Page 10-B Bandon Notebook: By Maggie B. MEMORIAL DAY 1978! A day to stop our usual routine, honor and remember ALL our Gl’s who have fought and died to keep our country free. Freedom does not come cheap. These boys gave their all. We pay homage to them and are indebted to them fora united nation, a strong United States of America, a nation that helps other nations “find them selves’’. Also, let us not forget the many fine young men who were wounded, some crippled for. life yet they don’t give up in spite of their handicaps, with God’s help, they have become useful citizens once more; and others whose but go very deep; and all the other young men who fought for their country in far away places who had to overcome loneliness, homesickness and fear. We are proud of than all. Don’t take this hard earned FREEDOM for granted. Look back and remember why and how America came into being, then let’s go back to the premise of our founding fathers: “In God We Trust”. Asst. Supt.

Livingston. “O— --“ Faith Under Fire”, Acts 12:1-11, was the topic for our Adults, taught by Wm. F. (Butch) Smith. Aim was that adult Christians exper iencing persecution be strengthened to endure it and that those not experien cing persecution be in formed about the ones who are. The beautiful roses gracing our altar this week were donated by Mrs. Ada Barnes. —O— Dr. W.J.B. Livingston’s morning message was “Make Use of Healing Memories”, Luke 15:11-24, with emphasis on vs. 17 “..and when he came to himself..”. Our scripture told the story of the prodigal son. After the father gave the son his share of what he had, the young man left home, went to a foreign country and began to “live it up”. While his money lasted, he had many friends - whoi the money was gone, so were his “friends”, he had nothing left. The only job he could find was feeding hogs. While doing his job, so hungry he could almost eat what he was feeding the hogs, he “came that his father was rich, that his servants were living better than he was, he also remembered how unworthy he was but he decided to go home and hoped that nis father would receive him. What happened? The father had compassion on him, ran to meet him, had him cleaned up, put the family ring on his finger, a robe on his body, killed the fatted claf, everyone danced and made merry. Dr. Bill likened the father to our Heavenly Father who is always eager to welcome His wayward children. When life gets you down, remember who you are - call forth the memories of better times, take a chance on Jesus. Remember your commitments to Christ, your marriage vows, your loyalty to our country. When all else is gone, remember you are never alone. Jesus is always there, ready to THE CHOWAN HERALD forgive and forget when you repent. He will help you out of any situation, He will guide you in the right way. All you have to do is ask Him, Make Christ FIRST in your life and all your needs will be satisfied.

Jesus spoke of his followers as being like salt and leaven in society, to preserve and lift. Sometimes we feel that the remnant of Christ’s followers are sprinkled ever so lightly in society. Jesus laid down His life, so that all may be reconciled to God. His plan was left in the hands of a few witnesses, who were faithful, being empowered by His Spirit, and His promise to be with them. The plan is unchanged. Each, receiving His spirit is a new creature, and proclaims this message to another, and others. Our only hope and peace is the continuation o t this plan. A very meaningful incident took place at our annual conference this year. Dr. Harold Beck was our guest speaker at the minister’s wive’s luncheon. He was presented with a little package by a woman, who happens to be a Seminole Indian. She is a leader, and is known throughout the conference. Her name is Naomi Orphet. When Dr. Beck opened the package, it was a feather headdress, with two tea bags attached. He is a professor from Boston University. The following morning, during his devotional period, he told of receiving this gift. He explained that when be got home, in the quiet of his study, alone, he was going to m«k« a cup of tea, from the tea bags, and drink it straight, without cream or sugar. Then he was going to kneel and ask God’s forgiveness for what we have done to Naomi and her people. He also mentioned several other national figures who have felt the bed of America upon their lives. To be reconciled to each other, and to live in harmony with one another, we must first be reconciled to God, throi«h Jesus Christ. When His spirit invades, and 'fills our lives, there is a voluntary sharing with others. God’s love compels us to go and witness. It may be around the corner for some. It may be far from their homeland for others. Never should we fed that the spread of the church is a hopeless task, for Jesus said, “Be at good cheer, I have overcome the world,” John 16:33. Some of us have the idea that the church exists only where wesee a taO steeple with a cross on top. Today, the Christian ambassador is at work, not only in the church with a tall steeple, but they may be found in store froqt buildings, half way houses, in the inner city, where crime seems to rdgn. We have hospitals and children’s homes, and homes for the dderiy, and and many other institutions too numenxa to matjC, In our present celebration, and in our gratitude for our Christian heritage, let us not forget tbs unborn generations who need tbs continuiac message of love and hope.
