THOMAS Immanuel Baptist Church GOODBYE, DEATH! 1 Take your Bible, please, and open it to Genesis | Chapter 5. Here we see that all of them had one thing in common. They all died. Some of them could have been rich and some could have been poor, some good people, seme bad, but they all died. Notice that none of them lived 1,000 years because 1,000 years is as one day with the Lord. We see that death is our enemy and sin, when it is finish ed, brings forth death. When Jesus died for our sins, you and me, He paid the price and now we can say goodbye, death. In the resurrection Jesus over came death and He lives. The saints that die today wil 1 soon be with their Savior. I’d like to ask you, “Are you ready to meet your Maker? Will it be Heaven or Hell? If . you aren’t saved on this side while you are alive, there are no chances on the other side. Christ is the answer. Won’t you take Him now before it is too late?” “The Bible says: “The last enemy that shall be destroyed is death.” I Corinthians 15:^6. Taylor Theatre EDENTON, N. C.

New York—Annual Give away Totals a Cool Half Million: More than a half million Scriptures were distributed free in 1966 to American servicemen and women here and abroad, it was reported at the 151st annual meeting of the American Bible Society on May 11 at the Plaza HoteL New York ABS Notes Inflation: Today the Am erican Bible Society spends upwards of $200,000 annually giving Scriptures to American servicemen and women, according to a report presented at the 151st annual ABS meeting May 11 at the Plaza Ho tel. When the society first presented Scriptures to military personnel 150 years ago, the total cost was $55.25 for supplying 65 Bibles to the crew of the USS Adams. New York Dollars and Census: The number of Scriptures (38,981,620) dis tributed by the American Bible Society in the United States during 1966 alone, would provide more than one-fifth of the population of the United States with the printed Word. This incurred a distribution cost of $1,864,672. These fig ures are included in a re port which was presented at the 151st annual meet ing of the American Bible Society on May 11 at the Plaza Hotel. Let’s Go To Church Sunday Sunday School Lesson TRANSFORMED BY CHRIST International Sunday School Lesson for June 4 Memory Selection: “What things are gain to me, those I counted loss for Christ.”—Philip pians 3:7. Lesson Text: Acts 9:1-31. In today’s lesson we are concerned with the transformation conversion to Christ’s ways will bring to our lives. To confirm this fact, we have only to look to the story of the conversion of Saul. Saul, the persecutor, became the persecuted. Even though he had been converted, he was re luctantly accepted by the disciples, for they were distrustful of his intent. Saul, however, had one ally—Barnabas. Bar nabas, trusted and respected by all, believing Saul to be genuine in his professions of faith, ranged himself on his side, and stayed there tenaciously. Such is the fellowship of man. Paul preached before both Jews and Gentiles; j he knew no boundaries of race or creed, for he believed the Word to be universal. Like Christ, he sought out the excluded ones, for (like Christ) he saw this was where his work lay. The story j of Saul affirms the innate ability to change ; that lies in everyone. Thus Paul preached before Gentiles, as well j as Jews. The Christian community of believers was—in Paul’s eyes—a fellowship. The age- I old distinctions which separated Jews and Gen- j tiles, to Paul, was unimportant, for Christ was (and is) universal. In reviewing Paul’s character, we -see that j pride was removed from his makeup. Saul was i somewhat notorious for his arrogance; the adop tion cf the name “Paul” was, perhaps, synono mous of the change that had come about in this man; for Paul was known for his teachings, which was tempered, always, with humanity. Humility became Paul; convicted of his wrong doing, he repented and surrendered his life to the service of Christ—whom he had hitherto been persecuting. Indeed, in the story of Saul (or Paul) there lies a lesson for everyone who would proclaim himself a Christian, for in Paul’s attributes— his moral character, his refinement, his prestige and popularity among the people of his times— all these were telling weapons !n the struggle to bring Christ’s message to the people. But, as we study the story of his conversion, we realize that all these fine characteristics were not enough to swing the pendulum. We realize that to these attributes it was necessary to add the ingredients of faith, unconditional surrender of the will, the yeasts of total com mitment and total obedience, before the sum total of this man was worthy of Christ. We live in a time of changing mores, and we are apt to conform to those standards, for man is strongly endowed with the herd instinct. Continued on Page 14 BELK - TYLER’S EDENTON’S SHOPPING CENTER W.
