THpTwEEK’S BIBLE THOUGHT
BE SURE YOU ARE RIGHT: The wicked is snared
by the transgression of his lips; but the just shall come
out of trouble.—-<Prov. 12:13. nr
Who’s To Blame?
The writer happened on Sunday to hear a few remarks
relating to lack of church attendance and a few reasons
why some people do not go to church or other religious
meetings. This condition does not only exist in the
Edenton Methodist Church, but is rather prevalent in
most churches, or at least all to which the writer has be
longed over a span of almost half a century.
There are some people who will not go to church be
cause they do not like the preacher. Then there are
some who would rather remain home if they canont have
their own way in church affairs. Others have no desire
to go to church, Church School or meetings of various
religious organizations because they have a dislike for
the teacher or some member.
Os course, in some cases the church, Church School or
other organizations might miss a particular individual,
but there is not a single person in Edenton who is so big
or whose withdrawal of financial support halt the work
of the Almighty,
As the writer sees it, if any person who goes to church
principally because he likes the preacher and fails to go
if he doesn’t like the preacher, his religion is mighty
shallow. It is God who should be worshipped and not a
preacher, Sunday School teacher or member of a church
or other organization of the church.
When a condition exists it most likely is something
wrong with the individual and not the preacher or any
one else who is the object of an excuse for not taking
part in the work of the Almighty. Man is too insignifi
cant a creature to think he can stop the work of the
church. It has been tried and has failed. It will con
tinue to fail.
An Unfortunate Affair
That a fight developed at the Edenton-Tarboro football
game last Friday night is to be regretted. Football,
among other things should develop sportsmanship and
self control among the boys. While The Herald was un
able to learn the cause of the fight, it is hoped that it
will be the last.
In a football game a boy must take some pretty hard
knocks, just as he will when he starts out on life’s path
way after his school days are a thing of the past. He
will receive some knocks which may appear unfair just
as in a football game, but the training received on a foot
ball field should the better equip him to meet them
squarely. Which brings to mind a statement of the late
Teddy Roosevelt, “Don’t flinch, don’t foul, but hit the
line hard.”

Heard & Seen
By “Buff”
, ...
To be frank about it, I cannot rememl4r how long I
have been writing this column, but I do remember chat
the first time it appeared in the Edenton Daily News,
Miss Elizabeth Wozelka “jumped” all over me. I had
something to say about an unsightly billboard on Broad
Street which stood on the Wozelka property beside the
house where Mr. and Mrs. R. F. Tuttle lived. The house
and billboard stood just about where the Colonial store
now stands. Since, I have been complimented as well as .
cursed about the column, but it was only thia week that
I had ever been asked to change its. name. Fenton Lar- ‘
son, who not only reads this column, but the rest of the (
paper, said I should change the name to “Buff’s Stuff”
instead of Heard and Seen. Well, its been running under
the same name so long, I hardly think I’ll change. j

Here’s hoping the weather man is kind and gives us <
good \yeather next Monday night, for that’s kid’s night
in Edenton. And incidentally, plenty of people who wish '
they were as young as the kids will have almost as good '
a time as the kids themselves. Thanks to the Junior Wo
man’s Club, the annual Halloween Party will be held on .
Hicks Field, and thanks to the interest, effort and inge- ■
nuity of Izzy Campen the stage will be set for an honest
to-goodness party. Izzy did a swell job last year and can
be counted upon to do his part- again this year. He
ought to get a hot dog, bag of popcorn and even some i
peanuts for the work he has done.
o
I’m glad Ernest Kehayes is a good shot, for the other
day he went squirrel hunting and, together with Willard
Rhoades, had pretty good luck. They shot enough squir- ■
rels for Ernest to cook a squirrel supper for five fellows, j
I’ve eaten quite a few squirrels but if I ever shoot any
more I’m going to ask Ernest to cook the things, for at
his supper I ate the best squirrels I ever tasted. As this
is written Kehayes and Rhoades are trying to kill a deer.
Here’s hoping they got one, for I never ate venison and
would like to see what kind of a job Ernest can make of
cooking same.
o
I just don’t understand Philip McMullan. I traded cars
the first part of the week and the first time Philip saw
it, he wanted to know if a town election was soon coming
up. Nope, the next town election will be held in 1951,
but what the dickens has a new car got to do with elect
ions ? With the salary a Town Councilman gets for his
services he would have to save every penney of it for
just about 40 years before he’d have enough to buy a new
automobile. Who’s the guy who wants’ to be a Town
Councilman for that length of time?
o
Attention is called to a story in this issue regarding
mailing Christmas cards or greeting cards. Uncle Sam
has boosted the price of unsealed Christmas cards from
IV2 cents to two cents. Greeting cards that are sealed
will require the first class postage rate of three cents
per ounce or fraction thereof. Better put the proper
amount of postage on your cards. It will not be any use
to poke the cards in a letter box when nobody is looking.

I’ve just got to knock off early one of these days and
get home before dark. I told Col. G. W. Nevills to chunk
a cigar across the street, but its too dark to look for it
when I get home. Apd by gosh, I just heard Jess Harrell
became a daddy again. Come across, Jess.
