COMPUTERS ARE THE THING TODAY The computer boom is truly on today with everything you read about or see on TV citing the influx of this new age. Know who are knowledge able about computers have an open field, it seems, and Jerry Darnell, who attended com puter classes at PSU, is finding this true at Pinecrest High School in Southern Pines. For two years this high school's Math Department has offered instruction in programming the micro com puter. Darnell is the instruc tor. In addition to writing programs for his personal Apple II micro computer, Darnell has had a wide variety of experiences using other types of computers. Says Darnell: "Computer awareness is integrated into every facet of today's society. It is imperative that the youth of our country have the back ground and necessary prepa ration to compete both in business and in academics. Pinecrest is proud to be able to provide quality instruction and equipment to the youth of our community."

Lnriy A member of Hopcwd Chuck CONSTITUTION I One la a sari** of article* Ami the Lamber River Coa fHence of the HoUnew Meth oOat Church]. 'For my reading audience it a necessary to make some introductory remarks about fie following Articles of IsRglon found on pages 10. 3,12.13.14 and part of page 5 in the Doctrine and Disci iline of the Holiness Metho tist Church (revised in 1962). Tiis reading follows the Pre amble of the Constitution and i| considered very heavy reading for most people's tnderstanding. As you recall. Jus was a part of the plan by lohn Wesley submitted to six preachers on October 26, 1900 at Union Chapel Church in Robeson County, North Caro lina to form the Lumber River Conference. While reading these articles of religion, please keep in mind the setting of this great occasion back in 1900. The six preach ers that accepted this plan must have been very ready to organize a church conference. We can just picture these ministers around the con fesence table saying to one another, what does all of this mean? Again, you must rea lize this was the real begin ning of the LRC. This was before the conference estab lished a school to train people for the ministry. The irony of it all is that after the schooling over the years, our present day ministers 1983 is not familiar with these constitu tional terms as well as the church congregation is not interested in the contents of the Discipline. It would be a safe guess to-wsay about the same percentage who drive "cadillac automobiles" in the county, read the Church Dis cipline. This is one of the real reason for publishing these articles to study and find out some of the real purposes for having so many different church organizations or chur ch conferences in Robeson County. Please get in a comfortable position to read and study the contents of this Church Con stitution as we may learn something of other church plans that you' might share with us in similar articles 0.k.? DIVISION I ARTICLES OF RELIGION 1. Of Faith in the Holy Trinity. IThere is but one living and true God, everlasting, without body or parts, of infinite power, wisdowm and good ness; the maker and preserver of all things, visible and invisible. And in unity of this Godhead there are three persons, of One substance, power and eternity the Fa ther, the Son, and the Holy Ghost. D Of the Word, or Son of God, who waa made very Man. 2. The Son, who was the Word of the Father, the very and eternal God, of one substance with the Father, took man's nature in the womb of the Blessed Virgin; so that two whole and perfect natures, that is to say, the Godhead and Manhood were joined together in one person, never to be divided whereof is one Christ, very God and very Man, who truly suffered, was crucified, died and was buried to reconcile his Father to us, and to be a sacrifice, not only for original guilt, but also for the actual sins of men. ID Of the Resurrection of Christ. 3. Christ did truly rise again from the dead, and took again his body, with all things appertaining to the perfection of man's nature, wherewith he ascended into heaven, and there sitteth until he return to judge all men at the last day. IV Of the Hefy Ghost 4. The Holy Ghost, procee ding from the Father and the Son, is of one > substance, majority and glorV with the Father and the Son. very and eternal God. V The Sufficiency ef the Holy for Salvation. 5. The Holy Scriptures contain all things necessary to novation; so that whatsoever is not read therein, nor may Jje proved thereby, is not to be required of any man that it should be believed as an article ef faith, or be thought requisite or necessary to salvation. In the name of the Holy Scriptures, we do under-' stand those canonical books of the Old and New Testament of whose authorty was never any doubt in the church. The name of the canonied books are: Genesis. Ekodus. Leviti cus. Numbers. Deuteronomy, Joshua. Judges. Ruth, the First Book of Samuel, the Second Book of Samuel, the First Book of Kings, the Second Book of Kings, the First Book of Chronicles, the Second Book of Chronicles, the Book of Ezra, the Book of Nehemiah, the Book of Es ther, the Book of Jbb, the Psalms, the Proverbs, Ec clesiastes or the Preacher, Cantica or Song of Solomon, Four Prophets the Greater, Twelve Prophets the Less. All the books of the New Testament, as fhey are com monly received, we do receive and annount canonical. VI Of the Old Testament. 