noke Island Historical Association,
the Rev. George B. Holqies, rec
tor of St. Paul’s Episcopal Church,
Edenton, will be the guest preach

Farm Accidents
Take Heavy Toll
The latest available figures on
farm accidents show that more
than 14,000 were killed during the
last 12 months. Another million
injuries occurred.
“Take time to think,” advises
Howard Ellis, in charge of agri
cultural engineering for the N. C.
Agricultural Extension Service at
State College. “North Carolina
contributes its full share to this
tragic loss of life on our farms.”
A report on the Fourth District
Rural Health Conference held re
cently at Wilson clearly proved
that the physicians in the state
are well aware of the increasing
number of farm and home acci
dents, and they want to partici
pate in any and all educational
efforts to stress caution and safe
ty practices, says Ellis. *
“In general, safety is a practice
that the average person feels that
everybody else should practice,”
Ellis says. “Most of us can ex
cuse our personal errors because
we fully realize why we took the
chance. We qre not as inclined
to excuse the other fellow be- j
cause we observe the chance he \
takes without listening to his rea- JI
sons. We should each of us stop j!
and think.” ■ / f

Sunday School Lesson
RUTH, A FOREIGNER
WHO WON HER WAY
International Sunday School
Lesson For August 4th, 1957.
Memory Selection: “But. the
stranger that dwelleth with you
shall be unto you as one bom
among you, and thou shalt love
him as thyself.” —-Leviticus 19:34.
Lesson Text: Ruth 1:22; 2:1-17.
The Book of Ruth is a prose
poem, which the great German
poet, Goethe, once described as
“the loveliest little epic and
idyllic whole which has come
down to us.” It was one of the
five Rolls read at certain times
in the synagogues, this being used
at Pentacost, or the great festival
of the harvest.
There is no certainty as to the
time it was written, but it was
certainly composed much later
than the time in which the story
is set, for reference is made to the
customs as being of former times.
There are many views as to the
purpose of the book. Some think
it was written in protest against
the narrow antipathy of the Jews
against foreigners during the time
of Ezra and Nehemiah, which re
quired that all foreign wives be
divorced. On the other hand,
Matthew Henry considers the les
son of the book in “its design to
lead to Providence, to show us
how conversant it is about our
private concerns, and to teach ul,

acknowledge God in all our ways
and in all events that concern us."
Considering its picture of ideal
family life quite natural in the Bi
ble, dealing with human and di
vine, Dr. Alexander MaClaren
thinks,” surely it would be no un
worthy object to enshrine in its
pages a picture of the noble work
ings of that human love which
makes so much of human life.”
The story opens with a picture
of famine in Palestine during the
period of the Judges. Apparently
fearful of its results, a Hebrew,
named Elimelech, migrated, with
his wife, Naomi, and two sons,
Mahlon and Chilion, to Moab,
across the Jordan River, where
conditions were much better. In
a few years, Elimelech died, his
two sons married girls they had
met in Moab and, shortly thereaf
ter, they, too, died, leaving the
widow, Naomi, with her two
daughters, Ruth and Orpah. Af
ter a stay of ten years in Moab,
Naomi, now an old woman, decid
ed to return to her home in Beth
lehem.
Her two daughters-in-law ac
companied Naomi a part of the
way. Naomi, realizing the situa
tion, advised the younger women
to return to their native land,
where they might again find hus
bands. Orpah agreed and left
them, but Ruth decided to accom
pany Naomi, although in doing so,
according to the custom of the
times, she was casting her lot to
