Then came Peter to him and said, Lord, how
oft shall, my brother sin against me. and I for
give him? till seven times". Matt, 18:21.
The quality of mercy is not strained; it is twice
blest; it blessot.h him that gives, and him that
takes.
May we remember. Eternal Father, that we shall
be forgiven as we forgive. Help us to be ready to
forgive all who injure us. even as Christ forgave
those who took his life.
The Perfect Valentine
St. Valentine’s Day is ruled by the heart.
How the day originated, however, has been a.
matter of dispute for generations.
The romantic contend it started in England, with
gentlemen carrying gifts to their ladies on the day
that birds chose to begin their, mating.
The historically-minded claim the day is a tri
bute to two third century martyrs, both named
St. Valentine, and that—in recognition of their
kindly deeds—it became a custom to exchange
tokens of love.
The origin of the day is of little importance now.
It is enough to concede that St. Valentine’s Day
is well established as a day for making gifts to
those we love.
In this context, it is appropriate to note that St.
Valentine's Day marks the half-way point of the
1958 Heart Fund campaign.
So we suggest that, in thinking of affairs of the
heart, you consider the vital organ which makes
life possible. How better could one .Show affec
tion than through a Heart Fund gift intended to
protect the heart of a loved one?
A gift for the hearts of all those you love
meaning a contribution to the Heart Fund—is in
deed the perfect Valentine!
Brotherhood Week
Next week, February 18-23, will be observed as
Brotherhood Week, which should be reason for ali
citizens to consider its significance.
It is well, at a time when the principles upon
which our. democracy is founded are gravely
threatened, that we 'should reassert them, firmly..
and rededicate ourselves to their daily practice.
Brotherhood Week, sponsored by the National.
Conference of. Christians and Jews, provides an
opportunity to affirm pur acceptances of the obli
gations implicit in the ideals of brotherhood—giv
ing' to others the same rights, respect and dignity
that we want for ourselves.
A little less selfishness would go a long Way to
ward solving some of the 'world’s--'problems.!
People who become emotional when someone
disagrees with them.overwork their emotions and
underwork their brains.

It’s nice to be able to report that the "Edenton
Colony" has returned to the “East Coast” from
N. C. Memorial Hospital at Chapel Hill. Izzy Cam
pen, Mrs. Lena Leary and Jim Daniels have been
patients in the hospital and each one had been in
very serious condition, but now they are all ap
parently on the mend. Izzy returned to Edenton
Wednesday of last week and was recuperating at
Chowan Hospital. Jim Daniels returned to his
home Sunday and Mrs. Leary returned to her
home Monday afternoon. Latest reports are to
the effect that all three are making satisfactory
progress and are delighted to be able to meet and
greet their friends. Here's one who’s glad they
are able to be back home and soon regain their
normal health.

Many Edentonians gasped at the heavenly spec
tacle Monday night when the sky was lighted up
by the Aurora Borealis or Northern Lights. Some
thought it might be a gang of Sputniks coming
m, while some thought a big fire was in pro
gress somewhere. At any rate somebody called the
Edenton Fire Department, saying that all of Rocky
Hock was burning up. Fire Chief W. J. Yates
and W. M. Rhoades quickly jumped into the small
fire truck and raced toward Rocky. Hock but the
reflection became no nearer, so they, like a.lot*of
people, just stopped and gazed' into the sky and
wondpred what it was.
o
Yep some women are mighty hard to understand.
I was told of a lady who had just had the floors
in her home're-finished.' Mr. husband, thought ev
erything was hunky dory, but when he came home
a few nights later he was amazed to find his wife
measuring the floor in one of the rooms. "What
you doing?” he asked his wife, "Well, honey,” she
said. "I think we ought to have wall-to-wall carpet
so Fm measuring to sec how much it will cost.”
1 wasn't informed if the husband flew Off the han
dle, or plain fainted.

