FISH1N6 A-PLENTY I JV CHEROEE COUNTY Sine the first day. the CHEROKEE COUNTY FISHING CONTEST opened, this office has been swamped with pictures and stories of the various entries. It is amaz ing what a variety of fish both in size and species can be caught in the 7500 acres of lakes located in Cherokee County. To recall some of the pictures of fish your editor has taken makes him want to stop this writing and head for a stream. One night I photographed two pike, both 30 inch es long and each weighing 8 lbs. Another time it was a beautiful 24 rainbow trout and one day a goldfish weighing some 2 lbs. or more was photographed. There was a string of some seventy or eighty fish caught by a group of men from Canton. The picture was run just a few short weeks ago. Someone remarked that when even people came from Canton, they could always catch fish when no one else could. It's a lucky day for us who reside here to be able to indulge in this very popular sport. To keep our beautifuMakes and the plenti ful fishing intact is a thing for each of us to remember. IDEAS AND CONSTRUCTION GROWING EN MURPHY A look at the front of our courthouse is certainly a pleasing sight these days. The notices that once appeared outside are no longer visible. Instead they are conveniently located just inside the courthouse door. Across the street from the courthouse a fine new building is being completed. It is a pleasing sight to see the "New Look" in these particular cases Just below Ivie's Funeral Home, men are busy excavating for a new Phillips 66 Service Station. It will mean added services/for our local citizenery as well as the many tourists who annually visit our town. East Murphy is "bursting at the seams" with the new school fast taking shape and nearby the Murphy Florist Shop is housed in its new headquarters There are just a few of the things trans piring in Murphy. Our town is growing al so with many new ideas and projects. The Scout wishes to state that industry, ' merchants, families, groups are individuals will find an open door to their ideas or thoughts when they visit tKe editor. Let's work for a common cause, the good of our community. The Gossip Corner ly Ammettm Bunch Far bo U tram me to try to compare with with Emily's "Talk of the Town", but It Mbu that something limply MUST be done about the absence of local chit-chat. Therefore. I've been drafted to attempt to keep you informed ?v? about This *n that in and oround Murphy. I Just came back from the Kiddie Park where I snatched up my smallest child from the aandpUe and who now aita in the middle of the floor at the Scout office eating crackers and playing with the mailing list! Incidentally, I do hope funfe have been rolling In to keep the Kiddle Park going. ? ? ? ? There was jubilation ln the JAMES A. PARK ER household last Wednesday afternoon after a call from New York revealing to them that JAMES was the first prize winner in the Men nen Company contest for dealers of their pro ducts. They motored to Atlanta Friday morning and from there they were flown to New York for an expense-paid vacation in the Big City. There the keys to a new 1956 Crysler will be presented to them FREE. Congra illations to the PARKER family! ? ? ? ? After talking with MRS. ASMOND MAX well I feel as if I had been on a trip to New Mexico myself. They spent a lot of their time camping out and enjoying the trip as they went along. While there they visited Carlsbad Cav erns and had lunch 750 feet underground. They vsited Sacrementa Mountains and the children did a lot of horseback riding. Also, last but not least, the boys saw the ALAMO in San Antonio and are still talking about "Where DAVY CROCKETT died!" ? ? ? ? It is good to see the CLARE OLSEN family back in town. As their next-door neighbor, I for one have missed them. IKE has been trying desperately to catch up on his golf before the football season, and HILDA has been enjoying being at home, visiting friends, etc. ? ? ? ? As a newcomer to this community, there is do drive any prettier to me than the one from here to Andrews and on up past the Junaluska Terrace Hotel (or where it was). We made that drive a week or so ago. The cool, green mead ows and the river along the road are a sight to behold, not to mention the beautiful moun tains forming the background. We stopped in ANDREWS to pick up copy from REV. COR BITT and had an interesting talk with him. Rather my husband did. I followed the children to the nice community park across the street from Rev. Corbitt's house. A park of this na ture would be an asset to any town. ? ? ? ? After a week's well-earned vacation at Cas well Beach Emily P. Costello is home again where she is enjoying being a housewife for a while. While at the beach I understand she was an instructor at the CASWELL BAPTIST AS SEMBLY. ? ? ? ? Ts it a bird, or is it a chicken? That's what DOC HEADRICK is wondering. While sitting in his yard reading the paper one afternoon last week this "thing" fell from a tree into his lap. It half-way resembles a bird and it also might be a chicken or some other fowl. It is now at the ANIMAL HOSPITAL, and someone might be able to name it!

