Leteon Text : I Peter 1 :S-9 ; 5 :8-t 1 JESUS IS THE SON OF GOD This lesson is reminiscent of that for the first Sunday of this month, when Peter, writing: to the early Christians was encouraging them to ' remain faithful even during perse cution and consequent suffering. Just what oiurht the Christian's 1 H attitude be toward suffering or sor 9 row or ridicule or persecution be cause of his faith in Jesus? To some, this only strengthens their faith, to others it increases their fear, they become rebellious or re sentful, and some even give up their faith altogether. The letter which Peter wrote, which bears his name, was written to Hebrew Christians "sojourners of the Dispersion." These believers were suffering 'terrible hardships. Run out of Jerusalem because of their belief in Jesus Christ, they were forced oftentimes to leave loved ones and all that they owned behind. Not satisfied to persecute the be lievers in Jerusalem, the fanatical Jews and hostile pagans pursued them everywhere they went, making their lives as miserable as they pos sibly could. What were these be lievers to do under the circumstanc es? Were they supposed to bear such cruelties as a result of their faith? Peter, in writing to them, does not tell them merely to "forget it," but he does not suggest that they organize an army of resistance. Pe ter knew himself such persecution. He points out to them that, while they may be suffering here, they have a "living hope'' for the future, by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead an inheritance in corruptible, and undefiled, and thai fadeth not away, reserved in heaven for .you.". The Christian's inherit ance is secure "- i$ is preserved and 3 Tent (in. heaven where, no one. can break throcurnc to. take it, , J", d (Like gold, U refined only, by i 3p&n ftta.. tMudtflsa ia, tag- BIG BliANGI (NEAR MARS HILL) . -The Mr Hill Community Sunday School class enjoyed a picnic dinner on the lawn of Mr. and Mr. Harley 'Jvlley on' Sunday of this week. Ev eryone : there seemed to enjoy the nfce food. Mr. Jolley la the Com munity teacher. We are very sorry that little Bil ly Goforth ia so sick. He has been in an Asheville hospital for a week and has had four doctors attending him. The doctors say he has con tracted TB from drinking cows' milk. Silly is the son of Mr. and Mrs. R. F. Goforth of West Ashe ville. The doctors say more chil dren catch TB from the use of milk than any other way. It would be wise for everyone who has cows to have them tested for TB. Mr. and Mrs. J. W. Moss and their little son, J. C, have gone to Florida for a few days. We hope they enjoy their trip very much. Mr. L. C Smith has been sick for a few days but is better now. Mr. Ernest Thomas is making some nice improvements on nis house. Mrs..

We have just finished totaling the circulation figures for the month Of June. More books were loaned than in any previous month in the his tory of the Madison County Public Library 1873. May was the next highest with 1678 books going out We were on the route 15 times in May, and only 12 in June. lit jus happened to come out that way be cause of the 28-day schedule. Tues day, June 5, was the best day, with, a circulation of 306 books. That, is Paint Rock-ShutinBlood River-Hot Springs day. The next highest was Barnard-Big Pine-Walnut day when 246 books were borrowed. 976 of the total number represents children or teen-age books, and 897 adult. We can see that we must get busy to morrow morrting and process aB those new books that came in last week or 'Bookie's' shelves will be looking kind of empty. What with the end of the fiscal year June 30 and budgets and statistical reports staring us in the face, we did not have time on Fri day to look over the new books very carefully. But what we saw while unpacking and checking looked very good. What's more we will be put ting in a new order right after Juiy first, so let's have your requests the next time I come around your way. Several people have asked me late ly if I ever have time to read any of those books that 'Bookie' hauls around. The answer is: "Yes," 'but not as many as I would like to read. 'Bookie' is a pretty smart old girl; and someday maybe she will be able to go from one stop to the next all by herself, while I sit back and read. I can just see myself closing up the sides of the bookmobile after se lecting a nice interesting book, set tling back real comfortable-like, and .saying, " Bookie', that's all for to day. Suppose you take me home now, while I enjoy this good book, Please don't disturb me, unless something real important comes up." Well, I can almost see this but not quite.

Peter urged the Christians to trust in God, to cast their anxieties on him in quiet confidence that he would provide for their need and supply them with the necessary grace and strength to come through victoriously. The inspiring testimo ny of many missionaries to the truth of this statement should cause all Christians to rely more on God and trust Him to take care of them. It is well to remember that while suffering may be the result of our own sinfulness, carelessness or ig norance, much suffering is without cause from our standpoint. We may have to suffer innocently. Howev er, whatever the cause, we are stew ards of the experience, and through our Christian faith we can make suffering turn out for good. We have all admired the ability of some men and women to "take" the sorrow and suffering which may have come to them in good spirit. We all need to be prepared for such experiences, since we never know when k may be our turn to under go them. As one writer declares, "All Christians must be prepared to take it,' however hard and rocky the way of their Christian -witness. however trying the problems in their personal relationships. ft takes en durance to work in hard placet, to live Christian lives in un-ehristian homes, to toil on without praise, and to believe the . victory will corns when all the odds seem to be against you." . .'
