SIX RULES FOR BEING '
NEEDED, WANTED, AND
UKED BY OTHERS...
I received these illuminat
ing thoughts from my friend
and fellow humanist. Ruth
Mundy. The six rules come
from a seminar she occasion
ally conducts named "Adven
tures in Attitudes."
The six rules are:
"I. Learn to understand and
tolerate others' weaknesses
and limitations.
"2. Take discourtesies, ac
cusations. and injustices
calmly - even the ones you
don't deserve.
"3. Avoid judging, con
demning. and ignoring others.
"4. Let others criticise, in
1
r
form, and advise you.
"5. Do not pout, sulk, brood,
or carry grudges.
"6. Help others get the
things they want. (And you
will get the things you want!)"
Those are pretty good rules
for living ...wouldn't you say?
Usually Mrs. Mundy teaches
the seminar through the aus
pices of Robeson Technical
Institute; if you ever hear she
is conducting the seminar be
sure and take part, especially
if you are interested in learn
ing how to live peacefully with
others.
FALWELL FAILS IN
ATTEMPT TO SUPPRESS
PENTHOUSE INTERVIEW
LYNCHBURG. Va -The
television preacher who
founded Moral Majority lost a
bid Monday to halt sales of
Penthouse magazine because
its March issue contains an
interview with him that he
claims was obtained under
false pretenses.
The ruling aginst the Rev.
Jerry Falwell was issued by
U.S. District Judge James C.
Turk, who said the consti
tutional right of free speech
outweighed any potential
damage to the Baptist minister
that might result from the
interview.
Turk refused to grant a
preliminary injunction extend
ing his previous order tem
porarily banning distribution
of the men's magazine, which
features color photographs of
nude women and graphic
accounts of sexual relations.
"The scales tip decidedly in
favor of the public interest."
Turk said. He defined the
public as the estimated 10
million people who read the S
million copies of Penthouse
circulated each month.

I
Turk said if Faiwell wanted to
pursue the issue he should sue
the magazine for damages
rather than try to prevent its
distribution. "It is a First
Amendment case." he said.
Faiwell did not dispute the
accuracy of the interview.
Faiwell should have known
better; truth is not afraid of the
darkness nor of appearing in
Penthouse Magazine or any
other place.

MUCH FOR WHICH TO BE
THANKFUL IN AMERICA
This is a good lime of year to reflet on the fortunate
circumstances which most of us enjoy The elections are
over, and we have expressed our opinion onthe stale of our
nation. While all of the candidates you and I supported may
not have won. we did. after all. have the opportunity ?
along with millions of other Americans ? to make our
voices heard.
Now it is time to consider the wonders of the system
which guarantees us that right.
In the United States of America we are propelled by the
most fundamental of principles ? the right to be free.
People from oppressed societies know that. They continue
to risk (heir lives in leaky boats to cross hundreds of miles of
ocean carrying a few personal belongings and clinging to a
ray of hope ... hope that they too may taste freedom. The
first "boat people" to come to this continent seeking
freedom landed at Jamestown. Virginia, in the early 1600s.
Others landed a few years later at Plymouth, Massachusetts,
and they have been coming ever since. Today they come
from Southeast Asia ... from Cuba and Haiti... and the) all
come seeking economic and personal freedom.
All of the claims of the Communist world are subject to
scrutiny as the world watches those little ships escaping
from Vietnam or the crowded boats moving across the
straits of Florida ? people willing to do anything to be free,
to escape tyranny.
Let us look at the record of the free world. Let us
examine some of the fruits of the labor of free people, their
accomplishments ? our accomplishments.
in America, each generation has always expected the
next to be better, to have more ... more education, more
material comforts, better health, greater enjoyment, greater
personal security, and more peace of mind. That's been the
case for most of the last 200 years. Of course, this country
was founded by those who wanted more ... they yearned for
greater opportunity and more personal freedom. They left
England with a determination to attain it here. Later, they
rebelled against the Mother country because even after
escaping the geographical confines of England, they had
still not achieved the economic and personal freedom they
sought.
The Declaration of Independence changed all that. The
last 200 years have been years in which free men and
women have had the opportunity to live and prosper in a
free enterprise environment The result: the highest standard
of living ever achieved in the history of the world.
The free enterprise system has helped us to be the best
fed, best dressed, and best endowed people in the world.
We have built tens of thousands of great schools, and
provided pur children w ith an education that even the most
privileged few could not obtain 100 years ago. We have
built thousands of great hospitals and conquered disease in a
way beyond the wildest dreams of the medical practitioners
of a century ago. We have built tens of thousands of
churches and staffed them with dedicated people to minister
to our spiritual needs. We have added fifty percent to our
life expectancy; split the atomr planted our flag on the
moon, created great literature, exciting architecture and
enduring music.
And so we could go on in a litany to the great
achievements Americans have accomplished in the last 100
years.
Some may be critical that production of material
wealth should not be a major goal in life. True, wealth for
its own sake should not. But only when a society or nation
produces surplus wealth is it possible to develop all the
other aspects of the good life ? better education ? better
health ? more leisure ? cultural activities ? music ? art
? literature ? churches ? schools and hospitals. All these
depend on surplus wealth. Without it, we fall back to a
primitive existence. The free enterprise system is the best
wealth production system the world has ever known. Even
the poor in a free economy have more than the rich in other
systems. A rising tide raises all boats, large and small.
Each step in our lives presents a new challenge. At this
milestone in our nation's history ... moving into the decade
of the eighties ... the challenge is to maintain and improve
upon that which has given us the ability to achieve
greatness, our productive capacity. The resources are
available. The promise remains. It's now up to us. The
American Dream need not die, if we have the will to keep it
alive.

