During this period, North Caro

Texas followed North Carolina by
putting .94 miles of interstate
highways to contract during the
same period.
n North Carolina’s number one
rating in the nation was based
on a tabulation by the Washing

Babcock poined out that al
though North Carolina’s inter
state program was slowed down
last summer and fall by the Bu
reau’s refusal to O. K. new in
terstate construction while the
State’s right to condemn proper
ty for “limited access” was in
doubt, North Carolina’s road pro
gram picked up steam once the
question of the State’s authority
on “limited access” was settled in
December by a Supreme Court
ruling in its favor. The State’s
right to condemn property for
limited access highways was fur
ther spelled out by the 1957 Leg
islature.
Impetus for the current acceler
ated construction is the availabili
ty of increased funds for the se
select 677-mile long interstate
system in North Carolina. During
the next two years, North Caro
lina will receive $94 million from
the federal government for con
struction on this one vital road
system. The federal government
is putting up 90 per cent of the
cost of interstate construction
with the State putting up ten per
cent.
The interstate routes are being
built to the highest engineering
standards for safety in movement

of large volumnes of traffic.
* “Limited access” is being applied
to the construction of these big
dual-laned interstate highways.
LNo private or commercial drive
ways may tie directly into the in
terstate roads. All intersecting
primary and county roads must be
carried either over or under the
main highway on bridges or traf
fic interchanges.
Construction of the interstate
highways will bring untold eco
nomic benefits to the State in an
efficient, safe road network ca
pable of carrying no# only to
day’s traffic but the traffic of
1975.
Some pf the big superhighways
which are in various stages of
construction across the State on
the interstate system include:
The multi-lane Winston-Salem
Expressway. The paving on the
first link is nearing completion
while grading and structures are
underway on the second section.
The 11-mile long dual-lane
northside Charlotte bypass on US
29. Concrete paving will start
within the next few weeks.
The 16-mile dual-laning of relo
cated US 421 between Kerners
ville bypass and Greensboro.
Concrete paving has been under-;
way for over a month.

(continued from last week)
One of the marks of the Lord
Jesus on Paul was the mark of
love. PiauK-spoke from experi
ence when he said, “The love of
God is shed abroad in our hearts
by the Holy Ghost who is given
unto us.” He loved his lovely
Lord; and in imitation of Christ,
Paul loved his fellow men; for
truly, our love for others is the
measure of our love for God. We
used to sing a hymn (I haven’t
heard it in many years):
Give me a passion for souls, dear
Lord,
A passion to save the lost;
1 0 that thy love were by all
adored,
And welcomed at any cost:
Jesus, I long,
I long to be winning,
Those who are lost
And constantly sinning;
O may this hour
Be one of beginning
The story of pardon to tell.
Paul had a passion for souls; a
passion that knew no limit. Some
preachers, and, sad to say, some
churches, specialize in reaching
certain types of people. Some
churches appeal to the rich, oth
ers to the poor; some to those
whose names are on the social
register, others to those whose
names are on the police blotter.
There is no respect of persons
with Clod, nor was there with
Paul. He witnessed to them all:
To religious bigots, political lead
ers, intellectuals, the untutored,
social snobs, common folk like
you and me. it didn’t matter to
Paul. One Gospel, one Saviour,
one Sacrifice was sufficient fori
all; and Paul was deeply con
cerned for all men that they
might come to a saving knowledge

of Jesus Christ.
Paul never missed an oppor
tunity to witness for Christ; he
was adept at turning any conver
sation into a discussion of the
deep things of the Spirit. The
Philippiai) jailor asked, “What
must I do to be saved?” The
jailor wasn’t thinking of his soul’s
salvation when he asked that
question; he was thinking of his
job. What he meant was, “What
must I do to be saved from los
ing my job?” Paul ignored that
question, and answered the ques
tion the jailor should have ask
ed: “Believe on the Lord Jesus
Christ, and thou shalt be saved”
(Acts 16:31). Many of us, I fear,
are adept at steering conversa
tions all around the periphery of
th» Christian faith; Paul went
straight to the heart of the mat-1
ter, bringing all those with whom
he came in contact face to face
with their need of Christ.
Paul was a man branded for
Christ. Being branded is not an
easy thing. It means pain; it
means bearing the stigma. Are:
we willing to ear the brand marks
of Christ? One day, perhaps
