Devotional Thoughts Warping Dept Reports Aubrey Frye was among the throngs of people who witnessed the arrival of President Truman by airplane at Cherry Point this month when he was en route to New Bern to visit. Mr. and Mrs. Herman Allen and son recently spent the weekend in Durham visiting Mrs- Allen’s brother and his family. They at tended worship services in the Duke Chapel on the Sunday they were there. Herman said that this was 'most inspiring’ Habakkuk 2:1-1 Watchfulness is the necessity against danger. It is the nature of the animal, the characteristic of the mother and the obligation of the Christian. No life is secure, or vital interest protected where the tendency to watch is absent. To watch, whether it be the tides of the ocean or the moving throngs of humanity, is an ex ercise and privilege which more than compensate for time given and energy spent. Someone has said: “Long looking multiplies the stars.” In the Christian realm the word watch fills a large place in our vocabulary. The old prophets were men who watched. They were like their brother, Habbakuk, The shepherds and the wise men from the East had imbibed their spirit, and when the Christ was born the shepherds were the first to hear the angelic proclamation. The wise men were first to visit the manger, the cradle of the Saviour of the world. Jesus called upon his followers to watch. “What I say unto you, I say unto all, watch.” Christians have been watching from that time until now for the return of our Lord to this world. As the Christ mas season draws near again we should voice the spirit of the pro phet, when he said, “I will stand upon my watch.’’ We should be guided by the spirit of watchfulness over our own moral and spiritual interests. The Christmas occasion calls for up-grade movements, and our own efforts will do for us some things that others can never do. One day a little boy saw^ a lady in a moving YMGA Memberships Sidney Blumenthal and Co., Inc. realizing the importance of the Y. M. C. A. to our community and our youth, again subscribed to ten Y. M. C. A. memberships dur ing the recent drives held in Rocky Mount- ' " A letter has been received from J. A. Harper, General Secretary of the Rocky Mount Y. M. C. A., thanking the Company for their ■ interest and support and listing the names of boys to whom the memberships were assigned. Herman Atkins, Jr., Marvin Braswell, Billy Evans, J. D.

As we approach the year’s end and Christmas, all of us need to watch our step. The words of that little boy suggest a second responsibi lity in watching. Others profit by our watching, God makes us our brothers’ keepers- “No man liveth unto himself.” There is an inspiration that comes from watching. Bruce of Scotland had fought and lost six battles. As he reclined in his tent and brooded over his defeats, a spider holding by its silken web, climbed toward the ceiling. Six times the spider made the effort and fell to the floor, the seventh effort was successful. Bruce was moved to try again and the sev enth battle culminated in his great est triumph. In every realm of human exper ience, inspiration comes as we stand upon our watch. It is great to he a sentinel, whether we stand alone or with the crow'd. Rev. /. W. Kincheloe, Pastor First Baptist Church Rocky Mount, N. C. SPmi/e A SMILE costs nothing, but gives much. It enriches those who receive, without making poorer those who give. It takes but a moment, hut the memory of it sometimes lasts forever. None is so rich or mighty that he can get along without it, and none so poor but that he can be made rich by it. A SMILE creates happiness in the home, fosters good will in business, and is the countersign of friendship. It brings rest to the weary, cheer to the discouraged, sunshine to the sad, and it is na ture’s best antidote for trouble. Yet it eannot be bought, begged, borrowed or stolen, for it is given away. Some people are too tired to give you a smile. Give them one of yours, as none needs a smile so much as he who has no more to give.
