Thursday, March si, 1977 The Bandon Notebook Sunday morning as I gazed at the still, smooth waters of the beautiful Chowan River, I was filled with thanksgiving for all God’s Countless blessings and was reminded of an old Sanskrit proverb: 2 Look to this day! For it is Life, the very life of life. In its Brief Course be all the verities and realities of your existence: The bliss of growth; The glory of action; The splendor of beauty; For yesterday is already a dream, and tomorrow is only a vision; But today, well lived, makes every yesterday A dream of happiness, and every tomorrow a vision of hope. Look well, therefore, to this day! So, as Elizabeth Ellen Long said so beautifully: Never put a kindiess off, Never wait to say The word of {raise or sympathy Which someone needs today. Lest suddenly it prove too late For anything but ruing The helpful, thoughtful things You never got around to doing. ':Supt. H. T.

Aim was that the students may have con ' fidence that Ihftiigh f&ith in Jesus as Savior, he has forgiveness, eternal life and membership in God’s family. Mr. B.' Kent Rowley brought the adult’s lesson entitled “The Way of Responsible Stewardship”, Luke 16:10-15; Mark 12:41- 44. Aim was that adult Christians use their money generously and sacrificially, never letting it become their master. . At our Worship Service, THE CHOWAN HERALD Mrs. Bobby Jean Holt sang “It Took A Miracle”. Her beautiful voice rang out loud and clear, emphasizing the inspirational words of this lovely old hymn, bringing tears to the eyes of many and a spontaneous com pliment from Mr. A1 Church. Dr. W. J. B. Livingston’s powerful message was “How To Make Everything Work To Your Good”, Romans 8:28-39. All things work together for good to all who love God. Paul wrote out of his actual experience. He could say “I know that all things work together for good for me”. I believe as it worked for Paul, it will work for me and you. When you look back on Paul’s life, many thing happened to him: he was blind, beaten with rods, imprisoned, stoned, ship wrecked, constantly on the go; perils of waters, rob bers, his own countrymen, heatherns, wilderness, cities, among false brethren, weariness and pain, thirst, hunger cold, etc. He had a great many things laid upon him. Not many of us have ex perienced these things. But, because Poul loved God, he turned everyone of these experiences into an op portunity for good and the furtherence of the Gospel. The Book of Daniel (11:32) says the people that do know their God shall be strong and do great exploits. David, the Sheperd, saved sheep out of a lion’s mouth. At the valley of Elah, when Goliath challenged Saul for 40 days, David persuaded Saul to let him take the challenge. He came against Goliath by the Strength of the Lord, with only a shot and five smooth stones. He slung it, hit Goliath on the head between the eyes and killed him. God Controls the battle of life. They that know Him shall be strong. Why did David and Paul love God? Why should you? We love Him because He hrSt loved us; He is worth of our love; we experience His love; we know His patience and forgiveness. He has overcome the last enemy - Death - through His Son, Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. They that come to God and love God will be strong and prosper. I know and you know that “all things work together for good to all who love God”. Clean Up Day—Friday, April 1: It’s requested that as many as possible, men and women come out to the By Maggie B. Chapel Friday morning, from 8 A. M. on, armed with ladders, buckets, mops, etc. for spring cleaning of church and fellowship hall so it will be in ship-shape condition for Easter. See you there.
