PAGE SIX SECTION QHB BRUSH-ARBOR INCIDENT By JOHN D. McCREADY Ever speak in public? If so, you know the thrill that comes from an audience. But public speakers* little rea lize what may be going on in the mind of some one who sits listen ing. | A handsome young cadet from | the Citadel in Charleston wasj visiting at his home in North Car- ] olina. His father had recently moved from one community to, another, and in the new one his i son was not well acquainted. On 1 Sunday they attended church and | the son was introduced to the pastor. A few days later a note of ap preciation came to the minister. The cadet had made no comment at the church door, as he wish ed to see how much of the ser mon would remain with him af terward. He stated in the letter that he had formed a habit of never al lowing himself to be swayed mo mentarialy by the magnetism of a speaker. He disapproved in tensely of emotionalism, and was determined never to be influenced by it. His reaction stemmed from an incident in a neighboring state. An evangelist, holding revival services in a brush-arbor, began his sermon one night with the story of a dog, a much-loved ani mal which his family had owned in his boyhood days. He told feelingly of the many endearing traits of the household pet, illustrating each with a touching story. He began with the puppy hood of Rover and con tinued through his mature years and old age. Then the dog’s death was graphically described and the scene at his burial por trayed in detail. The crowd in the brush-arbor saw in imagina tion all the family standing roundabout the flower-strewn grave, weeping inconsolably for their departed friend. By this time the emotions of the speaker visibly swayed his hearers. Many gave way to their sympathy and grief and wept aloud unashamed. I Then quickly the evangelist gave the invitation, and a num ber responded, coming forward confessing their faith. The revulsion of the young Tar Heel cadet’ against tnis travesty on relieion can be understood., He disliked intensely for maudlin sentimentality to masquerade as Christianity. That does not mean for a mo ment that true emotion has no p'ace in religion. The great evangel'sts, from Moody to Graham, have address ed their appeals largely to the minds and consciences of their j hearers, and above all to their wills, and have always laid their foundation for their inv tations' in Christ and the Bible. But they have recognized that men are =eldom moved to l fe-chang ing decisions except as their emo tions are stirred: and they have j not hesitated to use the human heart as an avenue to the will. The late Sir George Adam Smith, noted Scottish scholar, once met a young man who had made a decision which greatly im- j pressed Sir George. He was pre-1 paring to go as a missionary to j a neglected region in Africa, J wuW!

The young missioner nodded. I “What then is the explanation l of your going out there, to die before your time?” Quietly came the reply—“ The I Son of God, who loved me, and gave Himself for me.” ) Can any one doubt that a pro found emotional experience lay back of that decision—that deep called unto deep, and the deep responded? 105 Receive Old Asre Assistance In June Accord ng to the monthly re port of Mrs. J. H. McMullan, wel fare superintendent, 105 persons I in Chowan County received old j age assistance during June with 3,586 being d'stributed.

Bettendorf, representative of the Social Security Ad ministration, is in Edenton every Thursday at the North Caro. i Una Employment Security Commission in Citizens Bank I Building. Question: I’m over 65 but I can't afford to stop farming and; live on my social security bene-' fit payments. That’s why I have not "gone to the social security j office and filed a claim for old age payments. What worries me is what would happen to my wife if I should die? , Answer: If that should hap pen, and your wife is 62 or over at the time, she will be entitled to widow’s benefits as your sur- ! vivor. The fact that you have not filed a claim for retirement 1 benefits would make no differ- 1 ence. Question: I’m a young farmer, just 35. Don't see any use pay • ing the tax all this time. I think | I’d rather take my chances- and i join up with social security later, ! when I’m near 65. Can I do that? Answer: No. Farmers are cov ered by social security as of Jan j uary 1, 1955. You are required to report your net earnings from ! from farm self-employment and I pay the social security tax year ly- !

