9 m'n SECTION B The Bandon Chapel Notebook - Commandments For Etiquette By Maggie B. HI NEIGHBORS! That ole “Flu Bag” grabbed my hub by and I Sunday and I haven’t been out of the house since I came home from church. Having to stay in has advan tages - gives you time to think and study. As I was trying to find a passage in my Bible, I found a yellowed newspaper clipping dated Oct. 5,1969. It was a portion of a column by Ann Laiders in which she quoted L'r. Harry Emerson Fosdick’s six point test for deciding right from wrong. Share it with me: 1. Does the course of action you plan to follow seem logical and reasonable? Never mind what anyone else has to say. Does it make sense to you? If it does, it is probably right. 2. Does it pass the test of sportsmanship? In other words, if everyone followed this same course of action would the results be beneficial for all? 3. Where wil your plan of action lead? How will it affect others? What will it do to you? 4. Will you think well of yourself when you look back at what you have done? 5. Try to separate yourself from the problem. Pretend, for one moment, it is the problem of the person you most ad mire. Ask yourself how that person would handle it. 6. Hold up the final decision to the glaring light of publici ty. Would you want your family and friends to know what you have done? The decisions we make in the hope that no one will find out are usually wrong. This Lord’s Day was cold and crisp- just right to enter the church of your choice to enjoy the warmth of Christian love and thank God for His countless blesings. The fine folk gathered for Sunday School at Bandon Chapel were joyfully welcomed by Supt. Stan Tur byfill and his Assistant, Julie Faye Nelson. Those present were treated to an enlighten ing lesson by Wm. F. Smith, entitled “Teaching About Priorities”, Luke 12:13-31, 35-40. Bible truth brought out was: In the light of Christ’s AT EDENTQN FURNITURE COMPANY NOW THRU JANUARY 31 ST Time On lv ■ n cost Types of BEDDING&HIDE-A-BED Sofas “ “itta” DISCONTINUED MODELS • CLOSEOUT COVERS • Don’t min K s'S style and fabric that suits /?/g/tf In Stock... • Convenient In-Store Financing tyj" Others Available • Plenty Free Parking In Rear Os Store 12J22Z EDENTQN FURNITURE COMPANY coming, material things are not all-important. Mr. Smith gave us food for thought as he listed the “Ten Command ments for Church Etiquette”, by Arthur J. Laughlin, Jr.: 1) Thou shalt not come to ser vice late, nor for the Amen refuse to wait; 2) Thy noisy tongue shalt thou restrain, when speaks the organ its refrain; 3) And when the hymns are sounded out, thou shalt join in, not look about; 4) The endmo6t seat thou shalt leave free, for more to share the pew with thee; 5) Forget not thou the off’ring plate, nor let the usher stand and wait; 6) Thou shalt not make the pew a place to vain ly decorate thy face; 7) Thou shalt give heed to worship well, and not in thine own business dwell; 8) Thou shalt the Sabbath not misuse, nor come to church ro take a snooze; 9) ‘Tis well in church thy friend to meet, but let thine ardor be discreet; and 10) Be friendly at the church’s door; so shall the stranger love God more. -0- Prayer List: In my opinion, prayer is the most powerful force in the world today. Edenton, North Carolina. Thursday, January 20.19*3 Please add our friends to your prayer list. Bob Stewart, friend and former co-worker of Henry T. Bunting, is con fined to Norfolk General Hospital’s Intensive Care Unit; Hubert Woodard, hus band of Elsie Woodlard, is confined to South Hampton Memorial Hospital, 100 Fair view Dr., Franklin, Va. 23581 and needs your prayers.

Harrell and his family. -0- “Happy Birthday” was sung by all in honor of Lor raine Turbyfill, Elizabeth Dale, Bonnie Lapham and Ada Barnes as they placed their contributions in our Bir thday Bank. -0- At Bandon’s Worship Ser vice Pastor Robert S. Har rell’s scripture was Phil. 2: 1-11, with emphasis on vs. 5 “Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus.” Pastor Bob laid down the basics of Parlimentiry Law noting that it came into being because of necessity. As society progressed and people got together to discuss mat ters of importance, they need ed some pimple laws to govern the way in which they conducted themselves and to insure that the views of the minority as well as the ma jority would be protected. He added that Parlimentary Law should not be necessary at a church meeting. If we are about God’s work; if we are right with God and each other; and there is love for God and love for each other, there is no need for Parlimen tary Law. In church meetings we should exhibit courtesy, respect and love for others not because we know parlimen tary procedures but because we belong to One who laid down His life on the cross for us and we are concerned about learning more about the fundamentals of our Christian experience; how to help our church grow spiritually and numerically; and more about ministering to the spiritual needs of our people from day to day. We should be so con sumed about these needs that we will not be concerned about Parlimentary Law. -0- A hearty welcome is ex tended to our first timers: Proctor Shannon, husband of Rose, and Rose Gentry’s daughter-in-law, Marie Daughtry and her children, Gloria and Anne. We hope you enjoyed our service and will return soon. -0- “PRESIDENT’S DAY” - Helen Ellinwood honored for her love and hard work by ladies of the BCWG! It all happened last Wednesday -a surprise party for our Presi dent! At 11 A.M., the ladies gathered at the home of Selma Lassiter, with their covered dishes and gifts, waiting for Helen to arrive. The air was filled with suspense and happy chatter. k car arrived! Meta Mason came in (she was in charge of getting Helen “to the church on time”) - but- Helen re mained in the car. After a lit tle persuasion, she reluctant ly agreed to come in for a “few minutes” (she thought she was en route to Hertford). As she entered, the ladies greeted her by singing “For She’s A Jolly Good Fellow, Helen, Our President”. She was dumbfounded! A wide, happy smile stayed on her lovely face as she was hugged, squeezed and kissed by all the ladies, each ex pressing love in their own way. After a delightful luncheon, Helen opened her presents and passed them around for all to see. She was overwhelmed. Through tears of joy, she ex pressed her appreciation and love for the thoughtfulness of her “girls”. In my opinion, it couldn’t have happened to a finer person. Helen is loved by all who know her. -0- Our deepest sympathy is extended to the family and friends of James E. Bufflap. Buff’s spirit graduated from this earthly plane early Satur day morning to a place far more beautiful than mere words can describe. His life on planet Earth was long and fruitful - he brought joy to many people. We mourn for ourselves for we’ll miss his presence among us but we re joice for Buff - his journey has ended, he is face to face with Jesus in a place where there is no pain or suffering, no SECTION B loneliness or fear.
