Prayer is a wonderful thing,
it is actually a chance to have
fellowship with God. It is a
chance to pour your troubles out.
God is always ready to listen
to an earnest prayer, and He
is always ready to help us if we
Will let Him and seek His help.
God is a friend to the friend
less. He is a friend to every
one but we must first accept
Him.
We can talk to God anytime
or anywhere. It is more rever
ent to fall on our knees in rev
erence to God, but this is not
always i, possible. In fact Jesus
said not to use vain repetitions
as the heathens do. We should
not seek to make a beautiful
pfflyer for '<o hear, btjt we
should talk to God with earnest
hearts. Jesus said to enter into
thy closet and shut the door. In
other words, shut out the world.
If' we feel the need for prayer
and can’t talk to- our Father in
private we can always shut out
mihds door from the world any
wtiere we may be. Jesus said
if we pray in secret our Father
shall reward us openly.

There’s some agitation for
changing the color of our paper
money. All the comment I can
make on that is, let’s don’t make
our paper bills red. For then
our folding money would be per
petually blushing for shame;
and I ‘don’t blame ’em—for if I
were a dollar bill, I’d blush, too.
Because nowadays I’d consider
myself almost worthless and not
the bill I used to be, when a
dollar bill was a full one hun

PRAYER
By TERRY JONES
14:13-13 if we will ask anything
in His name He will do it. This
seems to be a broad statement
because many times our prayers
seem not to be answered. Jesus
meant if you ask anything in
His name that the Father may
be glorified He will do it. Our
prayers should be for the glori
fication of God. Our prayers
should also be earnest and not
; just something we rattle off not
j coming from our heart.
The first prayer of a sinner
should be, “Oh God, be merciful
|to me a sinner.” Then God will
hear our prayers if we have
| truly received his mercy and
' grace in the Lord Jesus Christ.
Is God satisfied with your
prayers?

he is emboldened by the inva

No compromise with communism, j
homestead exemption in real es
tate not exceeding one thousand ,
dollars.
May a debtor sell or transfer
to another any of the articles
of personal property put aside
as his exemption?
Yes. They lose the quality of
exempt property in the hands
of a third person, being as other
property belonging to such third
person.
When property set apart to the
debtor for his exemption has
been diminished by use or other
cause, is the debtor entitled to
have subsequent allotments of
exempted property?
Yes. The debtor is entitled to
have the full amount of his ex
emption at all times free from
levy and sale by his creditors.
Is the one thousand dollar
homestead exemption in North
Carolina restricted to owners of
land which have a dwelling
thereon?
N 0,., One who owns, only va
cant sots of timber land is en
titled to a homestead exemption.
The one thousand dollar
homestead exemption valuation
was fixed by the North Caro
lina Constitution of 1868. There
are probably few homesteads or
dwellings selling for that price
today. If the debtor owns a
single dwelling valued at more
than one thousand dollars and
no other property, our Supreme
Court has suggested that a por
tion of the house, containing
rooms of sufficient value, to be
set apart as in the allotment of
real estate to a widow.
Is a homestead up to the value
of one thousand dollars exempt
from obligations contracted for
the purchase of the premises?
No. Furthermore, the liens
of laborers and mechanics for
work done on the premises can
not be defeated by the home
stead exemption.
Is a homestead up to the
value of one thousand dollars
A
exempt from sale for taxes?
No. Any property may be
sold for the non-payment of
taxes.
May the children or widow of
a deceased debtor succeed to his
homestead exemption rights?
In certain cases the home
stead exemption rights of a de
ceased debtor may be claimed
by his children during their
minority or by his widow dur
ing her life.
The five hundred dollars per
sonal property exemption ends
with the debtor’s death, and his
children cr widow are not en
titled to have it extended be
yond this period. But under
other provisions of our statutes,
a widow in North Carolina is
entitled to receive from the es
tate of her deceased husband “a
year’s allowance” not exceeding
seven hundred fifty dollars free
from the claims of his creditors;
and children less than fifteen
years of age are entitled to re
ceive two hundred fifty dollars