' f\ everlasting We." Yj)
Everywhere you look in the
world today, you will notice
that the emphasis is on money.
A popular adage declares that
"Money makes the world go
round." I beg to differ with
that observation.
God's Word declares that the
love of money is the root of all
evil. These days one's wealth
or status in life is measured by
how much money you have, it
has become such a hassle to
just "get by" in this old cruel
world, it is all one can do to
"turn from iniquity" in order
to make a living. God's Word
tells us. in no uncertain terms,
that we should put God first'
in our lives when we accept
Him as our Personal Savior.
Indeed, ffiese are perilous
times in which we live. It
seems that one has to put God
on the back burner and
earning money on the front
burner. It should not be this
way.
The Good News in this sad
commentary, however, is that
the best deal existing today is
free of charge to you. The
price for this gift has already
been paid. The work has been
done.
You see. "For God so loved
the world, that he gave his
' only begotten Son. that who
soever believeth in him should
not perish, but have everlast
ing life." John 3:16. God loves
you so much that He gave His
only begotten son that you
might have the opportunity to
I inherit eternal life.
That was a monumental
sacrifice in itself. But then,
(God took off His royal robe of
authority in heaven and mani
fested His presence here on
earth in the fleshly form of
Jesus Christ. Then, because
I He loves you and I. He offered
up the greatest sacrifice of all
time. He lay down His life on
the cross for the remission of
man's sins.
)The truth of the matter is that
"God saw that the wickedness
of man was great in the earth,
and that every imagination of
(the thoughts of his heart was
only evil continually." Genesis
6:5. And. God observed that
all men had sinned and-come
short of the glory of God.
(In other words, the way
things were going, all mankind
was headed straight for hell
because of their sins.
?So. "Christ died for our
sins...", or. so declares 1
Corinthian 15:3. "For since by
man came death, by man came
i also the resurrection of the
k dead." 1 Corinthians 15:21.
I When Adam sinned in the
I Garden of Eve. he brought
r down the curse of death on all
. men. This is because "the
| wages of sin is death. That is
why. when Jesus Christ, as
man. took on the sins of the
world. He had to die in order
for us to inherit Salvation. We
should always remember that
Jesus was blameless: He
never commited one sin. If He
had sinned. He would have
had to die to cover His own
sins. But. He never sinned; He
was perfect and blameless. He
died for you and me. and all of
mankind, that we might in
herit eternal life.
The thing we need to keep in
mind is if you inherit some
thing you don't have to work
for it. All you need do is claim
it. As soon as you acknowledge
that it is yours, it becomes
your property.
Salvation is gained the same
way. The price has already
been paid by Someone else.
God gave His only begotten
Son that it might be made
possible. Then. Christ suffer
ed humiliating and demeaning
treatment from the Jews and
Romans before giving up the
ghost on the cross.
God's Word outlines the
simple procedure necessary to
gain Salvation.
We are told in Acts 16:31 to
"Believe on the Lord Jesus
Christ, and thou shalt be
saved, and thy house." Here,
we see that we not onlv receive
the greatest gift ever,
but we get a bonus as well. In
the Book of Titus, in God's
Word, we are told that God
cannot lie.
A favorite example of mine
concerning this is: Let us
consider that your house was
broken into by a thief or
intruder. You parents would
fight until the jast breath left
your bodies to protect your
family or household. Yet. you
are offered a chance to save f
them from the grim clutches of
hell.
Will you make that great
commitment today. Commit
your life to Jesus. His grace is
sufficient.
Remember. God didn't create
hell for man. We are told in
Matthew 25:41 that hell was
created for the devil and his
angels. Yet, if you. or your
children once they reach the
age of accountability, die
without Christ, you will burn
in hell.
Accept the Lord Jesus Christ
as your Personal Savior today.
Forget all the vain babbling,
and all the different doctrines
you have been exposed to. The
main thing to remember is that
the only thing that will send
you or your family to hell is to
die without Christ.
Continue to love and pray for
one another.
1 THIS IS THE LAW
Sponsored by The Lawyers of North Carolina
PRE-NEED BURIAL CONTRACTS
Mrs. Smith, an elderly
widow with no children,
wanted to make sure there
would be money for her
funeral and burial. In fact,
she wanted to go so far as
to arrange her own funeral
and pay for it in advance.
What options are avail
able to her?
Of course, she could
make the funeral arrange
ments with her funeral
director, and she could set
aside the money in her
savings account.
But North Carolina law
also provides protection
for her if she wants to pay
the money to the funeral
director in advance.
If she makes the ar
rangements prior to death
and also pays the funeral
director, he must deposit
the funds in a bank or
savings and loan. If she
later changes her mind,
she may withdraw the
funds.
These so-called "pre
need burial contracts" are
becoming more and more
firevalent in North Caro
ina.
