As I See It ii Bruce Barton LIFE IS ON THE UPSWING Life is on the upswing. Things are getting better. Miracles are bursting out all over. I feel good. ? But we are still near bankruptcy. The joyful notion is simply the fact that hope is an echo, hope ties itself yonder, yonder. One of the real nice things happening is an appreciation dinner planned March 18, 1978 at the Old Foundry Restaurant in Lumberton. The gala event is being planned by the Hoke County Jaycees for the Carolina Indian Voice. It is nice to have friends, and doubly nice to be appreciated. We thank them for their expressions of love and appreciation. * It is one of those weeks when one just wants to lay back and say nice things about people. Think about Mr. Jim Chavis. He is in Cape Fear Hospital. He might have to undergo surgery. If he does, it is alright. He is wrapped in the loving arms of Jesus through his many friends, family and admirers. I happen to love him very much. He is my mentor, my friend, my hero. I hope all of you will remember Mr. Jim in your prayers. Mr. Jim said, when told that I had accepted Jesus Christ as my personal Saviour, "That boy has got a bate of it." And I have. I am gloriously happy and secure in the knowledge that Jesus loves me and canes about me. He proved it by dying on the cross for me. I thank God for his Son, Jesus. He bore my sins, my transgressions. I want to be like Him. Anyway, let me share some pictures with you. Some I took. I like to take pictures. Another hero of mine, Mr. Elmer Hunt, helped me develop these. Gosh, 1 like the man. Delow is Drondi, my daughter, the obvious apple of my eye. She is following in daddy's footsteps. I wont to set o good example for her. . ifisstonpi i ?m?t ht> i VHHriff 1 . ? ?

Like when you go to the doctor and he says no more salt, no more smoking, no more alcoholic beverages of any kind, no more exertion '...if you want to live. When he prescribes hydro chlorothiazide. indernal, hy dralazine. vasodilan, aldomet, librium, and rest. When the nurse looks at you, smiles wryly, and says. "Mr. Barton, it looks like you're taking home the whole dam phar macy!" That'* when you know your miracles are running low. Especially when your doctor says sternly. "No. not even decaflnated coffee!" And to top all that, some bad luck comes your way in the form of rip-offs. Since New Years Day, an Underwood 5 typewriter, a fine stereo tape recorder (8-track, made in Hong Kong. China), a Sears portable air conditioner and even two telephones have been stolen from my home. I am still offering $100. for information about these items. What kind of person is it who will break into tb- hnme of a legally blind man of 59 who has suffered a heart attack and rip-off his few earthly be longings. I couldn't believe it if it hadn't happened to me. Oh. well. My father always told me there would be days like this. He didn't say they would come in bunches like bananas, though. 1 sincerely covet your prayers to the end that there may be healing and restoration. If there was ever a time when I needed the prayers of God's dear 'believing; people, it's now. A prayer will cost you little, yet at this time will mean so much. I believe in prayer and I know that out there, there are people who"are able to reach God. Sorry to sound so down in the dumps this week. But I feel so rough, even death seems like an improvement. But there will be a brighter tomorrow. Soon songbirds will be heralding glorious spring time. Buds will be bursting out with new life and myriad colors and odors will make the whole world new again. But. wow! What a rough winter it's been! THE CAROLINA INDIAN VOICE 521-2026 Here s a picture I took the other day. Someone obviously has a nice sense of humor. A nice sense or humor Is o good thing to hove in these troubled times. The sign reod simply "Stone for Sheriff" until some prankster odded. seemingly with o con of spray point. "Get Stoned for the Sheriff." This scene is located on Htghwoy 711 Cost, just up the rood from The CoroNno Indion Voice. ? m "Strike At The Wind" Tryouts Scheduled Tryouta have been scheduled for the third aeaaon of the musical outdoor drama ?Strike at Jw Wind!", ac cording to general manager lane Hudson.