This , doesn’t seem fair to us younger 1 people who must go on paying so cial security taxes for many years j Answer: Every retirement sys tem—private or public—has to start somewhere. It is no fault of your neighbor that he did not ] have the opportunity to partici pate in the program earlier. Just as private industry has often done in pension plans, Congress decid ed that a worker should have a reasonable retirement income, even though the social security program was set up too late for | him to pay for a substantial part of it. While it is true-that he is receiving- a lot more in old-age benefits than he paid in socal se curity taxes, he has suffered the same kind of income loss, from retirement, that may fe.ce you af ter a full lifetime of farming un der the old-age survivors, and dis ability insurance program. Also, your family has survivors insur ance protection. In case of your death, they stand to get monthly benefit payments for many years. lln addition, you have disability protection. This provision in the law protects your right to later benefits if you become too dis abled for further gainful work and provides monthly disability payments to you when you reach age 50. ’ Weekly Devotional Column Hv JAMES MacnKNKIK < > —.—T—.— Recently the Northern Presby terian machine sent a letter to each of its 9,462 churches. Much of the letter was the same old stuff one has come to expect in such letters, but one passage was surprisingly prophetic: “We must discern the WoYd of God . . God’s wrath falls upon nations whose rulers wilfully and ( openly deny Him, but He may use them |o execute His purpose and chastise His owp people. Against Isrrael, He used the imperial power of Assyria as the rod of His anger, and staff of His.fury. He! may in our time use communist or other godless powers to chas tise privileged, nominally Chris-' tian nations who forget God and ignore their indebtedness to Him. I Our nation, favored by God, 1 stands in the same jeopardy as ancient Israel. Are we subtly yet surely dethroning God and ceas ing to serve Him Are we trying to fit the Almighty into our own little schemes, .instead of fitting ourselves into His own great plan for the world? A nation as well as an individ ual can lose its soul. We Ameri cans are in danger of rejecting the heritage that made us what we are. With penitence let us confess that we as a people are becoming less interested in righteousness than in national se curity and international superior ity. Relations between us and other peoples are no longer deter mined by moral principles or by consideration of human need. The ' ancient words, justice and righteousness, emptied of their true content, are used as weapons in international politics. Self-in terest is becoming the great abso lute. Even baptizing self-interest with the adjective ‘enlightened’ does not make it Christian.” The world, is no better than it is because we Christians are no better than we are, and for the same reason the Church is no bet ter than it is. We have not aban doned ourselves .to God’s will. The measure of our obedience is the measure of our power. ’ The Church must demonstrate by the consistency of its life the validity of its claims. Christian truth is personal truth. It centers in a Person, Je sus Christ. It expresses itself in the lives of persons whp tbecome Christ’s followers, whose lives bear His likeness, and who live uqder His leadership in church and society. The Lordship ofi Christ in the Church, and in the world, begins, in individual sons.” Boiled down, the letter, which, is based on the teachings of the Bible, says ,this: Nations-that for get God ace doomed to destruc tion. America is forgetting God. Only a revival can save us. Re-j vivals begin in individuals. You' and I are individuals. Necessity knows no law ex cept to conquer.

The Councilmen also adoptea the proposed budget for the year 1958-50, which calls for a SI.OO sax rate, the same as last year. | A report was preserved rela tive to annexing property adjoin t ing Albemarle Court, but with the Albemarle Peanut Company be ing unwilling to sign to take in a larger area, the Councilmen agreed to include that portion of ila n d recently purchased by I George Twiddy. In compliance with a report ,of j an engineer relative to the side walk recently constructed on Car teret Street, the Councilmen | adopted the sidewalk assessment, i Opposition* to paying the assess ment was previously registered, 1 but the engineer reported that the | sidewalk has bjeen properly con structed far future street paving. Action on a street to be con sidered back of the stores on the east side of Broad Street and the extension of Eden Street was de ferred pending a decision by the County Commissioners as to* whether they will give the town 10 feet of their property. A petition was presented by property owners on Gale Street which requested curb and gutter, storm sewer, sidewalks and street paving on East Gale Street be tween Broad and Oakum Streets. The petition was signed by 12 property owners. No action was ■ taken, but Town Clerk Ernest Ward, Jr., was instructed to noti fy those concerned that a rough estimate placed the cost at some where round $6.57 per front foot for the property owners. It was felt that the property owners should be informed about how much the improvements will cost them and that the work could not be done until the Town had .the money to do it. Before adjourning Mayor Ernest Kehayes informed the Council man that he had a request for a definite answer relative to the Town and County taking over the Edenton base \jvhen jt is inacti vated. The Councilmen were rather hesitant to make any com mitment but were of the opinion that Town Clerk Ernest Ward, Jr., write a letter requesting under what conditions the base would be turned over to the town. It was pointed out that the base site would be quite an incentive to | attract industry provided there were no strings attached, and at the same time thpt -neither the town nor county would be able to ■ be responsible for the upkeep of the base. As the matter now stands, word is awaited from the Navy selative to what terms the , base would be turned over to the j town and county. Love taught him- shame; and shame, with love at strife.