6. The Old Testament is not contrary to the New: for both in the Old and New Testament everlasting life is offered to mankind by Christ who is the only Mediator between God and man. being both God and Man. Wherefore they are not to be heard who feign that the old fathers did look only for transitory promises. Although the law given from God by Moses as touching ceremon ies and rites doth not bind Christians, not ought the civil precepts thereof of necessity be received in any common wealth; yet notwithstanding, no Christian whatsoever is free from the obedience of the commandments which are called moral. VD1 Of Original on Birth Sin 7. Original sin standeth not in the following of Adam (as the Pelegians do vainly talk), but it is the corruption of the nature of every man, that naturally is engendered of the offspring ofAdam, whereby man is very far gone from original righteousness. And of his own natue is inclined to evil, and that continually. VDl Of Free Will 8. The condition of man after the fall of Adam is such .that he cannot turn and prepare himself, by his own natural strength and works to faith, and calling upon God: wherefore we have no power to do good works, pleasant and acceptable to God, with out the grace of God by Christ preventing us, that we may have a good will, and working with us, when we have that good will. IX Of the Justification of Man 9. We are accounted right eous before God only for the merit of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, by faith, and not for our own works or deserv ings. Wherefore, that we are justified by faith only is a most wholesome doctrine, and very full of comfort. X Of Good Works SO. Although good works, which are the fruits of faith, and follow after justification cannot put away our sins, and endure the severity of God's judgements: yet are they pleasing and acceptable to God in Christ, and spring out of a true and lively faith, insomuch that by them a lively faith may be as evi dently known as a tree is discerned by its fruit. XI Of Works of Superero gation 11. Voluntary works- be sides, over, and above God's commandments which are called works of supereroga tion, cannot be taught without arrogancy and impiety. For by them men do declare that they do not only render unto God as much as they are bound to do, but that they do more for his sake than of bounden duty is required; whereas Christ saith plainly; when Ve have done all that is commanded of you, say, we are unprofitable servants. XD Of Sin After Justification 12. Not every sin willingly committed after justification is the sin against the Holy Ghost, and unpardonable. Wherefore, the grant of re pentance is not to be denied to such as fall into sin after justification; after we have received the Holy Ghost, w? may depart from grace given, and fall into sin, and. by the Grace of God. rise again and amend our lives. And there fore, they are to be condem ned who say they caa no aauiu abi as long as they Bvo buret or deny tbu pkare af fargfve XDI Of tbo Church 13. The visfcle Chruch of Christ is a congregation of faithful man in which the pure word of God is preached, and the Sacraments duly admin istered according to Christ's ordinance, in all those things that of necessity are requisite to the same. XIV Of Pmrgataiy 14. The Romish doctrine concerning purgatory, par don, worshipping and adora tion, as well of images as of relics, and also invocation of saints, is a fond thing, vainly invented, and grounded upon no warrant of scriptures, but repugnant to the Word of God. XV Of Speaking ta the Con gregation In each a Tongue as the People Understand. 15. It is a thing plainly repugnant to the Word of God, and the custom of the primitive Church, to have public prayer in the church, or to administer Sacraments, in a tongue not understood by the people. XVI Of the Sacraments 16. Sacraments ordained of Christ are not only badges or tokens of Christian men's profession, but rather they are certain signs of grace, and God's good will toward 'us by the which he doth work invisibly in us, and doth not only quicken, but also streng- ] then and confirm, our faith in Him.

SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON A Ministry of the Burnt Swamp Association by Rev. Mike Camming*, Pastor, Mt. Airy Baptist Church Luke 10:25-37 TEACHING ABOUT COMPASSION The teaching ministry of Jesus was recognized by His contemporaries as supernatu ral. John 3:2 and Mark 1:22. This lesson on compassion focuses our attention to a clear picture of neighborliness which characterizes eternal life. Jesus is often "tempted" by men with unholy motives to entrap Him. Matthew 22:34 and Mark 12:28f. A certain lawyer asked Jesus a popular yet profound question- "Who is my neighbor?" The law yer's answer came like so many others did from Jesus by means of a parable demonstrating the obvious conclusion. Notice Jesus' response. He told a stoy illustrating the details of neighborliness. No one's personal name was mentioned. Jesus spoke gen erally so that the puzzled lawyer could find himself in the story. There was a certain man, a certain robber, a certain Levite, a certain priest and a certain Samaritan. The lawyer might be any one of their} Except the last, never a Samaritan. Notice the particulars of the story. The certain man was traveling a very dangerous 17 mile stretch of road through wild, desolate country that was known to be a safe hide out for robbers. Polks traveled this Jerusalem to Jericho route often for business which made travelers easy and desirable targets for outlaws. Such a thing happened upon a day. Two very prominent religi . ous leaders came by the wounded, robbed, half-dead man and refused to help him. If the wounded mat had been dead, the priest and Levite would have been forbidden by law to touch him. At the least, - the wounded and needy man could have been dangerous or bothersome. They don't T*. Sipo. ?*, ask the wrong question " What happens to me if I stop to see about this man?" They should ask the rght question: "What happens to this man if i don't stop to see about him?" the one man who does ask the right question is an unlikely Samaritan. No Jew. the wounded man is likely Jewish ever gave the time of day to a Samaritan. Yet, this Samari tan showed love to him all the way through to his healing. He was moved by a genuinely . neighborly heart. Anything good enough for himself was not too good for this wounded man, or for anyone else. Reminds us of our Lord doesn't he? Jesus taught that eternal life, in response to the lawyer, is not just long life, but good life. See I John 3:15. It is a compassionate life. It is the life of a neighbor. The words of Jesus to the lawyer were convincing and convicting. How do they sound to you?. ISN'T THIS A 'SexvdjjfjuL n)axf,! EXPECT SOMETHING WONDERFUL TO HAPPEN
