Magnolia trees and a warm southern breeze? Is it old, is it new, does it live in the past? J don't know all the ingredients that go into the finished product,; nor can I judge how it would seem to you. I can only tell you how it looks to me, the flavor that I get from it. . C If I were a painter, I might paint a picture of Kenansville as a study in light and shadow. The picture might not be, what anyone else sees there, but it would represent the feeling of the town as I felt' it, as I saw.it through my eyes. Since I am a 1 stranger here it ; is f natural that I should see it with a diferent perspective. Its sharply contrast ing characteristics may appear rnpre vivid to me i than to those to. whom the place is so familiar that they are unaware of them. I;have lived in a new mushrooming boom town with no past, and in the deep forest of Maine on4i lake in the wilderness with only deer and moose for neighbors, where no man has left his imprint. I have known the hustling, noisy gaudy town that is Chicago, and the quaint old .world walled city that is Quebec. , For severa years I stayed in a Presbyterian manse, in a small town in Georgia, and I have lived a longer time in a huge impersonal apartment on New York's East River. I found unspeakable beauty in the Canadian' Rock ies, hectic excitement in Hollywood. I havje lived '- in Santa Fe and Klamath Falls, in Portland, Maine 'and in Portland, Qfegoh, in Boston, Miami, Char lottesville .. .. . and I have liked them all, Each has its own flavor compounded of the past and. present,! ,the rlimatA '.thi inr!iisf.rie. trio sconorv' Mnct 'nf , them are memorable to me them,- KltWig&te&to . that each aves its -mark ,onihe other. 1 ' . the proud Wstbry of4ts "past; but U$s a new town, too. Its ancient houses stand Well back from it3 , shaded streets, the new, modern ones near paved Jtighwaysi . It has oneiof th?" oldest churches in . America , the Grove Presbyterian church, and it has a resplendent new brick one. It has a large up-to-date auditorium and a dignified stately court house. Soon ground will be broken for a complete ly modern hospital. The people are well aware of their history and tradition. They have seen it all , enacted in the majestic and ambitious pageant that was the "Duplin Story." Yet the town is , awake too, growing slowly, but growing. That , is the important thing.; A static town can stifle life by refusing to live in the present, discouraging .' any vision of the future. A town that, grows with its people has vigor, vitality, and is flexible enough : to meet the challenge of a new tomorrow. , Life is leisurely here; there is none of the , ulcer-producing pressure that you feel in New York or. Pittsburgh, i That is one reason why its people are friendlier,' they have more time to be ; friendly. Often in New England you can see on the faces of its paople a stern," tightlipped expres sion that is a reflection of the harsh hostility of its climate. In Kenansville, the air is warm and soft ; and the people are more relaxed and pleasant Life is easier,- the people more easy-going. If I . might paraphrase a verse from Proverbs, I would say that her ways are ways of pleasantness, and . in. her' paths. lies peace. 'fe-Mirt'y-'.;.- - tyi Would you like Kenansville?

The installation of stained glass windows, an organ, chancel furniture, lighting fixtures and new pews completes the church and readies the $80,000 plant for the dedication.. The divided chancel is finished in Walnut, similar to all woodwork in the nave, whose characteristic exposed trusses carry out the Goth ic motif of the structure. Three richly colored stained glass win dows in the chancel, with tradition al religious symbols, cast a soft light over the south end of the nave, whose focal point is an altar behind which hangs a heavy green and gold dossal cloth. The organ console is located in a recess at the rear of the chancel and divided choir occupies the area to the rear of the pulpit and lec tern.
