Bondon Notebook By Maggie B.
By MAGGIE B.
HOW IS YOUR
MEMORY? Sometimes it
pays to wipe your mind
dear of all things which
tend to depress you, make
you fed guilty or want to
“strike back”. In glancing
through my “Leaves of
Gold” I came across this
anonymous article on
“What to Forget”. Share it
with me: “If you would
increase your happiness and
prolong your life, forget
your neighbor’s faults.
Forget all the slander you
have ever heard. Forget the
temptations. Forget the
fault finding. Forget the
j'»culiarities of your friends,
and only remember the good
points which make you fond
of them. Forget all personal
quarrels or histories you
may have heard by accident
- don’t repeat them. Blot out
as far as possible all the
disagreeables of life; they
will come but will only grow
larger when you remember
them, and the constant
thought of the acts of
meanness, or, worse still,
malice, will only tend to
make you more familiar
with them. Obliterate
everything disagreeable
from yesterday: write upon
today’s clean sheet those
things lovely and loveable.
Sunday dawned bright
and beautiful. Supt. H.T.
Bunting warmly welcomed
ail assembled at Bandon
Chapel for Sunday School.
He announced that a
Congregational Meeting will
be held on September 6th,
the first Tuesday in Sep
tember, for the election of
officers for the coming year.
He stressed the importance
of attendance by all
members. (This was also
announced by Dr. Bill at the
Worship Service.)
Bible Study will be
Wednesday at 7:30 P.M. in
Fellowship Hall under the
leadership of Dr. Bill and
Tom Dilday. Everyone is
welcome. Choir practice
follows at 8:30 P.M. under
direction of Mrs. Bonnie
Price. Anyone interested in
singiqg with, the choir is
invited to attend.
The BCWG will meet on
Thursday from 11 A.M. to 3
P.M. Bring a sandwich,
your favorite project and
join in the fun and
fellowship.

by Mrs. Robin Adycock, had
as their subject “We Take
Care of God’s House”. The
children learned that King
Jonas helped fix up God’s
house by encouraging
people to give, so that they
would have a feeling of joy
as they worshipped at God’s
house. Mrs. Adycock was
amazed by the amount of
biblical knowledge
possessed by our children
and the many things they
thanked God for.
Our Juniors, taught by
Mrs. Mary Elizabeth Beach,
studied “What Difference
Has Hie Bible Made?”, I
John 2:1-5,12-15; 4:10. Aim
was that the student may
desire that the Bible be
translated into every
language and distributed to
every people.
“Samson: Struggle
Against Oppositon”, Judges
}3: 1; 16: 23-20, was the
subject for our adults,
taught by Wm. F. (Butch)
Smith. Aim was that adult
Christians pray that God
will bring judgment on His
enemies in the world today
and liberate Christians
suffering political and
economic oppression.
Prayer List: Prayer
covers everything and
everybody, and no matter
where, when or how men
pray it profoundly affects
their lives. As Leo Baeck
said “The purpose of prayer
is to allow us to be alone
with God and apart from
other men, to give us
seclusion in the midst of the
world.” Please add our
friends to your prayer list.
Roy Housden, although still
weak and in pain, was able
to get out of the house and
ride around for a while with
Dr. Bill last week. He
seemed to enjoy it very
much. Please pray for Roy
and his wife, Kitty; Louise
Waters is about the same.
Pray for her improvement;
Helen Ellingwood is home
but still suffering after
effects of heat exhaustion;
Meta and Bob Mason are
both home from the hospital
but still in need of prayer;
Donna Hardison is still
confined to Albemarle
Hospital suffering from
peptic ulcers ; Opal Gregory
is improving; also
remember “Duck” Reid;
George Bunch, Jr., Eleanor
Jackson; Blanche Kight;
Mona Voliva; Lula Work
man; Claudine Bailey; and
add A1 Owens of Chowan
who is scheduled to enter the
hospital on Tuesday. Please
remember our missionaries
Nita Pride, the David Smith
Family and our beloved
pastor, Dr. W.J.B.
