Dr. Purnell Bailey Writes
Of Atlantic Oceans Spell
The Rev. A. Purnell Bailey, who
recently conducted a scries of ser
vices in the First Methodist
Church, Morehead City, writes a
column for the Daily Press of New
port News, Va.
The Rev. J. F. Herbert, pastor
of the First Methodist Church, has
suggested that a recent column,
by Ruth and Purnell Bailey, be
reprinted here because it deals
with Morehead City.
The Rev. Mr. Herbert says,
"Doctor Bailey made a great im
pression on our church and we
are planning to have him back be
fore long."
The column, titled God's Great
Ocean, follows:
This week as we write this
column, it is being pondered in a
lovely motel near the Atlantic
Ocean at Morehead City, N. C.
Bud Dixon, the owner of the mo
tel and a fine layman in the First
Methodist Church, has just taken
me to some of the most beautiful
places in this area. Is there any
beauty that excels the beautiful
blue of the Atlantic?
This has been one of the most
demanding periods of my ministry
?the last six months ? and just to
get here and sit quietly and see
the beautful ocean is relaxation in
itself.
last six months I have
"listened to the problems of "more
people than ever before in my min
istry. People I wanted to help
People that needed help. And I
had forgotten that regardless of
how much we want to help people,
we need also to relax and rest in
order to help them most.
This week of services in which
I am speaking here at Morehead
City gave just such an opportunity
for rest. Today, I had a wonder
ful game of golf with the physi
cian in the church. Dr. Sam
Hatcher, and Bud Dixon.
The name of the physician struck
me especially, since it was the
name of one of my finest friends
I ever had, Dr. Sam Hatcher, the
vice-president of Randolph-Macon
College. What memories the name
brought back to me!
Dr. Hatcher of Randolph-Macon
met me when I was .only 17 years
of age at a church at Onancock.
Va. I told him that I wanted to
come to Randolph-Macon College
and study for the ministry. How
much money do you have? he
asked. I told him I had nothing
My father had been an invalid,
and it took .all the family re
sources to keep the family of four
children going.
"Get a job," he said, "and come
to Randolph-Macon in September,
and bring all you can save. I will
see you through college."
I took him at his word, and Pr.
Sam Hatcher of Randolph-Macon
saw me through college. I paid
the last of the loans back only
three years ago. But he saw me
through! No wonder that the name
Sam Hatcher took me back over
the years? with warm and cher
ished memories.
One of the things that has im
pressed me most about Mare head
City ia the loyalty of the laymen
in the church and their love for it.
What an inspiration to see this in
First Church! It has warmed my
heart, and given me courage, as
it haa the wonderful pastor hlere,
the Rev. J. F. Herbert, and his
lovely wife.
Three Iowa Teachers Win
Summer Trips to Europe
Newton, low* (AP)? Three grade
school teachers in Newton will go
to Europe next summer on grants
provided by a firm manufacturing
household appliances.
The travel acholarships amount
to (400 and were established to
reward extra effort and make
teaching school in Newton more
attractive.
UmpecM Support
Cleveland (AP) ? Children who
fear the school year may be ex
tended to a year-round operation
to meet classroom and teacher
shortages have an ally? thf teach
ers. A poll at a fecent school offi
cial' convention revealed teachers
look forward to a three-month
summer vacation as eagerly as
tbeir pupils.
Out of this wonderful week of
rest I shall take back to Richmond
some choice humor. The mayor
of the city, Pat Dill, a layman in
First Church, is a gentleman of
charming conversation and good
humor. Last night after the church
service I spent about two hours
with him and a group of laymen
in the church, and I don't think
I have laughed so much in two
hours in years. What# a wonderful
thing to hear such laughter from
a group of men!
But this beautiful ocean! I have
fond memories of the ocean from
having been raised near it on the
Eastern Shore of Virginia, but I
must confess that the view here
at Morehead City is one of the
most beautiful sights I have ever
seen.
After this wonderful week among
a wonderful people, I believe I
shall remember most of all the
beauty of the expanse of the At
lantic?God's great ocean!

To Make One Decision
Tulsa. Okla <AP>? US Dislrict

plied.

Automobile Break-Down
Leads to Big Discovery
New Brunswick, N. J. (AP)? A
car's break-down led to the dis
covery of neomycin, one of the
newest antibiotics.
Dr. Herbert Lechevalier, an as
sociate of Nobel prize winner Dr.
Selman A. Waksman, was driving
past a manure -covered barnyard
at the Rutgers University College
of Agriculture when his car broke
down.
While waiting for repairs, Le
chevalier collected a soil sample.
It was processed and neomycin re
sulted.
The drug is used to treat diar
rhea in infants, in skin and eye
ointments, and as an antiseptic
preparation for bowel surgery.
As no man is born an artist, so
no man is born an angler, said
lzaak Walton.
Judge Fine* Sisters
Who Couldn't Got Along
Appleton, Wii. (AP>? Municipal

clapped in jail if their clamor con
tinued.
