Bandon Notebook By Eleanor F. Jackson
Jl The Bandon folks did not deck
■ tftie halls with boughs of holly,
w in memory of loved ones,
bought:
Poinsettias, all living and bright
Which did seem so exceedingly
right ' ■ \
For they met one and all
To suggest they recall
What is held in their memories
true
For while never forgotten, they
grew I
Until now. they seem near
And in fact, more dear
With a precious love that will
not Wane
In the calmness of memory’s
land.
Sunday v School began with a
teenage lady, Miss Amanda
Bunch, playing the piano
prelude and a special solo. She’s
the daughter, of Mr. and Mrs.
George Bunch, Jr., of Rocky
Hock. Before Bandon Chapel
evolved, and Sunday School was
assembled in Arrowhead
■ Beach’s clubhouse, young
Ft Amanda played the small organ
carried there for the special
occasion.
Djave Lapham,
superintendent, gave the
morning prayer. Ushers were
Clarence Barnes, “Trus”
Bunting (who gave the offertory
prayer), Henry Skinner and
Willie Waters.
Prayers for the world in
general are needed, but so are
specific ones for Jane Barnes,
Berlijnne and Watson
Blanchard. Irene Bunch,
Margaret Bunting, Louise
Byrum. Emma Perry, Mr. and
Mrs. Clarence Rich and Earl
Rowley.
The Stricklands. Hilda,
“Jack” and “Woody" are now
in the ’ vorst snow in years, but
arrive! safely at their
destination. Detroit,
Michigan.. so let’spray for their
safe retlurn. |

M. Missionary Society. A part
president of the Federation of
garden clubs and an active
member of the Business and
Professional Women’s Club. To
say that her talk was all too
short is saying that it was most
interesting, for she told her
audience “Something About
John”..who he was and how his
book dealth with the history of
Jesus.
Accompanying Mrs. Stewart
was Mrs. Louise Torbert, of
Portsmouth, long time friend of
Mmes. Bunting, Stewart and

TftE CHOWAN HERALD
Fellowship Hall. It carried the
theme and feeling of Christmas
With background recordings,
supervised by husband, Willie
N. Waters. The decor and tree
-added to the atmosphere as
everyone demonstrated the way
to use a toy gift which was
brought and wrapped by
someone else. Nobody had any
idea what they would have to
do. Some of the antics were
hilarious. The same toys will be
carried, along with some
from the tree, to Chowan’s
children’s ward by Mrs. Grace
Schie, chairman of the Bandon
Chapel Women's Guild, sponsor
of the suppers. Almost forgot to
mention one of the nicest sights
to behold, that of two husky
men, busily washing and drying
the dishes. And voluntarily, too!
A Prophets
Portion
A look at the past —a hope for l
the future! 1973 the year of
Watergate, waning energy
supplies, war in the East and
continued war in the Far East,
withering confidence in politics
and politicians, and the wilting
dollar. Not much for the world's
view point to give one much
confidence.
But. as a Christian, my life is
not determined by the world’s
perspective, but through the
heavenly vision projected by
God’s Holy Spirit. This keeps me
from being forced into the
world’s mold of pessimism
while transforming my life with
the glow of hope.
Jesus Christ is called the
“hope of glory”. This makes
Him my Hope for the future.
1974 will offer more of the same
as 1973 for the “World Man.”
for the Christian there is Hope
in Jesus Christ, God's Son.
Would you enjoy 1974 or endure
1974? Hope will make the
difference.

School
Lesson
WATER THAT
SATISFIES
International Sunday School
Lesson for December :tO. 1973.
LESSON TEXT: John 4:1-42.
With this Lesson we start a
new unit, but we continue
studying the Book of John
Our theme is “The Son of God
Active Among Us”. These
Lessons are directed towards
the goal of showing how Jesus
meets varying human
needs , and it is hoped that
this particular lesson may be
used to help people
understand the vast
importance of a spiritual life
over that of the purely
physical...thereby accepting
the blessings personified in
Christ.
Life can be sustained by
waler in all animals—
whether four-footed or two
legged. Bulky foods may be
missed, but they can be done
without; with water,
however, it is a different
matter! And just as Christ
has been called the Light of
the world, so He represents
the water that sustains both
the body of man. and the
soul. ..and. most
importantly...the soul!
Therefore the well-known
story of Jesus' encounter with
the woman at the well needs
no particular stress laid on
it’s translation. . Christ_ was
clearly saying “I am the
Life"!
As the experience relates.
Christ was.weary; this should
not be surprising to us it
becomes merely a
demonstration of how
completely the Son of God
omnipotent in His own right
identified Himself with
man And He. like man. knew
the discomfort of thirst.
Christ's request for a drink
of life-giving water startled
the Samrian woman who
had come to the well, for it
was well-known that the Jews
considered the Samarians as
untouchable. Christ then
proceeded to enlighten the
woman as to “living water"
the love of God for all
mankind the living water
that slakes mankind’s thirst
and whose effects are
eternal.
In this encounter Christ
was. once again, ignoring the
barriers of faith, creed and
nationality that had. time and
again, caused Him to be
dubbed somewhat of a
radical in His day and time.
For He was universal!
He willingly lent Himself to
imperception, and to
misrepresentation, because
He was intent on personifying
illumination of men’s souls
and expectation of their
hearts’ desire.
Man is a creature of many
thirsts —for success, for
money, for prestige; but
there is a deep-seated
spiritual thirst which can
only be slaked at the well of
God’s concern, -of Christ’s
enduring love. For this thirst
and this alone sustains
the soul of man.
It is that which raises man
to the feed of God; it enables
him to partake of a new
strength.
God has given us life in all
it's fullness; He has provided,
through the Person of Christ,
faith and hope, and the
forgiveness of sins; He has
put the Kingdom within our
reach, in the fullness of His
great love. v
Will we be wise enough to
take the dipper from His hand
and drink fully of His
proffered sustenance? And
thereby claim the precious
salvation available to us all,
in His Name?
Let us pray that we will!
