Edenton Group Os
Jfehovah Witnesses
To, Attend School
The Edenton congregation of
: Jehovah’s Witnesses is sending
'• 15 teachers and ministers to
school for four days. Joseph R.
' Chdespoti, presiding minister,
'announces that local delegates
will be among more than 10,000
■ attending a district convention in;
Richmond, Va., July 8-12.
Codespoti said it will be held
at Parker Field, home of the
■ Richmond baseball club of the
International League. He said
people from 16 states have reg
istered to attend, but most of the
delegates will come’from Vir
ginia, North Carolina, Maryiwd
and the District of Columbia.
According to Codespoti, one of
the aims of the convention is to
help Christians to serve -their
own communities as teachers of
the Bible. He said the Eden
ton congregation spends about
135 hours a month in free home
Bible instruction here. The
Richmond coriMention is one' of
37 conventions held in the
United States this year.
NORTH CAROLINA PEACH
CROP FAR SHORT OF 1963
The North Carolina peach crop
is estimated at 200,000 bushels,
only 13 per cent as large as in
1963 when 1,500,000 bushels
were produced.
The late March freeze com
pletely destroyed the crop in
many orchards of the Sandhills
area. Outside of the Sandhills
area, freeze damage to the crop
was not as severe and a few or
chards will produce a • fair to
good crop.
The May drip was very light,
but the maximum potential pro
duction will not materialize be
cause of a drastically curtailed
spray program.

Danger, A Waterfall Ahead
There were two brother* who
spent their time at the river.
They loved to play follow the*
leader in their boats. Their par
ents warned- them notato go -too
close to the waterfall. They
were out boat-riding one Sunday
afternoon, not paying too much
attention to where they were
headed. They went into the
rapids that headed for the falls;
The oldest said, “follow me and
I’ll get you out.” A man stand
ing on the bank yelled “you
haven’t got a chance. Here grab
this rope”. “I don’t need it,”
yelled the oldest. He went on
over -the falls. The youngest
tried for shore but couldn’t get
anywhere. He said, “Please,
Qod, help me.” The man tossed
him a rope and he was pulled
to safety. God is standing on
the bank 'and will toss you a
rope. Which brother are you go
ing to be? I don’t need it or
please, God, help me. Don’t be
like a piece of- wood that just
drifts along. Find out where
you are going.
The Bible says “And it shall
come to pass, that- whosoever
shall call on the name of the
Lord shall be saved.”—Acts 2:21.

THE WHOLE HOUSEHOLD
OF GOD
International Sunday School
Lesson for June 28, 1964.
Memory Selection: “You are no
longer strangers and sojourners,
but you are fellow citizens with
the saints and members of the
household of God.”
(Ephesians 2:19).
Lesson Text:
Ephesians 2:11-22; 4:1-16
Today the purpose of our
study is to clarify in our own
minds some of 'the beliefs, prac
tices, and areas of common wit
ness that we, as Christians,
should share.
The Letter to the Ephesians
which serves as ithe basis of ouf
study 'today was written at a
time when there was separation
and a great open hostility be
tween the Gentiles and the Jews.
Religion was enmeshed in rigid
rituals and cannons which too
many observed with what bor
dered on fanaticism, and thus
further served to erect -a wall be
tween the sects. It was this
background that prompted Paul
to write what is considered one
of the greatest of his Letters to
the Church, for ■ its theme was
Christian unity.
The world is still a divided
world . . . strife exists between
man and man, between man and
his God. But God has as his
plan the healing of the breach,
the bringing of harmony be
tween man and man, between
man "and God. All are to be
united in Christ, and it is to be
done through the church. The
church is to proclaim to those
who are at hand, and to those
who. are far off, that the old
war is over. The church is the
body, Christ is the head, and all
are one.

There is nothing on earth
which should unite men so
strongly as the love of Christ.
There is no denying the fact
that there will continue to be
differences in the ecclesiastical
' systems. Each man will be
’ aware that there are some creeds
1 that he will not be able, in all
1 conscience and honesty, to ac
cept. But a deep and ingrained
• conviction will acknowledge the
fact that it is not a credo that
saves or dams an individual . . .
it is God’s grace through faith
in Jesus Christ that saves, just
as it is a lack of this faith that
1 leaves a man lost and groping.
Fortunately for mankind, and
the future of the world, God is
’ still acting savingly in Christ
for the whole world. Divisions
! still exist in the- Christian
’ church, it is true, but they are
i not existing as sharply as here
i tofore. Presbyterians, Baptists,
■ Methodists, Roman Catholics —
• whatever the denomination—are
1 working together with a greater
) understanding and tolerance than
- ever before for the common
i good. Being dependent on God,
■ they are also dependent upon
; each other, just as the members
l -of a family are dependent upon
' each other. And, like the mem
» bers in a well-ordered family,
; differences of opinion are ac
cepted and respected. The com
[ mon, over-riding goal takes pref
! erenee. Christ is the head of
[ the family.
; Membership in the church
means ministry—active ministry.
The Christian soon learns that
resident in God’s household re
- quires the strictest discipline and
commitment. The boundaries are
- not localized .. . they are world
: wide.
■ Real church work is not just
I serving church dinners, setting
■ up bazaars, or arranging church
! outings. It is the ministry of the I

What a shot! Photographers love to find a scene like this. Flowing,
water ... a background of trees ... a church spire in the distance . . . \
these always make an outstanding picture.
Wherever we travel we see Christian churches in harmonious set
tings, and there’s a tendency to think of them as ‘‘part of the scenery.” i
But what an important part they are! Every one is a House of God,
dedicated to His service. Every one is a community focal point, helping in
a thousand ways to broaden and beautify the lives of its members. And
! every one is a vital link in the shining chain of Christian belief that*
t stretches around the world.
Not far from where you live, there’s a church that could give your >
{life a new dimension. Whatever doubts and fears you may have, bring
ithem to God in His House. You can -rely on His promise that He will not’
leave you comfortless.
