Sk by Mrs. Leacie Brooks
Sua*? School .opened at
fe30 with a sans by M^e. Ella
Baker, entitled "Let Us Have
A Little Talk With Jeans, He
Makes Things Aff Right."
A good program was pot on
by the jr. class assisted by
their teacher, Mrs. Mary
Locklear.
Frond ot every member in
the adult class, we again
received the attentaace ban
ner.
The lesson study was taken
from 1st Thessaloniaas 5th
chapter, verses 1 through 11.
The theme being "A Church
the World Noticed; Subject:
"Living in the Light."
' Paul, in rsnorr letter, to the
Thessaktnians, dealt only with
subjects of importance. Let us
see today the importance of
living in the Light, especially
.so in the last days, of which
Paul prophesied in the verses
before us.
Alter instructing the Thes
salonians concerning the wel
fare of their dead loved ones,
and those who were alive in
Christ, Paul introduced the
next part of his letter, by
mentioning the subject of
"The Times and the Ser
mons." He immediately re
turned to the subject of the
last days by reminding them
that they already knew per
fectly that die day of the
Lord...(would come) as a thief
in the night.
i
The rapture at the Church.
the coming of the Lord...is bat
?a instantln the beginning of
die day of the Lord, that will
come unexpectedly, as a thief
in the night. This day..the
final and terrible day of God's
wrath in the end. .will com
sadly enough, when people
are not expecting it. The
world will be in distress and
the people will cry "Peace
and Safety", but peace and
safety they will not find.
"Sadden destruction," de
clared Paul, will come upon
those who are not ready for
that day. Before they realize
it, unbelievers will be in a
condition of extreme misery,
of travail, even as that of a
woman with child. This seems
to mean that they too..the
unexpecting ones..will desire
to be delivered from the
depression that rests upon
them..but the sad word is that
"they shall not escape."
Paul again drew a dark line
of difference between the fete
of those who believe and
those who do not. After
warning the church of all that
will happen to those who look
falsely for peace and safety,
but who evidently do not know
Christ Those who cry peace
and safety in the face of all
that happens in the end-time
do but live in darkness. Their
understanding, direction and
hopes are dark. But not so

day of Darkness, the day of
doom, wftl come (as a thief)
I upon those who look far peace

not.
Then Peal brought in an
other good thought before the
Thesealoniana by ??curing
them that they indeed were
H-I.HJ # Hjlii It ??mMLImm
cnuaren at iignt, couuren
of the day," end not children
of die night, or of darkness.
Those whose hope is not in
Christ ere children of dark
ness and night. Those whose
hope is in Christ are children
of light and day.
Satan's children walk in
darkness because he is the
master of darkness and he
himself walks therein. Satan's
children walk and live in the
night because he is the
sovereign of night.
But the children of God
walk in light for their Master
is the Lord of Light. They are
children of the day because
their God is the author of the
day.
Those who look for a false
peace and safety and who
sleep in die night are the
more doomed because they
are drunken in the night.
They are intoxicated with
their own evil affairs, selfish
desires, and false hopes.
But those who live in the
day know the way. They have
their directions straight. If
only the unbelievers could
arouse from their drunkeness
enough to see die tight and
hear the truth.
To do so, they would find it
necessary to put on the

