I men tioned that to the cat and he thought I said claws and at tack. When the door opened he went out a thousand miles a minute with me out in front. The problem of sin is not just a black cat superstition. It is a moral disease that roots in the mind and heart. It works through the imag ination, and the thoughts and the affection. It is deeper than mere act. We have thought to cure it by being kind to the sinner and by making him happy on the way to destruction. The soul of improvement is the im provement of the soul, and there is one Doctor who can administer a grace that is greater than all our sin. Our isms and schisms have misled us. Our Salvation is a Per son. Date Is Set For PSAT Test Junior students who plan to attend college, three or four year nursing schools, military academies and col lege military programs should plan to take the Preliminary Scholastic Aptitude Test (iPSAT) on October 24 in the John A. Holmes High School cafeteria. The PSAT is a two-hour ve.sion of the College Board Sc’ olast c Aptitude Test (SAT). This test will famili arize the student as to what to expect on the SAT in the spring or fall of the senior year. The test attempts to measure verbal and mathema tical abilities essential for college work. A guidance bullet'n con cerning the test has been given students in Holmes School. Several “Bulletins of Information” which describe test samples have been given to homeroom teachers for the students interested. There will be a fee of $1.50 per test.

(Rate) Manning Question—ln trying to com municate with a friend who has just experienced the loss of a loved one, should you talk about the deceased? Answer Authorities agree that in communicating with the bereaved you should not hesitate to talk about the de ceased in fact it is the right thing to do. Talk about the person who has died as you knew him in life; talk about his accomplishments, his fam ily, and his hopes but don’t monopolize the conversation for people in sorrow need to talk and they need you to listen. Question —What is the max imum amount of burial allow ance payable for a veteran who dies while hospitalized in a VIA hospital? Answer—Tor a ve;eran who dies while properly hospitaliz ed in a VA hospital, a maxi mum of $250 is allowed to ward funeral and burial ex penses. In addition, the VA will defray cost of transpor tation of the body to place of THE ONE HE GAVE! By MARTIN LYNN PRIVOTT (In Vietnam) Is there no end to His ability to mend? Will another sea be saved? Will there be food for the ones who are good? Is it enough just to be brave? Can we not feel out our own special doubt? Won’t the torn roads of hope be paved? The questions are heard—even the absurd! And the answers—are the ones He gave? Is there no end to this war-torn world? Will there ever again be peace? Will there be families rejoined in love? Is it too much to ask and hope? Why do we have to hate—to debate? Can we keep up our heart-filled hopes? The belief Is there—even though bare! And the answer—YES!—is the One He gavel Report From Washington Very little legislative ac tion occurred during the past week. Many members are busy with upcoming Novem ber 3 election; this, of course, applies to both Democrats and Republicans. The greatest interest of the week was President Nixon’s “Peace Proposal,” for if it is accepted, it could possibly bring to a conclusion the wars in IndoChina. Certain ly the Vietnam war has been the longest and most costly in our history. Previously I have referred to this as an action of futility, and as a member of Congress, I shall do all possible to assist the President in securing peace at m ctowam ma» iwwfow, worn cmmuu, wa*y, ocwm u, iw burial within the United States (including The Com monwealth of Puerto Rico or the Canal Zone). An allow ance of not more than $25 may be made for outside case for shipment of the body. Question What’s the for mula for determining the amount of the lump-sum death benefit upon the death of a worker insured under Social Security? Answer—Upon the death of an insured worker (Social Se curity) a lump-sum death benefit equal to three (3) times the insured worker’s monthly benefit amount, up to a limit of $255, may be paid to the surviving spouse if he or she was living in the same household with the de ceased worker at the time of death.

C. 27922. the earliest possible moment Among the many tragedies associated with the Vietnam war has been the deplorable treatment of our American prisoners of war. One can hardly appreciate the sadness and anxiety that exists on the part of the wives and parents of these men, unless they have had the opportunity id discuss this matter with them. Attempts are being made to have a national “Week of Concern for the American Prisoners of War” sometime in November, culminating with a day of prayer. I have been assured by some of those affected in recent months that the American concern which has been ex pressed to Hanoi in growing numbers, has resulted in more frequent correspond ence. Os local interest is a meet ing to be held in Myrtle Beech, S. C., on Monday, Oc tober 19, in which the states of North Carolina, South Carolina and Georgia will be represented to add impetus to the proposal of a coastal cor ridor highway connecting the three states already men tioned. Everyone in Eastern North Carolina is aware of our lack of modern roads. Among other important reas ons for the necessity of an adequate highway is the fact of the existence of many mili tary bases from the Norfolk area, Elizabeth City Coast Guard Base, Cherry Point and Camp Lejeune, as well as in South Carolina. In case of emergencies when men and . materials would have to be moved rapidly by land, this •ould be of the greatest im portance to the security of the East Coast. Also last week, the House : and Senate conferees agreed i on the controversial provi sion of the new Farm Bill. \Make Going To Church A HgMt STUDYING THE BIBLE International Sunday School Lesson for Oct 18 Memory Selection: ‘Teach me, O Lord, the way of thy statutes; and 1 shall keep it unto the end. Give me understanding, and I shall keep thy law; yea, I shall observe it with my whole heart."—Psalm 119:33-34. Lesson Text: Nehemiah 8:1-8; Psalm 119:9418; Acts 17:40-12; I Corinthians 12:31 to 14:1; II Timothy 1-2; 8314-17. In today’s lesson we begin a new unit: “Helps to a Maturing Faith.” It is no accident, there fore, that, in the beginning, our text deals with the studying of the Bible. To fully grasp a subject, one must know the right way to study, and if one is in any doubt about this, ask any high school student who has aspired to a college education. The ability to study, the knowledge of the right way to go about research and study, has made or broken many an aspiring young person intent on a spe cific career. It haa made them if the ability to study was present; It has broken them if it was not How much more important is this ability when it is implied to our immortal souls! An integral part of our study today is Psalm 119. Through this passage, as throughout all the Scriptures, one gains an inspiring insight into the nature of the one true God. One be come more acutely aware of the Divine purpose, as related to mankind. We cannot afford to overlook one great salient fact—and that is that the men and women who have proved to be the backbone of the Christian faith throughout all the ages have been assidu ous students of the Bible. They read, they in terpreted, they learned and they put the knowledge and insight they had gained from Ra pages into practice in their lives. There certainly is guidance and comfort in its pages—inspiring words that will lift the student to hitherto undreamed of heights; words of com fort and reassurance that will stand* he who studies in good stead, in times of stress. What other book serves mankind so well? From it he can gain knowledge and wisdom; he can glean a guidance for living; he acquires moral cleansing, and spiritual joy. What riches lie between its pages! From it he can gain an undreamed of strength of spirit in times of ad versity. From it he acquires hope for the fu ture. Truly, the power of the Scriptures must not be taken lightly. The Bible is, indeed, a Holy Book. It was God-inspired, it was God-prompted. Through out the ages many things have changed in this world of ours. There is not, however, any single mis fortune or any single joy that can befall mankind that does not have its counterpart in the Bible. Man’s needs never change—especially the needs of his spiriL And the answers are to be found in this one great Book. To find them, however, one must not approach its study lightly;; to fully understand its message n. m u Continued on Page S ®(HTyler Your Happy Shopping Store W. E.
