SECTION TWO The Roundup By WILBORNE HARRELL Some of my readers say that I repeat myself, or harp on the same subjects too often. But if I am repetitious, my friends, it is because some things need repeating—over and over again. Frankly, I have but few strings to my bow. 1 shall continue to send my arrows against com munism and a]] its ramifications, k against social injustice and com ' placency. With these three ar rows, maybe eventually I will 'succeed in pricking the tough hide of our self-satisfied smug ness. and arouse the American ism that sleeps deep within the heart of each of us. We are still the same Americans that won our independence at Valley Forge and Yorktown, the same pioneers who conquered the wilderness, the same Americans that have championed freedom throughout the world. But to day we stand beleaguered, the enemy is even now without our gates; and what. Oh Lord, is it Weekly Devotional Column 9f JAMES MacKKNZIK - -« 1 “ . . . present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reason service” (Romans 12:1). J Our Lord Jesus Christ wants not only to be Master of our, minds and possessions, but of our physical bodies as well. What powerful potentialities ex ist in the human body—either for good or for evil! A head that can go to the Bible and probe the very Mind of God— or doubt, and conjure up mis chief and sin. Lips which can be used to praise God, to com-' fort others, to bless and teach — or curse, and slander, and lie. Eyes that can seek places where Christian help is necked or places to sow“.di*brd and care Hands that can bind up wounds, print the Holy Scriptures, build and maintain—or drive the bay onet. fire the deadly shot, or harm bv direct physical vio lence. Feet that can carry us to the House of God—or to the dens of sin. The human body— destructive when left to its own devices, but mighty when con- trolled by Christ.

An atom bomb? Do you remember (or maybe you don’t wapt to remember that far back) when ice was deliv ered in horse drawn ice-wagons from door to door? Each ice customer had an ice card with figures indicating the number of pounds of ice wanted—this he hung where it could be read <?hd seen by the ice-man. But the best feature of the ice-wag on was the accumulated shav ings from sawing the huge blocks of ice. And us kids would trail an ice-wagon for blocks begging a handout of these shavings, which we call ed “snowballs”. Most ice-men would cheerfully pass out the “snowballs”, but every now and then a surly purveyor of ice didn’t want no pestering from kids. And from him we didn’t 1 , His by right of creation. He made us: “Without Him was ■ not anything made that was made.” Truly Christ is the an | swer to the riddle of the uni verse—to all the riddles of the universe. Only the fact that we are made by God can explain the wonderful organism which is ; the human body. He made us —therefore He owns us. i We are His by right of sus-| tenation. In Him we live and) move and have our being. He not only ignites, but He keeps the spark of life within us glow ing—He supplies our food, our clothing, our shelter, all our needs. We are His, if we are born again Christians, by right of rc -1 demption. “Ye are not your own, for ye are bought with a price. Therefore, glorify God in your mortal body.” Bought with; a price! Redeemed from sin 'and death and hell by the pre cious blood of Jesus. Someone has said, “His pierced hands bought ours; His thorne-crownedj brow makes its claim upon our! minds; His pierced feet should I guide our steps; His death-si- i lenced lips must command ours for speech ... * If Christ is the Master of our body this will show itself in certain definite ways. We shall do all we can to preserve our health and strength by exercise, diet, and refraining from foods and stimulants that are harmful get any “snowballs”. But his stock went down a hundred per cent with us kids, and he was never forgotten but always re membered as a measly old skin flint. Remember now? THE WEST—This column from time to time in its items of Westicana, has recorded some of the curious, humorous and to-the-point epitaphs that may be seen on tombstones in the various Boot Hjlls throughout 1 the West. Here is one from Boot Hill, in Dodge City, Kan sas, about a certain ambitious Joe who ran for sheriff, andj who later met his own downfall! running in the opposite direc tion: Shoot ’em up Joe.

If Christ be the Master of our bodies we shall present them to Him for service our strength will be dedicated to be spent in whatever manner He directs. Too often we spend our youth in the devil’s ser vice, wear-out our bodies, and present the worn-out wrecks to God. He wants our best; “Give : of your best to the Master, give | of the strength of your youth.” If Christ is the Master of our bodies we shall learn to exer cise self-denial, which is the highest form of human chal-j lenge. “If any man come as-j ter me, let him deny himself ...” The modern cult of un-l limited self-expression is noth-' ing but paganism come back toS life.

It’s thor oughly fascinating, easy riding, educational. For the most part, it's not built up for the tour ist trade which. I suppose, makes it even more charming. There are a few motels and restaurants, but very few and the ones we saw would be hard put to compare with those we have in Edenton. However, the scenery is beautiful with Pam lico Sound on one side, the At- 1 lantic Ocean on the other. At a certain point the sound emp ties into the ocean, and the sight of the ocean waves breaking into an entirely sepa rate body of water is really worth seeing. Incidentally, it’s also fun to watch the gulls chase after the ferryboats in hopes of finding a generous soul with some Joqd. Thejj- grace and beauty is a beautiful sight in itself, and the way they swoop down for the food tossed at them makes a picture of rare beauty. I was wondeiing what they’ll do when the ferries ai , replaced by bridges. So far as! the sights are concerned, one can’t help but learn as they # HELPFUL INVESTMENT SERVICES .
