PAGE TWO Discouraged Minister’s Influence Great By JAMES MacKENZIE" Some two-hundred years ago an old English minister walked into his church yard and, sitting down on a tombstone, began to weep. He wept because he considered his life a fail ure. Attendance at his church had been dwindling for yeans, and his offi cers had finally taken it upon them selves to ask him to resign and let a younger man take his place. As he sat there, disconsolate, a small boy came skipping down the highway, and stopped to pass the time of day with the elderly pastor. The old man told the young lad about the Bible, and led him to place his faith in Jesus. The boy—now a new boy in Christ—went merrily on his way. The broken-hearted preacher returned to his sorrow. Not many weeks later he passed on to be with his Lord. The boy, William Carey, grew up to become one of the greatest Christ ians this world has ever known. He did more than any other man to in terest the Protestant churches in mis sions; went himself, and endured un told hardships as a pioneer missionary to India; and founded his denomina tion’s missionary movement. Wil liam Carey’s influence is with us yet, and literally millions have turned to Christ because of his ministry. All because a broken-hearted old preacher —a failure in the eyes of his mem bers —thought enough about a dirty faced young boy to speak to him about his immortal soul. There are scores of potential Wil liam Careys around yet, if we could but see them. Indeed, there are hun dreds of boys and girls right here in our midst with the ability to be greatly used of God —but they must receive the proper training. “Train Cpl. Jesse E.

I It has been well said that the child 3 is an imitator—he seeks to follow 7 the example of the adults who cross 3 his path from day to day. That is r why so many youngsters smoke at an ’ early age, and drink, use obscene lan -1 guage and take the name of the Lord in vain—they get it from some of i you who read these words, and who ■ are so shocked when your children > act and talk just like you do.

Are you careful to see that influence . is a good one? (Do you want that boy or girl to grow up to be just like , you? A little girl in the mountains of • Western North Carolina was asked to give Jesus’ teaching about children. She answered, “Suffer the young’uns to come unto me.” And she Was right! For this is Jesus’ commandment to us, “Bring the children unto me.” Let us be faithful, therefore, in living before them lives that are worthy of imitation. Then only eternity will reveal the extent of our influence.

And we’ll tell you why. You can drive a Buick throe, four, five hundred miles in a single daf, and feel fresh enough to keep right on going. You can romp up high MUs, cruise straightaways, ease through traffic-tangled towns, clock off hour after hour of relaxed and pleasurable driving— and be no more tired than a neighborhood jaunt would make you.

This Week’s Poem By WILBORNE HARRELL ENIGMA A shuttlecock between two eternities l ls all life.—Or a bridge divine to span And link the Before and After of men, But yet remains the greatest of all mysteries. 'All that cosmos offers man’s conscience flees And fails to find rept in his futile brain— A bright lamp which fanned to brilliance may gain, In time, the secret of life and its keys. A soul flares up in the stygian black of eternity. A small flame, it lives And gutters for a moment, and then gives ■Up its light to seek its darkened way back To the eternity that is the end And the beginning of life’s tameless track. 85th Annual State Fair Opens Tuesday, Oct. 14 Mama has baked her prize-winning cake, papa has hiis exhibit seed se lected and junior has his calf groomed for the opening of the 85th annual N.

One reason we expect the best fair, and a record attendance, said Sboff ner, is that there will be “mote to > see, more to enjoy and more to learn.” He listed the following features: !A s greatly expanded exhß»t area, includ i ing partial use of the big new coli :, scum officially named the “State-Fair 1 Arena,” plus new livestock, poultry, educational and commercial display s buildings.
