WORDS OF LIFE
REV. J. EDWIN CARTER, Pastor
First Meihadist Church
Andrews, N. C
"BOORS TO DOING GOOD"
"Jesus went about doing good".
"All things are yours; and you
are Christ's and Christ is God's-"
The third of our list of Inexhaus
tible Resources and the most prac
tical and present of them all, is
The Opportunity to Do Good. To
a lot of people this part is so ob
vious and taken-for-granted that
it fails to be "taken". Nor is it
thought of as "granted" of God,
daily and lavish resource for a
bundant living. Yet it is a truly
great need of our day. President
Eisenhower recently stated that
with so much of the negative and
destructive taking the initiative it
is "the greatest glory of our so
ciety."? acts of good works.
A recent article entitled .'Ameri
ca's Amazing Women" tells of 20
million volunteer service workers
and their labors of love in behalf
of their fellow men. The challenge
was presented pointedly to the
interested and available public
with the words: "There are op
port unities for twenty million
more"
What is true in welfare work
through its efficient department,
is true in a hundred other places
in God's world for one of the four
great inexhaustible resources of
God is "opportunities to do good."
Doors for useful service are not
limited, and anyone who really
wants to engage as Jesus of Naz
areth in doing good, has no diffi
culty in finding not one but many
doors waiting to be pushed open
Each person can reason or fancy
as one boy who took cookies to
sick neighbors, annoucing: "I'm
Donald of Marengo, going about
doing good."
I have friend, retired from
business who during the last ten
years has filled his life with in
teresting, helpful and creative ac
tivity. Growing flowers and vege
tables to share with others, visit
ing the sick, serving his Church,
nobody enjoys life better than
this man, because he labors for
love's sake, in the Lord's vineyard
with its unlimited opportunities
for doing good. Like Jesus before
him, he is opening doors of help
fulness and is really living.
PLAY IT
SAFE
Few persons realize the extent to
which they may be held liable for dam
ages for unintentionally causing bodily
injury to others or damaging their prop
erty. Hundreds of everyday happenings
like the ones shown here may easily
result in law suits that could wipe out
your home and life savings.
The Comprehensive Personal Lia
bility Policy provides complete protec
tion for your home and income against
claims for damages from causes of this
kind and at a price every responsible
persons can well afford.

Pointers On Mailing
Practices Given
Postmaster General Arthur E.
Summerfield says new postage
rates make it more important than
ever to use good mailing prac
tices.
He gave these suggestions on
how to mail economically and ef
ficiently:
Mail early in the day
Many mailers allow letters to
pile up until the end of the day
before mailing. This often causes
the mail to miss connections and
may delay delivery as much as 24
hours -
Separate out-of-town mail from
local mail.
If you have large quantities of
mail, bundle them before mailing
with "local" and "out-of-town"
bands which are available free at
most large post offices.
Use complete address.
Complete street, number, rural
route or post office box number
should be used on all mail. Be
sure that the name of the street
is complete with avenue, parkway
or drive. Avoid abbreviation of
street and state names- Incom
plete addressing is often unneces
sary, too, oecause mailers have
full addresses available.
Use zone numbers wherever
possible.
It is surprising how many peo
ple fail to do this, even when the
The results of such co-operation
with God are not hidden, for the
very activity proves our faith, and
in the words of James 5: 22 "cov
ers a multitude of (our own) sins.
Good needs and wants us to build
upon the bed-rock of good inten
tion our structure of good works
We will be sharing the prayer of
the poet "To act, Lord, to act,
that is our greatest need. Help us
to place above the brave intent,
the deed, the deed." Thus will we
enter the doors to doing good, and
by the grace of God, gain admis
sion at last into his nearer pres
ence. So may it be.

LOCAL LIBRARY GOOD STARTING
PLACE FOR THOSE PLANNING TRIP
Taking an tn-stat trip during
August or the months to comeT
Your local library is a good
starting point, no matter what
part of North Carolina you plan to
visit
With August being observed as
"See North Carolina" month,
libraries thoughout the State are
names- Be sure to include your
zone number in your address.
Check your postage scales.
All mail with inadequate pos
tage is now forwarded- If your
scales are incorrect, this can
mean embarassing postage due
collections must be made from
the addressee. This can generate
resentment, and ruin the value of
letters, particularly business let
ters- Also, letters with inadequate
postage require extra handling
and may be delayed.
Where it may be necessay to
prove that a particular letter was
delivered, "Certified mail," of
fering many advantages of regis
tered mail at less cost, is a good
way of cutting down on postage
bills- (Be sure, however, that cash
and irreplaceable papers are
sent by registered mail.)
Consult your locai postmaster if
you have a mailing problem.
The Post Office Department is
as anxious as you are that your
mailings be correctly prepared.
Your local postmaster will be
happy to advise you on technical
mailing problems arising under
new postages rates and how to use
the mails most economically and
efficiently.

Soil Conservation
NEWS

JOHN
SMITH
About a week ago I delivered a
Soil and Water Conservation Farm
plan to R. L. Donley who lives on
the Peachtree-Marble Road. While
talking about the farm plan, Mr.
Donley told me about an interest
ing thing about liming a pasture
He said that about seven years
ago he had seeded a pasture just
across from bis house and had
put a small amount of lime on
part of the field. He did not have
enough lime to go all over the
field but put the little bit out by
hand. He had walked up the hill
for a hundred feet or so scattering
the lime as he went. Now after
seven years, the grass is still
greener where the lime was
spread than it is in the rest of
the pasture.
Harry Bishop at Peachtree
consistently has the best looking
pastures in Cherokee County.
There are several reasons why his
pastures are always in good con
n
dttion. First, he appUM fertiliser,
Mil commercial and chicken lit
ter, regularly and generously.
Second, he never has too many
cows on any pasture at one time.
The cattle never have to eat the
grass into the ground and aa a re
iuft the pastures stay lush and
green
Two farmers in Cherokee Coun
ty have recently told me of patch
es of Sericea Lespedesa which
they planted several years ago.
They are J. L. Hall Jr., and
Bass Dockery. This perennial le
gume is an excellent plant for
land that is shallow, steep or
poor. It is a very deep-rooted
plant and will stand dry weather
much better than most common
grasses or legumes. When cut in
the esrly stages of growth it
m?kes excellent hay and proper
ly managed, it is a top-notch pas
ture crop.
The fastest growing thing in
Cherokee County is the bass fing
erling which were put in four or
five ponds in Msy. Mount Allen .
showed me some of these fish
which were not more than an inch .
long when stocked in his pond ;
near Isabella, Tenn- Now in less
than four months these fish have
grown to four and five inches
long. They must be getting plenty
of food to grow like that.
G. D. Nix who runs a dairy
farm on the Hanging Dog road
has just completed a small fish
pond on his farm. Mr. Nix built
the pond with his farm equipment
It will be stocked with bream this
fall and bass next spring.
Carl Sudderth of Peachtree has
also just completed a nice pond
on bis farm. Bass and Bream
fingerlings for his pond have al
ready been requested from the U
S. Department of the Interior
hatchery at Cohutta, Ga.
Soil and water conservation
farm plans have been delivered
this week to several farmers.
Those receiving plans are Mrs.
Ethel W. Slagle of Andrews, A- Z.
Jones of Liberty, and T. E- An
derson and Wade Anderson of the
Mocassin Creek Section. These
plans were made by the farmers
with the assistance of the Techni
cians of the Soil Conservation
Service. ? - .
