X VILLAGE CHURCH ■ ■ By Miss Carrie Lee Weaver . ■. (Read Psalm:100) As the Thanksgiving season draws near, are •we mindful of the many, many blessings which God bestows upon us? May I mention one of the things for which we are thankful, "The Village Church",• Jfe prove the degree of our thankfulness by the interest we show in its work^ We are glad that so many of you come to wor ship with us when you are home on furlough or for the week-end. You are always welcome^ At Sunday School, we are continuing our study of the Ten Comandments, Vie have already taken up the study of: True spirit in worshiping God, The sanctity of human life, The sanctity of the home — Now, as we continue, v/e shall study the sanctity of property. The attendance is up alri^t but not up to what it ought to be. The worship service attendance could be better also,. Perhaps you can help to malje it better — if not v/ith your presence, then with yoiir prayers,. Rev, Clay and his family have moved away to Greensboro since our last writing; :\nd Rev, Isley and his Mother have come to take up and carry on the work. They, as the others, shall need the help, snd cooperation of the people,.. May God open our hearts , and minds that the yjork for the advancement of His kin£;^dom may increase here in our community as v^e vjork together, ' ^ The village, the Village Church, and the homes here have been saddened twice just recently, Tv;o good women; Mrs, W, M, Smawley and Mrs,. Nan Caldwell, have slipped out into the beyond. Of both, it can be said,*- They were loyal to their homes and families their church, and their God. \Vliat beautiful lives. Our heart goes out to those homes they are lonely, of course; but God has promised to comfort, to strengthen, and help us, .

V/e think of men who through their military genius conquer ril’d capture. cities one p,fter another,* .as being great men, and truly they are, but the greatest men, who. have ever lived, had first to be conquerors of themselves, for the iTjan that can rule himself whe.n tempted with ^VHISKEY - GAMBLING - PROFANITY - PROSTIT UTION - and various other temptations that confront him in this fight is truly a great man, and the courage and grace that he is blessed- vjith, will make him a blessed and beautiful character, . ' ' Jesus proved himself to be master of the human side of life as well as theDevil’s side. In the wilderness when he battled vjith the Devil, the first attack was by way of his appetite, our Lord was hungry - the desire for food was innocent, but he refused tp take the Devils way of gratif;^dng thi s natural desire.
