LUNDQUIST, D. D. Dean of The Moody Bible Institute of Chicago, i New (Released by Western Newspaper Union.) VOL. II OCTOBER 9. 1941 NO. 45 AN OPPORTUNITY LOST Last year, it was advocated in this newspaper that the State of North Carolina establish. a bond issue to loan money to counties to acquire land on which to build airports. Under the plan, any county or town which might show convenience and necessity for an airport could readily find the means to get the necessary land, _ not only to take ad vantage of CAA appropriations, but for other purposes incident to the development of an airport. Had the Legislature taken hold of the idea, many coun ties at this time might be relieved of a difficult and bur densome problem. Roanoke Island for instance, has re cently b,een deemed of great importance for a modern air port, both the Army and the Navy consider an airport on the Island of value to National Defense, and the Civil Aeronautics Authority has set up $404,000 as a starter on this work, and is in a hurry to go to work at once. Had the legislature anticipated the great development in aviation, and made it possible to aid the nation readily in this respect, the work on the airport might now be well underway. But as it is, the work is delayed while public spirited men go about on their own time, trying to quickly raise money to buy the necessary land. It is often difficult to raise money on short notice, for in many instances those who would gladly chip in their share, have other obligations which press them. Fortu nately it looks as if the airport will be made possible. But when it is, the man to thank will be John E. Ferebee, a public spirited citizen of the Manteo vicinity who on his own time, has led the movement to raise money, going from this acquaintance to that one, and seeking the loan of $100 to $2,000. John Ferebee next to Dave Driskill may be called the guiding star of aviation in Dare County. If the airport is completed with its 4,000 foot hard surface runways, and its seaplane ramp leading in from the deep waters of Croa- tan Sound, Roanoke Island will have an airport that can handle the largest and fastest ships of all types. It will be unique along the coast of North Carolina. It will, place Roanoke Island and surrounding section in a most advan tageous position to take care of air tourist business for many years to come. But the time will come when the State will be driven to establish a fund to take care of future aviation needs. Every community will not be so fortunate as Roanoke Island in being located so strategically from the defense viewpoint. Many communities needing an airport will have to do the whole job themselves. ^ Roanoke Island’s good fortune is something that should make its people thank their lucky stars, make greater sacrifices and work all the harder to get this great improvement quickly.

FLIER Speaking of aviation, there is a man whose loss to Dare County would be keenly felt. Dave Driskill is connected with the National Park and may soon be transferred some ^stance from Dare County. But he has done a great thing for this section. He has taught the people the advantages of aviation in the development of the Carolina coast. When he came to Manteo, many were skeptical of airplanes. But gradually he won the confidence of young and old by his fiafe and skilful flying. It wasn’t long before he was tak- iiig up citizens of all ages, from 85 down to infants. Con sequently, Roanoke Island soon became boosters of avia tion. ’And many sportsmen, who might never have come to this section, came to fish and hunt all along the North Carolina coast, taking advantage of Driskill’s taxi-plane service, and thereby making this locality something of head quarters. A great help to Driskill was a group of Manteo people who jumped in and financed the first aurplane. Later Stan ley Wahab, businessman of Ocracoke and Baltimore came into the picture. He was quick to see the advantages of modem air travel with a great American flier like Driskill to manage it. Saturday night, October 18th, Mr. Wahab, with a group pf citizens from along the coast, will meet with a group of businessmen from Baltimore, at Ocracoke Island, to plan an air route on a large scale, along the coast, and serving the whole coast. Out of that meeting is expected to evolve something of great interest to this section. Within five years, aviation will have grown by such leaps and bounds that one v.dll marvel at the unconcern of to day. The place that gets on its toes now, is the place that will be on top then. Those communities that neglect to see the demands of airtravel, will be sadder and wiser. We of this section are fortunate in having men with the vision of Wahab and Driskill and the others who have aided them, for we may hope for great advantages as a result in the near future. AUTUMN IN THE SOUTHERN ALBEMARLE Maybe the hot weather is most over. Indian summer will be dwelling with us. It is no lovelier anywhere than m the Southern Albemarle Counties of Dare, Hyde, Tyrrell. We sometimes think it is lovelier here than anywhere else in the world. For in the afternoon when the sun sinks low, and rose and purple, and blue mingle royally across the broad waters with the setting sun, there is no more glori ous picture anywhere. ■ ^ i. There is nothing that compares with the quiet that set tles down along the country roads in evening as smoke curls lazily from chimneys, and every sound is a distant one. -Afar off is the baying of a dog, or the laughter of little children, or the rustling of geese overhead. _ _ It is a most delightful time of the year. Morning logins crisp and cool, when there is a joy in working, and a tingle in the blood that sets one to dreaming, and arouses mem ories of the distant past and ambitions of the future, it fires one’s blood to see men bringing m the harvest, pro viding for another winter; with the fields marked by stacks of nev/ mown hay, with hogs fattening in the pens, and chickens allowed to run further in the fields. , If one would enjoy Indian summer at its best, he shouia begin at any point in the Southern Albemarle. He should take in Columbia, Swan Quarter, and Manteo on his travels, the inevitable triangle of travel which embraces three counties. He would then view Matthmuskeet a;nd see the fertile farms of Hyde; he would come through the hsh- ing villages of the Dare mainland; he would cross Croat^ Sound and see the ocean; he would witness the magnifi cence of Tyrrell, with its nearby Lake Phelps region and Pettigrew Park. . , . Here is the place to spend Indian summer. Quail shoot ers, deer shooters, bass fishermen, ocean fishermen, h^tory lovers, or those who seek only the solid comforts, this is the place to come, the Southern Albemarle. “I believe in God, the Father Al mighty, . . . and in Jesus Christ His only Son, our Lord ... I be lieve in the Holy Ghost.” How often we have solemnly repeated these words in the Apostles’ Creed, and how appropriate it’is that our pres ent three month series of lessons on great Christian teachings should be gin last Sunday with a study of God, the Creator and heavenly Father, and continue today with Christ the Stewart Daniels of Norfolk spent the week end here with relatives.