All Good la From God His last words were "I want to go home." We believe today he is in Paradise where he will suffei^no more. He will be missed by everyone. He loved everyone he knew, and if you knew him, you would have loved him too. He knew it was best to listen much, speak little and not become angry. For anger doesn't make us good, as God demands that we must be. God wanted another good Husband, Father and Brother in Heaven, so he took our Friend. Warrior Baseball Preview? 1978 by David Malcolm The Pembroke Senior High School "Warriors" have been a dominating force in the 3-Rivers Conference Baseball race for the past three years, winning the conference tour nament crown in 1975 and both the regular season and titles in 1976 and 1977. Over these three seasons the War riors have amased an ad mirable record of 59-14. Coach Ronnie Chavis, who is entering his fifth year as the head coach of the PSHS 1 Baseball Team, has these replies to questions posed at him during a recent interview. DMt Do you think this year's team is under any pressure to carry on a tradition in the conference? Chavis: No, I think the pres sure is on the other teams to beat us. I would rather be in our position than theirs. DM: Talking about your sche dule now. You open your season at Scotland County. What do you expect from a team that was one of the few teams to defeat you last year? Chavis: It has developed into a big rivalry (the series between the Warriors and Scotland), with Scotland wanting to beat us as badly as we want to beat them. We beat them last year there having lost in our opening game on a dropped fly ball and they^went on to win the State 4-A Championship. They would like to prove, by beating us, that winning the state championship was not a fluke. DM: You lost several starters from last year's squad due to graduation. What will you do to fill these slots, do you have any promising new players? Chavis: We have a couple of soph mores who will see action. Craig Brooks will be our starting catcher, replacing Chuck Canady who graduated last year. I expect Allen Oxendine to make a good contribution to the team in the pitching position. I field the best nine, class does not matter. The guys who give 100% will start. DMi Would you like to expose any weaknesses or strong points about the team. Chavla: If we have any weak nesses, it would be our inexperience at several posi tions although I think this will be less of a problem as the season progresses. DM: How do the Warriors look this year? Chavis: We can be as good this year as in the past years. I am looking for our seniors: Johnny Dial. Danny Locklear, Earl Ransom, Timmy Jacobs, and Dennis Lowry to have a fine year. If they do well, the team will be in great position. Coach Chavis went on to make these comments: "I am really expecting a lot from our seniors in the way of leader ship. Earl has the chance to play baseball at Davidson while the coach at Southeas tern Community College is interested in Timmy. Dennis and Johnny could likewise go to a school and make fine players. Danny has had the best spring practice of any of the seniors. He will bat in an important slot in the lineup for us and I forsee him having a great year. He is the kind of player that Chuck Canady was, hustling, really putting forth a lot of effort. "Our non-conference games with Scotland, Hallsboro, and Lumberton are tough contests and will test our team. Both clubs will be keyed up, both wanting to prove something. "As far as the pitching goes, 1 expect Dwylan Locklear to become the ace midway thro ugh the season. He did not throw a lot last season but has /UusilnnAH into a solid hall player and 1 expect him to do a lot for us. Earl Ransom is the most experienced on the pit ching staff but is in a better position to help the team in centerfield, being an excellent defensive player. "If we can stay away from injuries, the team should do well." We all wish you and the Warriors the best of luck for a fine Year Mr. Ronnie. ?