Lonnie Harrell is one of those fellows who. likes
home-made biscuits at his meals. Os course, the
Missus works in the county agent's office, so that
sometimes she gets in a jam and does not have
enough time to make biscuits. When those times
occur she, of course, puts bread on the table and
every time Lonnie Spouts out, “What, some of
those city biscuits again?”
Like I heard a lot of people say, here’s another
who'll welcome a little warmer weather. With
the oil burners working overtime for quite a while
now. a lot of us will be about the middle of sum
mer paying the winter's oil bill.

With Mayor Ernest Kehayes becoming part own
er of the P & Q Super Market, Town Council will,
no doubt, if they want to eat after a long session,
bring their own sandwiches. The Mayor can now
be seen shuffling around the P & Q and I under
stand he’s figuring on selling his Albemarle Res
taurant. He invited the Councilmen to his restau
rant. Tuesday night to have a snack, but with
mouths all set for a piece of pie, a sandwich or ice
cream, the boys bad to go home without—the May
or left his. key; to the restaurant at home.

Thanks to Bill Goodwin, a student at the Eden
ton Junior-Senior High School, The Herald has
been able to carry stories about the Edenton bas
ketball games. Bill writes pretty good; stories,
which require as little editing as any news items
coming in far the paper. Here’s expressing my
appreciation for the news and hope Bill will go on
in what I understand is an ambition to study jour
nalism.

Weekly Devotional)
Column
By JAMES MacHJSNZIE
Last week we considered the
foundation premises of commu
nism, as explained by Dr. Fred
erick Schwartz, noted authority
on the communist mentality, to
the House Committees on Un-
American Activities.
Dr. Schwartz goes on to ex
plain the communist blueprint for
world conquest. To spread their
“gospel”, communists enlist young
men and women, appealing to
their youthful idealism and natur
al desire to building a better
world. “Give us the young peo
ple,” they say, “and in one gen
eration we shall control the
world." Nor do they seek, pri
marily to make our young peo
ple avowed communists; but
merely materialists. Materialism,
living for this World and its
"benefits” is the foundation phi
losophy of communistic econom
ics, and if Americans can be led
to adopt a completely materialis
tic philosophy, America will, Hp
the words of Lenin, “fall in the
hands of communists like an over
ripened fruit.”
Unfortunately, their campaign
to make America materialistic
seems to be succeeding. Untold
millions of Americans live from
Week to week, month to month,
year to year, without so much as
a passing thought of Christ and
His claims. The impact of the
Christian faith has no more in
fluence on their lives than the
identity of the eighth Avitar of
Vishnu. They bask in the bless
ings of God, but never breathe a
word of thanks; they spend hours
before their television set, but
never a minute before the open
Bible; they never attend church,
never pray. They are, in effect,
pagans; by not even the loosest
construction of the term could
they be called Christians. And
loyal to their country as they un
doubtedly are. they are commu
nisms hope of capturing Ameri
ca.
Let me suggest we as Chris
tians rip a page from the commu
nist book, and challenge our
young people with the demands
of Christ. Young people do not
want a flarry religion that makes
no demands and requires no sac
rifice. They want a faith that
will challenge their intellects and
change their lives; a faith that
will ignite their youthful ideal
ism and give them direction and
purpose. We have made a trag
ic mistake in sugar-coating the
Christian faith for the consump
tion of young people. We ask
nothing of them but a periodic
concession to traditional formali
ties, and they turn away in dis
gust. Youth workers, Sunday
School teachers: be blunt and
precise When you explain the
claims of Christ . The Great
Commission extends to all; you
owe it to the young people who
look to you for guidance to bring
them face to face with the chal
lenge of the mission field. You
owe it to them not to beat around
the bush when it comes to sin and
worldliness. Don't worry about
losing your teen-agers if you
speak plainly; you are more apt
to lose them when you do not
speak plainly. Communism seeks
to wifi America by challenging
our young people with a spartan
faith in materialism. The only
Jiope for the future of America is
for us to challenge them with a
sacrificial faith in Christ as Savi
our and Lord.
