Page Two Community Correspondence Lizard Lick “God deserves more tnan skim milk from the cream of our time and earnings.” Let us go into the house of the Lord regularly to worship and give of what we have freely. Come to church next Sunday and bring a friend. Only one day out of seven we go to the house of <sod. Such a short time given in return for so much. Think about it and pray about it. The Missionary Society met at the Community Center Friday after noon of last week at 2:30. The Baker Bible Class will meet at the Community Center on Wed nesday night of this week at 7:30. Here is a reminder that the cem etery still needs some work done on many of the plots. If you know the people to call on to do this and they don’t know what has been asked, please let them know. The revival has been set for a week earlier at Hephzibah. In stead of beginning the second Sunday, it will begin the first Sunday in September. Hope it will* meet with the approval of everyone. The pastor plans to secure help for that time. There were 207 at Hephzibah Sunday, much less than the Sunday before. It could not have been the weather, but perhaps was due to so much sickness in the community. Let’s hope there will be more present next Sunday. A word passed on to our sick, or flowers, or a visit would be ap preciated, I’m sure. Among our sick are Mr. and Mrs. Johnny Carter, Mrs. Zeb Pearce, Mrs. A. F. Starnes, and Miss Crettie Parrish. Mr. J. Q. Pearce was taken ill and taken to the hospital Satur day night. Mr. Sherwood Horton is still in the hospital and shows little improvement. We would like to remember Mr. T. Y. Puryear, Sr., who has been in ill health so long. 'May he soon return to his home healed. Glad to say I’m improved from last week when my sinus began acting up. Seems my ailments jump from my head to my feet. Perhaps they will soon run out. My leg is also much improved, and the walking with crutches is almost becoming a thing of the past. I’m so glad and thankful. Next week I will tell about walk ing again. May the healing hand reach out to all our sick everywhere and restore them to health very soon.

Gay and son, Mr. and Mrs. Johnnie Jones and sons of this section, and Mr. Joe Tucker of Raleigh journeyed to Petersburg, Va., Sunday before last to visit their sister, Mrs. Har vey Hammond, Jr. They reported a very successful trip.

There was quite a large group at church last Sunday, but there are still some faces that are not ap pearing in the audience. We also saw a few new faces and are hop ing to see more next Sunday. Everyone enjoyed the sermon delivered by our pastor, Vivian Evans. His topic was “Christ’s Sermon on the Mount.” He took his scripture from the Beatitudes in Matthew 5:1-12. It was a won derful sermon. God speed and recovery goes to the sick of our community and everyone who is afflicted.

There were 50 guetss who were served coca colas, candy, cakes, and ritz crack ers by the hostesses Mrs. J. L. King of Raleigh and Mrs. Jim Dent. The shower was at the home of Mrs. Jim Dent. Remember choir practice Fri day night, and go to the church of your choice on Sunday.

I know whom I have believed, and am persuaded that he is able to keep that which I have com mitted unto him against that day. 2 Timothy 1:12. There was no choir practice on Friday night of last week.

Mrs. Janice Denton celebrated her 17th birthday last Thursday, and Mrs. Inez Creech celebrated her 19th birthday. Hope they live to be twice their age. Union Chapel Church gave Rev. Vivian Evans a surprise birthday party last Tuesday night. He re ceived a lot of nice and beauti ful presents. There were 24 pres ent and everyone enjoyed it very much. I can certainly say Rev. Evans was surprised. The news has just come in, and the announcer said Prince Aly Khan had broken his leg in three places. Do you know why? The “Mule Train” ran over him. Ha! Ha! But no joking, he broke it skiing. In my news in last Friday’s pa per, I spoke of Jack Creech’s “ghost.” Well, here are the details of it. He and his wife were com ing home from Mr. Arkell’s store, and just before you get to the di vision of his land, there is col ored graveyard. When his lights focussed on the graveyard, there was a truck which looked as if it were loaded with timber, he said. His wife saw it first and remark ed about it. Jack said that it looked as if it pulled on up the path towards his house. He be gan to speed up, and then he said it completely disappeared. His wife said the truck did not ever get to their home. Jack said he saw this, and it was true because his wife saw it too .Believe it or not. There was some pretty meat killed last week. Those killing hogs in this community were Mr. Woodrow Richards and Mr. Charles Creech. This is cold enough weather to keep their meat. I hope they don’t lose it.

LIFE’S TAPESTRY My life is but a weaving, Between my Lord and me, I cannot choos ethe colors, Nor all the pattern see. Ofttimes He weaveth sorrow And I in foolish pride Forget He sees the upper And I the under side. Not till the loom is silent And the shuttles cease to fly Shall God unroll the canvas And explain the reason why The dark threads are as needful In the weaver’s skillful hand As the threads of gold and silver, In the pattern He has planned. Mrs. Polly Fuller. Friday, February 24, 1950 Pleasant Hill There were 207 present for Sunday School last Sunday. You don’t know how' much you miss the good sermon.
