Thre new members and one for mer member were elected to the deaconshlp of the Warsaw Baptist Church recently and the new mem bers were ordained for their res ponsibility during the evening wor ship service, Sunday, April 11. Ed Strickland, Paul Berry and Paul Potter were the three receiving the special recognition and charge and S. A. Tobey Jones was the fourth who replaces those retiring for at least one year under the rotation plan of membership used by the church. The retiring members in clude, C. V. darner; Leslie H. Brown, H. C. Allen and John An derson Johnson. '. In introducing the program plans Dr. Greenlaw, the pastor, stated that the service, was to be informal -as had been the first election of deacons and that throughout the service . he would call on various deacons and congregation for com ments pertinent to the discussion. No one had been instructed ahead of time. Comparing the Kingdom of God to kingdoms of earth, the Christian Church With the non-Christian worshipping- groups, the standard of Christians with the standards of others, one great difference was noted. In earthly kingdoms elec tions denote authority, the power to speak for others and to act in their stead. "It shall not be so among you," said Christ. Ministers and deacons are elected to serve. No scripture gives them authority or higher power than any individual member of the church. All are equal in opportunity and equal in ability to, reach out in service, claimed the pastor. When called into the of fice of minister or . deacon, one is called by God to serve. One must possess a humbleness of spirit, wil lingness to be directed and willing ness to do the wills of other people. One of the few organizations in the world today which has all the at the top is a Baptist church. All authority rests in the will of the auhority rests in he will of the congregation. A Baptist Church or dains a minister as the servant of The Word - to interpret, The Word as a servant to congregation and others wherever and whenever needed. The Baptist Church elects and ordains the deaconshlp to ad minister the affairs of the churqh, to do the workthat the .congrega tion cannot do alf the tlmev It is expedient to have a group called by God, elected by the church to follow the will of the church body. The deaconshlp makes recommenda tions to the church body who may accept or reject them: Two former chairmen of the deaconshlp made spontaneous com ments concerning the depths of the responsibility which they know so little about before accepting the office and the value of the exper ience to their personal development and their desire ' to- serve their church more effectively. Explaining what the "Setting A- part" in the service meant, the pastor said that an ordination meant that the Holy Spirit had led the church membership to select a group of people, then those who had already been ordained will set the stamp of approval upon what the church has done. It is the Ex pression 6f the people in believing that the Holy Spirit guided the church in the selection of indivi duals not because of their name, prestige, or money, but because they had the qualities that were fitting for a servant of the Master and ad ministrators of the church affairs. To those called by God, selected and elected by the church life be comes different., Two young deacons testified that the experience of or dination, was another step in the learning "of God's plan for one's life. "No batter environment -is pos sible than the fellowship and work among this group of men," stated H. C. Allen. Robert Blackmore as serted that wnen ne was oroainea he was afraid and he still was yet since that experience he had never made any major decision, personal or business, without remembering tha promise 1 made to God and to my fellow deacons and my church. I hop always to keep, that exper ience alive." Deacons are set apart as leaders. Following the reading of the church Covenant which states clearly the qualifications of all Christians of e Missionary Baptist Church, the pas tor called oa three young people in tha congregation to state what they expected of the deaconshlp. Miss Iris Zxzell challenged them to Winners At an assoclational Baptist Train ing Union rally held at Rowan Church Sunday afternoon, April 11, the Warsaw Baptist Church had two groups participating in the tourna ments and both groups came home victorious. Eleven, Juniors took part in the Junior Memory Work drill and. the eleven won, thus earning the privilege of participating in the Regional Conference on April 30 with the state finals as their goal in July at Caswell Baptist Assem bly. Mrs. W. Y. Varin is the leader of this group including, Misses Ann Straughan, Mabel Jane Straughan, Eleanor Herring: Jlmmie Bradshaw. Hubert' Merritt, Bill Rollins, Billy- Vann, Bill Straughan, Drew Grice, Jimmie Boyette, Joe HarrelL These must memorize 52 Bible verses and