I'm Thankful For
Christmas And Friends
Xmas means so much to me
Cause Jesus was homed that special day
It won’t be for me, what it used to be
For my mama is twenty miles away
But God will be very close to me
And I will not be all alone
I’m living now for Jesus you see
, Cause He blessed me to have a home.
There’s so many people that I thank so much
So many of them I care for a lot
They warmed my soul with their touch
And restored true love back into my heart
When I felt my life was a drag
Important folks stepped in and said
Essie, don’t feel lost and look so sad
God is here, you should be glad.
Now I’m learning day by day
That there’s people who really cares
That there’s sure to be another way
Os getting by and paying fares.
To these people I ask one thing
Practice what you preach and preach what you practice
For a better day the holy bell will ring
Since I learned this, I am happy.

Slades’ Office.

Letter To The Herald Editor
As I sit on the bank of the Albemarle Sound on today, July
4,1976, the 200th Anniversary of our nation and look across
the sound at Edenton, I am inspired by the part she has
played in history.
In appreciation of the glory of her past and the hope of her
future, I write the following poem:
Edenton! Fair Edenton!
Ancient in Thy regal splendor,
Mother city of this land.
Gateway to his land of freedom,
In the brotherhood of man.
Edenton! Fair Edenton,
Emerald of .the Albemarle.
Facing South upon blue waters,
Queen of all which you survey.
Elegant in they daylight splendor,
Shimmering silver in the night.
Edenton! Fair Edenton,
Emerald of the Albemarle.
Cradle of aborning freedoms
Tyrants enemy, Freedom’s friend.
Noble in original purpose
True and faithful to the end.
Edenton! Fair Edenton,
Emerald of the Albemarle.

(Editor’s Note: Mr. Pharr, minister of Plymouth
Presbyterian Church, has dedicated the poem to John A.
Mitchener, Jr., and his family. “He has done more than any
other one man to make Edenton the charming place which it
is,” the pastor wrote.)

this is necessary whether building an object or building your life.

time-honored aids in building a strong character—your church! Like millions before
you, you may find just what you need to make your plans succeed. «
Achieve success? This is what we all want and what we plan for. Start your
planning now by going to church next. Sunday.

ATTEMPTING SELF-SUFFICIENCY
International Sunday School Lesson
Scripture: Genesis 25:29-34
By Mrs. Jesse Waller
-Today we begin a unit, and continue the study all through
the November lessons, entitled “God’s Will: Our Accept
ance of Servanthood.”
The implications in the lesspn today are so contemporary
that it reads like the front page of our newspaper. The sins
which confront so many youth, and adults, are all bound up
with selfishness. Our sin nature, and human weakness gives
us the false impression that we can go it alone. Some say
they don’t need God or anyone else' telling them how to run
their lives. The end result of that kind of attitude is that
they end up leaving God out, and letting others set their
pattern of behavior. *
Jacob and Esau were really doing their thing, without any
help from anyone else, in their contriving and selfish ways.
When one is physically hungry it would be easy to succomb
to a hot bowl of lentil soup. But how could Esau do this,
knowing, that he would lose his birthright, which was so im
portant in his day? Jacob evidently knew his brother well,
and realized that his stomach was his most vuiemable ap
* proach. Already there was selfishness and deceit in the
family,because Esau was favored by his father, and Jacob
was his mother’s favorite twin. Out of this situation jeal
ousy pew between the twins, Jacob and Esau.
Do you see a resemblance in your family which matches
theirs? Self sufficiency is so short sighted. So many are
willing to settle for the immediate gratification, which is
momentary, and always is followed hy repet.
The heart of (his narrative is not Jacob’s clever trading
the bowl of soup for Esau’s birthright, it is the blatant in
difference of Esau. Then, naturally follows the conse
quences of such irresponsibility. Esau disinherited his
children, left them wild men of the desert and rocks, in
stead of leaving them heirs of the promises that through his
life would came the premised Messiah. He was not fit for
such a promise.
Then we arefamilar with the unfolding of the story of
Jacob, who suffered for his deceitfulness. He was, in turn
deceived fay his Uncle Lalmn, to whom he had been sent fay
his parents to find a wife, tie had no dowry, so had to work
seven years for Rachel, whom he loved. Laban tricked him,
and gave him Leah, the older daughter, after dark. It was
morning before Jacob knew Laban had tan eked him. Then f l ,
Laban made him work an.additional sever years for Rachel.
Self-sufficiency is especially deadly in the. matter of mar- ~ \
r>age. Our customs are different today, and youth is permit
ted to find their own mates. Many feel that it is not neces- ' ,
sary to wait for self gratification unft.il marriage-they wreck *
several lives in their pursuit of security, and are not willing '
to wait for God’s guidance and sanction. It Was shocking
- and most indiscreit, recently, to have toe wife of our Presi
dant to express the view that is so popular today, on the
CBS-TV “60 mintfte” program. She auggeated that more sex
ual freedom wifi* result in leas divorce. On toe other band
it has increased divorce an* trial marine, mad wrecked
countless liv&. -*
Closing thought: Dear Father, all of us need to know what '
you reipiire of us as intovidssfii; Help us, especially, to \ * -4' -
