But that is all I am going to say about the weather; for, about the time this sees print, it will be warm again that is, winter warm. !: .

Primitive conditions pre vailed over most of the state this past week. With no electric power most of us reverted to oil lamps (those who still had them), and with water pipes froz en we “toted” water from wherever we could find it. Cooking was done on any kind of stove or fireplace available. I was lucky in one respect: I still have three kerosene oil lamps. I call them my “hurricane lamps”; and believe me they have alleviated the situation more than once. I “toted” water from The Herald office and cooked on a one-burner oil stove.

Let’s Go To Church Sunday SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON BECOMING A NEW PERSON International Sunday School Lesson for Jan. 21 Memory Selection: “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.”—John 3:16. Lesson Text: John 2:13 to 3:36. The aim of the lesson we are studying today strives to bring home to each and every person the fact that he who accepts Jesus Christ as his personal Saviour becomes a born again—a new person—and assures himself of entrance into God’s Kingdom and Eternal Life. The background for our lesson is set in Jeru salem, where Jesus had journeyed for the ob servance of the Feast of the Passover. And as was His way, Jesus never let an opportunity go by without teaching and instructing the people— all kinds of people—whenever and wherever He could. He taught by parables and “signs.” He was not always clearly understood, but He taught in such away that his hearers had to use their reasoning powers to understand what He was saying, and—eventually—come to Him for fur ther instruction and explanations. Thus it was that He gradually built around Him the nucleus of the little band that devoted itself to travelling and bringing the Gospel to foreign lands. Such a man was Nicodemus. A member of the Sanhedrin, highly esteemed, Nicodemus took great risks when he came to Jesus by night for further instruction. Impressed by Jesus’ cleans ing of the Temple, which evidenced His author ity over His Father’s house, Nicodemus wanted to hear more from the lips of this man of such obvious authority—and became so convinced of the superiority of this new teaching, that he later became a disciple. He was born again! This was, indeed, a radical change in the life of Nicodemus. He had believed—as did all Or thodox Jews of that time—that the Kingdom of God was theirs by right of physical birth, since they were God’s chosen people. It took his en counter with Christ to open his eyes to the fact that the only key was a spiritual re-birth—one which embraced repentance and acceptance. And so it was with the act of baptism: John the Baptist, as he was known, baptized with water, and participation in this rite signified the participant’s willingness to accept the spiritual baptism he would receive at the hands of the coming Messiah. One was the beginning, the other the completion. We are too prone, today, to be overly con cerned with earthly things, and overlook the in tangible things of the spirit. And yet—the work- of th%t unsegi 4 yntouehatye “spirit” of ours are ever before us, {n our words and deeds, for others to see and judge. Certainly our understanding is much too lim ited for us to fully probe and understand this ethereal, living thing which dwells inside our flesh. Yet we cannot deny that it is there—that Concluded on Pago 7 BELK - TYLER'S EDENTON’S SHOPPING CENTER W. E. Smith GENERAL MERCHANDISE “Rocky Hock” PHONE 221-4031 EDENTON M. G. Brown Co., Inc.

You didn’t stay home because it was raining or snowing, or .because you had a slight headache. You went—by horse-drawn wagons or carriages—a much harder trek than it is today. Maybe because it was harder, people appreciated it more. Maybe in that era of pre-modern conveniences people had a better sense of values. They seemed to know, at any rate, what was really important. Os course, the church is just as necessary today as it was in Aunt Miran da’s day. Certainly the complexities of our present generation make life’s prob lems seem increasingly abundant.
