March is a month of many memories and anniversaries, for Americans. March 2nd is the anniversary of Texas Independ ence Day, March 3rd is the an Promotes Business Patrick's Day...; which falls on March 17: Grover . Cleveland's birthday anniversary, which , is I observed on March ., 18, .1837 (ini Caldwell, New Jersey); and Wil- j liam James Brian was born at Salem, Illinois, March 19, 1860. In addition, Patrick Henry made his famous speech in favor of the militia ? for Virginia on March 23, 1775. Maryland Day is observed on - March 25, and John Tyler, tenth president ofj the United States, , was born at. We address ourselves to the business men of , Perquimans County and the purpose of our remarks is to direct their atten-t t ion to education as the greatest promoter: of business that exists in the world today. We have been - conscious of , some business men, when they , pay their taxes, complaining of . the cost of; education.. Actually,! ' they are now, reaping the bene- ' fits of money expended in the past in. -this county and else-' where.- for the purpose of edu- j eating boy? and girls.,'. .. Ji.j We :.- have no figures available for . the present but, . if one re flects, we ;are satisfied he will be convinced that the greater the, ' average educational level in any . area, the greater the economic . activity. Ignorant people do not i have the desire to purchase any ,; thing more than the rudiment ary, necessities of life. Educat ed people, on' the other hand, with varied; interests, buy the products of modern industry. We call attention to this mat ter because business - men, in . their quest to lower expenses, ! should' not begrudge , the taxes - that they pay to support . our nivdrsary of ' the 'i birthday , of , Greenway, Lnanes uny. ipuniy, Alexander Graham s Bell, who j Virginia, on March 29, 1790, Few was Wn' in Erfinhurgh.

' 1 I-hp-" the igicATie: CQfJtirJuts Lesson Text:- Mark 5:18-20; Luke' 10:1-2: Acts S:42; ' I Thesaalonians 1:6-10. The lesson for this week stress es the importance of evangelism and should lead adults to witness for Christ. - . In the lessons for the preceding two weeks we have noted that a united Christendom speaks ' with greater authority than do churoh es rent by divisions. We have i so seen that the church is busy in the world proclaiming the jus tice and the love of God;. , Chris tian unity and social participa tion are both instruments oi evangelism. How can we further evangelism in our own communi ty? ' - The first and obvious answer that comes to our minds is: By living a Christian " life . .::,by practicing what we preach. A church is always of greater sig nificance than its own size. Ken neth Pope once said that if a church adequately ministers to its own membership, both, its spirit and its program will inevitably influence those outside its formal life. 1 This outside influence springs both from its program of evangelism and from its other ac tivities that involve it in the com munity. 1 ' ' Let 'us, study ;the first of; the texts chosen, for : this.' lesson Mark 5:18-20'.'-. .-. the 'man who had been possessed with1 demons beerced him that he might e with him: , But he refused an4-,saidj to htnvuo nome io yuurvuwfUB, and teU them how much the Lord has ione for you, and how he hM hacf ffiercy on you.' And He went away and began to proclaim . and all men marveled." ' J Jesus always suited his method of teaching or healing to ,ine needs of the individual or group with whom, he was-dealing, andj usually admonished them to tell - Lno one of what had been done for,. them. In the incident quoted,1 however, he reversed this'pattern'; and, instead, dsked the healedi man to go home and tell his ' friends about his good fortune. . Jesus, in bther words, was point ing out the fact that those who witness for him do not necessari ly have to travel abroad, but cart find fertile ground for soreading the pospel right where thev live. As Christians, we should conT stantly" bear this in mind, and be guided by it in our daily contacts wnn anose in our own communi ty, churched or un-churched. A constant example of Christianity in our everyday life will inevi tably bring respect and admira tion from the man who does not WOftKS LIKE V FREE ENGINE JUNE-UP jihEsiifiMi mm tec TOP MILEAGE PER POULAK - tit en''' rrsi.n NEW HIGHER OCTANE...

The seed ha? . been planted, and from this point I onward it is simply a matter of little care and attention; to bring it to fruition. - In studying our second text for today, (Luke 10:1-2 and the fine ' from ' which our Memory Selec- j tion is made) we find Jesus send ing seventv men ahead' of him. . to spread the word of the gosnnL and to tell of. his rominsr.' This is the second step in eyaneelism on home ground; the territory is graduajly being ' wideped,, ajjd new "ground is being1 soueht for the sowing of the seeds of Cbsisr tianitv. .
