Cullom Those who have heard me preach regularly for length of tmie will recognize at once in my heading one of the main threads of my regular teaching. The last of the direct commissions of our Lord to his Aposties (Acts 1:8) bids thern to be “witnesses” in ■ their own community and to the ' ends of the earth. If this does not say explicitly that each Christian should incarnate in himseif, and express in his daily routine the spirit and purpose of God as these are revealed in Christ, what does it say? Another way of saying this is to say that any-and all worthy service render ed to a fellow man in the spirit of esus is as truly carrying out the purpose of God as if it were di rected and backed by all the mis sion boards. I have been told that a woman in eastern North Carolina many years ago was .going to the foreign field as a missionary. Some one inquired as to whether she had been ordained. ‘‘No,” said she, “but I have been fore ordained.” What we speak of as “the great commission” (Matt. 28:19-20) is not far from where our Lord speaks of peole as being judged at last by the way they have treated those right by their side who were in need (Matt. 25:_ 31-46). Dr. John A. Broadus used to tell his classes of a yo-ung woman who made application to her Foreign Mission Board to be sent to China. When she came before the Board to be examined, someone asked her as to what she had been doing in her home community.” “Oh,” said she, “I’m so deeply concerned for the poor heathen that I can’t give much attention to those in our neighbor hood at home.” All will under stand when I say that the vote on her application was wholly nega tive. Rolesville News Mrs. R. S. Williams is improving from an attack of flu. Mrs. Spruill Puully and Mr. L. F. Weathers have returned from Hot Springs, Ark. They are both much improved. Mr. and Mrs. Leon Lentz, Martha and Sarah of Winston- Salem spent the weekend with Mrs. Ren Williams. The funeral services for Mr. R. S. Williams was held at the Church Monday at 11 o’clock. A. M. Mr. Williams, who spent his entire life in Rolesville, wil Ibe greatly missed by every one. Mr. Foster Jones, who has been sick with flu, is improving. The B. T. U. held its study course at the Church Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday nights of this week. When I entered Wake Forest as a student in 1886 I went to board with a good woman who had come from Warren county. This woman had a beautiful young daughter who was about ten years of age the time. A year or two after wards this woman moved back to her old home in Warren county, the daughter grew into young womanhood, felt the urge within her to go to China, Our Foreign Mission Board in Richmond sent her to China as a missionary. No missionary, ever applied hereself more faithfully to her task than did this young woman. A break down in health made it necessary for her to return to America. For a good many years now she has been a patient in our State Has- pltal at Raleigh. For sometime she has been thoroughly normal. I go to see her as often as I can make it practicable to do so. One day I went to the “hill” and found my self at the wrong building. One of the attendants very kindly piloted me to the right place. As we walk ed across the lawn this woman (Continued On Pave Six) CHRISTIAN Wm. S. Allen New Weekly PuMishei^ Print Shop To Be Installed Here Wake lorest btarts Campaign James Anderson of Wake Forest has Deen announced as ‘’Major” in command of the Wake f^'oreso area in the Wake County Chap ter, American Red Cross iPund Campaign, according to Karl Huason, Jr., County “Colonel.” The county-wide campaign was “Kicked Off” at the Woman’s Club i n Raleigh on Tuesday, March 18, with a second report meetmg on Friday, March 21. To date the campaign has reaches 26.7 per cent of its goal of $59.- 800. •••rhe areas outside of Raleigh are responding to the “Call” this year better than ever before,” Moileman stated, “because they nave been made more aware than ever before of the broad county services of their Chapter. Our citizens are being made aware of the county Nursing Service of Red Cross, the classes in Simple Care of the Sick and Mother and Baby Care that are being conducted in our county schools. The Life Saving and Swimming Instruc tion given oy Red Cross through out our county has, no doubt, saved many lives in Wake County aione. ‘ihe Blood for Defense pro_ gram in Wake County and the countless services that are going on For Wake County servicemen and their families, every week in the year, make us realize how valuable and necessary our Wake County Red Cross is right here at home as well as over the nation and world.” According to Anderson, one of every four people in the United States is a member of Red Cross. "We expect to better the national average right here in the Apex area, he stated. “We can do this and we will do this, if every neigh bor will do even a small bit toward helping his neighbor through our Wake County Red Cross. We can not know all the needs, personal ly. But through our membership in Reu Cross we can help neighbors in need. “We are asking that everyone in the Wake Forest area take part in this great service and when your Red Cross workers calls on you, ‘'Answer the Call” willingly and cheerfully to the fullest extent possible. In that way we can keep the arm of your Red Cross strong, not only overseas but right here in Wake County.” Young People To Go Overseas At least three yoimg North Carolinians will go abroad in 1952 as “grass roots ambassa dors” under the International Farm Youth Exchange program, according to L. R. iiarrin, otafe 4-H Club leader for the StR.„ College Extension Service. Young people from 20 to 28 years of age who are interested in making one of the trips should apply to the local county farm agent or home demonstration agent, or write Harrill at State College. On a national scale, a grant of up to $150,000 has been made by the Ford Foundation to the Na- continue and expand the Inter national Farm Youth Exchange project this year. No government funds are used in financing the program, which tional 4-H Club Foundation to is dedicated to the belief that understanding is the foundation of world peace. The IFYE program seeks to further international imderstand- ing among rural people. Delegates from farms in this country live and work with farm families in ether countries for four to six months. At the same time, rural youth from cooperating countries come here for similar experience. Last year, 75 American young men and women visited 29 foreign countries, while 45 ex changes from abroad came to the United States. With the assistance of the Ford grant, this year’s program will be expanded to 135 two-way exchange with s<Hne 40 countries in Europe, the Near and Far East, Latin America, the South Pacific, Asia, and Africa. Sue Nichols, 20 Wake County 4-H Club girl, is now in Australia under the IFYE program. 1 William S.