Ciicalthoa M?jar ACCORDING TO SCRIPTURE EVANGELIST TED BROOKS MESSAGE 2: Peter 2:14--Having eyes full of adultery, and that cannot cease from sins, beguil ing unstable souls; on hearts they have exercised with cove tous practices; cursed child ren. I have found that people who say they are Christians, and that God has called them into the Ministry, are just like the verse about claiming to be a Shepherd of God. They cannot cease from sin. Peter said their eyes were always full of adultery. Every one likes you to quote John 3:16 or the 23rd Psalms, but Praise God! don't tell them that the word of God has said .? that some would, or already have, crept into the church. And Jude, the brother of Christ, said, "These are spots in your love feasts," and Jude went on to say that these false preachers would even feed themselves without fear; sit right there at your table and you knowing he is a false preacher, and that he is a cloud without water, carried about by winds, trees whose fruit withereth, and their trees are without fruit. Not only are they dead one time, but Jude said that they are dead in sins, and dead in tresspassing (Jude 1:12). One preacher said to me the other day while commenting ?on my last week's message. "Brother Brooks," he said, "You really preach a mes sage." He began to tell me about what he told his church: that they needed to do. Brother, when I told him that his preacher had no message for me, and I didn't want to hear a thing his preacher had to say. A man who cannot cease from sin and stand before unstable soul, and poison a heart, and cause people to be lost and go to an eternal judgement, he has no message for me. Nor has he received one from God. The dog has turned to his vomit again. And the sow that was washed to her wallowing in the mire (sin( 2: peter 2:22. What the Christian people of the church should do is tell the preacher that you believe in production. If you work in a factory, or if you pump gas. or if you're a carpenter, or what have you, tell him you have to produce. And you believe God's word. And it said, if ye are his chosen one, and He has called him to preach, that these signs would follow them whosoever believeth in my name. They shall cast out demons. They shall speak with new tongues (Mark 16:17). Tell him you're going to stand on God's word. It's time preachers park these church bought cans, and homes, and start producing. A man works from 12 a.m. til 8 a.m.. goes to church, pays what the preach er wants, and his children are still lost. And the preacher is easy at Zion. What you need is some old-time salvation. And say as Paul said to Peter when he said it. Paul said "I withstood to the face (Gala I Hons 2:11). Stand to hi* face, and tell him to win soul*. Jesus won't call a man to preach and not deliver souk from his Holy Word. I know some are already saying, "Brother that's strong, and the devil won't like it." Well, Glory to God! I hope he don't. Brother, I'm like Paul said on one pccassion: "Let no man trouble me. for I bear in my body the mark." Hallelujah! I want to say it again. 1 bear the mark of Christ. And I preach what Jesus says preach. There are plently of baboons who will preach a lie. But 1 won't. 1 can save you the phone call, and of the asking. If you think I will come to your church and rebuke your ene mies and bless your friends. No sir. When I preach I preach for Jesus. What I received is by Jesus. And Jesus alone will help me. I don't fear what man can do to me. It's time we went about God's business: saving souls. Clean up your church. Start with I Timothy 3:1-16. Brother, with God line must be upon Hne. Precept must be upon precept. Then, and only then, will you be able to stand. Some of you will even go as far as to hate me for this message. Have you thought or considered that I could have come to you lying, smoking in and out by saying a little sin now and then won't hurt. With that kind of preaching Satan would give me the largest church and have filled my pockets with money. No doubt, 1 would get a new suit every Holiday. Everyone would even speak well of me. But every time these offers come, 1 hear a small, still voice: "What doth it profit if ye gain the whole world and lose your own soul?" One day we're all going to facejiini. Christ. Y?i ?c*.*nd read. And I understand Jesus when He went into the garden ??topray. And the writer said it was with agony. And it tells of how Jesus fell upon His face, and prayed: "O Father if it be possible let this cup pass.' My God! Have ever thought that if God would have lifted Jesus up and taken him back to Glory. Brother, when Jude spoke in 1:16: "Those which kept not their first estate. He (God) hath reserved in ever lasting choir under darkness unto the judgement of the great day. Yes, I could preach a new story and tell all to eat and drink and be merry. Come to church when you can, or just send your money and we mail the program. But deep in my spirit and soul, I know God called me to preach, to sound the trumpet of warning when the enemy is near. To let Satan and his worshipers know that Jesus is Lord, and He is soon coming. Amen. And if you're born again, Christain. and your children are lost, this message is to help you and your whole house to be saved. Don't give Satan a chance to steal your children. Pray and seek help from the Lord. Yours in Christ Prisoner Gets His Wish For Baptism By Minister RALEIGH ?
