Friday, January 25, 1963 NORTH CAROLINA STATE HOUSE—The new State House in Raleigh North Carolina, will be open to visitors after the 1963 General Assem- bly convenes on February 6. The first building ever constructed by any state for exclusive use of its Legislature was designed by Edward Dur- rell Stone of New York. MIRROR MEDITATION By EMMITT L. BRINSON Somehow I can’t bring my self to criticize, or find fault with any one who reaches out to find solace in any religious belief, nor can I find any stones to throw. I see prayers being answered in all walks of life-- all races, all creeds and in all places. So God must be there too. Don't Settle for Less than the Best.

CHADWICK GENERAL INSURANCE Clark Building Telephones Office ME 7-3144—Home ME 7-3433 In my father’s house are many mansions? Many years ago these things were puzzling to me for I wondered how he could be in all places at once. But no more, for truly the Spirit of God is everywhere, in all things. We are bathed or submerged within his spirit at all times regardless of how intellectual we may be, or how developed we may become in mind or body, or in what level of degradation. The answer to all problems, to all prayers lies within the design, the flow, the law and order of Creation. All one needs do is tap its source in sin cerity and humility. Mankind has advanced in knowledge to where he can look into and upon the smallest most minute particle of life, going about its predeternined duties. He sees the guided cells, the enzymes, the atoms, the DNA’s at work, wondering form whence came the source of energy. This guided energy is present in all mater, life and inert. This energy is something man can not see yet he knows it is there and it has an infinite intelligence beyond his greatest imagination. This surely is the Spirit of God! 1 am convinced we operate as a separate entity within this universal law of mind since we are the only form of life which thinks, speaks and are aware of our presence within this vast scheme of things. This places man on a plane next to God. We are at a higher level within this law and order. The essence of his creation. That which does not think for itself stays within the constant flow-- yet within it all, is beauty and good. All of Creation is Good and must have been an expression of a tremendous love of the highest order within the Soul of God. Why is it that man accepts his discoveries of power in materialism, yet rejects thepo- tential power of the spirit be hind all this material? Every thing material that man has learned to use since the be ginning of time must follow the basic laws of creation. Laws that operate auto matically, mechanically, mathe matically and with absolute cer tainty. We accept and use all these laws daily without question or a second thought, or being a- ware of the laws under which it operates. We are aware, however, in most cases that we can put it to use for our convenience. Think for a minute of the countless number you use daily. Did you ever think of what makes them work? My friends, the Spirit and Power of God is with you and within you at all times. You are a part of it, living or dead, yet while living a part of Him is with you to use just as you may use the material things. Why do we question this? It is your mind, your thoughts and if we want to know what our relationship is to the source of all life, we should consciously use the simple intelligence in using this Spirit as we sub consciously do, in accepting and using the material. 1 believe these spiritual laws are operating in an impersonal manner, anywhere, anytime-- If—and the answer must be-- “if”-- you attune yourself to this spiritual law. “As thou has believed, so be it done into thee’’. “As a per son thinketh, so is he’’. It will operate for every one who be lieves. Upon your belief, and mine. Behind this principle is the Divine intelligence, the de- vine presence, the infinite per son, the infinite Spirit of Al mighty God. So when we stand in the pre sence of this power sincerely bared in the pureness of mind (Continued to Page 5) Generator-Starter and Regulator Rebuilding and Repairs Exide Batteries SANDLIN BATTERY & VULCANIZING CO. 125 Craven Street >ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo List Your 1963 Craven County Taxes Before The January 31st Deadline, and Avoid Paying The Penalty For Late Listing PAUL L.
