Denmin International Uniform SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON FOR DECEMBER 3. 1961 Scripture: Mattiiew 5:13 - 16^- Luke 10:1-24; Acts 4: 13-21. Memory Verse: "We cannot but speak of what we have seen and heard." --Actc4:20 In speaking about Growing as one witnesses , what could be a stronger and more com plete remark than the one found in the Book of Acts and suggested as our mem ory verse: "We cannot but speak of what we have seen and heard." There are many ways and means by which a Christian can witness of his Lord and Savior. The fact that we must surely be witnessing to the truth of a Rilen Christ must be uppermost in our hearts as we speak, or act, or silent ly meditate. Actually if we are Christ ian men- and women, have we not been with Je sus? In our walk of life day by day we wit ness. often times unknowing ly to the things that have been impressed on our minds. These impressions may be good and worthwhile: or they may be bad and create prob lems. It is as easy to witness of things which are wrong, as-it is to wimess of things which are sacred and go^. This surely was often the situa tion even in the days of the disciples and apostles. Laymen in all walks of life witness to new ideas and to new ways of doing things. We can be "professionals" in one field of endeavor, but laymen in another. So it was that the people referred to Peter and John as "common men." They were! They were also men who had seen Christ! Those in the synagogue at tempted to squelch the witness of these common men, but they could not, because when one has witnessed such a mag nificent life as that of Jesus, silence is impossible. The joy that is brought by His presence; the peace the is shown by his grace; the hope that is shared by His love INSURANCE Of ALL KINDS ^AGBIT /tunang IMB FIRE UFE AUTOMOBILE LIABILITY BOMEOWNEBS AM-** J.

Witness must but be an es sential pan of Christian Growth, because we can only grow as we witness dirough the impressions that he has made on our life. As we work and play; as we visit with ot hers or remain alone, we are confronted witfi Christ’s call to His children to "go ye therefore” and witness of a compassionate God. As Christians we must con stantly be alen to ways in wmch we may carry out this task of witness. Sometimes it will not be as easy as we might like it. One can rest assured that when a hard chore of witness is complet ed it is a happy one for that simple fact: that we have lear ned to appreciate God’s gift to us more completely. Many of us fail in having the enthusiasm to witness for the endeavors of the Church like we speak out. and speak for, the purposes of clubs and organizations other than the Church. This is not to say that these are not valuable in our life. They surely are. This is to say that the Church must have its proper relation ship to them: or better still they should have their proper relationship to the work of the When was the last time that you were ashamed to speak about the Church of Jesus Christ to someone, or in some particular, uncomfort able settins? These are great challenge to us! Unless we accept them and do as Peter and John, unhesitatingly speaking about Christ, then we fall into a pit of failure. Where Christ is involved the personal relationship of the individual warrants our wit ness as a constant reminder to the greatness that he brings to pur lives. Only as we come to know Him more fully will we more fully witness of His power. With one comes the other! With both comes a growth that makes our act of Chris tian witness an asset to the KingdSnTT- (The above lesson was writ-* ' ten for Clint H. Denman ty his nephew, HarryL.

By TOM WOOD Thousands of .Tar H^lS are learning a new approach to "Keeping up with the Jones es." For the record, the approach is "community and area development." Thiscon- 'cept of progress was put to work in 1950, officially. As a chief result, today there are 917 organized communities and ten organized areas in North Carolina. But these warm statistics give only a bare hint of ac hievements in North Caro lina’s people-to-people pro gram of progress. The real- story can be seen in a slip cover, a country ham, a cobbler’s bench and a place mat. Mrs. Charles Graham of Linwood (Davidson County) tells about the slip cover. She is chairman of the Community Development Division of the Northern Piedmont Area De velopment association. "You start out making a slip cover for- a chair, and before you know it you’ve remodeled your house -- and your pocketbook," she says. The face-lifting spirit (s very contagious in a com munity says Mrs. Graham. Mr. Jones brightens his home inside and out, and his neigh bors soon follow suit. The whole community becomes a better place to live as its ci tizens work together on im provements for the benefits of everybody.

Ma rion sells hundreds of hams each year at this "country store"; a project of the North west North Carolina Develop ment Association. Eighty-six per cent of the Trading Post incomes goes back to the people of the 11 Northwest counties who sell their homemade articles there. Mayleck Industries in Win gate (Union County) produce the cobbler’s bench along with 150 other decorative pine items for the home. "We’re doing a business of $1,500,000 a year and we’re $300,000 behind in orders,” says Bernard Helms, an of ficial of this eight- year old firm. Helms says that "anyone who lives in this community and asks for a job gets it. If he can’t do the first job we give him. we find one he can do." The restaurant place mat Is one facet of the Northern; Piedmont Association's cam paign to entice tourists “to spend another night" in the area. On the mat is a map of the seven-country area, with places highlighted of in terest to tourists. “Tourists spend $30 a day on the average," says John Gaddy, chairman of the as sociation’s Travel and Re creation Division. "The longer we can get them to stay in North Carolina, the more North Carolina benefits." Community Development, Agriculture, Industry, Travel and Recreation. These are the tools of progress in the Area Development Program. The neighbors are watching the Joneses with high Interest --not just to see whether they have anew car oracolor tee- vee. They’re looking in a spi rit of friendliness and coop eration for the community’s sake. And the J oneses are watch ing the Joneses in other com munities and counties and areas, where they may be ideas at work for progress that could work just as well back home. Greensboro leaders realiz ed a few years ago that bank depostis were bigger and per capita income higher in North west north Carolina than in the Northern Piedmont. The Northwest record in area de velopment convinced Greens boro leaders that they, too needed an area progress pro gram. Bland Worley, chairman of the board of the Northern Piedmont Association, be lieves the people of his area learned a great lesson from other areas. ’’We no longer feel that an Industry must come to Greensboro for our city to realize benefits from it," he says. "No city or county can go it alone, for prospective industries look at adjoining counties where much of their labor force may come from. "All of our organizations have one objective: To make the Northern Piedmont a better place to live In."
