of American society today is
that they forget too easily.
They suffocate the issue at
hand with too little effort for
their own good. Who or
what force can rekindle the
issue again? The answer lies
within the people themselves
—those who stand up and
voice their concern in a logi
cal manner. Freedom of
speech we have, and it will
be used and abused. But
what privilege isn’t? Our
government rests in the pow
er of the people, and the
power of the people can not
function without freedom of
speech.
The author quoted two
Biblical passages and asked
“if these people care so much
for loving everyone, why
must they show their love in
such a violent manner?”
Flip through the pages of
the Family of Man until you
get to the war pictures, where
the theory that war is the
strongest love one can ever
express is put forth for those
interested.
Furthermore, as an added
note of interest, I would like
the author to consider my
emphasis on the Roman Em
pire, as I have considered his
upon Russia and the evils of
communism. Rome fell be
cause of her insatiable con
quest for expansion and oc
cupation of foreign lands.
In relation to Cambodia, the
author speculated that “more
than likely, the enemy will
be forced to make a speedy
retreat to higher ground.”
The latest news reports give
the Americans hope for pos
session of perhaps one-half
of the area involved. Who is
retreating? Maybe June 30
can help us make a final de
cision.

ROSEMARY HOLMES
Growing Future
Seen For Farms
‘There is a growing tu
ture for agriculture in the'
Southeast in spite of the'
cost-price squeeze, high in-1
terest rates and mounting la- j
bor problems facing farmers, j
growers and ranchers,” ac- j
cording to L. Gary Taylor, j
branch manager of the Fed- j
eral Land Bank Association
of Ahoskie. This was cne of |
the topics of the annual con- j
ferencc held recently for di
rectors and managers of Fed
eral Land Bank Associations
at the Marriott Motor Hotel,
Atlanta, Ga
“As southeastern farms
grow larger, there is an in
creasing demand .for larger
amounts of credit, as farm
ers are substituting capital for
labor,” Taylor explained. |
| “However, our associations!
j have the people and tools to j
(meet the increasing needs of
j farmers for credit on a sound,
, productive and constructive
I basis.”
The Ahoskie association is.
I one of the 46 farmer-owned j
Land Bank Associations which j
make and service long-term |
loans for the Federal Land!
Bank of Columbia, S. C. The
bank now has over 42,000 {
loans outstanding in the!
amount of $671 million with I
farmers, growers and ranch-.
ers in Florida, Georgia and
the Carolinas—the four states ,
served by the bank.
Officials of the Ahoskie as- |
sociation attending the con
ference were A. L. Wiggins of;
Ahoskie, general manager; ’
Frank W. Hollowell of Eliza- 1
beth City, vice president; M.
B. Johnson of Pendleton, di
rector; H. O. Edwards of
Ahoskie, director.
The Ahoskie association
handles the making and ser
vicing of loans for the Land
Bank in Chowan, Perquimans,
Pasquotank, Camden, Curri
tuck, Gates, Hertford, Bertie

lof the association offices in i
Ahoskie and Elizabeth City.
Make Going To Church A Habit
THE CHRISTIAN HOPE
International Sunday School Lesson lor June 28
Memory Selection: “I heard a great voice out
of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God
is with men, and He will dwell with them, and
they shall be His people, and God Himself shall
be with them, and be their God.”—Revelation
21:3.
Lesson Text: Revelation 21:1 to 22:5.
As we study our lesson for today, we must be
ever mindful of the fact that we are not exempt
from the curelties and hardships of life and the
world, but we have a sustaining power in our
faith,, and hope in redemption and life ever
lasting, as secured for us by Christ on the cross.
The Book of Revelation was written at a time
when Christianity was newborn, when those who
professed belief in its concepts were undergoing
persecution at the hands of its foes. The Book,
written in the beautifully, flowery language we,
as students of the Bible, have come to know so
well, was intended to bring a heartening note of
hope and ultimate victory to those who were
oppressed and faltering in the face of seemingly
insurmountable odds.
Written in a time of great confusion, it is
somewhat appropriate that we study it today,
for is not our world confused beyond measure,
here and now? With modern-day transportation
the world has, indeed grown small; the young,
up-coming generation seems bent on challenging
the mores and precepts of their elders; a “new
morality” is making itself felt in many a home
across the nation. “LSD”—“pot”—these are be
coming almost household words. Strikes and
“sit-ins” are commonplace; the college campuses
have became—instead of a place of education
and learning, veritable battlegrounds, with vio
lence almost automatically erupting at the drop
of a hat.
We question: Is this all so vastly different
from the ancient sins—money-changing in the
temple, idolatry and the free-wheeling life in
dulged in by the Romans and the Israelites
which eventuaUy lead to God’s chastisement, as
set forth in the Old Testament?
•How desperately we, today, need the assuring
words of the Book of Revelation!
“In the world ye shall have tribulation; but
be of good cheer; I have overcome the world,”
said Jesus. (John 16:33).
In studying our passages for today, by the
simple expedient of substituting a few words, we
can certainly take heart. The “new Jerusalem”
(the perfect city) is the fellowship of man. It
shall remain impervious to that which is evil, or
disruptive. The necessary articles of man’s sus
tenance are there—the water of life, and the
tree of life. Deliverance from suffering is there;
(note particularly Revelation 21, verse 4). And,
in Revelation 22, also, verse 2, we read that the
leaves of the tree of life “were for the healing
of the nations.”
In Revelation we no longer have a temple, but
a God-inhabited society. There will be no need
of the sun and the moon for light. God and His

that lights your child's face SHHHHHHr
We've heard to much about the effect! of insecurity on the life of
a child! It seems urgent to find a picture of security . . . that elusive ?
ideal that parent, want to provide but can never be sure they have.
Notice the importance of the light in our picture. It doesn’t really
come from that fatherly hand.• Someone else has provided the light m
which links father and .on. The father merely .tood in that light . . . W
and held his son’s hand!
Sunday Father’. Day in hundred, of thousands of churches,
earnest fathers will stand in the Light. With their »ns they’ll worship
God . . . experience again the spiritual understanding of life. See the flf
brightness of that true security reflected in youthful eyes. , --
