C. Scriptare Reading: Exodus, 5: 1 ?homth ?: l. Text: Who is this Lord? Exodus 5: 2 Pbaroh asks a question. And if a man has peace of mind from yes terday, or hopes for tomorrow, it is because he knows the answer. "Who is this Lord" who makes demands alike upon slave and king; and who expects to be obey ed, or else! Who is this Lord who so makes demands; and why should I or you, or king, or ser vant, be under necessity of obed ience! And if you or I obey him, what will we be doing! God is gracious,? he has provided all things needful unto salvation. But when he gives an order, he does not say "please". It is OBEY, or else. An answer is required. In the first place, it is God who created all things. No one would be so silly as to look at a new auto mobile, and says,?" no one manu factured it, no one made it, no one designed it, just happened in the course of time " Yet there are many who look upon this world, and say, "No one made it, no one STERLING BY Wallace International Towle Gorham CHINA BY Lenox Haviland Iroquois Royal Doulton 1 Telephone and mail orders are promptly filled SNEED JEWELRY CO.

Proud a an I Saying, no toe de signed it, becauae be cannot under stand bow it was designed and created! God created oar world. And because He loved every indiv idual in it. He sent His Son into the world, to reveal God's thoughts to us, and to establish our pathway to God. And because God creates, and because He loves individuals, He has shown himself the God of history, supporting each nation as long as it was the best lifting force for its individuals: and when it fail ed so to be, letting it fall, so that another form of government could take its place. Babylon, Egypt, Rome,? all bore witness to these things in days of "old:? and the Bible has not been repealed- He is the God of our futures. Just as we are obligated to our parents, we are obligated to God, and for the same reasons. We need guidance in youth, if we are to act rightly when mature. In this world, in childhood we should be so led that in adulthood we can stand alone. In things spiritual, in this world we should be so led (so obey God)) that in eternity (spirit ual adulthood) we can take our plac es as citizens and children of God. Our obligation is to the future. The obligation of childhood is to adult hood, that adulthood be not thrown away for the (supposed) pleasures of childhood. As grown people, our obligation is still to the future, that we throw not eternity away for the pride of self-rule, instead of God rule, in this temporary world. We are obligated, not that it is for the good of God, but that is for our own eternal salvation: afld the way to achieve it is to love, honor, and serve God with oup whole hearts. Pharoh could not see this; and Pharoh lost! ?wno is inis Lorar tie is uoa, whose son Jesus the Christ came to us. And his words still ring, ? "set my people free". And like so many Pharohs, do we not still make excuses? "Feed the hun gry". And make excuses. "Cut all evil speech, and every comment that gives pain, out of your lips". And we make excuses, and pat our selves on the back. "Give to Me, God, your time, and your labor, on every Lord's day". And we make excuses. "Give me your hearts, and I will give you souls eternal". And we answer, "we had rather have recreation, and meet this world like it is. If we go to chuch, we miss our sleep: if we try to control our children, they may blame us later: if we tell no white lies, we may lose our friends". These choices are ours, not God's: and it is we alone who pay the penalty eternal. Unlike Pharoh, we know the answers to the question, "Who is this Lord"? Of all people whom we answer, it is most difficult of all to give the right answers to OURSELVES. Satan is the devil because he takes his answers as correct instead of listening to God's answers. And yet, how many would answer as did Satan,? "That sounds all right, but I think ? - ? So let us give ourselves the RIGHT answers. "Who is this Lord"? He is the Lord we hear in scriptures, listen to in sermons, and appeal to in prayers. "Who is this Lord"? He is the ONE who holds our future in his judgment. "Who is this Lord"? It is he to whom Christian enthusiasm, Chris tian rearing to adulthood of our children, and pureness of heart, are among the answers that are the right answers, unto eternity. "Who is this Lord". He is the Lord our God, and Him only will we serve. QUESTION: I have a steep bank in my yard. What can I plant so I won't have to mow it? ANSWER: There are several plants called "ground covers" which should solve your problem: English ivy, evergreen vine, grows well all over the state: Common Periwinkle, an evergreen vine with small blue flowers, does best in half to dense shade; Poneyfoot, a short native creeping vine, does well in either sun or shade; Lily turf or Mondo grass, member of the the lily family, grows low, has grass-like leaves and purple to white flowers, does best in shade Tar Heel farmers cooperating with 37 soil conservation districts last year drained more than 9, i 400 acres of land.

