Ik By WILBORNE HARRELL
I have had a very frightening j
and shocking thought: The
whole world, and more so, this
nation, is living in a state of
mortal fear. Not necessarily
from the atom bomb; I believe
that we have accepted that as
inevitable and have resigned
ourselves to live with the po
tential threat of extinction. It
is the fear of death from natural
sources that seems to preoccupy
us, as though we are frantically
, trying to stave off the grim
reaper and refusing to accept
the fact that sooner or later
death comes to all of us. Cases
in point: the hectic and fever
ish onslaught against all man
ner of diseases that is taking
place now, to the bewilderment
and perplexity of the ill and
ailing; the flooding of the
medical market with numerous'

:|and dubious wonder drugs,
1 vfrhose only wonder lies in the
fact that we wonder why they
are allowed to be sold, holding
out false hopes to the desperate
who are seeking aid. The emi
nent and distinguished research
ers and scientists in their praise
worthy efforts to combat and
eradicate disease, appear to
have taken a sort of twilight
zone step further and are at
tempting to eradicate death it
self. We should take a calmer
view of the whole problem, con
tinue our fight against disease
but in the light of the fact that
death is ever-present in the
midst of life. And knowing that
death will eventually be the
winner, in spite of the wonder
ful advances of modern medical j
science, tell ourselves, in the
' words of a famous American,
, the only thing we have to fear
. is fear itself.

r PHIL OSOPHER SAYS—Noth
i mg is more useless than one

Here’s a tip from someone who
[ has worn glasses all his life:
, When you remove your glasses
; to clean them, hold them over a
. table or desk top. If they
should slip from your fingers
. they won’t fall all the way to
the floor and probably break.
: Believe me, I learned this little
trick the hard way.
Unless I have lost my ability
, to use a dictionary, I can’t find
the word, beatle, anywhere in
j its pages. Beetle, an insect, is
listed. I am inclined to think
that the word beatle is just an
other form of the word, beatnik.
And speaking of beatles—in the
framework of that spelling and
meaning—Edenton can boast of
a few beatles of her own, play
ing and singing around. The
Starliters, a group of colored
'boys, are currently giving out
with, the beatle sound, and al
though their musicianship needs
a little polishing, I think they
have what it takes' to put them
up there, if they keep on plug
ging.

CHRISTIAN SCIENCE
The Bible Lesson at Christian
Science churches this Sunday
will explore the question from
Psalms (8:3), “What is man, that
thou art mindful of him?"
Golden Text: “God created
man in his own image, in the
image of God created he him”
(Genesis 1:27).
One of the major themes will
be these lines from “Science and
Health with Key to the Scrip
tures” by Mary Baker Eddy:
“The understanding of his spirit
ual individuality makes man
more real, more formidable in
truth, and enables him to con
quer sin, disease, and death”
(p. 317).

j “Oh God, Prove Thyself” 1
y By TERRY JONES /
The great mass of children of
Israel were but a tiny dot on
,the steaming hot desert. Trese
tired people had endured trial
after trial but each time God
had delivered them. First had
been the trouble in Egypt with
Pharoah but God led them from
his greedy hands. Then out on
the open plains of the wilderness
their food supply had vanished
but God actually dropped bread
from Heaven. There just seem
ed to be no end to His powers
and wonder.
But this day finds the Hebrews
presented with a new problem—
no water. Miles and miles of
travel on the blazing desert left
them terribly thirsty but not
so much as a dirty little water
hole was to be found. On and
on they trudged with the sun
burning more with each step.
Finally the children began to
whine and the men began to
grumble under their breath,
“Why had Moses led them out
.here anyway? He should have
known this desert was impossi
ble for a large number of people
to cross. And where was this
God Moses was always talking
about?” As they walked the
murmur of the aggravated peo
ple became even more intense
with each passing hour. Soon
the cry of the entire mass seem
ed to be, “Is the Lord among
us, or not?”
Finally Moses, dreadfully - dis
couraged, fell down in fervent (
prayer. “What shall I do unto

: this people? They be almost
1 ready to stone me,” he cried.
t And once again that patient still
I small voice came with strange
I instructions, “Behold, I will 1
| stand before thee there upon
t the rock in Horeb, and thou
shalt smite the rock and there
shall come water out of it, that
| the people may drink.” And
I Moses strictly followed these or
ders and surely refreshing wa
ter did flow from the rock to
cool Hebrew tongues. (Ex. 17).
Once again the patient Al
! mighty God proved Himself to
■ a doubting people. Many times
r after this He proved Himself but
people never seemed to be I
: satisfied. However, before we
condemn the Hebrews of being
' of little faith we should stop
1 and think about ourselves. The
• same cry of doubt still flows
1 from the lips of modern man,
1 “Oh, God, prove Thyself.” We,
• too, can never seem to receive
enough proof of God’s existence,
1 of His power or of His abound
■ ing love. But I say if we want
power let us turn to the mighty
; universe and stand amazed, ff
we want love let us cast our
doubtful eyes on Calvary. If we
want beauty let us turn to na-

upon us by narrow minds and .

we not cry with the Hebrews, |