Livingston.
We had a real treat
Sunday -a mother-daughter
team! With Mrs. Bonnie
Price at the piano, she and
her mother,. Mrs. Doris
Squires, their voices
blending perfectly, sang a
beautiful and inspiring duet
entitled “Jesus and Me”.
Made everyone wish for
more.
It has . been said that
“preachers who saturate
their sermons with the Word
of God never wear out”.
That’s exactly how we, who
have the privilege of
hearing our beloved Dr.
W.J.B. Livingston, feel
when we listen to his in
spired messages. His
thought-provoking message
for our Worship Service this
week was “How To Increase
Your Faith”, Luke 7: 1-10.
“Faith” is putting your
trust in something that
works. In our scripture we
have a perfect example of
faith. The Roman Centurion
had a servant very dear to
him who was sick and near
death. He felt that he wasn’t
worthy for Jesus to enter his
house so he sent friends to
Him and told Him to “just
say the word and he knew
his servant would be
healed.” Jesus marvelled
and said “I have not found
so great faith, no, not in
Israel”. The servant was
healed. From this Cen
turion, we can learn how to
increase our faith.
Covered Dish Supper
enjoyed by all! Such
delicious food - just about
everything you can
imagine! Dave Lapham
received compliments from
all on his “pot of Navy
Beans” - as did Jack
Strickland on his most
enjoyable “Chicken and
Dumplings”. We even had
delectable “Won-Tons”
made by Connie Pate!
There were all kinds of good
ole home cooked fresh
vegetables and luscious
deserts -for sure, we have
some of the best codes
anywhere! Many thanks to
our hosts, Mr. and Mrs.
Monroe Adycock and Mr.
and Mrs. Owen Pate. Be
sure to mark your calendars
now for the 3rd Friday in
September (16th). Our hosts
will be Mr. and Mrs.
Medford Taylor.
First timers to Bandon
this week were Mrs. Joyce
Smith and daughter from
Haledon, N.J., guests of
Mrs. Taylor. Welcome. We
hope you enjoyed our ser
vices and will come again
. soon.

A READING SUMMER
Thanks to the generosity of
Hardee’s, the number of
books read by children this
summer is file largest ever
recorded in the Pettigrew
Region. Long after the free
hamburgers are forgotten,
the effects of learning to
enjoy books will be ap
parent.
A side-effect of our
summer reading program is
one that we did not an
ticipate. Because each child
had to tell a librarian about
each book read, the ability
to put thoughts into words,
to articulate ideas, was
greatly enhanced. And the
personal attention - one-on
one so to speak • created an
increased sense of im
portance to the child as well
as giving the librarians new
insight into the Ways a
child’s mind works. It would
be hard to say who learned
the most - the children or the
librarians.
My own reading this
summer included a splendid
book with Australia as the
setting. THE THORN
BIRDS by Colleen Mc-
Cullough is an engrossing
story of a Catholic family
who lived on a vast sheep
ranch. The characters were
very well drawn and the
incidental geography lesson
was interesting but I was
especially pleased with the
frequent mention of the
importance to the family of
library bodes. The isolation
of life in the “Outback” and
the absence of other forms
of diversion made reading
the favorite recreation for
this hard-working family.
1 SCREECHES
FLAWED FORMS lt
was with a huge sigh of
relief that I packaged the
various parts of my annual
report to the State Library
this week. The better part of
the past six weeks was
devoted to compiling the
vast amount of information
they requested and
assembling it on the many
forms provided.
Since I was on the com
mittee that revised the
design of some of these
forms, it came as a bit of a
shock to find that we had not
anticipated some of the
problems that could arise.
Only when one tries to fill
out a form does it truly
become apparent how
ambiguous some of the
questions can be.
The facts were pretty
impressive. We now have
93,861 cataloged books in the
region. This amounts to 2.54
bodes per capita since the
Pettigrew Regional Library
serves a population of
36,959. And that does not
include the large collection
of uncataloged paperback
books.
