AIR MAIL.. 40c Per Week' Sunday School Lesson TIIK TIIKSSALONIAN WITNESS International Sunday School Lesson for June 2, 1974 Scripture: 1 Thessalonians 1: 1-10 By The Reverend John W. Wenberg. Jr. We've heard about your faith. This is the message of Paul, Silvanus, and Timothy to the community of Christians in Thessalonica, a message that expressed a wonderful sense of satisfaction, that the Word had been sown m good soil and was bearing fruit. It was a message of thanksgiv ing for the Holy spirit, which had actively worked in the lives of these persistant missionaries and was becoming visible in the lives of others. Often, we only think of faith as expressing itself in and through individuals, but Paul is recognizing many individ ual faiths banded together into a strong, working body, a church really becoming the Church, and a people seriously living with Jesus Christ at the center of their existence. This is an important point for us to understand. We often hear people say that worship of God is an individual, per son thing, and that it does not have to take place within the sanctuary of a church. While this may be true, the wit ness of the Thessalonians says to us that when many band together, their corporate faith and worship is stronger and is more likely to be recognized. It is interesting to note that Paul characterizes the faith of the Thessalonians as meaning "solid achievement," their love as "hard work," and their hope as "dogged en durance." (Phillips trans.) This is what being a Christian and a church member is all about. When we are called to be Christians, we are not called into a life of ease, but rather, we are called to wrestle with God's claims upon our lives, to seek better ways to serve Him, and to witness in some meaningful response to the love that He has revealed for us in Jesus Christ. So many of our hymns characterize the Christian as being a soldier who has a battle to fight and a cause to struggle in. Involvement in the business of life is just that struggle if we seek to let Christ live in the midst of our relationships with other people. But this does require "dogged endurance," possible only if we are nurtured and fed by the sure foundation of Jesus Christ as proclaimed in the Church. Paul indicates that there is a constant learning process Involved in being a Christian. The people of the Thessalo nian church first sought to emulate the lives of those who brought the Gospel to their attention. What better examples to copy than Paul, Timothy, and Silvanus! We need to be aware of the influence our way of life may communicate to others. In these missionaries, the people saw individuals who really lived their beliefs, who were willing to suffer persecution for that which was alive within them, and the good new8 of this is that this kind of commitment rubs off. Finally, let us recognize the praise Paul offers for the Thessalonians. When there is reason to praise and give thanks, let us do so. Good work needs to be rewarded, and so does a faithful life. We need to offer encouragement even when it is not solicited, to give and not expect return, to love as God has loved us, and to rejoice in the saving grace God has provided for us in Jesus Christ.

Western Carolina Telephone Co. To Seek Rate Increase SUMMARY: Western Carolina Telephone cites relationship between im proved telephone service and earnings as main reason for filing request to raise rates. Western Carolina Telephone Company has filed a new rate plan that would raise residential rates an average of $3.40 per month, and business rates an average of $6.90 per month. These are average figures; the actual amount will depend upon the customer's particular rate group and grade of service. Together, these increases would produce approximately (1,500,000 in additional annual revenues. In conjunction with the filing, the company has requested Immediate, emergency rate relief, which, if approved by the North Carolina UtiUtles Com mission, would increase the individual customer's basw local service rate by no more than 20 percent Company president Norman L. Gum said, "This emergency relief is necessary because of the critical economic condition of the company. The funds would be collected under bond, subject to refund, with interest, should the Utilities Commission ultimately grant us an in crease that's less than the amount requested on an emergency basis." Gum pointed out that these are proposed increases, and may or may not be the ones i inpnt of ' ' - tv .-f- .ted arid w rJjced to that finally go into effect "The North Carolina Utilities Commission will review both our request for emergency rate relief and our proposed new rate structure." He also said that the need for the increase is tied directly to the company's ability to provide adequate service and meet future growth requirements. Gum said, "We have completed many service improvement projects in the last year or two. We have done this in spite of the severe financial strain we've been under. For example, we have completely eliminated multi party in our serving areas. We've increased our long distance calling capacity, installed new cable, hired people, and established new and more reliable equipment testing and monitoring procedures. "Ot course, in of Ibis costs money," be continued, "and costs keep going up. It's a fact of business life that you have to earn enough money to keep service up to par dedication and commitment on the part of our employees alone wont pay for the lines that provide improved grades of service, or buy the modern com munications equipment or the buildings in which to install it We need money to put their dedication to work. "All of our expenses have increased," Gum said. "Operating taxes are up almost 76 percent since 1972; "7 operating expenses are up nearly 19 percent; main tenance costs, 26 percent; and interest expenses, 22 percent "Our plant investment has gone up over 19 percent and over the next two year, we estimate we'll have to invest at least $13.3 million more to meet our commitment "We have made progress, but we also know there's still much more to be done. And we know we cant meet North Carolina's service needs without putting additional money into service im provement projects. But we can't build new facilities without capital, and we can't get that capital unless we're earning enough to attract the Investor who lends us the funds to build. "If what we earn is inadequate in comparison to what . other companies earn,1 then the investor will turn away fronWus and put his money elsewhere. And It must be remembered that this borrowed capital provides the main source of funds for building needed faculties and adding' other improvements. "We simply nave to produce adequate earnings in order to provide adequate service. We have an obligation to provide the best most reliable service possible, but can only do so if we have the money to do that Job," be stressed.
