? Edenton Basketball Teams Win
l Third Straight Double Victories
By BILL GOODWIN
The Edenton Aces and Acelets
continued to prey on the leading
teams in the Albemarle Confer
ence by grabbing their third
suaight doubleheader with vic
tsories over Plymouth’s Panthers
on the local court last Friday
night.
The Aces racked up their third
straight win and evened their
conference record at with a
56-44 decision. The Acelets
knocked the Plymouth girls into
a three-way tie for first place
in the league and tucked in
their fourth straight with a 49-
42 come-from-behind victory.
The Acelets and the Plymouth
and Ahoskie girls are tied for
the conference lead with 3-1
records. Scotland Neck, Ahos
kie and Williamston’s boys are
sitting on top of the head in
their division with the Aces and
Plymouth tied for second. Hert
ford is currently in the cellar.
The Aces jumped out to a 28-
20 lead at the half with some
deadly outside shooting and Bry
ant Griffin’s fine rebound work.
The Panthers abandoned their
zone defense during the second
half and managed to stay even
with the Aces in the third quar
ter. But the locals poured on
the steam to win going away.
Johnny Phillips again led the
Aces’ scoring, getting 16 points.
Griffin was close behind with 14

1 The message from our Lord j
Jesus Christ *o the saints at
Sardis (continued) The Reve
lation 3:1-6.
“ . . . thou hast a name that
thou livest. and art dead.”.
Last week I pointed out that
the first characteristic of a dead :
church is that it rests upon past|
accomplishments and ignores the
challenge of the present. Still,
another is that it is more con-j
cerned with forms than with;
reality, “having a form of god- 1
liness. but denying the power,
thereof.” There is always the!
danger that the symbols of ou rl
faith, which we can see, will;
become more real to us than
the faith they symbolize, which:
we cannot see.
The dead church will love’
material considerations more!
than it loves Christ. Through
out history churches have been
corrupted by riches. Lack of
wealth is. of course, no certain
assurance of spiritual vitality—,
but presence of wealth always,
seems to result in corr'clacency. j
apathy and death. Only as we 1
must sacrifice for the Lord’s
work can we maintain our in
terest in it. It is a'most a gen
eral rule that rich churches are
dead churches.
The dead church will love 1
ease, comfort, peace at anvj
pr’ce. The dead church will bej
careful to take no stand agains" |
sin. to stir no hornets’ nests, to
disturb no one. It will, in short !
betray the Lord Jesus Christ 1
rather than lose the good favor!
Lrf sinful men. Even in New!
"Testament times there were 1
churches like this—when ’he go
ing got rough thev would hand
over their coDies of the Scrip
tures rather than be criticized
by the pagan mob. These
“Christians” were called “Tradi
tors” from the Latin word ■
meaning “to hand over”. Wo|
. pet our English word “traitor” j
from the same source.
The dead church will follow j
the heathen philosoohv that the |
ir *d justifies the means. Any
shady business practice w 11 bej
defended on the ground that it i

12 led the Panthers.
lhe two girls squads played
along on even terms during the
first half. After the first two
periods the score was tied at
22-all. Then Plymouth shot out
in front 37-29 at the third quar
ter mark. But the Acelets re
sponded before a roaring parti
san crowd of over 250. With
Sara Relfe Smith showing the
way wi h 11 points, the locals
cutscored the visitors 20-5 in th<
final period to wtn going away.
Smith led the scoring for the
Acelets with 24 tallies. Beverly
Morgan added 15. Mary Anne
Overton 8 and Sue Bunch 2.
Gay Keel had 16, Joan Mizelle
13 and Linda Papineau 10 for
the losers.
The Edenton Junior Varsity
' added a 26-24 triumph to the
local string of victories in an
afternoon game. The three Eden
ton squads won a total of eight
contest? during the week.
The Aces and Acelets will be
idle the rest of this week due
to the examination schedule. A
game that was originally plan
ned with Hertford for Tuesday
night was cancelled for the
same reason. The locals will re
turn to action on Tuesday, Jan
uary 26. at Ahoskie.
I needed the devil’s money). Un
! Scriptural methods wi 1 be de-
I fended on the premise that they
do more good than harm. False
doctrine will be tolerated be
cause “it brings happiness to
I those who believe it.”
To the dead church at Sardis
our Lord addresses both a threat
and a word of hone. The threat
is that He will come upon them
without warning, “as a thief”
!(3:3). The word here translat
,ed “thief” carries the meaning
jof coming upon them secretly,
I when thev would be unprepared.
] The word of hope is “Repent,
j remember, hold fast, and be
j watchful.” The neople of Sar
jds (what did thev call them-]
| selves? Sardines?) would well]
! understand what Jesus meant
(by that. One border of their
; city was a steep cliff, which
! down through historv they con
-1 sidered a natural barrier to any
I invading, -oarmv. So confident
! were thev - that ‘hev had never
even bothered to post a sentry
! there. The Persians took the
city-by scaling the cliff. Two
hundred years later. Antiochus
the Great took the city in exact
ly the same way.
I They would well understand
!what Jesus meant. Wher« we
think we are strongest we are
most vulnerable to attack. No
church dare ever become proud
and complacent, for in so do
ing it will commit suicide.

SCHOOL AND YOUR CHILD
By John Coiey. Appalachian State Teachers College
More than 700,000 elementary
school children in better than
2.000 U. S. schools now study
a foreign language, some begin

This is a trend that should
become more widespread, ac
cording to Mrs. N. L. Gilbert.
French professor at Appalachian

The professor admits that
learning a foreign tongue is a
complex skill but credits young
children with remarkable abili
ties to learn and retain sound
patterns. In fact, she beiieves

Learning to write them, how

they must encourage their chil

In today’s shrinking world