HAVE YOU DOME ANY
SHOTTING AT HEAVEN'S
GHOCEKYSTOKE
One day I aaw a sign that read
"Heaven's Grocery Store."
Aa I got up a little ckseer,
the door came open wide and
when I cam to myself, I was
standing just inside.
I saw a host of angels, who
were standing everywhere.
One handedme a basket, and
said. "My child, please shop
with care." Everything a
Christian needed was in that
grocery store. And all you
couldn't carry, you could sure
come back for more.
First 1 got some pedeeee,
love, was in the very same
row. Further down was under
attmdMg. You'll need it where
ever you go.
1 got a box or two of
^MeBi a bag or two of faith.
1 just couldn't miss the He|y
Ghent because it was all over
the place. 1 stoped to get some
strength and courage to shelp
me run this race. By then my
basket was getting full, but 1
remembered 1 needed some
"'now I didn't forget eahra
tlea. Salvation, that was free.
So 1 tried to get enough of
that, to save both you and me.
Then, 1 started up to the
counter to pay by grocery bill.
1 thought I had enough of
everything to do my master's
will. But, as I went up the
aisle I saw prayer. And 1 just
had to put that in for I knew
when 1 stepped outside, I'd
run right into sin. Pence and
Joy were plentiful. They were
all on the last shelf. Songs and
pratoes they were hanging
near, so 1 reached and helped
my self. Then I said unto the
angle, "How much do I
owe?" He smiled and said
"Just take your basket where
ever you may go." Again I
looked at him and said,
JU$**e4 at him and
said, "How much do 1 really
owe?" He smiled again and
said, "My child, Jesus paid
you bill long long ago A1

Mrs. Macy WoodeR spoke^
from the pulptt on Sunday
morning about prayer. My
mind drifted back to 1967
when my only son was in Viet
Nam. At the time I was not a
Christian, but everywhere I
went to church and those 1
net who were Christians, 1
would ask them to pray for Ms
return.
There was one person, a
dear Saint, who lived dose by.
1 met her daily. Mrs. Elsie
was an outstanding, devout
person. She would tell me,
"Don't worry, I have assu
rance he is coming back
home." Prayers were ans
wered. The Bible says there is
no distance in prayer. I think
Mrs. Macy is well acquainted
with prayer and what it will
do. I certainly think Sunday
was a remarkable day. We are
so blessed to have a team of
Christian women who are able
and willing and determined
to do what they can.
The Adult Ladies Chorus
rendered special music. There
was also a solo by Mrs. Mary
Jane Bryant which was re
markable.
The children's sermon was
really inspiring, led by Mrs.
Ludalia Cummings.
I hear the breakfast mess
age by Mrs. Dolores Jones
was wonderful. Mrs. Jones
stayed over for morning wor
ship too. Also present was
Mrs. Norma Jean Thompson
and many more.
MT. A1KY JAYCEE
BREAKFAST
Mr. John L. Locklear, Jr.
was the guest speaker at the
Sunday, the 25th at April. He
spoke oa Humanitarian!. The
food things that Jaycee or
ganizations do throughout
their communities in relation
tot he life of Christ who went
about doing good throughout
His ministry here on earth.
He was able to reference
several characters who have
been good Samaritans in their
life time. He also warned
them that doing good was not
just enough, that without
accepting Christ in their lives,
their rewards would not be so
great.
Visitors were members of
the Mt. Airy Brotherhood,
Rev. Sanford Locklear, Mr.
Talmadge Woodell, Mr. Lon
nie Locklear, Mr. Eutie
Wilkins, Mr. Foster Locklear
and Mr. Johnny Maynor.
They report that they really
appreciate the invitation from '
the jaycees. j

whet it can do for people.
Mot* things MO wrought by
dMfta powerful fame which
needs no argument to support
it tmyt Itself. Prayer has
much to me that I want to teg
twiyoat so they too aright
\have the aame eorkhiog.
1 One incident stands oat
clearly in my mind. That is
what Mom said throegh the
years. She had prayed to thre
to see all her children saved
and she did.
Some people Uve as if they
are on top of the world and
nothing is going to go wrong.
Such idealism and expectation
are alright, bat what reality
shows its other face, a person
needs solid inner resources to
get them through difficulties
without weakening his faith.
Read I Thessoiooians 5:17.
Prayer can overcome any
obstacle. I guess we all have
problems. One writer said,
"All who don't have problem
are in the cemetery. I assume
he is right.
"Rudeness is the weak
man* imitation of strength."
