LOUISBURG METHODIST
CHURCH
* _____ *??
Sunday morning at il:ftO Mr.
Phillips will give a special feature
in remembrance of the church
members who have died during
the four years he has served the
church. It seems remarkable that
only sixteen have passed away
during t>he four years. This will
not be a sad service, but a very
happy service, with thoughts of
the blessedness of those who die
in the Lord. The names of these
sixteen will be mentioned, and
special tribute paid also to the
great host of believers who have
served God through the church
and have been called up higher
during the 150 years of Metho
dist worship in the community.
At the evening service, begin
ning ati 7 : 30 the pastor will preach
on the topic, "God's Side of
Things."
Sunday School is at 9:45, and
the young people will meet at St.
Paul's Church at 6:30 as guests
of the Episcopalian young people.

JTO CELKBKATE FAMILY DAY
ON SUNDAY, OCTOBER ?tth
Last Sunday the pastor, Dr. A.
Paul Bagby continued t-he series
of sermons on "Worship" speak
ing on "Prerequisites." He intro
duced the subject with' the use of
the text Micah 6:5-8 and the ques
tion found therein, "Wherewith
shall I come before the Lord?"
The purpose of worship is the
meeting of man with God in a
special way that man may be en
riched. Three definite prerequis
ites stand out: man must do just
ly, love ptercy, and walk humbly.
Bach year the Baptist Church
celebrates Family Day. All the
families of the church are urged
to come and sit together. Child
ren from 1 year old up to 8 years
old are expected along with their
parents. The dedication of these
children makes one of the most
beautiful and helpful exercises.
The service will last' for just
about three quarters of an hour ?
, from eleven untrtv4fleven forty
five.
Worship services at 11:00 A.
M. for Family Diy exorcises. Wor

Washington, D. C. ? The American Home ? traditionally the symbol of
security and safety ? rival* the highway as the sAne of the nation's
greatest number of accident fatalities. <
In a statement issued here by the Home and FarmAccldent Preven
tion Service of the American Red Coss, it was pointed o?t that accidents
in the home, including falls, burns and other common mishaps, claimed
32,000 ltVM last year ? only 604 less than the number of motor vehicle
death*. Farm accident* accounted for an additional 4,200 deaths.
Statistics showed that home deaths last year increased 604 over the
preceding year and farm accideot* increased 300.
In addition to a mounting death toll, home and farm accidents last
year caused upwards of 4,700,004 injuries which resulted in economic
losses running into millions of dollars. /

tion prqgram a* a parallel project with the First Aid and Life Saving
Services. This year, 9,000,000 "check |
lists" describing accident Hazards
and urging their removal *111 be
distributed throughout the country.
Approximately 2,000 Red Cross
chapters have undertaken a pro
gram to acquaint householders in
their vicinities with accident haz
ards in the home and on the tarm.
Chapters will be aided by the
Junior Red Cross and the schools
in distributing the "check lists."
The program will stress the vital i
imiI for removing accident hazards [
! tails, as this type ot acci
u it i 'Milted in more than halt of
last year's home accident fatalities, j
''. rns i.i:d explosions caused the I
: -xt Heaviest loss of life. *1
An hil l! t prevention is one of
iv.ii services conducted day to

ileirni death and suffering arising
