Hobby Show Offers Wide Range Of
Delights, Tea Sets To Tropical Fish
Many Interests
Revealed; Too Few
Attend Exhibit
About 60 exhibitors displayed
their hobbies, talents, collections
and dreams in a richly varied
“Hobby Show” presented by .the
Southern Pines elementary school
children Monday afterjioon and
evening of last week.
Adults as well as children pre
sented displays, which covered a
wide range, from sea shells to
dancing dolls, stamps to soap and
train models to tropical fish.
All too, few people visited the
school gym to enjoy the displays,
while the exhibitors waited ea
gerly for the crowds who did not
come.
Those who stayed away missed
an unusual and thrilling show, in
fectious in its enthusiasms. A hope
has been expressed that it can be
held over, at a time of year when
there are not so many other de
mands on people’s time. A free
will collection was taken for the
purchase of shrubbery for the
school grounds.
Collections included rocks,
coins, postcards, dolls of all sorts,
doll furniture, figurines, pitchers,
tiny bars of soap; “things-to-do”
hobbies, covered painting, pup-'
peteering, handcrafts, games,
books. Few were routine; some
were extremely unusual, such as
Barbara Baker’s collection of ear
rings, Arden Fobes’ sheet music,
Peter Winkelman’s models of all
types of horse-drawn vehicles,
from a royal carriage to a milk
wagon.
The third-grader’s tea-set vied
for interest with the stunning ab
stract paintings of Jane Carter,
artist of note; the orchid watercdl-
ors of Mrs. Dan McNeill; the ex
quisite dolls collected by Mrs.
John Cline, including some of
unique history and interest, and
the matchbook covers dear to the
heart of the Cub Scout;
No complete list of exhibitors
was made. Some may be omitted,
though not intentionally, from
that below:
Joe Garzi^k, David Peterson,
Dickie Renegar, Jimmy Weather-
spoon, Peter Winkelman, Linda

TRIGGER-HAPPY? No—just hobby-happy. Henry Turner,
Jr., whose collection of firearms old and new made an interesting
exhibit, shows an admiring young lady, Judy Lunceford, just how
it’s done. Judy also has a hobby. The beautifullly dressed doll
she is holding, taken from her exhibit, is partly visible in the
picture. (Pilot Staff Photo)
HORSES, HORSES, HORSES are Beth Turner’s hobby—also
painting, and what do you guess she paints? Horses.
An unidentified youngster examines an item from Beth’s dis
play, while Bob McConnell looks on. Bob is showing his stamp
album and also, tucked in his arm, an item from his collection of
cookbooks. To the comment that this was an unusual hobby,
Bob answered promptly, “I like good food, so why shouldn’t I
like cookbooks?” Quite reasonable, we’d say! (Pilot Staff Photo)

