spotted and victorious lives.
Easter, 1962
Easier, the principal ecclesiastical event of
the year, gets its name from Eostre, a Teu
tonic goddess whose festival was celebrated
in the spring. Her name was given to the
Christian festival, as it was she, according to
legend, who opened the portals of Valhalla to
receive the White God and the Sun God,
representing purity and light.
The history of Easter, which is a symbol of
the Resurrection to us, is intertwined with
many religious customs and observances dat
ing back hundreds of years and before the
time of Jesus Christ. However, Christians
have utilized various customs and traditions
to create and color this observance in the real
spirit of Jesus’ resurrection.
The Easter egg, for example, came to be
associated with Easter because eggs were for
bidden to be eaten during Lent and on Easter
Sunday they were traditionally served. The
Easter egg, though, had dated back to the
Egyptians and Persians, and also the Greeks
and Romans, who ate eggs annually in their
spring festivals. Eggs have long since been
connected with new life, as was the rabbit, a
most prolific animal.
Jesus arose from the dead on the first day
of the week and Gentile Christians have held
ever since that Easter should be observed on
Sunday. Jewish Christians for many years
observed the day on the date of the Pass
over, regardless of whether it was Sunday or
not.
In any event, it is appropriate that Easter
comes in the spring, when the renewal of life
is so apparent about us all. Sunrise services
in our churches—an observance of recent ori
gin in most churches—symbolizes the Resur
reettion at sunrise. Today this religious
practice is observed in practically all of the
churches as a symbol of hope, inspiration and
faith.
Technological Advances
The world has shrunk. Modern transpor
tation and communication have seen to that.
This has imposed many a problem ujx>n all
peoples. Ilut it has also brought advantages.
We can. for instance, send the products of
our shops and factories almost anywhere—
swiftly, safely, economically and with a
minimum of trouble. REA Express—the new
name for the long-established Railway Ex
press Agency—describes in a most interesting
leaflet the progress that has been made in
shipment methods. It offers a world thru
\Vay service at published rates from, and to
interior points in 50 countries, which can be
arranged by a telephone call to the nearest
agent. It uses all the transport agencies—
ships, planes, trains. One contact does the
complete job, with the one carrier assuming
responsibility all the way from start to fin
ish. And REA also offers containerized ser
vice. to fit particular needs, which eliminates
the expense of export packing.
This is Just one example of the immense
technological advances we are making. If
the nations of the world coukl only progress
politically as fast as the enterprises of the
world are progressing economically, this
jvould be a magnificent age indeed!
The man who does not attend to his duties
promptly, eventually has few duties to at
tend to.
! Home may be man’s castle, but some men
enter their castle so very cautiously and
quietly.
Kind, sincere words will take the average
man or woman a long way along the journey
Os life.
Hard work hasn’t killed nearly as many
people in this country as one might suppose.

