They quar reled. | One man tore the pen dulum from a big clock and used it to beat the life out of his copipahion. The murderer took and also passed on. A j philosopher commented: "What a shame to make violent use of that pendulum! Given tiqie. it would have killed both men peacefully and decently.” The'ability to wait is a happy asset, i Years, alone, cannot pos sess it. It is characteristic of maturity. The ability to wait is found in those who have mas SOL CONSERVATION NEWS ! By JAMES H. GRIFFIN. Soil Conservationist j Water Conservation Stamp Kit 1 The world’s first water con-, servation postage stamp, to be issued April 18 in Washington. D. C., honors rural and urban organizations engaged in small watershed conservation activi ties, according to L. C. Biinch, Chairman of the Albemarle Soil Conservation District. The new 4-cent stamp will go on sale at the post office here April' 19, the day following its issuance at the Seventh National Watershed Congress in the na tion's capital. The Albemarle soil conserva tion (fistrict, the Burnt Mill wa tershed protection and flood prev«»tion project and the Pol lack Swamp watershed associa tion are among the local groups honored by issuance of the stam4 'Mr.' Bunch said. ‘Thpse local groups are at-i tacking water problems where they begin—on the farm land where the water first falls, and along the small creeks and brooks that join to form our ma jor rivers.” Mr. Bunch pointed out that virtually every community inj the country has a water prob-. lem of some sort too much J (periodic floods), too little 4 (droughts) or too poor (polluted). In Chowan County our main problems are drainage, flooding andl pollution. The Burnt Mill watershed project, sponsored by the Burnt Mill Drainage District is in op eration. Work will begin with in 30 days on the 9 miles of. channel improvement. Morej than' 210 similar small water shed projects are in operation throughout the country.

HHnTKfIT. WORT* CAROLINA, WOMBAT. APRIL 1. 1960. 'Easter Parades ( j Arp Nothing New The first Easter Parades were not the fashion shows Irving Berlin wrote about, but the! celebration of a “new life.” I The custom of wearing new clothes on Easter Sunday dates from the early days of Chris tianity, when newly baptized Christians were clothed in gar ments of white linen. Researchers with World Book Encyclopedia report that bap tism has always been closely associated with Easter. Just as the Resurrection represents the new life of Christ, so baptism represents the initiation of the believer into a new life. In the early church, Lent was the annual season of preparation for baptism, and the sacrament was celebrated on Holy Satur day during the Easter Vigil. Eventually all Christians be gan to dress up for a joyful parade through town much to the joy of today’s clothing manufacturers. In fact, it might have been an early advertising executive who coined the English rhyme, “At | . Easier let your clothes be new, or else be sure you will it rue.” | Alabama Boy Wins Orkin Scholarship Mac A. Tidwell will be award ed the 1959-1960 John T. Creigh ton Scholarship next Thursday at the University of Florida. Officials from Orkin’s headquar ters, in Atlanta, will attend the presentation. The scholarship sponsored by Orkin Exterminating Company each year is awarded to a jun ior in the Department of En tomology on the basis of schol arship, professional promise and economic need. Tidwell, a native of Birming-1 ham, Alabama, graduated from high school in Gonzalez, Florida in 1957. The scholarship was establish ed by the Orkin Exterminating Company and named for the head of the Depatment of En tomology in 1953. SMALLER CORN ACREAGE March 1, 1960 prospective plantings reports from North Carolina farmers indicate that 1,948,000 acres of corn will be planted for all purposes. If farmers carry out their inten tions; they* will plant 60,000 acres or 3 percent less than they did in 1959. Corn acreage allotments are not in effect for 1960 and were not in effect in 1959. Most of the reduction in acreage for 1960 is expected to occur in the commercial coastal plains coun ties.

Lesson Text: Matthew 5:3-5; Luke 14:7-14; 16:19-31. Today We study the question: What is the true meaning of Christian humility? We are studying the Sermon on the Mount. In today’s les sons we seek, specifically, to un derstand three of the eight Beat itudes; that is, three of the basic qualities of Christlike character. 1 (The Beatitudes get their name from the opening word in the Latin translation of the New , Testament, “Beati,” meaning blessed. The Beatitudes are all characteristic of the Kingdom. The word “blessed” conveys the highest happiness that may be k’novvn to man). Can you think of the stata of mind of a person who lives in daily companionship and com munion with God? His happi ness, contentment, poise and purpose are all included in the word “blessed.” Such a person Chowan County Churches I EDENTON BAPTIST RF.V R. N. CARROLL. Pastor Sunday School at 9:45 A. M.

Here Jesus referred to that group of humble people who were dedicated to the higher spiritual life. Their thoughts were continually on God and about his purposes. Their yearn ing was to receive more of his spiritual blessings than material possessions. (Only too often, as the Old Testament writers knew well, did a rich man become worldly, irreligious and unfaith ful. Too often, although per-1 haps not always, their wealth made them feel independent of God. They had made their wealth and developed their pow ers by themselves. They were “self-made men.” On the other end of the scales were the poor. “Poor” in this instance was a synonym for “saint.” The poor men of Palestine was a deeply religious man. He accepted God’s will as the . only rule of his life. In such acceptance and dedica tion he was a saint of God. Blessed are those who recog nize the poverty of their own lives. Seeing their poverty, they are able to do something abput it. Poor indeed is the man who can’t even recognize his spiritual treasure house is bankrupt.
