Lading this dlialoitttßttsqs Rev. Dr. Eu g.ene A. NiSa, ABS trans lations secretary, and Paul A. Hopkins, ABS overseas secretary. Dr. Nida also explained the Advisory Council theme, “God’s Word For a New Age— The Book For New Read ers.” This is phase one of a five year plan of the United Bible Societies de signed to point up the urgent need for Scripture distribution to keep pace with the population and literacy explosions in emerging countries as well as here at home. Mr. Hopkins also discussed the critical need for expanding Scripture distribution and translation in almost 200 different languages and dialects of Africa. Other speakers included Rev. Dr. Robert T. Taylor, an ABS general secretary, whose subject was “The Importance of the Advis ory Council,” and Rev. Dr. James Z.

Other highlights of the Advisory Council included special recognition by the Armed Forces Chaplains’ Commission of 150 years of Scripture donations by the ABS to men and women of the armed forces of the United States and their al lies. A similar ceremony was held in observance of 25 years of ABS service to the Boy Scouts of Am erica. Referring to Mr. Ma konnen’s appearance, Mr. Madsen noted that “the name Ethiopia developed from the tradition that Ethiops, the son of the Biblical Cush, was the father of Aksumawi. The sons of Aksumawi are known as ‘The Fathers of Aksum,’ the ancient Sa baean Empire established in the north of the coun try.” He also pointed out that “His Excellency is the first ambassador of his country to be appointed with cab inet ministerial rank. This testifies to the importance Ethiopia attaches to the UN and to the role she feels bound to play during coming years.” Highlights of his career which began in 1951, when he was at tache in the Ethiopian Ministry of Foreign Af fairs include: Member of the Ethiopian delegation on the Suez Canal; Ethio pian Ambassador to the Court of St. James and Minister of Commerce and Industry. In the last post he headed numerous Ethi opian delegations, notably to the Trade and Develop ment Conference in Ge neva and the annual ses- Concluded on Pag* 7 Let's Go To Church Sunday SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON CAN THERE BE PEACE ON EARTH? International Sunday School Lesson for Dec. 10 Memory Selection: “He shall judge among many people, and rebuke strong nations afar off; and they shall beat their swords into plow shares, and their spears into pruning-hooks; na tion shall not lift up a sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more.”—Micah 4:3. Lesson Text: Micah 4. In today’s lesson we shall study the contri butions Christianity has made in xhe past to wards peace, and, bearing this in mind, we shall examine the part it can play in making this troubled world a more peaceful place for all nations in the years ahead. God intended man to be the salt dt the earth and the light of the world. Yet, as we scan the headlines in the newspapers, as we listen to the radio and newscasts on television, we cannot fail to realize that man has fallen far short of his destiny. But we cannot afford to sit around and be moan our fate; nor can we afford to lose heart for the fight that lies ahead of us. For it is not thus that we will put an end tobloodshed, or fight aggression wherever it rears its ugly head. We must rather summon the weapons of courage, of justice, of concern for our fellow men. Great men have contributed to world peace in the past; great men are contributing to world peace even as these words are written. But the spirit of their greatness must not march alone. It must be backed by every true Christian in all the lands—far flung though they may be. Before we give way to despondency at world disorder, we would do well to remind ourselves that Christian principles have wrought many miracles throughout the centuries. It was Chris tian concern that did away with slavery, con quered the evils of child labor, and raised wom ■ anhood from the level of mere chattels to their rightful place in our modern-day world. Christian commitment is the key. Commit ment of the church in leading its people into righteousness through the preaching of the Gos pel; commitment of the people that make up that church in putting the ideals of Christianity into action. World peace will only become a fact when every man has peace in his heart—towards him self, his fellow men, and other nations. This “personal peace” is a very necessary ad junct to the dedicated Christian. Without it, he is in no condititon to tackle the larger issues of peace, where they concern other human be ings, other countries. So—let us attain this blessed state within our selves; then let us go to the peace table, with reason and justice, kindness and concern, rather than reaching for weapons that will destroy our enemies—and ourselves.

ALL FOR THE CHURCH The Church is the greatest factor on earth for the building of character and good citizenship. It is a storehouse of spiritual values. Without a strong Church, neither democracy nor civiliza tion can survive. There are four sound reasons why every person should attend services regularly and support the Church. They are: (1) For his own sake. (2) For'his children's sake. (3) For the sake of his community and nation. (4) For the sake of the Church itself, which needs his moral and material support. Plan to go to church regularly and read your Bible daily. Copyright 1967 Keister Advertising Service. Inc., Slrasburg, Va.

The Chowan Herald _ If someone asked you which you would rather have for a pet, a leopard or a pussycat—you would probably think they were crazy. Why? Because to you a pussycat is a soft cuddly animal—a leopard, a ferocious beast of prey. But suppose when you were small, someone had taught you that both ani mals are similar? Then, the question would not seem absurd. So much' depends upon how we’ve been taught A mistaken interpretation of a particular word can distort our thinking. Take for instance, the word Christian. Some people think of a Christian as a fanatical do-gooder. Others see him as a hypocrite, praying loudly on Sundays while ignoring religious responsibility. Still others, know of the spiritual riches to be found in following the examples of Jesus. Your church teaches and interprets God’s truths. The spiritual values you learn there can illuminate your entire life. Edenton Construction Co., Ine. GENERAL CONTRACTORS PHONE 433-3313 M. BROAD ST.