be able to give them in four differ ent type drills. The Warsaw Junior Choir, 17 members, under the direction of Mrs. John Anderson Johnson took part in the Hymn Festival. To be eligible the choir had to memorize all stanzas to five hymns designated by the committee. The .choir pre sented one hymn as its choice and then was called upon to sing one of the other four that the committee selected. Rating "A" on the score board, the choir thereby won the privilege of singing at the Reginal Conference and perhaps at the state Assembly at Caswell in July. Warsaw was exceeded. in number in the junior Memory Work by only one church, the Rowan Church, which had thirteen winners. The Warsaw choir was the only choir in the Association participating this year. The choir work is not on com petive basis. Each choir receives its own rating, judged for tone, ex pression, memorization of words, enunciation, posture and attention. be consecrated, Christ-led Christ ians and those with ability to take over the duties of the pastor in his absence. Miss Betty Ann Parker stated that the deaconshlp should be examplery in character and actions as much as the pastor almost be cause the youth did look up to them. Marvin Sutton, youth week pastor, expressed his opinion con cerning the responsibilities of lead ership held by the deacons and felt that in every way they should be leaders with the deepest con victions and highest ethical stand ards. James Franklin Strickland wit nessed to the challenge of the dea conship to his personal life, to his business relationships, and said that through the experiences on the deaconshlp he had found it a thrill ing experience to try to help some one else come closer to Christ and God. A retiring deacon, C. V. Garn er, spoke of his personal love for his fellow jnan, the church, and the group of co-workers on the deaconship. He found joy in doing his little part as best he could in the spirit of humility. Other deacons, all present who had at some time been ordained into the deaconship taking part in the prayer circle and the laying on of hands were: Edgar Pollock, A.L. Humphrey, George Bennett, Bill Vann, Oscar H. Best, J. F. Strickland, H. C. Allen, L. H. Brown, C. V. Garner, Davis Holl- ingsworth, Robert Blackmore and S. A. Jones. (N. A. Mitchell and H. A. Parker were absent due to family illness). Joe Best of Clinton was. a guest at the service and took part as an ordained deacon. Dr. Greenlaw closed the service with the declaration, "Called by God to serve, elected by the church, set apart by the church" in ordina tion, the pastor and deaconship take up the leadership of the church af fairs ,W be looked up to NOT AS' AUTHORITY but as examples in character and purpose of living - a dedicated life to a dedicated pur pose." ; ARTHRITIS?

Greenlaw Regains Pastorate With conviction and heartfelt e motions Marvin Sutton (called Dr. Alton Greenlaw to the pulpit of the Warsaw Baptist Church on Sunday evening and gave back to him the honor of being pastor of the church which he had so graciously relin quished on March 28. For one full week the responsibilities of the church leadership was carried by the Youth Week pastor, Marvin Sutton, and his well organized co workers. In commenting on the week Dr. Greenlaw said, "The benefits of such experiences cannot be evalu ated. The church discovered talents and personalities that deserve 'fur ther developments and use. The church gained a better understand ing of its youth, to sponsor, to pro mote, to challenge and to channel the Vitality, energy, alertness, and enthusiasm of the youth for Christ is to make life's greatest invest ments and can be done with assur ance of life's richest dividends "The young people had a good time, though scared to death. When they had their first meeting and given the challenge, they accepted the challenge of the adult deacons and went to work prayerfully to ful fill every expectation of them and to add many surprising facts along the way. This they have done. They began and they ended in the spirit of prayer, cooperation, teamwork, and personal appreciation of one another. As a member of this church I've worked mighty hard this week under the direction of this new pastor, Marvin Sutton. He gets things done and I have been nappy to work along with him and all of the young people. More than 70 took definite responsibilities during the week. From these 70 the church will find its regular leadership, deacon ship, choirs, etc. in such a short time. "As I regain my position as pas tor, I accept the challenge set by our youth. They did their best; they were faithful and willing to learn, willing to try and willing to work AFTER they had prayed for them selves, each other, and all others. I hope all adults will join me in following their example." PVT. FRANK O. HUNTER TOKYO Army Pvt. Frank D. Hunter, 21, son of Mr. and Mrs. Sam Hunter, Route 1, Faison, N.
