s household were reliev ed to find no evidence of the dog. But by the time the bell for Sun day School rang there he was— not on the porch, but neat the I i entrance to the chuiyh. Standing some twenty feet away, he bark-1 ed vigorously at men and women, hoys and girls, as they entered.' *OBS £3 *045 4/5 QT ' P,NT ••■■• > Ji(l**swv£js**'*&» ’?? -vjfr.-.-iJW?' /,®JaAsfvSk-Ww ■ ■ ...

But when the Sunday School session was over he began again. “I don’t object to, his barking at those who go straight home after Sunday School, not staying for church,” said the preacher to his Vrlfe, with a smile. “But the trouble is, he is not discriminat ing. He barks at those who are staying for worship as well as those who are leaving.’’ At the dinner table that day, light dawned. The dog’s late owner had been a faithful Christian. When the church bell rang—Sunday morn ing, Sunday night, Wednesday night—he and his wife came. Whenever the church door open ed they were there. By the lives they led, they each had said: “Lord, I have loved the habitation of Thine house, and the place where Thine honor dwelleth.” Often the dog had waited for them in their car. And so, when the beloved master was missing, he naturally sought him in the places where he had most dearly loved to go. He did not seek him at the post office, or the public library, or at the golf course—much less the road-side honky-tonk, or the gambling den. He went straight to God’s house. Where would your dog go to find you? SUNDAY SCHOOL | LESSON f Continued from Page 4—Section 2 merely for the sake of taking charge do little, in comparison with those who serve because they feel they are serving God and who, organize to live and work for the Christian life day in and day out. To get its job done the church must have both organization and leadership. The leadership of the earliest,Christians was partly the leadership of a direct relationship with Jesus and this gave the dis ciples and early followers a great drive and moral sense of reality. Today we must have well or ganized churches (and they are often organized better than the early churches) but we must also have organized leadership in these church structures. The4eadership is the key and it is through lead ership -that church organization really derives its driving power. As our faith increases, our ser vice to church and fellow men be comes more effective. And, like- THE CHOWAN HERALD. EDENTON. NORTH CAROLINA. THURSDAY JANUARY 23, 1958.

The right combination is prop er organization, taking advantage of the leadership and crusading faith that exists within a church. For the church is the way of God and those who believe, or who would teach others to believe, are still the leaders of the Christian ilfe, and their community, and leaders in the long effort to bring Jesus’ teaching into every corner of the world.
