His hostess had been ex tremely talkative during the per- j formanee, to Clemmen’s irrita-, t : on. Toward the end of the opera she gushed, 'My dear Mr. Clemmens, I do so want you to be with us next Friday. I’m sure you’ll like it. The opera will be Tosea’.” “Charmed,” replied Clemmens. “I’ve never heard you in that.” We talk too much. We re veal our scanty knowledge I quickly. Shortly we are boring' everyone, even those who se- j Huge Program Os Evangelism Planned By Methodist Church* “Come With Us To Christ” is the theme that launches the pro-j pram of evangelism of the North Carolina Conference of the Meth-' odist Church. Recent statistics reveal that there are mere than 800,000 men, women, boys and girls in the eastern half of North Carolina who have never made a pro fession' of faith ; n Jes"s Christ as Lrrd and Saviour. This same number also is not identified in any manner with ’anv church. The Board of Evangelism of the North Carolina Conference has challenged the Conference and the Conference has accepted its responsibility in this field and set a goal for seeking to win 100.000 or more of this number to Christ with the trust that the other churches would accept their responsibility also, and to gether in prayerful cooperation W'n these men, women, boys end girls here in our State to a knowledge of Christ as their Lord and Saviour and to the Christian way of life here. The first phase of this pro gram began Monday, August 31, when the ministers cf the Con ference met at Louisburg College for a School of Evangelism led t|Y Dr. Clovin Chappe'l of Wav eriy, Tennessee: and Dr. G. Er nest Thomas of Nashville, Ten nessee, who is head of the De partment of Spiritual Life of the General Board of Evanee lism and the Methodist Church. The second phase of the pro gram of evangelism will take place when the district work shops are held throughout the Conference beginning on Sep tember 21st and continuing through October 2nd. At these workshops the various methods of evanae’ism will be taught to the Commissions on Membe-shin ■ and Evangelism of the loral churches. All members of the church will be invited to these meetings who have an interest in evangelism in their own church. Visitation evangelism, each one win one evangelism, the two by two method of evange lism, and family evangelism will] be presented at each of the workshops in the subdistrict meetings. The third phase will be a great evangelistic rally to be *WVWV>/VWWWWW»^/VWV\/WWVS) Good Reading lor the Whole Family •News • Facts •Family Featmes The Christian Science Monitor One Norway St., Boston IS, Mass.

There are three possible reasons why we gabble so much. We talk too much because we \ selfishly want to monopolize the I conversation, or we are boastful and want people to know that , we are important, or we are just ' plain nin corn-poops. As none l of these is praise-worthy, what can we do about, it? Obviously, only you can gtop you from talking too much. Therefore, when you start a con versation remember that a half view is more interesting than a fully satisfied vision..

There will j ■ be 12,500 men, women and young i; I people who will attend this rally, j and by doing so will make theirj own personal witness for Christ ' and the Church. They will be challenged to. go back to their homes and churches and win two -for Christ during the next three months. The fourth phase of the pro gram of Evangelism will begin when the people return home and begin their witnessing for Christ and their churches, homes, places where they work, and visiting with their neighbors. This will be the program of* visitation evangelism, two by two. each one win one, and fam- [ ily evangelism in action. There, will be local Church convoca tions on evangelism and mem bership classes for Christ dur ing the months of November and December. Then, in January, i ■ prayer vigils for evangelism will. I beein in each of the nine dill- J tricts, forming Fishermen’s Clubs in the local churches and mak-j ing the preparation for the Con-, ference Evangelistic Mission^ I when revivals will be held in | each local church. From March | 1 6-11, 1960, all churches in the Elizabeth Citv, New Bern and Wilmington Districts will hold I revivals in each of the local churches. There will be a week for followup work. On March 20-25. in the Fayetteville, Golds boro and Rocky Mount Districts there will be revivals in each of the local churches with a week I for followup work. The Bur- I lington, Durham and Raleigh i Districts will hold revivals in each church from April 3rd through April 8. 1960. Do not forget that an honest,! j wise zeal, a lowly, triumphant trust, a true heart, and a help ing hand constitute man. and nothing less is man or woman. \ —Mary Baker Eddy.

Wheal Threshing \ To boys wheat threshing was, a good time. When wheat had ( been harvested with scythe and , cradle or later by reaper it * would be shocked in the field. When it had dried sufficiently it would be hauled and stoied in j the barn. Some threshed early I but more waited until in Au gust. It was claimed by the 4 time that wheat had gone ' through a sweat and would keep better. There was a time when power < was furnished by horses. There was horse power with four teams hitched to it that went round < and round, a rod was attached to this and to a band wheel from which a belt was run to the ' machine. The teams had to rest i but with four good teams the 1 machine could thresh a bushel j per minute for as much as an * hour and a half without resting. ' Then came the upright boiler. , It was built on an axle and was' ■ pulled on two wheels. It would | 4 be ended up and the wheels re- r moved while in action. Then| < came the four wheeled boiler i * that did not have to be ended , up. Both boilers were moved from place to place by horses. ( Both boilers necessitated plenty. of dry wood and a water hauler, j < Last came the gasoline tractor < which not only moved itself but! also pulled the thresher. All ofi . these are now in the past. To- f day people would travel miies to] 4 see one of these operations in >peration. ' No longer do boys sweat it i out in the bam loft or on the straw stack and carry bays of . vheat from the gin to the gran- , ery and at eating time set down 4 to a table loaded with better cooked food than any king ever ' had. J It is a beautiful necessity of our nature to love something.

I —(Amos 5:14). 1 I Lesson Text: Obadiah. The purpose of this lesson is Ito help adults recognize the dangers involved when they maintain proud, nationalistic at i titudes. The book of Obadiah is in tvtfo sections; it tells us of the judgment concerniing Edom, and lof the day of the Lord. Accord | ing to this Book, Israel will be, I punished also, but the doom of - the other nations is eternal. In: | the end the kingdom of God j 1 will be established. I In earlier lessons we have dis -6 cussed how we should pray for, * our nation, and what we should i do for the recovery of the spirit Yof our nation. Obadiah suggests 1 where to begin. 1 There is a noble pride which 9 every patriot should possess.; I all his country I has given him, this very pride iof country, however, should 7 make him humble of soirit. But 1 there is another sort of pride—a 1 pride which is arrogant and iso- P lationist. It is this type of pride I with which the book of Obadiah • is concerned. 4L When Israel returned from the j slavery of Babylon, their cdusins | Chowan County Churches { EDENTON BAPTIST > REV. R. N.

With a perverse blindness through the ages, man has as sumed there exists such a thing as national security. Putting his trust in power and force, he has sought to gain it. No nation is invulnerable. History reveals to the most casual observer that despite wealth and power no na tion ever attained lasting se curity. Witness the fact that the ! dynasties of Rome ; Greece, Egypt, Assyria, Russia and Chlina ■ marched in pomp before the free :of Almighty God, and then marched off the stage into oblivion. National pride brings ■ Ino enduring life—but only peril, j Obadiah indicates pride did not .; prompt Edom to any overt evil ; —she was simply a guilty by ] stander, striving for no good i j will. Neutrality may be possi .: ble in political life; but there ■ can be none in the moral world. ; In the creating of public opin ion, a nation must take sides.
