Ephesians Si 12. For the' next few weeks I wish to dedicate my column to a place that concerns every hu man being—The Devil’s Work shop. In his bag of tricks Sa tan has what I believe to be some of the greatest instruments that could possibly be used to' fight human wisdom. There are five that seem to stand out jn our world today; I like to call them the “5 l’s” of Satan. Be fore we go into this we should recognize the fact that there is Some Controversy over the dif ferent beliefs about Satan. How ever, we do know that the Bi ble mentions him many times. And we know he is in our world today just as he claimed to God the H»vs of Job. (Job l:?). 1 By Viewing the present day v. jfla s.iuctioii we snould ad, agree that Satan is still in our world and is doing a very good job of creating a world turmoil! of sin. The first of the “5 I’s” that I will call to your attention is “Idleness”. * We have all heard 1 the saying, “An idle mind is j the Devil’s Workshop”. I be lieve these words hold great truth.

Idleness could come very easily in the “teens” i when the young mind is devel oping an outlook on life. But everyone is subject to idleness. To me personally, an intoxicat ed person has an idle mind, his thoughts are usually wild and in vain. This was shown in the 1 drunkenness of Noah. (Genesis 9:21-23). King David was a man of deep spiritual convictions, yet he' yielded to the terrible sin of adultery in a period of idle ness. This happened as David was at the height of his power and fame as king over all Israel. His sin came when his army was across the Jordan fighting the Ammonites and David found himself in a period of idleness as he rested in his palace. He became infatuated with the beautiful wife of Uriah, Bath sheba. David’s period of idle- 1 ness brought on the sin of adul-' tery, then this first sin called for the murder of Uriah tof cover 'up the adultery. The king’s behavior also brought, much shame upon the people of his kingdom. A fine example of the "fruits of idleness. I Surely everyone must havej periods when the mind must rest. But we should be ready] at any moment to recognize Sa-, tan as he enters with his unclean! thoughts in an idle moment. 1 Don't be taken in by idleness.' Keep away from this powerful! ♦ool of Satan by keeping your eyes on Jesus. ' I County News I By MRS.

This Is The Law IQkI * By ROBERT E. LEE (For the N. C. Bar Association) Annual Legal Check-up Many persons for years have been going to physicians and dentists for periodic physical and dental check-ups. They have found that it pays to do SO. | More recently there has de-j veloped the annual legal check-, up. When did you last have] yours? “Preventive law” has increasingly come to play an important role in the day-to-day work of the practicing lawyer. Business enterprises long ago] found that it paid thbm to con sult lawyers before serious le-j gal trouble actually developed. Individuals are now just be ginning to realize, with all of the complexities of modern life,! that they may in the future have dire legal troubles which they can presently prevent. A, man may enter a lawyer’s of-] fice ~and say “I have no legal aches or pains, but tell me—am • I in reasonable good legal health?” It is a recqgni(ion of the fact that, by virtue of a thorough legal check-up, the lawyer can advise his client of some legal trouble, pending or foreseeable, of which the client may not be aware. ; The idea of an annual legal' check-up is founded on the as sumption that lawyers are more familiar with law (legal health) than are non-lawyers. As be tween a lawyer and a client, the lawyer is more able to de termine the client’s legal status; than the client himself. There is an old saying that] “a man who is his own lawyer has a fool for a client.” He is l not competent 'to make a diag nosis of his own ailments. Most people don’t know! whethey they are in good legal I health or not. For example, I ■ft ~ Hfc ..... * A IjailPßv- <•».* 1 •, vv"'-. rife ;-- : HiK:. vvsV':.

They might have consulted a lawyer some years ago about the making of a will or the ownership of prop erty, but both the law and the pertinent facts could have sub sequently changed. Legal trouble can spring from a new fact happening the day after a legal check-up is made. Clients should report to their lawyers changes in factual, sit uations as soon as they occur. ' The legal requirements of a family are always changing be cause the family is not a static unit. Every man needs an an nual, or at least a periodic, check-up on his legal affairs.

This suggests to us some important points in regard to reading the Bible wisely. What, we must ask ourselves, are some coed rules to use in our study of the Bible? First, we should endeavor to read a book of the Bible at one sitting. This is easily done when we are reading most of the New Testament books, and in some instances when we are studying the Old. Too often we are guilty of a haohazard ap proach to our Bible reading— we assimilate one part here, one part there, with the result that HOUSE FOR SALE Located 108 Twiddy Avenue Three bedrooms, big kitchen with bar and dining room, big living room with nice fireplace.

King Street PHONE 2163 Edenton, N. C. we do not get a clear picture of what it has to say. Secondly, we should try to read each book ih the light of the situation cnjt of which it came, and with an understand ing of the problems to which it was addressed. This helps us] better understand the teachings i that are given, and the reason for them. Thirdly, all of the teachings of any given subject should be considered together, as 'a whole; this is particularly true of the teachings of Jesus, for his bal- 1 l anced thinking cannot be fully appreciated if we look at each parable or teaching separately. Such a practice gives a totally distorted view of the guidance for living which he meant to i give. ' . j j Finally, and perhaps most im ; portarit, is that we should study ] with an open mind, a reverend ! spirit, and the willingness, to ! walk according to the new light I that we receive from our Bible i study. • If we follow these few simple rules ’in applying ourselves to j the study of the Living Word, ; we will be getting the most out ] of the role that the Bible plays ! in our growth and development as Christians.