End Of The World
Lesson for May 17, 1953
Dr. Foreman
there aren’t
'T'HE first part of the New Test-
amen^ to be put into writing
was not any one of the gospels;
it was an epistle. Which one^ is not
absolutely certain; but it may
very well have been the pair of
letters Paul wrote to the Thessal-
onians. There is much too much
in them for all of it to be put into
one Sunday school lesson. One
thing certainly seems very mod
ern: the Thessalonlans, and per
haps Paul too, were under the im
pression that their times were the
last times. The end of the world
seemed to be right around the cor
ner. That was nearly 2,000 years
ago. But what with the A-bomb
and now the H-bomb, it looks as
if this ancient fear might not be
off-center at all nowadays. It is
worth while to think—What if this
year 1953 really is the last chapter
in history?
* * •
God flas His Plans
One thing does seem clear from
the Bible, whatever else people
may quarrel about: The end of
the world will be
brought about by
God, not man. It
is quite possible,
as the most dis
tinguished scien
tists tell us, that
any one H-bomb
will totally and
instantly destroy
life in a circle of
300 square miles.
But this earth is
a large one, and
enough H-bombs to carpet the
whole place. The civilized nations,
so-called, may blow each other off
the map; but there will be a,lot of
uncivilized ones left that don’t have
money for H-bombs and couldn’t
even speU the word. “Civilization
as we know it” can be destroyed
by man; but not the heavens and
the earth. This is not to call the
H-bomb a trifle; its use would be
the most colossal evil ever devised
at one stroke by mankind. But
while the use of it might well be
the last chapter for all readers of
this paper, there are people who
can’t read (in Patagonia for in
stance) who would scarcely know
the thing had been dropped. When
Gqd is ready to bring the whole
story of man to an end, he will do
it. Men will not.
« « «
Suppose This Is It?
St. Francis of Assisi, such a uni
versal Christian that both tile Ro
man Catholic church and the Sal
vation Army have claimed him for
their own. was once asked, while
he was hoeing in the garden, “What
would you do if you knew the
world was coming to an end this
afternoon?” His answer was: “I
would go on and finish this hoe
ing.” Paul had to deal with this
problem in the Thessalonian
chiurch. His first letter to them got
them to thinking the end of all
things must be right around the
comer. So a good many of them
decided there wasn’t any use in
working any more. They quit their
jobs, they sat around or visited
one another’s homes and all they
talked about was, “When will it
be?” Paul’s advice (besides tell*
ing them the end was not as near
as they thought) was to get jobs
and stay on them. It was to these
people that he made his famous
remark, “If any one will not work,
let him not eat.” (II Thess. 3:10.)
Suppose the end of all things is
reaUy near? Suppose Christ came
in glory to your town before Sun
day? Which would be better to be
found just sitting around, or stead
ily doing whatever duty might be
yours at the time?
• • ♦
The End of the World
After all, what does the “end of
the world” mean, practically? It
means that you and the world part
company; it vanishes before your
eyes. Whatever world you exist in
from that moment on, it will not be
this one. Now it makes small dif
ference whether the world folds
up and leaves you, or whether you
fold up and leave the world. One
thing is sure: whichever way it
is, you and this world, this world
of day and night, of sin and suf
fering and saintliness, this world
of animals, vegetables and min
erals—^you and this world are go
ing to part company, and you are
going to live long enough to see
that day. The big question is not
the negmess or the farness of that
day. The question is: What are
you going to put into the time be
tween now and then? If you
will look around you, you will see
many evidences that those who
went before you made wise plans
and did good deeds not only for
their own time but for yours as
well.

The Rev. C. K. Ligon and Dan
R. McNeill, pastor and an elder
of Brownson Memorial Presby
terian church, served on a com
mission appointed to dissolve a
country Presbvterian church near
Spies, Sunday, May 3. Most of the
members had moved to a town
church. Others on the commission
were the Rev. W. Golden and
Wilbur H. Currie of Carthage,
the Rev. W. O. Nelson of Robbins,
and the Rev. Charles Worth of
Aberdeen.
The commission was named on
April 21, at the 308th stated ses
sion of Fayetteville Presbytery
held at Angler. Mr. Ligon and Mr.
McNeill attended this meeting,
which was highlighted by the ac
ceptance of three candidates for
the ministry who were examined
and who preached their initial
sermons at that time.

No one doubts that we are living in troubled times. Few generations
have faced such a constant threat of war; none has known such appalling
weapons of destruction. A storm of terror threatens to engulf the world.
Yet, there are'some who see signs that the clouds may be breaking.
They point to crowded churches . . . Sunday Schools with record en
rollment . .'. tremendous demand for the new translation of the Bible.
They reason that such concern for the spiritual realities of life is certain
to have effect on the course of our history.
Whether we share their optimism or not, there is no denying the prem
ise on which it is based. Though we cannot read the future, we can read
the past. Man’s hope of peace and happiness, in national and in personal
life, has always rested upon spiritual foundations.
People who want the peace of God must turn to God to find it!

AU FOR THE CHURCH
The Church is the greatest fac
tor on earth for the building of
character and good citizenship. It
IS a storehouse of spiritual values
Without a strong Church, neither
democracy nor civilizaUon con
survive. There are four sound
reasons why every person should
attend services regularly and sup
port the Church. They are: (I)
(2) For his
children s sake. (3) For the sake
ot his community and nation. (4)
For the sake of the Church itseU,
which needs his moral and ma-
tOTial support. Plan to go to