fdeard & Segh
Byßuf
Just returning late last week from a hvriey
moon spent in Florida, this has been a very
hectic week so far as getting out a paper is
concerned. Being off the job for a wfeek a
fellow loses track of the news and by taking
it easy for a week, it’s sort of hard to get
back in harness again. But since returning
home I’ve been showered with so many con
gratulations and best wishes that I’ve taken a
new lease on life and will, no-doubt, be bet
ter able to tackle the daily grind of getting
out The Herald. At any rate, I want to
thank my many friends, as well as those of
the Missus, who have offered their congratu
lations.
—: o
There’s only one trouble with my marriage
rnd that is that another fishing enthusiast will
be on the scene. The Missus is an avid fish
erwoman, so that with good weather which
we’re supposed to have any spare time will,
no doubt, find us both on the creeks here
about.
o
And speaking about traveling, here's some
advice for the smoker—take along your smok
ing tobacco and cigarettes. Stopping at a
store in South Carolina or Georgia (who
could remember while on a honeymoon?) I
asked for two packs of my favorite pipe to
bacco. Placing a 50-cent piece on the coun
ter,, the clerk said T needed two more pen
nies. “What for?” I asked. “Sales tax,” was
the reply. So then I asked the price of the
tobacco, and was informed that it was 25
cents a package. The price in Edenton is 15
cents which made my wedding trip. a little
more expensive. And incidentally, the price
of cigarettes is 30 cents per pack.
o
Lee Sutton, a former Edentonian now liv
ing at Lucama, dropped in the office a short
time Monday. He said he came to Edenton
to renew his driving license but that the driv
er examiner’s office was closed. Methihks
he used some of the time making a survey of
the fishing holes in this neck of the woods,
for time was that just about every time I’d
go fishing I’d run up with Lee—and he’d us
ually have some fish. But he never would
acquaint me with the places he caught the
fish. Os course, most of the
say they caught ’em at Ihe fish hatchery
bridge. There’s been a whale of a lot of
fish “caught” at that bridge, if you ask me.
o
Maybe the boys who work in The Herald
office get mixed up on the seasons. While
discussing what season they like best one of
’em the other day said he likes autumn best.
But another chimed in saying he liked “dog
wood” best.
o
Clarence Shackelford was busy banding out
cigars at the Red Men’s meeting Monday
night, for he became the pappy of another
son Saturday afternoon. The brand of cigars
he handed out was rather appropriate—■'New
comer. Anyway, Shack said Monday night
that his wife and baby were doing fine but
that daddy was about dead.
o
Airs. Earl Carpenter, now living in Cali
fornia, was among those who last week re
newed her subscription to The Herald. Said
Mrs. Carpenter: “ . .-. we aren’t Edenton
ians but enjoy reading about the friends we
made while at the Edenton Air Station for
4!l. years. I would enjoy hearing from any
one who has a minute to write a few lines.”
o
Then another letter coming from Virginia
had this in part to say: “Edenton will al
ways be very dear to my heart, but places
and people change with time and what is past
is past. Some of my happiest memories and
some of my saddest are there. I guess the
people I know there just don’t make news,
but I will come back from time to time to see
them. Please discontinue The Herald. For
a while it was fun but became too “frustrat
ing.”
I see from a news story that the Negroes
have called off the boycott of Edenton mer
chants. To say the least, the boycott was
not pleasant from any viewpoint and that a
more pleasant way can be found to settle any
differences which might exist between the
two races.
o
Don’t be surprised to hear bells sound to
day (Thursday). “Bells Across the Nation
Day” is being observed and m a proclama
tion Mayor John Mitchener requests all bells
and chimes to ring out for a period of four
minutes beginning at 1 o’clock this afternoon.
“I request all citizens to respond to the ring
ing of these bells,” said the Mayor. “Not as
to a call to arms, but by a massive voluntary
demonstration that America is already armed

tion; by a tremendous reaffirmation of our

GOD'S UNFOLbING PURPOSE
By SUZANNE (le DIETRICH
Th>- VVt'Sl minster Press. Wither
spoon Buildlnc. Philadelphia 7. $1.50.
From time to time, .1 meet
people who have a genuine in
terest in studying the Bible, but
have never learned that a fruit
ful study of the Book of Books
is far more than a casual or
even careful reading.
Miss do Dietrich, born in Al- ,
sace, France, studied at the U.ni
versit.y of Luzanne, was resident ,
lecturer in Bible study at the,
Ecumenical Lnstitute, offers real I
help in “God’s Unfolding Pur
pose” to the people who want to !
find away to satisfying and use- 1
ful Bible study.
Beginning with the Creation :
and the Fall, the reader is led 1
through the unfolding of time, 1
the covenant at Sinai, the Prrm-..i
ised Land- the Exile and the';
Remnant of Israel. Then Part
Two gives a very satisfying
study of (he four Gospels as
they relate the accoust of the
Incarnation. Part Three deals
with the Last Times or’ the
Times of the Church; the be
ginning of the reign of Christ,
and the birth of the Church, the
mystery of the Church, the end
of ¥ime, and the “New Heavens
and a new Earth.”
Each chapter begins with a
helpful summary, which enables
the reader to really digest the
subject matter of the Book. As
has been said before, “the book
cuts across all denominational
lines.’’
The author’s method of trans
ferring the true teacher’s aim to
the printed page in such away
as to relate the entire body of
Scripture truth to the ereat “Un
folding Purpose” is really unique.
Ts you want a book that will
help you as .a real guide to the
understanding of the Bible, and
you are willing to follow the
author’s guidance, you will find
this a wonderful source of in
spiration and sound Biblical in
formation.
