If it should be cloudy, the Knights can jump from as low as 7,000 feet and still perform their stunts. If extreme cloudi ness occurs, they will jump without free - fall from 2,500 feet. Organized in 1959, at Ft. Bragg, the Knights have grown from 13 mem bers to eight officers and 44 enlisted men. Current members have made more than 3,000 static line jumps and 25,000 free falls. All time total for the group is more than 70,000 jumps. The Knights hold 87 of the 128 men’s precision parachuting records estab lished by the Federation Aeronautlque Internation ale. In the past seven years the group has produced two world champions, five U. S. national champs and one Helms Foundation sport parachute athlete of the year. The Knights won the first gold medal in parachuting for the United States and current ly they hold more than 200 trophies. The first and only U. S. national champ to win that title three consecutive years was a Knight. The team was formed to provide a nucleus of skill ed sport parachutists. Its mission is to promote Army prestige and esprit de corps, to conduct re search and development and to enter competitions and demonstrations. j DELTT PLEDGE HATTIESBURG, Miss.- Recent pledges to Greek organizations at the Uni versity of Southern Missis sippi, Hattiesburg, include Sanfra Ange of Edenton pledging Delta Delta Delta.

SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON LIVING IN HOPE •» - , . £ International Sunday School Lesson for Sept. J 9 Memory Selection: “Behold, I create new [ heavens and a new earth; and the former shall not be remembered, nor come into mind.”— Isaiah 65:17. r Lesson Text: Isaiar 61; Luke 2:22-32, . Our lesson today centers around one of the . greatest gifts God has, given mankind—HOPE. We would be in s&d sifailS, indeed, if we did not have a ray of hope to cling to in tiraag i- misfortune. Present circumstances would be un r bearable, if we could not hope that things wovdd be better in the future. And perhaps the Jewish nation, before, during and after the Exodus, is f the most graphic illustration of the part hope plays in the life of mankind; certainly, she had to cling to hope tenaciously, or she would not , have survived. r Her hope was of greater scope than purely personal, individual hopes; it was sanctified, be cause it concerned the prophesies of Christ’s ad r vent on earth to save suffering humanity. And Isaiah, prophet of the Exile, assiduously kept this hope alive in the hearts of the people, with n his picture of the future and What that future r held. Indeed, the well-known “Servant passages” have their beginning in the Book of Isaiah; they presented the concept of the nation of Israel as the Servant of God—a servant who suffered, but in the end was triumphant. A lofty calling for , a small nation. Little wonder that Israel fell r short of this ideal time and time again. But God was not finished; He never is, in His uni versal plans for mankind. One who was to be \ the personification of the Suffering Servant was tc come on earth—Jesus of Nazareth, who dedi cated His life and His ministry to the hope , that was portrayed by Isaiah in his picture of r the future. Once again we are struck by the fact that God respects the will of man, giving him, time and ’ time again, a chance to redeem himself from his sins. He never arbitrarily orders man’s way of life, for if He did, man’s God-given right of !, choice would be destroyed. Thus, the limita p tions of God has placed upon himself open the way of sin and disobedience on the part o i His children. But—although our eyes cannot always k see it, nor our brains comprehend His ways, r God—given time—attains His purpose. If we are in any doubt of this, at this point, we have , only to realize how true this has been in the . realization of the hopes of ancient Israel in the coming of Christ—their long-promised Messiah. Jesus, bom in lowly circumstances many cen ■ turies ago, lived among the people, was crucified, ’ and resurrected—Jesus, today is the God-given gift of HOPE to mankind, i Faith in a risen and living Christ is, indeed, the foundation of hope for mankind. And the best expression of that hope* and that faith is Continued on Page 5 ! BELK - TYLER’S . j 1 EDENTON’S j SHOPPING CENTER W. E. SMITH GENERAL MERCHANDISE “Rocky Hock” PHONE 221-4031 EDENTON M.
