.Gospol of Chri$t
Rom. 1:16; 1 Cor. 9:18; 2Cor.4:4
Subject: "A Christian".
By B. R. CURD: Minister
A Christian is a disciple of
Christ. "And the disciples were
called Christians first at Antl
och," Acts 11:26. Christians (ac
cording to the Bible t are those
born into Christ. The "ian" in
Christian (as in Brazilian or
Canadian), means BORN INTO.
Therefore one with ONLY belief
in Christ (with faith only) is
NOT A Christian, being NOT'
born into Christ, "For as many j
of you as have been baptized
into Christ have put on Christ."
Gal. 3:27. "For by one spirit
(under the spirit's direction) are
we all baptized into one body,"
I Cor. 12:13. Paul writing to
saint's at Colosse "Who hath
delivered us from the power of
darkness, and translated us into
the kingdom of his dear Son":
Col. 1:13. "Except a man be
born of WATER and of the
SPIRIT, he cannot enter the
kingdom of God." (Emphasis
mine). Therefore one becomes
a Christian only after baptism.
And only by baptism Is one
born into the kingdom or
church. "Ye see by works a man
is justified, and NOT by faith
only." James 2:24.
Being A Christian or Having
Christian Attitude: .
Contrary to the commonly ac
cepted idea, being a Christian
and having Christian ways are
NOT the same thing. There are
many outside the kingdom or
church, who live good moral
lives. It is possible to have a
Christian attitude and NOT be
a Christian. On the other hand,
many Christians have stumbled
(returned to worldliness), which
is usually caused by failure to
attend Bible study and every
hour of worship, and falling to
learn how a Christian should
live. This situation will be elim
inated as soon as every Chris
tian WAKES UP to his or her
duty. "Not forsaking the as
sembling of ourselves together,
as the manner of some is; but
exhorting one another; and so
much the more as ye see the
day approaching." Heb. 10:25.
A Christian minus PRIDE:
Pride is in the same class as:
"Thefts, covetousness, wicked
ness, deceit, lascivlousness, an
evil eye, blasphemy, PRIDE,
foolishness: All these evil things
come from within, and defile
the man." Mark 7:22,23. The
PROUD are such as; "Back
biters, haters of God, despiteful,
PROUD, boasters, inventors of
evil things, disobedient to par
ents, without understanding,
covenant breakers, without na
tural affection, implacable, un
merciful." Rom. 1:30-31. . .and
the PRIDE OF LIFE, is not of
the Father, but is of the world."
I John 2:16. A CHRISTIAN
must be free from Pride. The
word proud is sometimes used
when one really means the
word thankful.
A Christian Plus Love:
"Love worketh no ill to ? his
neighbor: therefore love is the
fulfilling of the law." Rom.
13:10. "For I am persuaded,
that neither death, nor life, nor
angels, nor principalities, nor
powers, nor things present, nor
things to come, nor height, nor
depth, nor any other creature,
shall be able to separate us
from the love of God, nfrhich is
in Christ Jesus our Lord." Rom.
8:38,39. (Only man can sepa
rate himself (Jude 22). "If any
man say, I love God, and
hateth his brother, he is a liar:
for he . that loveth not his
brother whom he hath seen,
how can he love God whom he
hath not seen?" I John 4:20.
The time spent in hating, will
subtract from the time that
could be spent in loving that
which is good! Attention, Chris
tians! do not let hatred creep
into your life, because it will
deprive you of love. ?
Invitation to be a Christian.:
Be a Christian and a Chris
tian only today. Ministers of
the Gospel of Christ urge you
to attend the worship with
churches of Christ, that you
might learn how to live as a
Christian, as well as become a
Christian. You will only hear
the Gospel of Christ in true
churches of Christ, as that is
our only business. "Come thou,
with us and we will do thee
good." We shall be happy to
assist you in your obedience to
Christ at any time day or night.
We will meet for worship on
Bidwell Street at Lyle Sundays
10, Bible Study, 11, worship,
evening, 7:30. Should you have
questions or desire information
about the church, call Phone
327-M, or write Box 102, Frank
lin, N. C.

Workmen are shown putting the finishing touches on Green street, one of four Franklix
streets surfaced this year with Powell Bill funds. The town is about a mile a.nd a half short ol
reaching the half-way mark in having all its streets paved. The black section in the background
is a portion of the street that had been tarred but not graveled. The four streets were surfaced
at a cost of $12,422.43,
Less Than Half Of Franklin Streets
Have Been Surfaced, Figures Show
With less than half its streets
surfaced, Franklin has a lot of
paving in its future.
Figures compiled by Town
Clerk C. O. Ramsey show that
the town is approximately one
mile and a half short of reach
ing the half-way mark in pav
ing its streets. There are ap
proximately eight miles of un
surfaced streets as compared
with six and a half miles of
surfaced ones.
These mileage figures do not
include Main, Palmer, Iotla,
Porter, and Depot streets and
Harrison avenue ? all of which
are maintained by the state
highway department.
In the last two years, the
town has paved approximately
a mile and a half using its
share of funds from the Powell
bill, an act of the 1951 general
assembly which sets aside one
half cent of the state tax col
lected on each gallon of gaso
line for paving and maintain
ing municipal streets that are
not listed on the state highway
system.
Recently a paving concern
completed the surfacing of
Green, Macon, and Anderson
streets and Golfview drive. To
tal cost of the job was $12,422.
43. Since Franklin's Powell bill
check this year was only for
$9,830.37, the balance came out
of the general fund and was
charged to street improvement,
according to .Mr. Ramsey.
In 1951, the town's Powell
Bill check for $8,920.36 covered
the cost of paving Phillips,
Cherry, Second, and West Rog
ers streets.
At the rate of a mile a year,
and assuming that Powell Bill
aid continues to flow in,
Franklin streets should be com
pletely paved in about eight
years.
Here's the picture, as of to
day:
Dirt streets, untreated, 11,
067 feet; graveled streets, 31,
436 feet; paved streets, 34,327
feet.
Miss Roper Wins
Poetry Contest
.Miss Mildred Roper, a Frank
lin native who is working in
Burlington, recently won the
6th congressional district poetry
contest sponsored by the Poetry
Council of North Carolina with
her entry, "Night's Evening
Gown".
Her winning poem:
I watched the shadows fall this
eve
Upon the qullet town,
Softly, gently, lovely, now,
They wove their evening yown,
First, a strand of flaming red,
A border for the hem,
Then, as the light began to fade,
The color grew more dim.
And the misty hue of dusk,
Fashioned from her grey
A dress of silver lace,
A sequence to the day.
And then the night, the mystic
night,
A velvet cloak did spread,
And sprinkled tiny sequins
Of stars from overhead.
The only newspaper
in the world devoted
exclusively to Macon
County is The Franklin
Press.