The False Greatness of the World (v. 25). “Rulers”—“great ness”—“exercise authority”—how altogether up-to-date these words sound. They are the big and swell ing words of the small hearts and minds which rule after the manner of this world. They epitomize the ambitions of the great' majority of mankind, but they are definitely non-Christian. We see that as we go on to consider 2. The Humility of True Great ness (vv. 26, 27). Service in the spirit of humility and self-sacrifice— this is the standard of Christ Yes, and it is His command to His fol lowers.

The Seeking Saviour (Luke 19:1-10). There is much that is precious and beautiful to be said about our Lord, but perhaps nothing which brings Him so close to needy hu manity as the fact that He had “come to seek and to save that which was lost” (v. 10). He was 1. Ever Interested in Sinners (vv. 1-7). Jesus was on this occasion coming up to Jerusalem for the last time. The cross was ahead. He was much taken up with His coming death and greatly straitened in spirit (see Mark 10:32 and Luke 12:50). He was passing through the great and wicked city of Jericho, yet in the midst of His deep sorrow and out of the vast multitude of that city He reached out to touch one sinner. Zacchaeus was a man despised for his calling of tax collector, and I hated for his dishonesty. He was [ an outcast from his own people and | a stranger to God’s grace, but Jesus was interested in him. Are we ready thus to go to seek and save the lost? Are we better (or busier) than Mrs. Earl Mae of Norfolk spent the week end here with her mother, Mrs. Arietta Tillett. Mr. and Mrs. Lynton Daniels of Norfolk visited his mother, Mrs. Florence Daniels this week. Mr. and Mrs. Kalb Daniels and our 2. Always Able to Save Sinners (vv. 8-10). Zacchaeus was a rich man, but he was a sinner. It is not easy for a rich man to be saved, but it can be done (see Matt 19: 23-26). Read the preceding verses of that chapter (w. 16-22) and you learn of another rich man who was not saved: the rich young ruler. He was a far better man than Zac chaeus—honest, upright, honored in his community. How was it that the wicked and despised rich man was saved and the good and respect ed rich man was lost? The answer is that the former ad/ mitted that he was a sinner and thus made it possible for Christ to save him, while the latter loved him self and his gold more than Christ and shut the door against His re deeming love. Mrs. Grace Thomas and children, Nita and David, and Mr. and Mrs. A. R. Basnight of Norfolk, have returned to their homes after visit ing relatives here. Mrs. J. B.
