" Erery Iky IVtta-BwryDty Creator"
slow many among ui can know for aura what we will do in the
near future?. At a matter or consideration, It may be better for all
people that we choose the thort term concept with regard to
phnntn For example, there are so many matters of interest
which cannot be chanced once they have .been set in motion by
man. With reference to some matters which cannot be changed,
time is one matter far beyond our changing. Enough time changes
things but things do not change time. In addition, people do not
change certain events or patterns which occur because of time.
Time happens to be an eternal glory. If the idea expressed here is
true, and I would rather think so, it become a must that people
engage in work according to the time element
; Wherever one may choose to visit for a short while, he finds,
every day people struggling to maintain existence with every day
problems, but with an every day God. No people should feel
down-trodden because of usual situations which tend to move
against them. It should be remembered here that evil situations
are usual situations for the most part. Because of our evil nature,
any group of people is subject tc )se its direction. In spite of
evils, men need to be faced with certain challenges that they may
continue to know how to overcome life at it worse for future
reference. However, our every day Creator will not help His
people as they had anticipated unless they change their wrongful
direction. Further, we realize very well that earth has no sorrows
that heaven cannot cure, but earth does have some sorrows that
heaven will not cure immediately. Here again time is important
but no man has power to rush God into making a decision.
Basically, our Creator requires of ail that we remember Him in
all that we do. He has never required all of us to do the same
things all day long nor in degrees of like manner. Remembering
our Creator is not accomplished through our efforts to cause
cause all actions to cease for a long tune period. However, mere
are times when people can remember the Father better by being
somewhere on the move rather than sitting somewhere gazing.
The real God whom some of us serve for real is a moving spirit. In
fact, when He sits down, He is still moving.
He who hath ears to hear - let him hear.

World Famous Doychoir
In Concert Hero Sunday
The world famous Columbus
Boychoir will be presented in
concert Sunday, November 9 at 4
p.m.. at Durham High School
Auditorium sponsored by the
Durham Boys Choir. The Columbus
Boychoir is the country's oldest
and only professional-resident
boychoir with headquarters located
at. Princeton, New Jersey; the
Musical Director is Donal Hanson.
This is a benefit concert for die
local Durham Boys Choir, and
funds from the sale of tickets will
aid the work of the Durham Boys
Choir. Tickets are available in
advance or at the door for $2, and
group rates are available in advance.
Ages of boys in the Columbus
Boychoir range from 9 -14. So rare
is a vocal ensemble of their high
quality - whatever the ages of its
singers - that these youngsters' '
concerts are in constant demand. In
addition to their highly successful
annual tour of the United States,
they have thrilled audiences in
Europe, South and Central
America, and the Far East.
Performances at New York's
Lincoln Center, the White House,
and an audience with Pope Paul VI
at the Vatican have proven their
singular prominence.
Like all professional artists of
stature, these boys work very hard
at their art - perhaps harder than
most - for they combine their task
of learning music with the task of
growing up. Each member of the
choir is a product of the
extraordinary Columbus Boychoir
School Students are selected, by
audition from hundreds of talented
applicants. As they live and play
together, they receive intensive
instruction not only in music and
related performance techniques,
but in 8 complete academic
discipline, as well.
Columbus Boychoir audiences
are assured a deeply satisfying
musical experience. Hanson, the
group's young director, has
communicated to his singers the joy
' of performing the best music in the
best posible way. The ensemble is
one of sensitive, intelligent young
musicians. Their earnestness and
zeal, fused by the musical genius of
their director, creates one of the
world's great vocal instruments, full
of life and beauty.
