Text, “An understanding
heart” 1 Kings 3:9-
So many of our opinions come
from misunderstandings. I
knew a man with a very mean,
face and I discredited him until
I saw his father. On a pastoral |
call I told Mrs. Blount that her
next door neighbor was cooking
a*steak. She understood me to
say that he was as crooked as a
snake.
One of the closest friends I
ever had was old shaggy Carlo.
He lead me to think I could beat
him running. I could when I saw
Mama coming with a leather
strap.
When I was a younger
preacher I was confident that I
was a far better speaker than my
father. My first sermon was
preached in his pulpit. The
laymen lied like a pack of fox
hounds and said 1 would live to
be a bishop. I know now that
they were urging me on like I
did when I was training my
young birddog. I trained him to :
set and now that is all I can do
myself.
Old Uncle Joseph Sloan
became old and helpless and
retired to his lawn chair, Hie
young minister visited him and
said “Uncle Joe, I was sorry to
hear that you had lost your
mind.” And Uncle Joe replied,
“I had not missed it.”

Bandon Notebook By Eleanor F. Jackson
Today and tomorrow
embrace two get-togethers still
awaiting your decision to
attend. The first one is the
Bandon Chapel Women’s Guild.
It’s going on right now, starting
at ll A.M. closing at 3 P.M. but
even for a little addle your
presence is welcome.
True, this is a special day for
> it is when members with
birthdays in January are
honored. Mrs. C. S. (Ada)'
Barnes is the one and only, so
it’s ice cream and a birthday
cake and specialty of the house
lunch, instead "of sandwiches.
Loose ends are being caught up
on unfinished apparel started
during the class in “Working
with Knits” and now over.
Plans for future projects are
inorder and all o[unions are
important.
Tomorrow night at 6:30
o’clock the ever-popular
"Covered Dish Supper” will
be jn full swing in the
Fellowship Hall. Regretfully
the regular hostess, Mrs. W. N.
(Louise) Waters is unable to
attend due to illness, but
nothing will please her more
than to know her past efforts
are being enjoyed by a large*
group. With love and prayers in
all our hearts, for dear Louise,
we know she’ll be back real
soon.
—O—
When Dr. Livingston, friend
and preacher at Bandon Chapel,
was asked to make his literary
contribution to this column a
little shorter, he gave me this
item, with a boyish grin on his
face:
“Preachers make me sick
when they expose my pleasure
in wrong, my excuses for not
helping my brother to a happier
life, and my comfort in being
like everyone else. So, like the
people in the day of the prophet,
Amos, I tune them out.
“Lots of people died of
smallpox until a Dr. Edward
Jenner, in 1796. started making
them sick with a vaccine taken
from a cow with coxpox. The
vaccination made the patient a
little sick but it saved his life. I
had better listen to those
preachers who make me a little
sick so that I won’t die from the
smallpox of sin."’
Occasionally the question is
asked, “When does Sunday
School begin?” Junior and adult
classes start at 9:45 A.M. every
week. Church, also every week
at 11 A.M. A 15-minute pause
between, offers time for hot
coffee or a cool drink in
Fellowship Hall to which all are
welcomed. . 4 i,' * »
Lessons taught by dedicated
teachers, Mrs. H. T. (Margaret'
Bunting, for the adults and Mrs.
F. (Annie) Cooke, for the
juniors covered these subjects:
“The Suffering Savior" and
“They ,Mercy of the Light.”
Ushers who served included
H. Truston Bunting, R. Carlyle
Gilliam, Fred W. Jolly and Gus
H. Perry. And incidentally, for
those who have particular
interest in the work of Bandon
Chapel’s missionary, there are
small holders attached to the
backs of the pews at center
aisle. Envelopes for voluntary
contributions may be used and
placed along with regular
offerings in the baskets the
ushers carry.
Another opportunity to help
those currently in need is the
offerings in the baskets the
perishables collected all year. A
decision to have canned or non
will be there at all times. People
do get hungry at other times
than during Christmas week.
This wav we’ll be prepared.

THE LORD OF LIFE
International Sunday Scljpol Lesson for January 19,1975
Scripture: John 6:35-51, 11:1-53
By Mrs. Jesse Waller
When Jesus was here on earth, He had friends. I like to
think of Him visiting that humble home in Bethany, because
He loved His friends. Everyone needs a friend. I recall
visiting a friend across from the court house, in a little town
where once we lived. When the clock would strike, we
couldn’t believe that time had passed, go concerned were
we with each other's joys and problems. I’m glad Jesus had
* some friends He could visit, when He was weary and mis
understood.
In our lesson, the last and greatest miracle of seven, re
corded in John 2:11 is used. This miracle is the raising of
Lazarus, His friend, in Bethany. The grief of the sistqrs,
Mary and Martha, who were also dear friends of Jesus,
touched Him deeply. He wept by Lazarus’ grave. The Jews
said, “behold how He loved him.” &
Jesus inspired wild aad daring hope, which entered
Martha’s heart as she talked with Jesus. She asserted her
faith that Lazarus would arise “in the resurrection at the
last day” John 11:24. Jesus showed His Lordship over
life by calling Lazarus back from the grave.
For those who have felt the numb throb of grief, Jesus
stands forever to offer life, because He is the Lord of life,
and we are prisoners of hope. If we have not this hope with
in us, we are of all persons most miserable.
Being a minister’s wife, my husband and I have witnessed
the grief of so many. There are a few whose inner resourses
are no deeper than self, and their loss brings them bitter
ness and despair. If we believe that Christ is the resurrec
tion and the life, then He is truly Lord of life for us. He is
not limited by space or time. The strike of the court house
clock doesn’t mean that friends must separate. Always, He
is a breath away, and underneath are the everlasting arms.
“For I am persuaded that neither death, nor life, nor
angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present,
nor things to come, nor height, nor depth, nor any other
creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God,
which is in Christ Jesus our Lord” Rom. 8:38-39.
Verse to remember: "The life which I now live in the
flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me,
ad gave himself for me.” Gal. 2:20. f