WDLMES WRONG BOIH Win There U an old French wpw tLM. ?The abeent are alwayi *^25 proverb should have a spec kal significance lor all follower* of Christ, for they like Chriat ahould be interested in everyone's welfare, not Juat their own. Therefore, they should be found in greater num bers than all others in those vital fields which is concerned with the well-being of the vast majority of mankind-education, government, labor management and writing. It is a bad sign when Christians are absent from these fields in normal times; but deplorable if they are aloof in dangerous times like the present when the godless are swarming into them as apostles of evil. Truly then the "absent are al ways wrong" , Now no one, young or old, can re lax and claim they are unfit for such fields. Each of us could have done the deed of Mr. Albert Cox of Washington, D. C., were we convinced of our obligation as Christ-bearers and not given to fear, indifference or pessimism He had found great inspiration in this 700 year old prayer of St Francis of Assisi: "Lord make me an instrument of Thy peace! Where there is hatred, let me sow love Where there is injury, pardon Where there is doubt, faith Where there is despair, hope Where there is sadness, joy! 0 Divine Master, grant that 1 may not so much seek To be consoled, as to consols To be understood, as to understand To be loved, as to love, for It is giving, that we receive it is in pardoning, that we are pardoned It is in dying, that we are born to eternal life. Desiring to share with others his own source of inspiration, Mr. Cox sent this prayer to "This Week" magazine, even tho' they might reject it- To his delight, they printed it in their 7,000,000 copies; and announced that of all the selec tions they had published, none bought as great a response as this simple prayer. Reader's Digest also printed it in its 15,000,000 copies with a tribute I to Mr. Cox. Bickford's Cafeterias in New York City distributed it to thousands of it coustomers RESOLUTION: Be alert ( "not absent") for opportunities to be an "Instrument of His Peace", even tho' not understood, consoled qr loved. "Let not thy light be hidden under a bushel". Mrs. R. H. Foard Hostess To Presbyterian Women Mrs- R. H. Foard was hostess for the meeting of the Evening circle of the Women of the Presbyterian Church at her home Monday night. Mrs. J. Franklin Smith, vice chairman, presided in the absence of the chairman Mrs. Ann Phillips conducted the Bible Study on "In \^iat Spirit?" and Mrs. Evelyn Sneed presented the study on Evangelism with em phasis on Church Extension. Members present, in addition to the hostess and those on the pro gram, were Mrs. R. A. Potter, Mrs. Mack Howell, Mrs. C. H. Townson and Mrs. L. D. Schuyler. A social hour followed the pro gram and refreshments were serv (tollman's Views Editor1* Note? Thia ia the twenty ?ecood ia a aerie* c t article* by Heinx Rollnaa, Industrialist, Wayneavllie, N. C. Now, why would we get more money in our pocket* through such a WORLD BILL OF RIGHTS, let alone that we would have to take less money out of our pockets to pay these insane high taxes A WORLD BILL OF RIGHTS, if I may just in to day'i column give a few high lights, can bring about the follow ing: The demand for our farm pro duct* from all over the world would vastly increase, since the rest of the world cannot as yet pro duce enough farm products to -feed themselves adequately. The rest of the world would have to start right at the bottom, and that is to fill their stomachs so that they can join civilization again. Without American farm pro ducts, including tobacco, the rest of the world cannot go to bed with a full stomach for the next 25 years. Once there is a much great er demand for our farm products than even we may be able to pro duce, then we can get higher pric es, the right kind of crop insurance at a reasonable price. We can then build research stations in our mountains to make life for the farmers better and more profitable since progress from here on out has to be made largely through re search, which is far too expensive to be paid for and to be made by an individual farmer. Research on such vast scale can only be fi nanced by the Federal Govern ment, and it should be paid by the Federal Government. it is toe same as in industry Small corporations just don't have the funds to undertake research, and over half of all the research in industry today is being made by a group of about SO companies. Since the publisher of this fine newspaper has to leave some room in his paper for things other than Rollman's column, I will have to continue these thoughts next week. ON OUR STREET By SALLY DAMDSON We never forget the joys of child hood: Business man and lady cross ing street, he pullinc "little red wagon" loaded with boxes, she holding them on. (No, she didn't ride back either). Grocery clerk, on side walk in early morning, fighting large rat with o broom, finally kills him.
