Letter To The Herald Editor
To The Editor:
We read in the Bible in the
book of Acts these words:
“And it shall come to pass in
the last days, saith God, I
will pour out my spirit upon
all flesh...” This indicates
that while wickedness is on
the increase, at the same
time, many today are
turning to God for their
personal salvation. Faith in
God is the only answer to the
problems we face today.
In order to be saved,
admit that you are a sinner
and be willing to turn from
your sins (repent). Believe
that Jesus died for you (on
the cross) and rose from the
dead. Then just call upon
Him. “For whomsoever
shall call upon the name of
the Lord, shall be saved.”
Remember that God loves
you and wants you to spend
eternity with Him.

Dr. Neals says, “This hymn contests the second place
among those of the Western Church with the Veiilla

After you are saved, read
your Bible daily, pray and
witness for God.
If you die without ac
cepting Christ. as your
personal savior-all is lost.
Do not delay this decision.
“Behold now is the ac
cepted time, now is the day
of salvation.”
“Boast not thyself of
tomorrow, for thou knowest
not what a day may bring
forth.”
We read in Rev. 3:10 in
reference to the coming
rapture of the church,
“Because thou hast kept the
word of my patience, I also
will keep thee from the hour
of temptation which shall
come upon all the world, to
try them that dwell upon the
earth.”
Today many of our world
leaders seem incapable of
rational thinking. Closer at

THE CHOWAN HERALD
Thoughts Os
My Mind
In the depths of my heart
and the secrecy of my mind,
I wish there was something
I could have done when they
crucified my Lord. If I could
have only been there to
comfort Mary, and to show
her and my Savior how
much I cared, how hard and
how heavy my heart pounds
with love with hurt, How
awful it must have been to
see and hear those terrible
accusations about my Lord,
to watch him being tor
mented and humilated in
front of all, and knowing
that so many hearts were
crying for Him, not being
able to help or to even know
if he could feel the comfort
from their weeping. Could I
have stood there and watch
the one I love so much
bearing the pain for me?
Would my shoulders have
been so narrow that I
couldn’t have carried some
of the burden for Him. Could
I not get my Savior a cool
drink of water, knowing how
parched and dry his tender
lips must have been. And as
the day suddenly darkened
and I stood there frightened
of not knowing what would
happen next, I heard my
Savior ask his Father “Why
hast thou forsaken me?
Had I not done the same?
Wasn’t there something I
could have done? No, not
me. I’m no one important, If
I had spoken up what might
they have done for me? The
fear in my heart would
probably have torn me to
pieces. But there they took
my Savior away, They
would not tell me where they
had hidden him. Oh Mary
how despalate in need of
your son you were, The
need to know where they
had hidden Him, and not
knowing where to find Him.
If only I could have helped,
and then on Easter morning
Her Son - our Savior came
back to us, we didn’t lose
Him, He did hear our
weeping. He felt the pain in
our hearts - Our crying out
to Him for His love, Yes he
did come back for us, and
for no other reason only to
show us how much he loved
and cared. I wasn’t there
but I do love him for the
many hours of pain he en
dured for me, my heart still
hurts deeply when I recall
all those terrible hap
penings. Lord I wasn’t there
then, but I am here now, I
offer myself to you, use me,
help me to help others, let
me repay you for the many
things I have to be grateful
for, please take my hand,
my heart, walk with me and
talk with me, Let me give to
you my love. Thank You for
loving me.

A CHRISTIAN FAMILY LIFE STYLE

n • • By Mrs. Jesse Waller M.tcnenervu,,,.
Beginning with this lesson, there will be a senes of six
lessons on Christian approach to family problems, or con-
cems. Many concerns are not problems, if they are kept in
the Christian light. This is one phase of our life where we can W. E. Smith
find much help in the Bible, but so few look there. We are general merchandise
prone to look everywhere else, and to everyone else for help, - rocky hock
before we realize our help is in the risen power of Christ.

I starting point and secret.
The root of our problems is the sin nature within us. Paul Edenton, N. C.
says the old nature must die, before we can live in Christ, we r.d. dixon, jr Agent
have some steps to take.
In the Christian family, we are exhorted to “seek the Parker-Evans Hardware
things that are above.” Colossians 3:1. This includes per- Company
sonal righteousness and spiritual values, in contrast to the
life style of the world and the flesh. We live in the flesh, and gleem paints

mand, by setting our minds on things above. This is an in
tellectual discipline. In the family, it is very important to set . . , p .
heavenly values above earthly values. The true test comes Mitcnener s y
on Sunday morning.
While I was attending Scarritt College, in Nashville, prescription pharmacists
Tenn., I met a student from China, the daughter of a
minister in China. Some years later, I ran across a book that . phone 482-37 H, Edenton
was a biography of her mother. The book was entitled “Meet
Mrs. Yu.” She became- a Christian, before she spoke
English, and she had no Bible in her language. She took ho*
Chinese dictionary, with the English Bible, and studied
diligently, beginning at Genesis. Always, she had a baby in
her arms, as she studied, because they were a large family.
When she came to Deuteronomy 6:6, and read, “And these
words which I command thee this day shall be in thine - ,
heart: and thou shalt teach them diligently unto thy ' - A|||j
children, and shalt talk them when thou sittest in thine
house, and when thou walkest by the way, and when thou l\
best down and when thou risest up.” gn
She rushed home and showed it to her husband, and said . a. JSsL !
“we are not doing these things,” and they started regularly . /A&ks isl -
gathering the children together to teach them about God’s ii * ■ f
love, which brought them closer together. Jr
The saying that “a family that prays together stays 7 jAI . .
together” is trite, but there is truth in the sentiment. If a [ Hi] t
husband loves his wife, she knows of his love, beyond the | j

not going to embarrass him before his friends. If parents
love their children, they will expect obedience, and reward _
their efforts. The children will know they are loved, which is * ~ .
the greatest security.
, Closing thought: The invisible cord of love binds the
family together. Home becomes a “Haven” and a shelter.
