PAGE 8 IFfiCHi A department conducted for g The Warren County 8 Memorial Library g LBy MABEL DAVis gi The Librarian H Loyalty A nice compliment was paid to our library and incidentally to his native county last Sunday afternoon by a citizen of Louisburg who, with other friends from Louisburg, came to enjoy the organ recital at the Episcopal Church, When I extended my hand in greeting he slipped $5 00 into it?"For your library," he said. That highly appreciated compliment was paid the library by Dr. D. T. Smithwick, prominent dentist of Louisburg, and County Historian of Franklin County. Last week, in company with another boy scout whose name I do not recall, Robert Smithwick, fourteen, grandson of Dr. Smithwick, rode his wheel to Warrenton, visiting the library during his short stay- As his Scout Master required some testimonial that the scouts really reached their destination, 1 v>oh i-hA nieasure of writing that testimony. Aiter a brief rest and a visit to a soda shop they set out again on their return to Louisburg. Does It Pay? Friends often ask if we think our bookmobile pays. If by that question they mean does it contribute to our bank account, I must admit it does not add a penny. We did not undertake the service with that motive. We had one purpose in mind?to enlarge the library's sphere of usefulness, to be of greater service to the people of the county?when we fitted up our bookmobile. That is still our purpose During its four days operation the first week of January it supplied 576 books to people out of >- -rf -I? This WPek. its I reaun u.i mc uwiaij. , ? second run of the month, it will go above that number. I think about 85 per cent of the books are borrowed by students of the high schools of the county. The principals of these schools seem to appreciate the service and cooperate with Mrs. Gay, the librarian, .n her efforts to have all books returned promptly. Two schools? | Afton-Elberon and Drewry?have the enviable distinction of never having failed to have all books in place when the bookmobile arrived. If a pupil at the Norlina High School forgets his book, Mr. Cowles sees that it is in place before the bookmobile returns. We have had a bit of trouble with a few borrow- ! ers at some of the other schools ' who haven't become accustomed to library regulations, but we are finding that the principals auu teachers are cooperating with us,! and we do not anticipate losing any books. Memorial Volume Received We are indebted to Mr. and Mrs. Edmund White for a copy of "The Arts," Van Loon's popular new book. A book designed, he says, to give the reader a greater appreciation and better understanding of all that has been done in the realm of painting, architecture, music, scripture, etc., from the beginning cf time until the present. It is a fine book and one that we have wanted since its publication in the fall. | This book was selected as 8, fitting tribute to the memory of Miss Ethel Allen. i Vf*.

Long, formerly of Weldon, who replaced the Rev. O. I. Hinson as Methodist minister on the Warrenton Charge. Sin Subject Of Talk By Long Al: Prayer Meeting Following is a talk which was recently made by the Rev. J. O. Long, Methodist minister of Warrenton, at a mid-week Frayer service: "Due to religious training through the centuries, a very strong public opinion, or feeling, has grown up against "sin," or committing a sinTo say regarding a certain act of a person, 'That is a sin,' is just about as severe a rebuke as needs to be administered. The big question which we often face, however, is whether or not a certain thing is a sin. Is it a sin to do this or that or the other? "There are two aspects of the approach to the question of sin?negative and positive. The negative aspect is the one most generally considered. We begin to think in terms of the 'don'ts' in life when we think of sin. We must refrain from this thing and the other to avoid this very detrimental thing. Webster says that sin is 'Transgressing of the laws of God.' But there is a positive side to the question One might refrain from ccm nutting any ui uicac uwi w, might sit down and do absolutely nothing and still be guilty oi a very great sin. What is sin? "The Boy's Question and Father's Answer "A father was out in the woods with his young son one day when suddenly the boy asked him this question: 'Father, what is sin?' The father did not answer right away. He asked the boy to excuse him from answering just then, but said, 'My boy, we will come out to this same beautiful spot tomorrow at this same hour, and then I will answer your question.' "The father relates that never in his life had he taken so much time and trouble to answer a question. Early the next morning he went into the city and purchased a whole outfit of archery?a f:ne large target with rings, a sheaf of arrows and a bow. Then an hour before the appointed time he went to the little pine grove, set up the arget and arranged the bows and arrows. When all was ready he went tor nis eoii, as ut uau i?wised. "When the boy saw the target he ?$ iur Meat n Ounce of Prevention Is 2" is certainly true when e necessary preparations it. :r compound o 700 lbs. meat 50c V ;o 700 lbs. meat? $1.00 15c quid smoke s. meat 35c bs. meat- __$1.00 lbs. meat _$1.50 '' SHDWE.CO. ^RE?WE HAVE IT iton, N. C. arolina "J" began to ask a lot of questions: Where did it come from?' 'How much did it cost?' and so on- But ihe father said: "Never mind where [ got it; let us have some shots at it. But, he added, 'there is one thing I want you to do for me before we begin. I want you to learn one word. It is a queer Greek word. I want you to learn how to pronounce it and to know its mean, ing. While ypu are shooting I will, be the marker, the score-keeper, and I will call out the score. In old Greece, when they played this game, the marker had a word that! he shouted out every time the ar-1 row missed the target. We will use the word just as the Greeks didThe word is 'Hamartai.'' "The boy pronounced the word half a dozen times and was impatient to begin. The father let him shoot first. Every time he missed the. target the father shouted at the top of his voice, 'Hamartai! Hamartai!' When the game was over they sat down on a log and the father explained. 'My son,' said the father, 'you asked me yes- j terday what sin was. Do you re member?' 'Yes, father.' Well, Ij have just given you the answer.1 Sin is missing the mark!' "The Mark for the Christian i "But what is the 'Mark' which, if missed by the Christian, envolves him in sin? Paul throws considerable light on this question. He said, "This one thing I do; I press toward the mark.' Now what is the mark, the missing of which is sin? It is the 'high calling of God in Christ Jesus.' The mark is the high, clean, noble, Christian life which Jesus showed us how to live. It is a life conformed to the will of God. Whenever, or wherever, we fail to comply with this standard, we miss the mark, and, consequently sin, not only by doing bad, questionable deeds but by doing nothing or failing to do good. "As pastors, stewards, members ot the choir, members of the church, followers of Christ, are we missing the mark? Are we living up to the standard of requirements in our various offices? Are we harmoniously and effectively fitting into this great new life as set forth by Jesus? This is our privilege and duty. Failure at any point is sin. "Cause of Missing the Mark" "Many of the misses in target practice is due to aiming too low. In shooting the bow and arrow, one must learn just how high above the target to aim, this depending upon the distance. In rifle shooting, this has been worked out scientifically. There is a rear sight adjustment which regulates the elevation and drops the bullet at the point of aim. One must aim high when g Dr. Rufus S.
