Har ley Martin, refuge protector, reported 202 hunters checked into the refuge Monday with a deer kill of 18 and no hogs.

Christum Pastor First Baptist Church Andrews. N. C. W hen the church decided to hold a meeting In order to revive the fellowship, some one suggested that an evalgel 1st be employed. There was an opinion expressed by one member that this could be done, butitwould mean hiring a man to do what a member should do. If the meeting was a success, all could say it was from the Lord. If it was a poor one, it could be said that the evan gelist couldn't preach. How - ever. If we'd go out anil talk 14} the church and tell about the Savior, and find a dis ciple like PhiIipfo?mdNathan iel, we could soon make our church house overflow. The one thing we need Is for every n an to go out and make a disciple. Our lives haven't touched the life of the world*as Christ intended. Men are going up * and down the earth winning new members to clubs and societies, and salesmen are beating the bushes everywhere selling goods and making new customers, but church people sit by and wonder how much it will cost to get an evangel- * ist to come 'ami give them a lift. i ne story is iuiu w ? woman who dropped her dia mond ring into a dirty street gutter. She tried to get it by probing with an umbrella. Failing at this, she rolled up her sleeve and placed her lily-white hand down in the filth, until she found the lost ring. It may be that the world is tired of being poked at by an umbrella. If we're going to find the Lord's diamonds that are in the mush and slush of the world, we've got to reach out our hands to rescue. There is much hard work, but little heart work tn our churches tnJay. When our Lord wanted dis ciples, he went after them. We say, "Lefs hire a man to bring them in." Jesus found Philip, who found Nathaniel, and that's the way the church grew. If all of us would go out and find dis ciples, we would have a new spiritual awakening. How many of our readers ever talk ed to the unconverted about th? Christian religion? If we have no stars in our crown except those put there for a person we've helped lead to Christ, how many of us would have any stars at all? PTA To Hear Dr. W. S. Cann l)r. W. S.
