Bandon Notebook By Eleanor F. Jackson
By ELEANOR F. JACKSON
For a 30-day month,
September reached into six
different months this year. By
the time it’s over, Bandon
Chapel wIN have had 14
activities. County them: Two
double sessions of church and
Sunday school; three single
sessions; election of board
members; four B. C. W. G.
meetings; one covered dish
supper and a supper for the
Chowan Ruritans. It’s been a
month when many of the
workers, that ever-willing-to
help-group, has had to double up
for those who have taken
belated vacations.
Some who have returned are
the Buntings, the Churches, the
Waters, to name a few. But now
others will be off. In a small
church everyone is missed and
welcomed when they return.
Last Sunday morning G.
Douglas Tise again took over in
his capacity of assistant
superintendent of the Sunday
School. Meredith Barden gave
the opening prayer, Mrs. Gus H.
(Myrtis) Perry played the
organ, Mrs. H. “Trus”
(Margaret) Bunting taught the
seniors and Mrs. G. “Doug”
(Evelyn) Tise, the juniors.
Ushers included R. Carlyle
Gilliam, Fred W. Jolly, Gus H.
Perry and Henry J- Skinner.

Prayers were asked for the
health of the following: R. E.
Bagley, Elbert Beach, Berlynne
Blanchard, Louise B;yrum,
Minnie Fergusen, C. H. Pierce,
Mr. Reynold’s mother, Kir. and
Mrs. Rich, Earl Rowley, Pat
Weston and A. T. Whiteman.
(Mr. Whiteman’s operation on
his eyes was satisfactory. Now
it’s arthritis that’s holding him
down!)
As Air. Tise remarked; “We
have had some soul-searching
lessons this month, which we
would do well to remember.”
These are the titles, all setting
forth the heart of the Gospel of
Jesus, as proclaimed by Paul:
“Paul Speaks to a Divided
Church”, “God’s Wisdom for
Alan’s Folly”, “Unity at the
Lord’s Table”, “Ministers of
Reconciliation” and next week,
“Good News for Sinners.”
It turns out that the Bandon
Chapel Women’s Guild has
changed its plans. They do
expect to meet today
(September 27) in Fellowship
Hall. Even though you read this
after the meeting begins, 11:00
A.M., come if you can, at least
for lunch. It’s this writer’s
alphabetical turn to be hostess
and it won’t come around again
for months and months.
As far as known, Dr. W. J. B.
Livingston will be at Bandon
Chapel on October 7, to preach
one of his always enlightening
sermons. As you probably
know, church begins at 11:00
A.M. IS minutes after Sunday
School classes adjourn.
Communion will be offered and
new members accepted.
October 2, which is the first
Tuesday of the month means
the class meeting at 7:30 P.M.
in Fellowship Hall. Let’s have
the large attendance again that
came last month. It will see the
newly elected officers in action.

Is the day of revivalism past? I
I think not. I believe not. I i
believe that one need look no :
further than the churches in our :
own county to see that ’
revivalism is still a meaningful <
experience and need in the life
of the church. But if one need
look further, let him look at the
great city-wide crusades i
conducted by the Billy Graham :
Association. (
In city after city across the !
globe, Billy Graham has been
used of God to bring renewal in i
the lives of countless thousands i
of Christians. There is
something good gained when ]
people confess their sins before 1
other!.
Revivalism in not dead yet
because the need of revival has
not died. When the need dies
then the cure will also die, but
not before.

Social Security
Administration
News
By DONALD S. MORRIS
Field Representative
. If you’re a student 18-22
getting monthly social security
checks, it’s important to report
any changes in your earnings,
school enrollment, or marital
status.
About 650,000 students 18 and
over get monthly social security
payments because a parent
gets disability or retirement
benefits or has died. They can
continue to get payments to age
22-slightly beyond for
undergraduates—as long as
they remain full-time students I:
and unmarried.
Students getting social
security payments should notify
social security immediately if
they marry, leave school, or
start attending on a part-time
basis. Students must tell us of
such changes so we can stop
their monthly benefits as
required by law.
Social security payments to
students can also be affected by
total yearly earnings from part
time or temporary jobs.
If you’re a student getting
social security payments and
know your earnings for 1973 will
be more than $2,100, you should
report that to social security.
Otherwise, you might get
benefits you’ll have to pay back
later.
Social security payments are
reduced by- sl-for every $2
earned over $2,100 in a year. But
no matter how much you earn
for the year, you get your full
social security payment for any
month in which you neither earn
$175 nor do substantial work in
your own business.
Students getting social
security checks should also
report a transfer from one
school to another.
People with questions about
social security student
payments can get answers by
writing, visiting, or calling any
social security office. The
Elizabeth City Social Security
Office is at 401 S. Dyer Street.
The phone number is 338-3931.

GOOD NEWS FOR SINNERS
International Sunday School
Lesson for September 30,
1973
LESSON TEXT: Romans 1:1
to 2:16.
In this, the continuance of
our studies in “The Gospel
According to St. Paul” we
move from the well-known
Corinthian letters (to people
who were known to the
Apostle, and to a church witty
whose problems he was very
familiar) to his eplistles to
the Romans. Here was a
people he did not know. Paul'
was writing to people he had
never met, and to a church in
which he had no direct part in
founding. His purpose in this
particular case, was
instruction. He imparted to
these people his deeply
personal faith in the
redemptive work of Christ.
The purpose of this Lesson,
therefore, is to help students
recognize and accept the
gospel as God’s answer to the
plight of sinful humanity.
Paul was witnessing in a
bascially pagan city. Ever
attuned to that which
threatened his passionate
witnessing on behalf of
Christianity, Paul addressed
himself with passion to the
believers in Rome.
Paul’s great and driving
desire was to spread the good
news of the Gospel among the
peoples of the earth as much
as it lay withhThtS power to
do so. A reformed, repentant
person, he found in the new
faith of Christianity a joy and
a strength beyond his wildest
dreams; and, in the true
spirit of that Christianity, his
purpose in life was to share it
with his fellow men. For his
confidence in the Gospel was
the result of his own
experience of its power.
Salvation (or deliverance)
was the theme of his
teachings. How many needed
to be delivered of the sins
and sufferings which bound
them! How many still do!
If, in his exhortations, Paul
mentioned the Jews first, it
was only because
Christianity was orginially
proffered to the Jews. Later,
through a slowness on the
part of the Jewish people to
accept, Christianity became
to be accepted as a universal
offering to all mankind
which it was intended to be
from the beginning.
In this epistle Paul went on
to expound the meaning of
righteousness from God. The
Almighty was there to do
what people could not do for
themselves; make them
righteous.
From what do men need to
be saved? The list is long;
from righteousness itself, if it
is directed towards a sense of
righteousness of the self; for
this is the deadly sin of self
pride; righteousness, in the
sense of fairness, and of
justice, is another matter!
Men have to be saved from
ungodliness offenses
against God, and in His
Name, offenses against their
fellow men...in short,
Mankind needs to be saved
from doing wrong, as opposed
to knowing what is right. How
many of us are so guilty?
■ Alan sins when he lets hS
innate personal vanity take
over his pride. To be pride
ful of one’s accomplishments,
without acknowledgement of
the Giver of such
Almighty...that is a different
