On Sunday morning, the
Home Choir really did some
beautiful tinging.
Bro. Donald Oxendine, a
yonng man, gave a brief
? testimony abont what his
Christian life meant to him
while he was in service taking
his basic training, if things
began to get boring to him,
and he began to get hnmbie,
he could think back on a good
hymn. And he would often
think about his mom and how
well she could sing, "He
Touched Me," which is one of
my favorites also. Donald is
the ton of Mr. and Mrs. Louie
Oxendine. His testimony was
really heart-tonching.
Afterwards, the pastor de
livered a wonderful message,
taken from Rev. 20:11-15.
Subject: "Facing God Lost."
Those who face God lost will
be denied the home that He
went away to prepare for all
those who will accept Him as
a Savior. All opportunities
that have ever been granted
to them will be remembered.
They will have all eternity to
regret the decisions they
made to not accept Jesus as
their personal Savior. I want
to encourage you. Preaching
the gospel does get results.
This young lady who 1 did not
know by name, but noticed
how the pastor's message was
dealing with her. As we were
leaving out of church, she had
gotten to the pew. 1 went over
and began talking with her.
Tears were telling from her
eyes as other gathered
around. She then surrendered
her heart to Christ. She was a
granddaughter of Mrs. Docia
OtendmasjEhanlrGed for her.
Others also mgde a commit

The pastor and his family
departed late Sunday evening
to attend the pastors' confer
ence in Asheville, N.C. They
provided some special music
on Monday. Also, the State
Convention will continue
through Wednesday.
Our building plans are
progressing very well. For a

badly, especially in our class
rooms.
On Nov. 21, our missionary,
Ronald Locklear will show
slides of Africa, about his
work and ministry.

Please remember all these
fnd many more who are
confined to their homes due to
illness.
This year at the Appre
ciation Night Banquet 1 re
ceived a diploma and gold
badge for a perfect attendan
ce in church every Sunday for
the past year. Something 1
don't recall since my early
years, although being reared
in a home, was if you didn't
go to church you had to be
very sick. Thank God for such
wonderful and strict parents.
Today, 1 can truly say I enjoy
ehurch more than ever. And
really could enjoy it more if 1
had good health. So here is
ten rules 1 want to pass on to
you about going to church.
1. Go regularly to church. A
prescription is not effective if
you take it only one day a
year.
2. Think of church going as
a skill governed by definite
rules.
3. Get in condition for
Sunday. If you don't have a
prepared lesson at least make
a try. Have a quiet Saturday
evening and try to get a good
night's sleep.
4. Don't rush to church. Go
in a relaxed state of body and
mind. Go in a leisurely
manner. The absence of ten
sion is a requisite for success
ful worship.
5. Go with the expectation
of enjoyment. Church is not a
gloomy place. Christianity is a
radiant and happy way of
living.
6. Sit relaxed in the pew.
Let your body yield to the
contour of the pew. Don't sit
rididly. God's power cannot
reach your presonality
through a tied up body and
mind. Let's put to practice
more reverence in God's
House.
7. Go expecting to get your
problem solved in church.
Think hard during the week,
but let the problems "sim
mer" in your mind on Sun
day.
8. In church practice eli
minating all ill will. To cast
out ill will, pray for those
against whom you feel re
sentful.
9. Practice the art of
meditation. Think of some
beautiful and peaceful scene.
Think about God. This will
tend to bring you peace and
refreshment.
10. Go to church expecting
some great and exciting
things to happen to you.
Every Sunday some people's
lives become thrillingly dif
ferent. One thing 1 enjoy
mostly is our pastor's ser
mons. He never repeats a
message, although a lot of
them are far from my com
prehension. True, a dynamic
minister helps, but no one
else can perform the act of
worship for us.
Deepest Sympathy
Our deepest sympathy goes
out to the wife and children,
and the parents (Mrs. Annie
Ronie and Rev. Harvey Lewis
Locklear) and all the family
ties, in the loss of their lovefl
one, Mr. Roger Locklear who
departed this life on No
vember 8th at his home. May
they put their trust in our
Savior. For His promise is "1
will never leave thee nor
forsake thee."
