One question asked, “What is your chief reason for believing'that you possess executive ability?;’ Most of the answers were alike, but one stood out from the oth ers. It read: “I think I would make a suc cessful. executive because I sel dom get lonesome and would not mind working in a private office.” A famous doctor declared that loneliness was today’s most dev astating disease. “The longer I WITH THE FARM WOMEN j By VIRGINIA M. NANCE, Extension Home Economics Editor Smaller World After briefly studying countries in the United Nations, Alamance County Home Demonstration Club women realize the world grows smaller as they learn about these countries and their peoples. Katherine Millsaps, home agent, reports that several club women correspond regularly with other women in foreign countries. Mrs. J. O. Tingen, Graham, Rt. 2, en joys the food ideas sent to her by her pen pal in Australia. As a result of correspondence with a French news writer ■ and a French interpreter, Mrs. D. V. Andrew, Snow Camp, Rt. 1, is studying French. Recently, she received a French almanac. As county international rela tions chairman and a member of the state international relations committee, Mrs. Andrew writes to 35 pen pals in the United States and foreign countries. Sew And Save “I’m really practicing what I preach sew and save money,” I exclaimed Mrs. Daniel Brick house, local clothing leader for the Lower Sound Side Home! Demonstration Club of Tyrrell County. By remodeling a lovely grey, flannel coat that was discarded by a teenage daughter, Mrs. Brickhouse created an attractive car coat for her eight-year-old daughter. Total cost—9o cents! The saving amounted to $11.10! Her efforts really impressed members of her home demonstra tion club, according to the report of Home Agent Ann Davenport.

We can recal! some loneliness in childhood: loneliness in our youth; loneliness in the middle years and the des perate loneliness of old age. There are no years in which there is no loneliness. This fact gives us an everlast- j ing opportunity to bring happi ness by lessening loneliness. By ron pointed out how easily we can I . do it. Simply by seeking to bles”- 1 someone or by giving someone a ; reason to bless us, we will end our loneliness and, more import ant, end the loneliness of some one else. John* Cates, Jr., and her New Hope Grange Committee waged war on unsightly mail boxes in Orange County. Kathryn Pritchett, assistant home agent, says “The Commit tee, realizing many people can not find the time to do the little jobs that add so much to their surroundings, is repairing, paint ing and stenciling names on the boxes.” Thus, the project of mail box improvement selected by the New Hope Community in the 1958 Ru ral Progress Program is fast be coming a reality. Frozen Foods Elizabeth Ann Ammons, presi dent of the Holly Springs Com munity 4-H Club, has long been relating the frozen foods story to other 4-H’ers and home demon stration women in Macon County. Recently, men and women from Cuba and Paraquay were told how a part-time farm family plans, raises and conserves an adequate food supply. They saw \ a home freezer with recommend ed packaging of foods high in j protein, vitamins and minerals— ! the meat, fruits and vegetables j needed for the winter ahead, i Home Agent Florence Sherrill j reported the foreign visitors were equally interested in Elizabeth’s 4-H records, too.

Memory Selection: “Be- doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves.” —(James 1:22.) Leeson Text: Mark 4:1-34. This lesson shows that the use of parables was one of Jesus’ ma jor teaching devices. Its aim is to emphasize the fact that the Kingdom grows if given even half a chance. When Jesus taught, one of the major characteristics of his meth ods was simplicity. He never pre pared a formal sermon that was read from a pulpit. He apparent ly spoke extemporaneously—in a house, by the sea, near a toll gate, to a woman at a well, on a moun tain. He did not argue theology. Jesus’ simplMty in his teach ing was due in large part to his desire to be understood. His sole purpose in teaching was to win men to God. This is a second characteristic of his teaching methods; he cared more for men! than for theories. He at no time emphasized the correct belief. He did, however, emphasize get ting right with a moral God, and with one’s fellow man. Again, Jesus was very practi cal in his teaching. He was con cerned with the everyday prob lems of life. The subject of his homilies was always drawn from such things as how to be a good neighbor; how to receive repent- Chowan County Churches EDENTON BAPTIST REV. R. N. CARROLL.

Jesus taught a simple, practical, man-centered and God-coneemed message. He knew only to well of men’s sins—their shallow lives, their selfish and arrogant ways, the hardness of heart that always seemed so much in evidence. Yet, under all these faults, he was sharply aware of what each could become. In Levi, for instance, he saw not a despised tax-gatherer; he saw, rather, a possible apostle and a flaming evangelist. He looked deep behind the surface things. Jesus emphasized not what men were or are, but what they could be under God. Apparently soon after Jesus be gan meeting with opposition due to his healing activities, he used another method of teaching. He developed the use of the parable, i His parables always took the form of a story, but a story which sought to prove but one major point. In the parable we are studying ; today, Jesus was placing empha i sis on the quality of the soil into i which the seeds scattered by the sower fell, and the soil was to be likened to the depth of men’s ! minds. He was emphasizing the importance of depth to the mind —the necessity of a receptive mind to great ideas and faith. The Word is nullified and made void by those who permit it to lie on the surface of their minds. As with the seed that fell on the beaten path where, the soil could not give it lasting life, the seed of truth is wasted if it is not nourished in minds that can re- Continued on Page B—Section 2 YEOPIM BAPTIST Sunday School Sunday morning at 10 o’clock.
