Dudley Speaker
At L&M Meeting
The Rev. Mr. David Dudley,
pastor of St. Paul's Lutheran
Church, Ridgeway. was guest
speaker at the Norlina
Literature and Music Club s
annual spring luncheon meeting
held at Bluemire LaMar House,
Oine, the home of Mr. and Mrs.
Martin Hayes.
Mr. Dudley spoke on "Faith
of our Fathers." He stated that
we assume that the founders of
our nation were all othodo*
Christians, when, in fact, many
were Deists—believers in a
system of faith that postulates
a unitarian God, the rewards
and punishments in the next
world based on our deeds in
this world, this belief being
different from classic Christianity.
Mr. Dudley stated that this
Deistic faith led them to write
into our Constitution separa
tion of Church and state, and
freedom of worship, that
wherever church and state are
separated, people create a civic
religion. He further states that
our American civic religion
comes complete with its own
God—patriarchs, martyrs, tern
pies and scriptures. Then he
posed this question: Will this
civic faith of America be
enough to sustain us as we face
our future, or do we need to
return to the Christian God
who has revealed himself in
Jesus Christ?
The LaMar house was
beautifully decorated with
gourds, plants and hanging
baskets of spring flowers. A
red. white and blue motif was
used throughout the house in
keeping with the Bicentennial
theme of the luncheon meeting.
Some of the ladies were attired
in dresses of the 18th century.
Seventeen members and
eighteen guests were greeted
by Mrs. Hayes, president.
Thanks for the bountiful meal
was led by the Rev. Mr. Robert
Warren, pastor of Zion and
Jerusalem Methodist Churches.
During the luncheon Mrs.
Panthea Twitty of Warrenton,
President of Warren County
Historical Association, urged
each member to consider joining
the Historical Association.
After the luncheon, the
members gathered for a short
business session. Several motions
were passed: one,
instructing the Library Committee
to purchase an item or
items for use in the new Norlina i
Library, which is now in the I
process of being developed; i
also a motion to draw a I
resolution of appreciation to be
presented to the family of the <
late Mrs. Sterling Norman ]
Hawks who was one of the first i
members of the club, and that a <
book be presented to the I
Norlina Library in her memory. ]
The next meeting of the club
will be in September. 1