Corbltt, Pastor First Baptist Church Andrews, N. C. "Now then we are ambassa dors for Christ, as though God did beseech you by us: we pray you in Christ's stead, be ye re conciled to God." We hear much today about ambassadors: yet you and I who have been born of the Spirit of God should know about them because "we are am ? bassadors for Christ," What is anbassador? An Ambassador is one who represents the person of a king at the Court of another. We are to speak for God. God is appealing to the world, through us, to be reconciled. The message which we hear is "Be ye recon ciled to God." We are saying this in Christ's place and as His rep resentative. If this is so, then it ought to be done as we think He would do it. He would speak to day as He &id in His day. He spoke with simple and unstudied dignity. He spoke sincerely and Straight-forwardly, fearlessly and without favor. 1 Jesus said in Luke 2:49 "Wist ye not that I must be about my Father's business?" then again he said "As my Father hath sent me, even so send I you. "John 20:21. Christ from the beginning told that he was here to die for the sins of the world. He had a passion for men ? this passioa was that men might be reconciled to God. Jesus no doubt was interested in men being well housed, well clothed and well fed. He was interested in I all the social needs of mankind. ? However, we also know Jesus did r not spend His time directly on ? these things. He concentrated on the spiritual, for when the spirit ual condition was right the social aspect would be right. The Apostles, Peter and John on one occassion following this ex ample said "Silver and Gold have none: :t!ut such as I have give I thee". This man was so re conciled that he entered Into the Church and walked and leaped praising God. Jesus knew his obligation to the Father when he said "I must". A* we think of this self-imposed program of imperatives which Jesijs followed, we should be able to see In It the urgency which should direct and control our lives Where the will of the Father and the will of the world crossed, Jesus took the Father's will, re gardless of cost. Where God's will reveals the way, no matter bo* great the cost, the Christian, too should follow regardless Of ooat tc him. His Christian's highest privilege i to do waat h? ought to do, not ikit he may want to do. Ho is urrendered to Ood and aoparatad rom th? world. Christ died on the Croaa and! had his blood tor the sins of the arid. We cannot do this, but as jnbaasadors we can help lost ' len find Ood and reach Ood J irough the one and only one med la toe between, ood and man ? JESUS CHRIST. I Jmui warned men at hell burn |taf with Ore and brimstone, and told of a heaven for thoae who i were saved. "We are Ambaaaa | dora for Christ" shall we warn men |o< a hell and point them to "The lamb of Ood which taketh away the sins of the weridT" % 1 ' 2429 \) 19 JULY'56 M P. 14 ^olionol arm SoWr -/?*k JM|, 22 28 - in CMZENS BAM and TRUST CO. INSURANCE DEPARTMENT Murphy Andrew* VErnon 7-2141 vY'/ BAPTISTS 3 ELI EVE BELIEVERS HAVE EQUAL PRIVILEGES JN THE ?HAJRCH There is no de bate over wo man's suffrage or legal age limits within a Baptist church. There is no dispute over the balance of power between ministers and laymen. These matters are settled because of what the New Testament teaches on the place 'of the individual believer. Why? Because all believers, regardless of age, sex, or occu pation, are equal in privileges in a true New Testament Church, in which "There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus" (Galatians 3:28). When a Baptist church ac cepts someone into its member ship, it accepts him on his own testimony about his personal, spiritual experience. It is ?aid that when Charles Evans * Hughes, Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States, united by letter with a * Baptist church, a Chinese laundry , man also joined the church. t Every person be comes a church member by vote of all the mem bers present A Baptist church transacts all its business in this same democratic manner. Every member has an equal opportunity to serve according to his willingness and ability. The primary question is ""Who then is willing to consecrate his service this day unto the Lord?" (1 Chronicles 29:5). The teacher of a* men's Sunday school class who had been elected by the church, was a clerk in a store. He taught business men of ability and means, college professors, and men from various walks of life. n i s cnurcn 01 fered similar op port unities to others who were willing and able ? and without re gard to their wealth or social standing. The equality of individual be lievers in a Baptist church makes each person important. The church assumes responsibility lor instructing, training and enlist ing in service every member from the youngest to the oldest. Because a Baptist church grants to every member the same rights and privileges, it provides all members with Bible teach ing. It trains them in church membership and keeps them in formed about missions. It en nurages them to give liberally of their money and time to Christian activities. It instructs them in the way of righteousness and social and civic duties. Many Baptist churches ara far ahead of their communities in meeting the needs of youth. Baptists also make adequate pros vision for older people and for babies in their Sunday schools and other church serv ices. Baptist churches take seriously their responsibility for training each and every member. The activities of their several organi zations ? the Sunday school, the Training Union, the men's Brotherhood, the Woman's Mis sionary Union ? prove this. * ?
